It is not, no.

Please tell me this call was meant for someone else?

[tarotcards]

It was. I was trying to call a friend of mine outside of the city but it looks like it got redirected to you instead.

Which is all right. I can just talk about Kandam in depth with you, professor.

[originallutece]

We've reached the end of my opinions on it, I'm afraid. You might want to try someone else on here; I'm simply a secondhand viewer.

[tarotcards]

That's a shame...

Then can I talk to you about something else on my mind?

[originallutece]

Of course.

[Her tone changes, going from distantly amused to something more focused.]

[tarotcards]

Well, I just offered to be someone's daddy and they rejected me. My feelings are hurt.

[ was she expecting something serious? because nah. this is all said in a deadpan voice too btw ]

1/2

[originallutece]

[EXCUSE HER WHILE SHE CHOKES ON HER TEA . . .]

[originallutece]

Souji . . .

[A deep breath.]

You know I've grown very fond of both you and your brother, and I always encourage you to seek me out whenever you wish to speak, whether it be on serious matters or more mundane ones. I quite enjoy your wit and witticism, and it's my honor to help guide you as you go through life.

However.

I do not want to hear about that. I do not want to know about that. I could have happily lived my life without ever hearing you utter the words "I offered to be someone's daddy", and yet here we are.

[tarotcards]

But my feelings are hurt.

[ he repeats like this is actually important (also he's silently losing his shit, thank god that he knows how to keep a straight face/voice during all this) ]

Besides, he called me dad first so I only offered. It's not as bad as you think it is.

[originallutece]

No-oo, I'm fairly certain it's precisely as terrible as I imagine it is.

[Because there is literally no version of this where it isn't terrible.]

Find someone else to be your . . . I'm not even going to say the term.

[tarotcards]

My what, professor?

[ he wants to hear her say it, okay. he's being a lil shit ]

[originallutece]

Dare I ask who this other boy is?

[NOT EVEN GONNA TOUCH THAT.]

[tarotcards]

His name's Daisuke. I think he goes to Recolle High School.

[originallutece]

That's a bit of an age gap.

[you fucking hypocrite you're dating a man nine years younger than you. she's also actually under the impression souji's older than he, in fact, is, so i guess this thread is rosalind just being WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING EVER]

Or rather: a maturity gap. High school and college are vastly different, but I suppose you know yourself best.

[tarotcards]

I do but can I admit something else to you, professor?

[ does ros even want to hear it ]

[originallutece]

Go on.

[tarotcards]

I was just joking about the whole daddy thing.

[ haha did he get her ]

[originallutece]

[Haha she just








hangs up on him]
