11/21 - misfire but with a phone call

[tarotcards]

[ as soon as ros picks up but before she even gets to say anything, souji will rudely start talking ]

Hey, so I just rewatched Kandam 99 and it's honestly kind of amazing how accurate the season two trailer was, like it looked like it was a gag but it really wasn't. Everything was right, even down to the ratings and I think that's pretty amazing.

[originallutece]

[okay, you know what the really hideous thing about this is? She actually has opinions on it. She, a grown woman, highly respected in the field of science, has opinions on this. Admittedly, they're her boyfriend's opinions, but still. There they are, and she kind of hates that this is her life right now.]

That doesn't mean it'll make for a good season.

[tarotcards]

[ oh, this isn't who he wanted to reach. well, that's okay. he can still talk about kandam and it's all good ]

True, but I think season two was pretty solid. The movie was debatable but the way that they incorporated the minor side characters from the first season to the second was pretty well done. My heart really felt for Lucy and Kanji.

[originallutece]

The movie was hideous. We couldn't get through it; I fell asleep in self-defense.

[tarotcards]

That was probably for the best because the ending is a bit questionable like did you know that the main character pretty much became metal? Is that even scientifically possible?

[originallutece]

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 ]

[crudest]

[originallutece]

[Fucking hell . . .]

Tell me that in your first message next time, Baron, I hardly need the panic attack.

Tell me when you're ready to at least step out of the room; I'll come down by the hospital.

[crudest]

[ . . . . panic attack? why? is it because she... cares? admittedly he hadn't been happy when he found out that she was in the hospital either but.

people worrying his well-being is a little...

he's awkward so he's not even going to address it.]
