[....from Umeda's office, where the door is closed for once, comes the sound of Blade Runner.]


((OOC: Everyone and their mother, including Akiha and Io, have dropped in this last little while; Umeda's indulging in his comfort movie. *g* Anyone can feel free to jump this post to catch the movie with him or harass him after it to cheer him up; this post isn't for anyone specific -- I just didn't think I could manage a main-comm post that might hit a few thousand again, but anyone's still free to come and bug Umeda. Got an appointment? Meant to return something to him? Heard about the drops? Come by and say hi.))

Is it secret? Is it safe?

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

I'll kill you to preserve the secret for eighty generations!

[playingdoctor]

So, don't name any names, but what kind of guy do you like?

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Shit. How should I know? I don't go around checking them out or anything!

[playingdoctor]

Well, you've obviously been attracted to some or you'd still be wandering along happily planning a life that'll go normally after you've finished being cool. So what kind's that?

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

. . . . . [scratches at his head, he has no hat though ._.]

I - fuck, I dunno! The - someone who's kind of cool, I guess - who doesn't let anyone stop them, or makes you want to work hard to be better, or just - attacks whatever they want, I dunno I'm taking damage here!

[playingdoctor]

Uho, that's a good kind. You probably got better taste than me.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

I really doubt it.

[playingdoctor]

I like the kind who are really pretty and act real nice, but are total bastards who like to toy with your heart and leave you hanging.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

. . . Who the hell likes that kind of thing? Masochist?!

[playingdoctor]

That's the worst part, I don't mean to! I can't help it, I see through their nice-guy acts and then I get interested in who they are. Once was bad enough, I didn't need to start making a habit of it.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should try getting interested in people who don't have nice-guy acts, at least that's honest.

[playingdoctor]

Well, I sleep with lots of those. But I end up falling in love with morons. Been in love with this one guy since I was your age. He's such a bastard. How's your back feeling?

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Better. Wow, you really have that organized.

[playingdoctor]

Organized? Whatcha mean? Roll over onto your back, I'm gonna get your neck now.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

[rolls] I dunno, all sorted out! Is that really how you plan it? I mean, there aren't any exceptions ever? You're all old and worldly so there's gotta be breaks in the pattern.

[playingdoctor]

Well, I don't really plan it, yanno. I gave up on that guy falling for me, and while my feelings for him haven't changed, there was no point waiting around after a few years. We hang out now and then, or did until I came to camp, but that's it on his side. So, I just hit on people who interested me and if they reciprocate, great. Sometimes it's for a night or two, othertimes they're my lover for a while, but it never seems to work out. I ain't the kind of guy who falls in love a lot, I'm not sappy or mushy or whatever. Other than that... Well, there's people I get close to, but love, that's a big word. Only said it once again recently, che. Though that guy left camp yesterday.

[Cracks his neck! totally kung-fu movie neck-breaking style]

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

[well I was listening really kinda intently but SUDDENLY] JWLAKJ!!

[playingdoctor]

Better. Stay still again for a little while until you relax again.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Fuck I never wanna hear that noise again.

[playingdoctor]

Yeah, I love that noise.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

You're a demon, if I hear that again it'll be because I landed wrong on my head.

[playingdoctor]

Yeah, yeah, I take things like that like a compliment.

[seems a bit rueful though.]

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Huuh. . .

That other guy you like just left yesterday?

[playingdoctor]

Yeah. He's such a damn retard.
