[Meet-up]
lol so did you go?
I can totally picture you just sitting there, looking like the most awkward turtle ever, not knowing how to interact socially with real people.
He tried not to laugh. This was the guy who was probably sitting at home because he couldn't do what Yuri was doing. There was no way that he was going to admit that he was at the meet-up, though.

LMAO OF COURSE NOT. LIKE I WOULD ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH A BUNCH OF LOSERS.
LET ME GUESS. YOU DIDN'T GO EITHER.

Well, I did go. I saw some of my friends, but they were all people I already knew irl. I didn't feel like talking to people I didn't really know already. You figured out that I'm a guy, but a lot of people on the site don't know anything about me, even that much. It's not that I hide it, it's just that nobody's ever bothered to be like “Hey, are you a guy?”

IF I WERE THERE, WOULD YOU HAVE WANTED TO MEET ME?

Your caps feel so gratuitous sometimes... You aren't mad when you're asking that, are you?
Uh... I guess I wouldn't mind knowing what kind of crazy person you must be irl. You told me what you think I'd look like, so I'll tell you what I think you look like. lol
I imagine that you're about my age (or around 20-ish), you have some kind of crazy hair that's like red or blue or something, and you have piercings. idk just my immediate mental image. Or you're just some regular businessman-type who gets lonely and doesn't have anything to do with himself so he just antagonizes people on the internet. Either image works to me.

The only hint I'll give you is that Я русский.

[Re: Meet-up]
Ahaha, я не знаю, что вы знали русский язык! Go figure, I'm Russian, too. I'm not sure I'd recognize a Russian if I saw one, though! I mean, unless we were speaking it to each other.
(btw, you forgot your caps. It's kewt when you do that.)
When was the last time Yuri laughed out loud? He couldn't even remember, but it was too coincidental to find out that the person he'd been talking to this whole time could have been conversing with him in his mother language. Now he had two languages he could troll _origamically in.
On the other side of the table, Ivan was sharing a similar look of amusement which was an interesting, almost refreshing change from the nervous expression he had on a little while ago. When he noticed Yuri looking, Yuri tried to look away, but the kid decided that he had to talk to him for some reason.
“Read something funny? Are you here for the forum meet-up?”
Talk about déjà vu.
“No,” he denied again. “I just came for the coffee. You? It's a pretty packed house right now. I'm surprised that anyone else would have come here just to sit around.”
Instead of answering his question, Ivan was staring at him very intently, as if he were scrutinizing something about his appearance. “Aren't you... You look familiar.”
“I'm a judge,” he explained. He could give him that much. “You may know me because I happen to already know you.”
“O-Oh...” Ivan hid his face by looking down into his lap. For a minute, he wondered if the boy knew that he was the one who convicted his friend for murder. No matter, at least he wasn't aware of the fact that he was the one he fought just a week ago. That would have really made things more awkward. “Well,” Ivan said, looking like he was trying to brighten up the mood by being friendly. “I guess that proper introductions are in order if we've seen each other before. I'm Ivan.”
“Yuri Petrov,” he returned, shaking the hand that Ivan had timidly raised for him.
When he moved to lean back into his seat, however, Ivan's hand stayed clutching onto his own, refusing to let go.
