Yeah I get you now. Smh Mako... What was the context of that even supposed to be?

Ewww I want horses back :(

Omg I remember that! I can't believe I thought it was totally normal to be, what, 3 inches tall? So weird when I think about it... I'll never understand why this stuff happens.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ what... the hell...

his eyes flick up to check the name and immediately regrets everything ]

okay first of all i'm offended you think i would ever use a line that bad

secondly she probably doesn't have it in her to ask anyone out

lastly this wasn't meant for you so just
forget i said anything

[ HE DOESN'T WANT DATING ADVICE FROM YOU ]

[darkinferno]

Hey.

[There's no hesitation as he steps inside, taking a look around Terra's place. It's well-lived in, that's for sure, and there's a lot to pick out about Terra based on what he can see. Cluttered desk, a lot of books, an impressive alcohol stash... Dante takes specific note of those whiteboards, though. It's not something he wants to bring up the moment he's gotten through the door, but it looks like Terra's had a few more memories than just the Keyblade. Maybe the two of them can compare notes and work a little more out.

But for now, his attention's on the other guy.]

Yeah. It seems strange that we haven't met before this. It's been what, four months? You'd have thought we'd get the idea a lot faster than that.

[windeity]

more like usually i am on the other end of this, so i am always going to be suspicious of anything that has the word" bad" in its title.

[darkinferno]

what do you mean, piggyback off you?

think about everything we've seen so far. what do you have access to that they don't?

[The failing of text: Dante isn't sure whether Togusa's being sarcastic here or not.]

[standalonehuman]

It's really just another connection to the net. So, sure it could be hacked like any other connection but there's no data on my end for Retrospec to try to access, right? You can see what I'm seeing; Retrospec can already do that.

[darkinferno]

you know i don't make any claims to be a chef but i'm pretty sure setting your kitchen on fire is the opposite of great

maybe consider calling 911 instead of texting me

[darkinferno]

[James won't know it, but Dante's snorting on his end. Understatement of the century.]

togusa's a stick in the mud

no that's not fair, he means well but he needs to realize he can't make our decisions for us, i've told him that

don't worry, i'm pretty sure i could tell them i was blowing up the retrospec building and their only question would be where i'm getting the bazooka to do it

[darkinferno]

that's about the size of it, that's all any of us can do

good luck

[darkinferno]

you'd have to catch me first

think you can do that?

[erythristic]

[she nods slowly, thinking about it. how her own dreams felt lost in the underground from time to time - it happened.]

The obvious and most difficult solution is to talk about it, to get some of it out of festering in your mind unchecked. But if that's not possible, then some things do work - physical activity to tire yourself out, sleeping in a different location like your couch sometimes works, leaving music on or the the like as a sort of subconscious distraction. Using any sort of chemical substance for sleep is a last resort, not advised until the condition cannot be solved by any other means because of the risk of dependency. That includes drinking.

[darkinferno]

who knows? maybe we'll see horses again sometime

maybe they'll come back like blue and green are

but i don't think ANY of us understand why all this is going on, even if retrospec knows they aren't telling us

personally i'm getting tired of always being in the dark

[darkinferno]

look leo let's face it, sometimes your mouth works before your brain does

i didn't ask if she WOULD ask you out, just how you'd want to her to, go with me on this for a moment

even if it wasn't meant for me i've got enough experience with doing it to answer

[HAIRFLIP]

[originallutece]

[DAMN IT]

I'm not going to throw it out in the cold. I'm strict, not sadistic.

[darkinferno]

fine, fine, you caught me, don't look that up

i found something better on amazon anyways

[darkinferno]

[Dante at least has the grace to look abashed, even if she's not directly calling him out for mixing alcohol and medicine.]

If I couldn't fall asleep after that last fight, I don't think any amount of physical activity's going to help. I should've crashed as soon as I made it in the door. But I was still texting Prompto around 8:30 this morning because I... couldn't sleep.

It's... it's harder once the sun goes down.

[darkinferno]

[GOTCHA]

so what i'm hearing is that you're keeping it

it's not THAT cold outside after all

[ladytakamaki]

I heard that someone broke into the Retrospec building.
How'd that go?

[sharplydressed]

not if you're still out there spidering around on all the buildings

[frostythehitman]

Yeah? How'd you manage to get on a leash that loose?

[complementing]

thank you



I don't mean to bring up bad memories, but I was kind of surprised at your reaction to Arlene's dare at the party earlier this month

I didn't realize it was that bad

so

while Sora might have a problem with you

still, you take care too

[thisloveisjustice]

[so many interesting pieces of information he's gleaning from this conversation]

but then you got the app and she didn't?

[windeity]

seriously?
we just went over this, dante.
you do not pull something like this on someone while they are still on guard, duh.

Backdate to 9/17 so late at night it might as well be 9/18

[standalonehuman]

Are you okay?

I heard about training.

[darkinferno]

you heard about that fast

i'm all right, souji offered to heal me a bit and i've got pain meds for the rest
