lost - entry #3

[winterobsession]

I appear to have...gotten lost??
Crackbaby: THIS SUCKS!

And all these people...It's...
Crackbaby: FREAKING ME OUT! @~@
a little overwhelming...

-sighs-

My apologies, Demyx, Lexaeus, and Miss Namine.
I may be some time...

Aw! Don’t cry Mr. Scientist man! I’m sure someone will actually take pity on you after awhile and point you in the right direction. Or, you know, you could just ask someone. But that might be too much for ya, hmm? Do you have any idea where you are?

You shouldn’t be gone too long. You’re friend the stool might get worried. -giggles-

[machinalove]

Like I said, weird.

That’s obviously because you haven’t tried it. Buy a chocolate bar in Kalm, I dare you. You’ll see why everyone loves it so much. You can… think of it as an experiment! Yeah! Disprove Rikku’s theory or something!

Whatever. I still don’t believe you, but if you’re gonna be so insistent…
That’s a little harsh, isn’t it? I mean, what could letting one person into a room do? What if they thought you’re experiments were cool or something. And wanted to see. What then?
‘Scientific query’ my ass! Who is she? Is she pretty? Oooh! I bet it’s that ‘Miss Namine’ girl isn’t it!

[winterobsession]

*sighs* I give up. I'm...'weird.'

As an experiment, you say? Hmm...I...I may just do that...Just to keep me busy! Not to try and ridiculous...candy...

Well, I suppose..well..no one's..er, no one's ever thought they were 'cool' before. No one's ever wanted to see them...so I never worried about it before...The lab is most of the house, expansive, mind you...I think..that would freak people out?

Why-!? You are so frustrating! Th-there isn't any girl! It was to get you off my back about Baralai more than anything...Besides, Miss Namine is only 16 years old! That's highly unappropiate, wouldn't you think??

[machinalove]

That took you long enough.

And then you’ll realize how absolutely wonderful it is and forever be indebted to me for suggesting it. Just wait.

Well now that you’ve left the house to travel the big world, you -should- start thinking ahead! You’re bound to run into some science nerd somewhere who’ll idolize all the work you’ve done, and want to see it all. Maybe you’ll be famous? You never know, people are strange sometimes.

You better not be trying to say something about sixteen year olds, Vexen! I’ll have you know that some of us are a bit more mature then you give us credit for! …And anyway, it depends on how old -you- are before we can deem something ‘highly inappropriate’. Apparently love comes in many forms. You and Namine may yet have a chance!

[winterobsession]

Hmph.

We'll see...but I highly doubt it's anywhere near as good as that.

I...don't know if I approve of letting random people into my lab..."science nerd"s or not. Maybe I'll think about it, maybe not. >_>

Ah-wait, "some of us"? Then you're....16 as well?? Funny...it seems to fit very well...but before you said something, I might have thought you were older...*sighs* For the last time Rikku, there is nothing between Namine and myself. I have no feelings for the girl other than wishing to assist her in helping the people of Twilight Town...if I can ever get there..
And my age isn't of importance. I think you've already gotten far too carried away with the information I *have* given you...

[machinalove]

Now you’re going to be all mad?

You’ll be eating your words soon, Vexen. Chocolate will prevail!

I still think you should.

Yep! I’m 16 all right! And like I said, some of us act more mature then you might think! Life can do that to people, I guess.
So you don’t like Namine like that at -all-? Shoot! I’m running out of things to tease you about then! You’re no fun, you know.
So you aren’t going to tell me??? But! But I was only giving you a hard time! How can we be friends if you won’t even tell me how old you are? Vexen!

[winterobsession]

...No.

I'm sure it will. -is making notes in notebook-

Really?
Well what kind of life did you lead then?
To make you sound older than?
Hm. -grin- I'll give you a hint.
I'm no younger than 20 and no older than 28.

[machinalove]

Well then don’t act like it!

Ah, um, me? Nothing really out of the ordinary. I just, um, moved out when I was 13. Little village to a big city kind of thing. It makes you grow up a bit. Yeah, that’s it.

You’re going to make me guess!!! -I- told you how old I was right away! Meanie!

…24?

((ooc: Rikku’s weird about her parents death, sorry.))

[winterobsession]

Well...that's unfortunate, Rikku...I'm...sorry to hear it?

-ahem- Well, actually.

Oh. I. I guess you go it right away. Hm. Well. Maybe there's something to luck after all..

[machinalove]

Don’t be! It’s been an adventure. All of it. And, and I don’t think I would have it any other way, if I could go back and change things. I try and live without regrets. Memories are nice, but that’s all they are, right? I’m having fun living my life day to day here... And that was really long, heh.

I did?!?! Really? Ye~ah! Next time, don’t make it so the number is dead in the middle of the two hints, silly. I thought you were supposed to be all logical and everything. Isn’t that the logical pick?

…24 huh? Well, you act older too.

[winterobsession]

Well if you have no regrets, that's better for you than.
Hmm...memories...

I-well...I suppose it would be. -_-; I was never much for guessing games...unless they're the kind of guesses you can experiment on and pick apart individually. >_>

Older than 24? I'm almost afraid to ask...
How old is it I act?

[machinalove]

If you don’t like guessing games then why did you make me try and guess? You’re confusing, Vexen, very confusing.

You seem… older. I don’t know! Just not 24. Maybe… *thinks* Maybe in your early thirties?
