Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

[up to you cuz my timeline is wacky due to sick now!!]

Everything! C'mon, does he know that you actually LIKE him now?

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

[after then for fun truth effect]

No. I haven't mentioned it again.

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

[SCOOTS CLOSER TO HIM]

Augh, Duality! What are you waiting for? He's HURTING. This is your chance!

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

[gives him an odd look]

He's hurting?

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

[grabbing his hands!!]

Weeeell, I promised I wouldn't meddle, so I can't say too much! But think about it--Mori-chan's only returned recently, right? Friends have come and gone, he's got to get used to a whole bunch of new faces. Not only that, a classmate of yours has arrived, and I'm sure that's been a whole thing for you guys.

And, well, I think Mori-chan is lonely. It was a long time ago, but did you know, he used to have a crush on B?

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

You do know talks to me too? I'm not oblivious, C. You make it sound like I don't know anything.

[he frowns]

He's talked to Hardcore, and their relationship isn't really my business, but I think it's better than it was.

[... he just nods at that last part, he figured that was a thing]

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

Obviously. You guys are like besties, right? But that doesn't mean he's telling you everything. I don't tell Silver everything, after all!

[a grin, leaning back]

Anyway, that was a long time ago! I think poor Mori-chan is closing off his heart. A first crush stomped into dust, and then he was whisked away to who knows where in hell! What if he gets taken again? He might not think he can get close to anyone. . .

So you gotta break him outta it.

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

...

[you basically want me to take advantage of his emotional vulnerability while threatening that if I don't, everything is ruined?]

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

[WELL WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY]

[YES]


Hm? You look concerned.

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

... he's my friend, above anything else. He doesn't need my ... ... this... on top of everything else when he's not okay.

You make it sound like I'll ruin everything if I don't take advantage of it.

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

. . .

Heeeeey, Duality.

Do you think you'll ruin what you have? If you were truthful?

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

[he looks away]

I've never considered these feelings before, and if they're not actually more than just infatuation, I'll hurt him further.

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

And how do you know if it's merely infatuation if you're not even confident enough to explore it?

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

[it's new and he's apprehensive, okay!]

... I am going to tell him. Just...

[he doesn't know when]

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

Ahaha. . .that's a shame. Well, you can't rush these things.

But let me give you some advice! Or maybe you already know it about Mori-chan.

Re: [at some point!!]

[asonoficeandfire]

[he just sighs]

What?

Re: [at some point!!]

[neigh_sayer]

Weeeeell, just coming from someone who may or may not have made out with him a few times--totally 100% platonically, because we're Friends who love acting and also it was before Silver and I were an item--. . .actions speak much louder than words for Mori-chan.


And for someone so blunt, you're pretty soft spoken.

[asonoficeandfire]

. . .

You're telling me to kiss him unprompted.

[because that will surely go over well and also he's never kissed anyone before but the thought is suddenly embarrassing??]

And that's different. I didn't think he would come back.

[neigh_sayer]

I didn't say that exaaaactly! Everything has a prompt. I tried to get Mori-chan to get you to do a Vid together, but now I'm thinking that's not going to work for you guys. . .

So, I'm putting myself in your shoes. What would a hero do?

[asonoficeandfire]

Do a what?

[he never uses the video room. and he was going to say that heroes doesn't meddle but that isn't true, bc Mori did exactly that to Duality in his memories]

[neigh_sayer]

A vid! In the video room. You can manipulate ti to create any scene that you want. But that's not your--oooooh.

[IDEA. claps his hands]

Neeheehee! I was gonna say you guys should do your hero thing, and have a sparring match. You like that, right? But this is even better! In the video room, you can create the perfect scene for your match! Even the very arena where you had your big encounter.

[asonoficeandfire]

Why would I recreate that...? We don't need the arena to spar.

[neigh_sayer]

[REACHES OVER TO SMOOSH HIS CHEEKS]

I'm giving you a starting point! Mood means a lot, y'know?

[asonoficeandfire]

. . . do you even know what my mood was during that fight? I wanted to set him on fire.

[neigh_sayer]

Yeah, I could kind of tell with the whole everything exploding and half of Mori-chan's bones breaking and stuff. [CHEEK PULL]

But things are different now! In that room, you could create your ideal space for the two of you. Whether that's a dumb infinite fighting ring so you can spar, or just replicating a school or whatever, you can do that.
