Twenty-seventh Trick: FML

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

[ right outside her hut, there is a girl. A girl who is gingerly lifting up her shirt a bit to check out-- bandages. The girl does not look happy. In fact, the girl looks miserable. ]

Is it just me or are all the new people we're getting having problems with making a normal entrance? I mean, first the grass-lover breaking the roof, then the guy shooting me-- if anyone else shows up, I'll say hello after they're done leaving destruction in their wake, sound good?

((ooc: yes, she was shot. :( no this not my way of getting my posting in before traveling really))

... Fair enough. Thanks, Sousuke-kun.

It is no trouble. You are my ally; I will see to it that you remain as well-prepared as possible.

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

The word you're looking for is "friend".

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

... friend. Yes, I suppose that is fitting.

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

There you go.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

... though it would be safe to say that you are both an ally and a friend, correct?

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

... I guess so.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Then it is accurate to say we are "friends with benefits".

[ He just looks so proud. Social vernacular isn't so hard after all right--?! ]

[ OH MY GOD JUST KIND OF STARING IN HORROR ]

[ HE'S JUST GONNA STAND HERE, WAITING FOR APPROVAL. HE'S TRYING TO USE SLANG, EMIRI. AREN'T YOU HAPPY. ]

...

Um, Sousuke-kun, that's not... really what you use that for.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

... it isn't?

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

No, saying that is like saying that we're sleeping together-- but if you look at it at the... normal-meaning level, then hell yeah! You did good!

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

... ah, I believe I see what you are saying. It is certainly more beneficial to your friend if you sleep by their side; you will be able to assist them without delay should a situation arise.

Thank you for this clarification; I will do better in the future.

... [ deep breath okay Emiri you can do this ]

When a man and a woman don't love each other very much but get along and decide they want to get naked and do the kind of stuff you read about yourself in the library with no strings attached, just wham bam oh hey want to watch the game--

... Well, it could be a man and a man or a woman and a woman if you want to go that route, but the point is that's what friends with benefits means!

[ BUT THEN I D8| ]

I-I did not mean... we are not... those circumstances are most certainly...!

THAT WAS CERTAINLY NOT MY INTENT!

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

I know, I know, that's why I cleared it up! I got your meaning.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

It seems I was overconfident in my ability to communicate with civilian lingo. I will learn from this mistake.

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

... Maybe we should just find you some kind of slang dictionary.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

Does such a reference exist?

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

In the library, maybe.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

I am hesitant to enter that facility.

[reasontorun.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I won't let the bad books hurt you.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

If I see the novel with the Captain on the cover again, I will find some means to destroy the building in its entirety.

Very well.
