[....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.))

[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]

[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.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Will you see him again? He's not someone from a comic or something is he?

[playingdoctor]

He's from my world. We've known each other since we were teenagers too. He was the weird kid with the camera who stalked me all the time back then, though.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

. . . Is he a bastard like that other guy?

[playingdoctor]

He's a different kind but the same sort, if you know what I mean. Really cheerful and happy and nice and capable of way more manipulation than most people realize. On the upside, he doesn't tend to abuse it overmuch, but he just doesn't let things slip by and nobody else seems to notice when he's planning things.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

. . . That sounds kinda creepy. Maybe you should TAKE A BREAK FROM PEOPLE or something.

[playingdoctor]

Yeah, well, I thought about it when he left, but on the other hand I miss making out with people.

...And... People like that are kind of interesting, though, because they don't genuinely care for a lot of people, though. Like, they keep people at arm's length.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Adult priorities. . . I guess if you like someone you'd think it was interesting instead of retarded.

[playingdoctor]

Don't you like anyone you think is retarded?

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

I probably wouldn't like them if they weren't!

[playingdoctor]

Exactly! So interesting is one thing, but you can like them if they're retarded too.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

You win for worse taste than me though! You're supposed to be smarter.

[playingdoctor]

Ehhh, if you met Ryouichi you'd understand.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

I don't have any complicated higher romantic gay functions like you. But if you're the one that understands it I guess that's okay.

[playingdoctor]

Well, he's also really hot. Tall and lanky with spiky black hair.

[thebackburner.livejournal.com]

Going by looks alone is dangerous.
