pity party, anybody?

[kickthecanplz]

[Kasanoda's life has... pretty much sucked always lately. If those watching him may recall, last week he went through rapid de-aging (and recalls none of it) and woke up with a stranger looming over his bed (thanks, Kenshin)  and now he's pretty much been told, to his face, that the girl he has a crush on prefers his much stupider friend.

Dictated. (Treating reactive depression with a depressant always works. Yes sir.)

Something the matter?

Dictated. (this is clearly going to end well for everyone involved)

[kickthecanplz]

What's it to you.

[he sounds bitter, but not entirely angry.]

Dictated.

[is0latedthinker]

Just trying to help. [He raised a boy who sometimes felt down or outcast, as his father had disappeared, leaving big shoes to fill. His tone is one of parental concern.]

... It's nobody's problem but my own.

Dictated.

[is0latedthinker]

[He's heard that response many times before.]

That doesn't mean others can't help. Take some weight off your shoulders.

It's a bunch of stupid crap. And anytime I talk about - anytime I even think about it - I feel like stupid crap.

Dictated.

[is0latedthinker]

Well, it must not be stupid to you. [Otherwise he wouldn't be bothered by it.]

Dictated.

[kickthecanplz]

... I'll get over it. I have to.

Dictated.

[He sighs, thinking of Sam never getting over Flynn's disappearance. Himself and Roy doing the same. He thinks of Flynn never getting over Jordan's death.]

Maybe.

But you won't come to terms with it if you keep calling it that.

Dictated.

[kickthecanplz]

And what do you know? What do you care? I don't know you!

Dictated.

[is0latedthinker]

[He frowns at his journal at the terse response.]

Just offering a bit of advice.

...A friend and I have each gone through something similar.

Dictated.

[kickthecanplz]

I really, really doubt it.

Dictated.

[is0latedthinker]

[Now he's starting to move from startled to frustrated - who does this kid think he is, Edward Dillinger, Jr.?]

Yeah? Try a continued search for a friend that everyone has believed to be dead for the past twenty years.

Dictated.

[kickthecanplz]

...

...

...

[okay, that's just not fair.]

That's... different.

Dictated.

[is0latedthinker]

Oh?

It was viewed as 'stupid crap' by some. And it was something I couldn't 'get over' by myself.

[It was still debatable whether he was over it or not, before he showed up at the castle. He was still sponsoring Roy's 'Flynn Lives' movement, after all.]

Dictated.

[kickthecanplz]

How... how is searching for a missing person stupid crap?! That's way more important than girl problems!

[well, at least you got that out of him.]
