[ He knows what you're implying. Have a scowl. ]

You're lucky you didn't meet me when I first arrived in the City.

[ His first post began with him raving Sayaaaaa into the night. Like Marlon fucking Brando. ]

[ Yes. Really. ]

[Not even implying. Setsuna's going straight for it.]

Aw, but it's so cute. I would've loved knowing you then, smitten as you are.

[worldofourown]

[ They have so much in common. Especially where the utter lack of subtle is concerned. ]

Be quiet.

[ DIVA MIGHT HEAR B( ]

[beyourarmy]

[Karl...you're gonna have to face it someday, that includes letting Diva know.]

Why? You can't tell me you're ashamed of what you feel. That's just dumb.

[worldofourown]

Oh spare me the sermon on feelings.

[ He'll stick to his delusions and his denial, tyvm. ]

video;

[beyourarmy]

You only dislike it because you're scared of your feelings, or something. They're not gonna bite you, Karl. That's your job.

[worldofourown]

[ Ew Sets stop you're being gross right now. ]

Don't you have kittens to save from up trees? Puppies to pet?

video;

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, but chiropterans to torment was first on my list. [See how special you are, Karl?]

video;

[worldofourown]

[ He doesn't feel special at all B| ]

Oh, go pester your precious Kira-sempai or something.

video;

[beyourarmy]

He gets pestered plenty. I'm sure he doesn't mind if I'm bugging someone else for a change.

Besides, you can't ever have anything definite until you face all of this, Karl. Or are you okay being on the sidelines again and just watching, and acting like an ass to whoever else comes along? That's gonna solve everything for you?

[ His tone drips sarcasm, ]

When did you become a licensed therapist, Set-chan?

video;

[beyourarmy]

Therapist? Pfft!

You'd probably kill yours, wouldn't you?

video;

[worldofourown]

Kill mine? Please.

I'd get him to kill himself.

video;

[beyourarmy]

You're that good?

Kinda scary.

Surprised, though. Wouldn't you want the satisfaction? Or is there some appeal in knowing you made someone off themselves?

video;

[worldofourown]

Just that crazy.

There's an immense appeal in bringing some pompous twit to my supposed level. Reminding him that the brain isn't as simple as his textbooks and his doctorate lead him to believe.

video;

[beyourarmy]

That's just sick, but I already knew you were twisted.

Are they really all pompous?

video;

[worldofourown]

Why else would they be in so invasive a profession? To help others?

Hardly.

video;

[beyourarmy]

Really...? That's terrible, though.

I think you're just paranoid. I refuse to believe all of 'em are like that.

video;

[worldofourown]

[ Cue eyeroll. ]

Yes, of course you would. Oozing goodwill as you are.

video;

[beyourarmy]

I don't ooze goodwill. That's just bizarre. You make me sound like some wannabe saint.

video;

[worldofourown]

I don't have to make it sound like anything, Me~ssi~ah. I know what you are.

video;

[beyourarmy]

And, other than a freak, what am I?

video;

[worldofourown]

[ A snort, ]

If you're one freak, then I'm another.

But really, all you are is clueless boy desperate to love and be loved. [ It might sound poetic, if his tone weren't so bleak. ]

[ He was like that too, once. ]

video;

[beyourarmy]

I never said you weren't a freak. But I've got wings, and heal, too. I'm definitely one.

[A light chuckle.] I'm not that desperate. But there's nothing wrong with it, you know.

video;

[worldofourown]

It's a City of freaks. You'll survive.

[ His gaze dims. ]

It is when you don't get anything out of it. It just eats you alive from inside out. Leaves you as something less than whole.
