[Hey Retrospec, I hope you're having a good morning. And if you aren't, well...there's kitty posters that are designed to deal with just that. Hang in there, buckos. But for those of you that ARE, Crow's going to take to the network.

You know those traits that are all the craze and amplifying themselves? Well Crow's got em full swing, and his desire to help out his younger friends overpowers all else--in both everyday life and love lives. Unfortunately, it feeds right into his own self destructive behavior, so...

Hey Retrospec-ers!

It's February, and you know what that means? Smmmoochessss? Hand holding. Candle light dinners~

It's a whole month dedicated to finding Mr. or Ms. Right, and with Valentine's day right smack in the center of the month, it's even generous enough to give you 2 weeks to buy discount candy. What could be better?

Well I'll tell ya

How about a date with my buddy, Rean Schwarzer? The guy had a pretty rough month in January and he's a little too shy to get out into the world and meet someone

He's about 5'8'', black hair, pretty good looking if I had to judge myself... He'll talk to you about anything and everything, and personality's got a little kick to it, if you're looking for excitement

Contact for more details

LATER!

[Crow scans Rean's answer before replying.]

Short he could be into

Dead, probably not so much

[floret]

You know, that's fair
If I ever lose the app and go back to having a body (& we're not all annihilated by the collapse of reality or whatever), maybe you can have him hit me up

[jurai]

Well, he's a good guy anyway, you could just go hang out with him

Not that I'm trying to sell my best buddy or anything, but no reason not to hang out. And you got my seal of approval too, so


Why not, right?

[floret]

I feel like I'm getting mixed signals.
If you're trying to spare my feelings, it's really not a big deal...

[jurai]

Ah, sorry

I meant there's nothing wrong with going and hanging out, right?


Rean's butt needs to get more social anyway

[floret]

Um
Did you want to do a group hang or something, maybe?
That'd probably be easier anyway. I can't really do much one on one interacting in public without making whoever I'm with look like a weirdo with an imaginary friend

[ he might be reading too much into this, but he doesn't want to do anything crow's going to feel weird about, and it kind of seems like he feels weird about it!! ]

[jurai]

[He's so sorry, Jamie, his emotions are out of WHACK ever since this morning. One minute you're fine, the next you're putting up a tinder ad in a wave of self destruction.]

Ah, good point. Well, if it's alright with Rean, I wouldn't mind

[If it was just Crow, he could get around it by holding his phone out acting like he was on speaker phone with someone, but that's a lot of acting.]

[motiv8]

[Guess who's watching the post?]

I'm fine with it. Just have to pick a day you don't have night classes, Crow.

[floret]

[ GAH ... he didn't mean to leave Rean hanging like that, but he wanted to make double sure he was fully respecting whatever Crow's feelings are here before carrying on with that particular conversation (established friends are supposed to get priority over potential new friends)...!

and... since his attempts to get a less noncommittal response have failed... he's still not... double (or even single) sure. at this point he's gone ahead and read the public portions of the other conversations on the post, and that's clarified some things, he guesses, but like.....??
(anyway, he's been so withdrawn from pretty much everyone lately that he knows his intuition has probably gotten rusty and shouldn't be trusted.)

but at the very least, when it comes to Jamie and Rean (and Crow?) meeting up, Crow definitely seems closer to "willing to make peace with it" than to "happy about it."

so. ]

You know
We're all really busy, and it seems silly to waste an evening on something just because it probably wouldn't hurt. Maybe we should wait and see if things calm down a little and revisit it then?

[motiv8]

[Unfortunately for Crow and everyone who ships it, Rean is a certified dumbass and isn't getting those vibes at all.]

Hm? Sure, I mean, I wouldn't want to force you into anything. I'm just as fine with holding off.

[jurai]

[Crow's eyebrows throw themselves up at the sudden mood change, although that's not exactly noticeable from the feed. Ah...he supposes he did word that a little oddly.

Hm.

It's not for a couple minutes that Crow starts typing again.]

C'mon, Jamie, you and I both know that things never 'calm down' around here

It's weirdly the beginning of the month where things don't go to shit


But I can always reschedule, if it works better for YOU that way.

[floret]

[ HE'S NOT EVEN TRYING TO SHIP IT (because if you don't have pretty good reason to believe both people involved definitely like each other, then it's, like....... nonconsensual shipping, right??) he's just trying not to be a shitty person who ignores his friend's obvious lack of enthusiasm for something

but now he's worried he might be a shitty person who super overreacted to his friend's obviously normal level of enthusiasm???
or at any rate a shitty person who has rudely rebuffed a perfectly nice and cool guy who just wanted to see a ghost or w/e ]

We'll see! I guess!
Sorry.
Anyway, it was nice talking to you!
