Hard not to eat one or two of the candies even knowing what they do. Think I'm lucky so far that no one has called me out on anything they've seen. So I guess I'm not gonna be calling the person I saw... felt... out. Just gonna say one thing.

[There's a pause here, Derek weighing his words carefully.] I know it can sometimes feel like you are. I've felt it. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have. But you're not alone.



ooc: Backdated to yesterday!

Literally or spiritually?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Both, I guess. But I think in this instance I'm going with literally.

[cry_reaper]

Are you alright, Derek?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. Just ate one of those candies. Probably should have known better. Said the word 'alone' on it.

[anunluckypenny]

You sound pretty down. I mean, I completely get it... these heart candies aren't exactly happy.

[signatures]

Well, I suppose that's fair enough.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

It can get lonely sometimes. With people coming and going so often.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

It's been a rough few months. But I guess I'm more empathetic than down right now. Some of the heart candies are easy to relate to. [He'd only eaten one, but still.]

[anunluckypenny]

They are, yeah. I mean, one of the two I accidentally ate was. The other one was just nightmare-inducing.

[cry_reaper]

I'm certain that there are many that feel alone here.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Pretty girls shouldn't have nightmares. Are you alright, Penny?




ooc: I am so sorry about this slow thread. I got sick and haven't really been online all last week into the weekend. I'll understand if you want to drop it. ♥

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Oh yeah. Probably pretty common with being ripped away from everything familiar.

[anunluckypenny]

That's sweet of you to say, but it's all good. I'm fine. Oh--and I'm sorry about that one curse with the flirting and the everything; I'm not usually like that. I don't think I apologized yet, did I?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Always fine, huh? Yeah. Me too. And nothing to be sorry for. Besides, I think there was flirting on both ends... should I apologize? Honestly, I thought it was nice.

[anunluckypenny]

No one's fine all the time.

...Nah, don't apologize. As long as you didn't mind and the flirting was mutual--I mean, I know I didn't mind.


[ooc: I NEVER remember ooc notes, sorry! I hope you're doing better, and I'm always good for backdating as long as you like. ^^]

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

They can try to be though. Some people put on a good act.

Listen, red. I think it'd be nice to... spend more time together. As friends, we could... go get some coffee or something. Sometime. [Usually he was much smoother than this but it's been a rough few months, okay?]

[anunluckypenny]

[She gets the feeling that Derek might be talking abut her. Huh.]

Sometimes a good act is almost as good as the real thing, right?

[beat] Really? That'd be--if you want, I mean, that'd be great. I'm all for coffee.

[signatures]

There's no real way to predict that sort of thing, unfortunately.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[Oh, he just might be!]

I think so, long as you have an outlet of some kind. Like me, I work out. I've got Judo that I occasionally have a partner for. You have something?

[His smile is audible in the tone of his voice.] Yeah, coffee is good. I want coffee.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Yeah, best to just keep busy. Easier to ignore it all.

[anunluckypenny]

Judo... that's the one where you throw people, isn't it? I don't have anything like that, but I stay busy. Volunteering, things like that. Sometimes at home I'd break out my violin when I was feeling really down.

Then coffee it is! My schedule's wide open, so I'm good for it when you are.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Throwing is part of it, yeah... if you need to recover from something and get the upper hand. It's all about strategy. Music is a good outlet. You have a violin here?

Well would you rather a caffeine high during the day or in the evening?

[anunluckypenny]

Are there classes? That sounds like it'd be a good stress reliever. And no, no violin. Maybe someday.

During the day, probably, if that works for you?

[signatures]

Have you endured many losses?

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Yeah. And I know better, about getting close to people. How about you?
