- [4:12pm] Alivi: Eriko is staring at the ceiling.
- [4:12pm] Proto_Lost: Simon hums something from the Ink Spots, boredom has once again come to for a visit.
- [4:12pm] Proto_Lost: He hasn't noticed her yet, he's a bit lost in the rhythm
- [4:14pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs and looks at her phone before placing it back.
- [4:15pm] Proto_Lost: Simon stops humming and looks over to Eriko after hearing her sigh. "Something the matter kiddo?"
- [4:15pm] Alivi: She looks over at Simon before looking back over to the ceiling.
- [4:18pm] Proto_Lost: "...Alright, something's definitely eating at you kid, what's wrong?"
- [4:20pm] Alivi: She pulls her blanket closer to her and tries her best to ignore Simon.
- [4:20pm] Proto_Lost: "...Was it something I said?"
- [4:21pm] Alivi: She looks at Simon. It is a very not happy Eriko look.
- [4:23pm] Proto_Lost: Simon gets it. "...It was, wasn't it."
- [4:25pm] Alivi: "Not just you."
- [4:25pm] Alivi: She says this rather icily.
- [4:26pm] Proto_Lost: "So I'm a part of it...what're you angry about then?"
- [4:26pm] Alivi: "Doesn't matter..."
- [4:28pm] Proto_Lost: "Kid, I want to stop being part of what's bothering you, and I very well can't do that if I don't know what I should be doing to fix it.
- [4:28pm] Proto_Lost: :
- [4:28pm] Proto_Lost: *"
- [4:37pm] Alivi: "Still…"
- [4:37pm] Alivi: "It doesn't matter."
- [4:38pm] Proto_Lost: "Kid, you're upset, and I'm part of the reason why...I want to stop being part of why you're upset."
- [4:40pm] Alivi: "You all worry about me. If small thing happen you get upset and get upset at me if I say I am ok. Then I get worried and you all say it do not matter. So it do not matter."
- [4:42pm] Proto_Lost: "Kid, I don't get upset with you when you say you're OK...sometimes I just think you're only saying you're fine just to keep me from worrying."
- [4:47pm] Alivi: "Even so. Zach is same and Ralph too…" She says Ralph's name quietly.
- [4:48pm] Scansleeps left the chat room. (Quit: Leaving.)
- [4:49pm] Alivi: She shivers a bit and wraps her blanket around herself
- [4:49pm] Proto_Lost: "Well, we worry because we care about you kid, and we work in a place that's known to take people away from us...and I'll be damned if I let it take my sunshine away from me."
- [4:52pm] Alivi: "Even so. What about my worry? You all dismiss it."
- [4:53pm] Proto_Lost: Simon looks like he's about to say something, then stops to think about it. "...I guess we do, but it's only because we don't want to worry you either."
- [4:53pm] Alivi: Eriko looks up at the ceiling again. "Fine."
- [4:56pm] Proto_Lost: "Fine? Fine what?"
- [4:57pm] Alivi: "I mean I can't stop worrying. But I can stop talking about it."
- [4:59pm] Proto_Lost: "Well, I can't stop worrying either kid, and I don't dismiss your worrying about me, I just try my best to show you that I'm fine."
- [4:59pm] Alivi: "What about Zach?"
- [5:02pm] Proto_Lost: "Well...that boy's harder to read than a burnt book, but I'm sure he does his best to do the same."
- [5:04pm] Alivi: Eriko frowns, she would ask about the last person. But cannot bring herself to.
- [5:08pm] Proto_Lost: "And I know that Ralph is doing his best not to worry you, not that you should be worried, since he seems to be fine."
- [5:09pm] Alivi: "Ralph doesn't care."
- [5:11pm] Proto_Lost: Simon looks surprised. "What? What makes you say that?"
- [5:12pm] Alivi: "Last night… only you said anything..."
- [5:14pm] Alivi: "This morning as well..."
- [5:14pm] Proto_Lost: "...Maybe he's just got a lot on his mind kid, I'm sure he didn't want to worry you."
- [5:15pm] Proto_Lost: "...Which didn't go that well, since we're having this conversation about him."
- [5:16pm] Alivi: "No matter…I'll just stop worrying."
- [5:17pm] Proto_Lost: "Kid, it's alright if you worry, hell, I don't think I can stop worrying. I'll try and talk to him, ask him why he didn't say anything."
- [5:19pm] Alivi: "Ok."
- [5:23pm] Proto_Lost: "And I'd say this is grounds for a stern lecture for him, since he upset you."
