A wish.

[livingimpaired]

[ The Holy Grail. He does not recall exactly what it is, but from what he gathers from the brief memory with the "King of Heroes," it is something to wish upon. And Kei's other self would allow that man to "wish for death." What does that mean? No, he understands it simply, but there is more said and unsaid than he can unravel. ]

With all this business going on, some frivolousness ponderings might be an enjoyable distraction.

Well, then. If you could wish for anything, what would it be? [ A pause. Kei thinks of sending it like that yet he feels that may be too telling. Too telling of what? He's uncertain, but adds more to cover up his uncertainty. ] Though, with Valentine's Day is coming, most are thinking of just wishing for someone to spend that day with, hm? :)

Might I ask why the reclusiveness?

[livingimpaired]

You may. I like humanity quite a bit, as we have already discussed, but my view on my own life is so dangerously nihilistic that I found it best to avoid others rather than upset them.

And I say nihilistic but it is only because we have not come up with a better word for my views. I'm actually quite religious, for example, but I won't get into that with you. But just saying that I'm negative doesn't quite describe it. Nihilism puts a better image in your head, I'm sure, and so that is why I use that word.

In short, I recognize myself to be an odd person and avoided people so that I would not trouble them. I suppose I could have just written that, but oh well.

[drydrown]

I see what you mean about the negativity, anyway, because I wouldn't consider you to be such. More just rather...null? So I guess it gets the point across well enough.

That said, that's...interesting? A bit surprisingly self-sacrificing to something of an insipid degree, but interesting regardless.

[livingimpaired]

Thank you.

I wouldn't call it self-sacrificing, however. I'd call it living in society. After all, the average person doesn't attempt to make an uncomfortable situation for others. That is about what I am doing.

[drydrown]

They don't go out of their way to make things uncomfortable, at any rate. There are a fair few people who don't particularly care one way or another.

[livingimpaired]

Haha. True. But I promise you that I'm not a self-sacrificing person.

[drydrown]

Congratulations on the common sense, then.

[livingimpaired]

Thank you.

It seems we have warmed up greatly to one another. How marvelous. I hope this means that your day will be a far merrier and bright one.

[drydrown]

[uh]

...Yours as well, if you care for such a thing.

[livingimpaired]

I don't.

But I appreciate the effort that you are putting forth to wish me well. Thank you.

[oh gospodi all right then - ]

Dear God, please tell me now that you've come out of hiding you'll actually try to become a real boy someday.

[livingimpaired]

[ ... ]

I don't think that is possible.
And you shouldn't concern yourself with it.
This state that I am in does not cause me any suffering.
I am fine.
For someone that thinks only of himself, shouldn't you be worried of more important things?

... It seems you just needed someone to worry about you first. I shall say something presumptuous and may come off as a curse to you. However, I believe you shall be fine, and will no longer see reason to run away from this app.

[drydrown]

[...WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CALL HIM OUT LIKE THAT, BRO, WE WERE DOING JUST FINE- ]

Don't worry, I'm not concerned about you, nor do I particularly care if you're worrying about me. Self-centered and all, remember.

[livingimpaired]

[ I DUNNO, MAN. IT'S KIND OF HIS THING. ]

Yes, yes, of course.
I apologize.

[drydrown]

[GOD I MEAN HE'S NOT MAD HE'S JUST KIND OF

YOU KNOW HOW CATS GET WHEN THEY'RE ANNOYED AND THEY JUST KINDA. PUFF. DON'T TOUCH ME I'M BIG.]

Yes, well. It's fine, I suppose.

[livingimpaired]

Good.

I would hate if this got in the way of our blossoming friendship, Alexander Cumore.

[drydrown]

[...UM???]

...Yes, quite.

[god you can practically see his brain short out over those two damn words of text]

[livingimpaired]

Yes, quite.
