looks like it, huh?

[slavophile]

I don't get it. Should I kick his ass? I kind of can now.

[evocation]

no
he doesn't want to talk to me
that's it

[She doesn't want William... what? Trying to force Ian to care? How could he even help in this situation?]

[slavophile]

It's a little late for that. We're out of high school and he's not taking me to tacos if he's going to ghost you like an asshole.

( William's ghosted before. But, for business. Actual business. Ian could've been busy. Could've locked himself in a lab and only emerged to drink and eat tacos. But, William's not going to be that person. To be roped into something social because Ian is on the outs deliberately with Kyna. )

[evocation]

what's your plan?
are you going to try to make him hang out with me or something?
maybe he just likes hanging out with you better

[Because, in Kyna's head, that's generally how this goes. She doesn't think of herself as an easy person to be friends with.]

[slavophile]

I'm confronting him. But, like an asshole would. Because he's being an asshole. I like the guy, yeah, but not if he's going to treat you like this. Unless you two had a fight before or after the earthquake?

Which I should've asked before I went on my own personal crusade. I'm leaning toward no fight.

[evocation]

dude
you can't do shit about this
and i don't need you "confronting" him like we're five years old and you're the teacher trying to get us to play together

[slavophile]

I'm not forcing him to talk to you, I'm pointing out that even saying, 'Hey, I need some time,' is more mature then, 'So busy.'

[evocation]

cool
so you're doing it even though i don't want you to

[slavophile]

Only because I already did it. But, I can quickly undo it. Or, just not answer him back.

I may have overstepped.

[evocation]

you did it while i was still talking to you?
are you serious?

[slavophile]

The neural interface is just like a second monitor. I've ran five messages at the same time and a thirty person E-mail chain. It's a sickness. Look, I'll fix it. Obviously, this is all me. I just don't like him doing this to you. And, I should've just listened and not done anything and I know that.

Shit, Kyna. I'm sorry.

[evocation]

wow, neat
good to know you can be efficient while you're being self-righteous

[slavophile]

It's one of many fatal flaws.

[evocation]

yeah? well as far as i'm concerned you can both go fuck yourselves

[slavophile]

I deserve that. Look, I'm here, for what it's worth. And I know it's not worth much right now.

[evocation]

dude
we just met
i asked you one question and you decided to totally fucking ignore what i wanted and make it about yourself
why the fuck would i talk to you about anything?

[slavophile]

Yeah.
