Just a rainy day...

[oi_theoi]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 59, Noon
Where: Anywhere
What: A soggy mingle.

[ The mist around headquarters is mostly cleared along with the morning air, but people may have noticed that it hung around much later into the morning than usual. The rain that started in last night has also been continuing, strong enough to be heard anywhere inside the stone headquarters and much heavier than one would expect for a sudden tropical rain. It also looks as if it'll be lasting the rest of the day and then some. Hope you've got plenty of indoor activities planned for the day. Or don't mind getting a little wet if you don't. ]

[ So what are your plans, Thusia? ]

[Sighs and curls up next to]

I'd hate to inconvenience you...

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

Such a lie.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

... You think so poorly of me. I'm not that vindictive.

You have to do something to earn it first.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

My face still remembers an argument to that.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

You used me as a shield.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

Against glitter. Yes.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that's not a valid enough reason.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

Had it actually been an attack of grievous intent, you would actually be angry had I NOT taken cover, particularly in a means where you had the optimal chance of defense.

That's rather mixed messages there.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

... It was a ball of glittery water. I know the difference and so do you.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

Well yes.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

So the argument doesn't really hold up very well.

You could just apologize.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

...

For which, the glitter or hiding behind you?

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

The latter. I'm not foolish enough to expect the former.

... On second thought just forget it, it won't mean anything if it's upon request.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

I prefer saving them for when they're important anyway.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

... Ptou. You apologize when you inconvenience or upset others. That's kind of important.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

...

...... [Starts to say something a couple of times.

And settles with a vaguely look of consternation.]

That seems a bit trivial.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

[Surprisingly patiently]

Other people's emotions are trivial?

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

Well, no. That's not what I was getting at, at all.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

So how is expressing regret for causing those negative emotions trivial?

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

[He actually stares at the ceiling a moment, fishing for HOW exactly he thinks about it.]

It trivializes the word. If it can be used casually, passingly, for things like annoyance and frustration, what worth does it have for despair and devastation?

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

In my experience? Words are entirely inadequate for things like despair and devastation. Reserving them for those situations exclusively seems pretty foolish.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

Perhaps not... but I can save my contrition.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

... If you're so hung up on the linguistic portion of it, then you can easily apologize through actions. For example, offering to do my laundry for once, given that you're responsible for the extra work I'm going to have to do as a result of your actions. It shows that you're capable of seeing beyond your own self-interest for even ten minutes.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[over_the_fop]

...

I could do that.

Re: [AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR EXPLOSIONS]

[overclocking]

[He... actually just blinks at you, taken aback.

That is clearly not the answer he was anticipating]
