No one put me up to this.
I'm doing this of my own free will.

[ohrlyeh]

[is this the picture of true beauty...he's almost shedding a tear]

you are living an incredibly blessed life. you are so unimaginably lucky to have all of them

[playdolls]

No, it's Shuji getting back at me for trashing his book,
isn't it! I let him insult my shit, it's all even!

[playdolls]

[ This is... amusing. ]

Do you want to come meet the cats?

[livingimpaired]

Do you really think Shuji has that sort of cruelty in him?
You know the answer is that he does not.
I am merely an odd person.
An odd person that has chosen to accept you.
You who says who does not need it, but is terrified of it.
Indeed, you need it more than others.

[ohrlyeh]

could i

[playdolls]

Yes. If you bring me a coffee.

[ohrlyeh]

what kind do you want?

[playdolls]

If that's true, it's just to push your own narrative that you think I'm some sensitive waif who needs you. Why wouldn't that annoy me?

[playdolls]

Cappuccino~

[livingimpaired]

When did I say you were a sensitive waif?
I do believe I called you an odd one, too, yes?

[ohrlyeh]

alright. where do you want me to deliver it to

[playdolls]

What, I'm supposed to think you respect me while simultaneously telling me I need acceptance?

[livingimpaired]

Yes.

[playdolls]

Well, it doesn't work like that.

[playdolls]

Come by the morgue. I'll take you up to my apartment from there.

[livingimpaired]

I can't do anything about your feelings and thoughts.
I can only tell you what mine are.

I respect you and your willingness to put your art out to the public.
I respect you speak honestly about your feelings and your opinions.
And I say you need acceptance because you've been rejected or believe yourself rejected by humanity.
So I accept you, my odd creepy one.

[ They feel confused and rather impotent in this situation, and they don't like it. At a loss for any further argument to such a bizarre confession, they slam their phone face down and stop answering.

But it lingers on their mind like a curse. ]

[ohrlyeh]

be over there as soon as i can

[vitis]

well
that much is nice of you at least, i guess

[livingimpaired]

Ah.
But where do I send the cash.

[ Like she even wants it anymore, man. ]

[lalliho]

I don't think it counts as dead since it was never alive

[Not the main point, but he's trying to regain the comfort he had with spirits and stuff, after unwelcome memories. Death was natural! This doll was not. And neither was this assessment, even if he has the chilling ache in his bones that suggests Pitou might be onto something.]

that shouldn't mean I think it's thinking about hurting me right away

[playdolls]

Donate it. Animal shelter. Reco Central.

[livingimpaired]

You don't want it anymore?

[playdolls]

There's where it would have gone to begin with.
