Just a couple of things.

-I'm turning 25 on Monday and it seems like the kind of thing you should do something for. I was going to invite people to the pool until some things happened, but now I don't want to, so. I'm going to be at the Inkwell and will accept all birthday congratulations, gifts, and complaints about how grey water is super weird.

Anyone can come, it's not like I run the bar. Unless you're that guy that threatened me, you have to stay at least ten feet away from me at all times.

[Water being grey now is not actually why the pool party is being called off, but it makes an excellent excuse.]

-Does anyone have any advice about explaining your sudden changes in behavior to people who know you really well but don't know what's going on with Retrospec? I can't not talk to my parents.

I trust Chuuya! Even if I don't trust your friend still.

[arahoushi]

that's fair. Zoro's an aqcuired taste

[thesettingsun]

Would it be weird to wish you luck? Since you've already acquired him.

[arahoushi]

hah!
i like you
i'm using that on him the next time he annoys me

[thesettingsun]

How long will that take? Five minutes?

[arahoushi]

hah!
nah he's not that bad. or maybe i'm just used to him by now

[thesettingsun]

Your level of tolerance is awe-striking.

[arahoushi]

in my job i've learned to let a lot of things roll off my back
like zoro when i chuck him into the mats

[thesettingsun]

That's impressive too! But in a different way. His picture makes him look like he's pretty tough.

[arahoushi]

he just tries to look tough
he's gotta hide his squishy interior somehow

[thesettingsun]

He has a soft side?

[He shouldn't ask where Zoro can see it, but now he has to know.]

[arahoushi]

i mean
sure
theoretically

[thesettingsun]

That sounds a lot like 'not really'.
