VII - What about everything [audio]

[istoppedtime]

[The feed clicks on as Jotaro starts to say something, but is cut off by a coughing fit. Ugh. That does not sound very nice. Next time don't spend an event week smoking when you actually quit over a decade ago.

He doesn't quite have his breath back by the time he does talk, a cold, flat two words.]

Stop apologizing.

[That will be all, ladies

Comments

The complaining afterward is often worse than the event itself.

Back to normal, I'm guessing?

[istoppedtime]

Looks like. It was... interesting.

[law_of_reason]

Interesting isn't a bad thing.

[istoppedtime]

Didn't say it was bad.

... don't think it can be... qualified like that.

[swordsinside]

No harm in it.

[video]

[istoppedtime]

It's noise.

[Yeah someone's not in the best mood.]

[video]

[swordsinside]

People talk, idiot. Get used to it.

[That... makes two of them.]

[video]

[istoppedtime]

Tch. People.

[Voice]

[showchoirstar]

-- no.

[But it's not... quite as defiant as it normally would be. In fact, her voice sounds kind of muffled.]

I'll apologize to whoever needs to be apologized to.

[Voice]

[istoppedtime]

No one needs to be apologized to.

[Loud and clear. It's almost his academic lecturing tone.]

[bunny_flower]

This is a necessary step for some, Joutarou-san.

[istoppedtime]

Not if they take a moment to use their fucking heads about it.

[Why, yes, he just snapped at her. He's in a very odd place right now.]

[bunny_flower]

Feelings have to come out one way or another. If it is apologies, then so be it.

Are you still planning to take me somewhere nice?

[istoppedtime]

...

[Oh crap. That.]

... I won't be good company.

[mere_shopkeeper]

Ah, I'm sorry, Jotaro-san...

[istoppedtime]

... you ever shut up?

[mere_shopkeeper]

Sometimes~! I do apologize if it bothers you~

[istoppedtime]

So. This your coping mechanism or something?
