  1. [12:32:17 AM CDT] * [grant]_Linrel creates a few light taps against Rakuo's door.
  2. [12:34:04 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> [[After a few long seconds, Linrel can hear a chair scoot and faint footfalls on the floor approaching the door. Rakuo opens it.]]
  3. [12:36:02 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Hey Rakuo, I just came by since it's been a while since we hung out together. * She looks on with a smile. *
  4. [12:38:53 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Uh...
  5. [12:38:57 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> It has, hasn't it.
  6. [12:39:09 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> How... are you doing??
  7. [12:40:20 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> I'm doing alright. * She takes a closer look at Rakuo. * Is something up?
  8. [12:40:40 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Um...
  9. [12:41:24 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo is looking blankly up at Linrel, her pigtails trailing limply down her back.
  10. [12:41:31 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I guess?
  11. [12:45:07 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> If you're feeling sick I can keep you company. * She places the back of her hand against Rakuo's forehead. * I can grab some orange juice or vitamins for you too.
  12. [12:46:13 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> No, that's okay, I guess I just...
  13. [12:46:21 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Uh, would you... would you like to come in?
  14. [12:49:06 AM CDT] * []_Catherine rubs her eyes.
  15. [12:49:11 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Sure. * Is a little puzzled by the way Rakuo is speaking and acting. *
  16. [12:50:27 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo steps back, making room for Linrel to come in.
  17. [12:50:41 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I guess you can sit on the chair or the bed. I don't have anywhere else to sit.
  18. [12:52:22 AM CDT] * [grant]_Linrel goes over to the bed at takes a seat with a soft plop. She then looks over to Rakuo.
  19. [12:54:02 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo takes a seat in the chair, straddling it so that she can rest her arms on the seat back. Her feet don't quite reach the floor this way; her expression is listless, not focused on Linrel.
  20. [12:59:02 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> So, was there something you wanted to do, or something?
  21. [1:00:58 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Well... I wanted to invite you out to go to a few new places around town. However, I'm fine with just talking and spending time with you anywhere.
  22. [1:01:17 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Okay.
  23. [1:02:35 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Hmmm, I'm met this pretty odd girl recently, she is always trying to pick a fight with me.
  24. [1:03:10 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Oh yeah?
  25. [1:05:10 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> She has long black hair and told me her name is Ms. Magic. I don't think that's her real last name though, considering she just shoved me. All I did was make a joke about her bandages.
  26. [1:05:52 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Wait, long, black hair, goes by "magic?" You don't mean Catherine, do you?
  27. [1:07:41 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Hmmm, not sure. She never told me her real name. I think she was the one in front at that little performance during lunch.
  28. [1:08:23 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Yeah, that's Catherine. And yeah, she does go by "Magic." I agree, it's weird, but she's foreign, so who knows.
  29. [1:11:00 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Oh yeah? I agree she is an odd one. Although, I wonder what Alitia was doing hanging out with her at the ice cream shop.
  30. [1:11:38 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Probably having ice cream. She took us out once, and said something about doing it again. I guess Alitia took her up on it.
  31. [1:16:12 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Sounds like a fun time, I've been a little busy lately so I haven't had a chance to slack off as much as I'd like. So what about you, how's life treating you?
  32. [1:16:44 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> It's been fine, I guess. It's just, stuff happening fast the past day or two.
  33. [1:21:59 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> I noticed it a little when you answered the door. If I can help out just ask me.
  34. [1:23:15 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo looks at Linrel, thinking.
  35. [1:23:51 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Linrel, do you have any friends?
  36. [1:27:16 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Friends? Do you just mean like close friends or just acquaintances.
  37. [1:27:52 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> People you feel close to. Someone you'd call your friend. Not just a person you know.
  38. [1:32:12 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> The person I feel the closest to is you. I might have a few more but they are probably more of a business relationship than an actual friendship.
  39. [1:32:39 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo sighs.
  40. [1:34:29 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I might have had some friends in elementary school, but I don't really remember. They didn't stick, at least, and I fell out of touch with them in middle school. I'm pretty sure I had a friend in middle school, but I didn't pay attention— well, there was other stuff going on, too, but still— I don't think I'm going to see her again. And now, for the first time maybe ever, I have a friend, and I know she's my friend,
  41. [1:34:29 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> and I don't know if we'll be able to keep being friends.
  42. [1:34:39 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> So I'm worried, I guess.
  43. [1:40:18 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> What are you worried about? While I might not be the best person for this type of advice, friends stick together though thick and thin.
  44. [1:40:47 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I'm worried about—
  45. [1:40:55 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Well, I don't know, really, maybe nothing.
  46. [1:41:27 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> But I guess mostly I'm worried that things won't be able to stay the same between us, and I think I'd rather that they could.
  47. [1:46:24 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Hmmm, so this thing has been weighing on you for the past few days?
  48. [1:48:28 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> No, just... an hour, maybe. Like I've said, things have been moving fast lately.
  49. [1:52:43 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> If it hasn't been that long then you can just go see your friend. I'm not sure what happened but if it was like a fight then I'm sure you two can make up.
