voice| on the other (octopus) hand

[ohrlyeh]

[Usually Howard interacts with the network through text, since he's nervous of using any other format, but this time, his deep and weary voice can be heard.]

Um. A question out of curiosity, I-I suppose. If you've "received" a physical change through Retrospec, what was it? If you've received several, what is the worst one...?

[There's the sound of something falling off a table onto the floor. He lets out a shuddering sigh, his tone slightly exasperated.]

Yeah. [A pause.] Before I forget, I need someone who can go out and get some groceries for me. I'll pay you for it. I just don't feel like going outside for a while. I-I'm fine...really...............

[ooc: somebody's got tentacle hands now. life is fun!]

She does look good.

...Tentacle arm? Is he the one who posted on the network a while ago? I always wondered what happened to him.

[me_matey]

he turned out aight. but he was super scared of goin to school and how ppl would treat him yanno?

[ohrlyeh]

Of course he'd be scared...people have bad reactions to things they don't understand.

[Fear of the unknown, and all.]

But if he's dealing with it fine, then I'm happy for him.

[me_matey]

it means ur probs gonna be okay too. u got friends. u got sakura AT LEAST and u kno shed tell u how cool u look and mean every word.

[ohrlyeh]

...I do.

[Sakura will always be there for him. John, too. Kei, and Jamie, and Shuji, and everyone else...]

I mean, nothing happened, but...yeah. She would find me cool, no matter what.

[me_matey]

shes amazing like that. one of a kind.

so i know that much will be ok.

does that help at all?

[ohrlyeh]

A little actually...thanks.

[To think of Sakura smiling at him...it feels good.]

She really is one of a kind. I'm so grateful to have a dear friend like her, you know?

[me_matey]

hard same

[ohrlyeh]

How long have you known Sakura? You two sound close.

[me_matey]

we met last year. we moved in together shortly after.

[ohrlyeh]

Oh! You're her roommate. That's quite nice. I don't think she's ever mentioned that before.

[me_matey]

eh i can see that. if it aint come up, she aint gon bring it up

[ohrlyeh]

She's a bit of a private person, so...well, I wouldn't push her for things she doesn't want to say.

[A slight huff.]

I'm glad she has people around her to support her. Sometimes I don't feel like I do enough...

[me_matey]

nah u aint gotta be like that. not with her. sakura is just happy to have people appreciate her for her.

hell knowing her shes probably more worried about what she can do for u

[ohrlyeh]

Ha. That fits me and her both.

I suppose that's why we get along, now that I think about it. We have the same view towards others and how they treat us.

[me_matey]

birds of a feather i guess. she brings out the best in folks either way.
