Whomever tied my shoelaces into a knot this morning, it was not appreciated. Kindly do not enter my room without permission again.

[Pen taps]

Rogue, are you about?

[Slight pause]

Is everyone else [very small pause] alright?

Do you really want me to write the truth?

[spandexisyouth]

[The pen rests here for a full minute before he decides to behave and not say YES.]

words. Oh I was supposed to ask you something Youth.

[spandexisyouth]

You can tell who I am by my pen?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Who else would pause?

[spandexisyouth]

Oh.

What did you need to ask me?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

If I can play the game with you.

[spandexisyouth]

What game do you want to play?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Games of truth and secrets. I know there are players and I want to play. Easier as a group than alone, I'll always stand out on my own.

He's trying so very, very hard to be sneaky.

[spandexisyouth]

Why do you think that I am a player?

If I was, I would worry about you getting hurt. And I would take a walk at my former place of work to clear my mind.

And he's doing good! For YOUTH jfc I cannot manage names tonight.

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Because no one is very good at keeping secrets from me.

Okay.

And now it makes sense.

[spandexisyouth]

I am starting to see that.

I walk in the afternoons since I run in the mornings and 'proceed' in the evenings.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Proceed? Is that what they're calling it these days?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I just watch people but I will try to be better and say 'hello'.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Better not. Truth isn't very safe on the journals, you know.

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Truth is never safe but isn't very good at hiding.

Neither are you for a ninja.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You have exceptional eyes, Qǐ. So just be careful how close you look.

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

You say that like I CAN BE CAREFUL.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Have Genius teach you how to pretend caution.

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

He's awful at it.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

But I think he would enjoy teaching you.

wow you've totally floored her WAY TO GO.

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

[ . . . ]

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

No.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You sure? Not even as a favor to him?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Positive.