  50. [1:53:45 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Heh. No, it's not a fight. Just changes. I'm pretty sure that she needs some time to herself right now, though.
  51. [1:58:07 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Just make sure it doesn't end up getting delayed more and more.
  52. [1:58:40 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Yeah, I know. I've been good about that so far.
  53. [1:59:10 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> But still, I think I need to give her at least the rest of the day. If I don't hear from her in a day or two after that, I'll go talk to her myself.
  54. [2:02:02 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> That's good. Now that you have a plan, you can just relax until the time comes. It's unhealthy to worry so much.
  55. [2:03:46 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I know. I can't help it, and things will turn out one way or the other eventually, I just...
  56. [2:03:51 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo sighs.
  57. [2:04:07 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> This is important to me, and I don't like feeling that there might not be anything I can do to keep it.
  58. [2:07:19 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> And honestly...
  59. [2:07:31 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I don't want to be alone again.
  60. [2:10:03 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> You don't even have to consider that. I'll be by your side if anything happens.
  61. [2:10:59 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo sighs again, looking at the floor and putting her hands on top of her head.
  62. [2:11:06 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Linrel, I just don't feel that way about you.
  63. [2:14:13 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> I know, you've already told me.
  64. [2:16:32 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> So I'm not worried about not having a body next to me, I get along fine. I'm worried about growing apart from someone I care about.
  65. [2:16:50 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I wouldn't be worried if I didn't actually like the person in question.
  66. [2:20:07 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Ouch, I'm envious of this friend of yours.
  67. [2:21:34 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Even after trying, I haven't improved in your rankings at all.
  68. [2:22:13 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I have to admit, you're still just sort of creepy. I don't know if that will ever go away, really.
  69. [2:26:33 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Well * She scratches her head. * I'll just have to keep trying to improve until I'm acceptable.
  70. [2:27:46 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> So feeling a little better after talking about it?
  71. [2:28:07 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I guess.
  72. [2:28:19 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I still won't know how anything is going to turn out for a couple days, probably.
  73. [2:32:05 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Anyway, how've you been? We've been talking a lot about me.
  74. [2:35:21 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> It's been alright for the most part. My supplier for cigarettes has been running out, so I've had to cut back a little.
  75. [2:35:43 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Well, smoking is bad for you, anyway.
  76. [2:36:32 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> So is everything else you do and don't do.
  77. [2:37:18 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo looks puzzled.
  78. [2:37:22 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> That doesn't make any sense.
  79. [2:37:44 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> To the point where you might as well live in a bubble and let other people decide your life for you.
  80. [2:38:15 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Okay, are you just thinking up dialogue for a story or something?
  81. [2:40:33 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Not really, I might make use of the concept of someone running everyone life but I'd rather write on things that are more related to the human nature.
  82. [2:40:57 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> What makes people tick?
  83. [2:41:16 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> It's all just electricity, when it comes down to it.
  84. [2:42:18 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Sure if you want the generic and boring answer. There are more intricacies than that.
  85. [2:42:51 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I mean, the electric device is pretty damn intricate, yeah. We still don't really understand it.
  86. [2:44:01 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> That mystery is what makes it great, it makes me sick just to think of the day where we completely understand the mind.
  87. [2:44:22 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> It'll be a strage time, yeah.
  88. [2:44:30 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> We probably won't live to see it, though.
  89. [2:45:27 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Maybe, one of my hopes is that my works will out live me far into the future.
  90. [2:45:54 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Do you have anything published yet?
  91. [2:48:13 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> No not really. One of my many pondering lead me to the question, "Do you need to be famous to influence society?"
  92. [2:48:59 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Well, as an author, you don't need to be famous, but you do need to be read.
  93. [2:50:49 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> As long as one person reads it then that's enough to change the world. That's what I think.
  94. [2:52:13 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Well, one more person in the world will have read something by you, I guess.
  95. [2:54:12 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Guess my job as an author is done then. * She jokingly replies. *
  96. [2:55:52 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Uh...
  97. [2:56:00 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I haven't actually read that yet.
  98. [2:56:15 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> I'll do it, I just haven't gotten around to it.
  99. [2:58:04 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Read what? Oh, that copy I gave you.
  100. [3:00:33 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> We can talk about it next time we meet, at least up to the part you've read.
  101. [3:01:07 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Yeah, sure.
  102. [3:02:58 AM CDT] * [grant]_Linrel gets off the bed and stands up.
  103. [3:04:36 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> Hopefully you and your friend get things sorted. If you want to hang out at some point just drop by my room. I'm usually around.
  104. [3:04:50 AM CDT] <[Multi]_Rakuo> Sounds good. Thanks.
  105. [3:05:33 AM CDT] * [grant]_Linrel gives a wave and leaves Rakuo's room.
  106. [3:06:18 AM CDT] * [Multi]_Rakuo makes sure the door is closed. She sits back in her chair, front forwards this time, scoots it up to her desk, and resumes her homework.
  107. [3:06:52 AM CDT] <[grant]_Linrel> ----
