Who: EVERYONE!
When: Day 19, Late Afternoon
Where: All the Apartments. All of them.
What: Becca's bringing around flower arrangements!

[Please put your apartment letter in the subject line and reply to that thread if someone's already answered the door for your apartment. Thanks!]

[Becca's making trips to all the apartments. Since people are in and out of the shrine room, she knocks on one of the bedroom doors in apartment A. Otherwise, she knocks on the hallway door of every apartment. Even apartment E.]

Housekeeping! This'll be quick~!

Scowl, I acknowledged your point and asked her not to spread rumors. How much further was I supposed to go to appease you?

[pencilpremonition]

He's mean to everybody and then wonders why everybody says he's mean. It's not worth it, Kidale. If he keeps acting like that, it'll be more than me saying he's mean and unreasonable, and I've given him plenty of chances to be nice.

[hydralize]

[. . . turns back to them, still ignoring Becca]

You could have not acted like I was wrong for getting mad about what she did. When is it okay for someone to get mad? Should I have waited until people wouldn't deal with us over it? Until someone decided to treat me like shit because of it? Maybe until they decided I had to be the liar and took a swing at me?

I did it right. I didn't touch her. I even stopped arguing with her to come talk to you instead because I know I've got a fucking temper, so tell me. Where in that did I act badly? I did better. Than. Before. And you made out like I haven't been trying at all.

[derpfarmer]

How am I supposed to know what either of you did or didn't do when I wasn't around?

[hydralize]

Didn't I . . .

[hydralize]

. . . Well! That's why!!

[pencilpremonition]

Why don't we both explain our sides of what happened to him so he can make a decision?

[derpfarmer]

I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be deciding anymore.

[hydralize]

I just wanted to know if you remembered whether I said maybe or not so she'd finally shut up about it and leave me alone. [glancing at Becca] Anyway, he already said you shouldn't be talking shit about that over us, so I don't know what you think he's got to decide either.

You were wrong. Even your boyfriend thinks so.

[pencilpremonition]

Fine, I won't talk shit about you. But stop being mean to me. You're wrong, too, and you don't get to pick on me just cause you feel like being an asshole. That's what makes you mean, and if you act mean, people will say you're mean.

[derpfarmer]

[kneading his forehead]

All right, maybe we really should leave it at this.

[hydralize]

You should work on teaching her the difference between "mean" and "dangerous and crazy." . . . I got just one more thing to say to her.

[glances at Becca again though] This is the last time I'm gonna bother saying this to you. I don't like you, and I don't fucking have to like you. I don't have to be nice to people I don't like either. But don't you forget that I've said plenty of times, let's just leave each other alone. If you keep coming up to me when you know goddamn well I don't like you, then it's your own fault.

And for the record, I'm not gonna take any quests that mean I have to deal with every apartment, because that's how much I don't fucking want to deal with some people and I can make a fucking choice about what jobs I agree to do for those guys. I'm trying not to deal with you. You need to give up trying to force me into fake nice bullshit and try to do the same.

[pencilpremonition]

I'm nice to people I don't like all the time. I was even nice to you until you started this whole mess. Because it's the right and mature thing to do. And I guess if you're saying you don't have the balls to man up and be decent to people if they hurt your poor little fee-fees then I don't have a choice but to ignore you.

But unlike you, I don't have a choice about the kind of quests I take on. I can't go kill shit to bring back if I don't like the choice of assignment. So if I have to deliver something to your apartment again and you're in such a hurry to 'not deal with' me, open the door, take it and close it again. And then I'll leave and you won't even have to talk to me.

[derpfarmer]

[This seems like a good time to go back to bed...]

[hydralize]

Holy shit, I'm a person who's not like you. I've got plenty of balls in not caving in to exactly what you want. I know the kind of person I am, and I'm not gonna change that much because some self-righteous bitch wants to force me to play nice with her.

You can ask them for quests that don't send you to every apartment even if you can't go out and fight. There's more shit to do than that, idiot. You just haven't tried asking yet.

Come around again and Excel gets to deal with you because fuck if I'm going to anymore.

[LEAVING :Db]

1/2

[pencilpremonition]

[Shouting after him:] Then you can tell her she's not welcome at ours again, either, even if it's to clean the fucking toilet!

[pencilpremonition]

[I'm following Kidale back to bed.]

[hydralize]

[ONE FINAL SHOUT BACK] She'll be fucking relieved!

[derpfarmer]

[So it's way too late in the day for him to sleep anymore but he's sure curling up and giving it his best shot.]

[pencilpremonition]

[She sits down on the bed beside him and kicks her shoes off.]

I'm sorry, Kidale.

...Thanks for defending me.

[derpfarmer]

[Making a non-committal noise.]

You'll do it, right? Stop spreading rumors about that apartment?

[pencilpremonition]

I didn't say anything that wasn't true.

But yeah.

[derpfarmer]

But Note and Zel have been good to us.

[pencilpremonition]

...Yeah. I forget Note lives there.

[derpfarmer]

And Zel's willing to teach me things.