- [5:25pm] Alivi: "It is fine. He probably doesn't even know..."
- [5:29pm] Proto_Lost: "Then I'll make him know." He says grimly.
- [5:34pm] thedeadlymoose left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
- [5:35pm] Alivi: "Otousan..."
- [5:35pm] Proto_Lost: "Hmm? What is it Eriko?"
- [5:36pm] Alivi: "Nothing..."
- [5:36pm] Alivi: She sighs.
- [5:37pm] Proto_Lost: "That didn't sound like nothing kid."
- [5:38pm] Alivi: Eriko just sighs.
- [5:40pm] Proto_Lost: "Okay, now I'm pretty sure that that wasn't nothing."
- [5:49pm] Positronium is now known as Neutronium.
- [5:49pm] Alivi: "Just do not understand… you know I thought we were together by that time… then he tells me he want to make it official. It was worrying… What else is different with dating here? Is his action just misunderstanding?"
- [5:50pm] Proto_Lost: Simon's looking a bit confused, then he gets it. "Ohh...right. You guys do it differently in the land of the Rising Sun...you need to tell me what you do over there before I tell you how we do it over here."
- [5:52pm] Alivi: "Before girl and boy go out together with lots of friends and later start hanging out with eachother…"
- [5:58pm] Alivi: "Already Ralph has done some strange and embarassing things..."
- [5:59pm] Proto_Lost: Simon scratches his chin, or would if he could move his arms. He instead settles for rubbing it against the neck brace. "Huh...not that different really...and what do you mean strange and embarassing things?"
- [6:00pm] Alivi: "He moves fast. Too fast..."
- [6:02pm] Proto_Lost: "He does? What's he done to make you think that?"
- [6:04pm] Alivi: "He knows very little of my culture…my language… even Zach is learning. But Ralph does not. In Japan we spend long time before we become "official" and he kisses me."
- [6:06pm] Proto_Lost: Simon bristles a bit with that last part, but gets it under control. "Yeah, he's not very subtle...and I'll have you know that back in my day, it took a long time before you got a dame to say yes."
- [6:06pm] Alivi: "While I like Ralph… I think it is too fast."
- [6:07pm] Alivi: "We are already at stage where he talks to my parents which closest thing is you… this is not right."
- [6:08pm] Proto_Lost: "Huh, I suppose that's a bit fast, considering you two did the liplock tango a week or so ago..."
- [6:09pm] Alivi: "That was bad…American men are confusing…Ralph kissed me before….Kaine, Adam…" Eriko seems pretty much horrified.
- [6:11pm] Proto_Lost: Simon isn't just bristling in his casts, he feels like punching a brick wall in his casts with each successive mention of names.
- [6:12pm] Proto_Lost: "...Yeah." He manages to croak out.
- [6:12pm] Alivi: Eriko just seems upset.
- [6:13pm] Alivi: "Everything really is fast..."
- [6:13pm] Alivi: "Is this normal?"
- [6:14pm] Proto_Lost: "Well, to be honest, I'm not very up to date with how courtship works now...back then, a weekly date at a nice steak joint with some decent champagne, maybe a movie before that would've been just fine for the two of you.
- [6:14pm] Proto_Lost: "
- [6:15pm] Alivi: "I do not understand."
- [6:15pm] Proto_Lost: You could keep that up for a month, or hell, even a year, till the dame or her family decides to let you be with her for real...I dated Trishka for nearly a year, and she'd already dumped me once."
- [6:21pm] ShockwaveLover joined the chat room.
- [6:21pm] ShockwaveLover was promoted to operator by ChanServ.
- [6:24pm] Proto_Lost: "All I'm saying is that I'm as clueless as you are about courtship nowadays...though I think Ralph's only rushing because he doesn't know how long any of us still have once we're back in the field."
- [6:25pm] Alivi: "I understand that… but I am saying it is a bit hard. I do not know how to deal with these things."
- [6:26pm] Proto_Lost: "...Neither do I kid...it's been a while since I gave advice to anyone about love and how people express it."
- [6:27pm] Alivi: "I see..."
- [6:30pm] Alivi: "Even so..."
- [6:39pm] Proto_Lost: "Hmm?"
- [6:39pm] Alivi: "I am afraid I do not understand such things."
- [6:39pm] Proto_Lost: "Well, I guess that's one more thing I can add to the list of things I should talk to Ralph about."
- [6:49pm] Alivi: "How are you going to talk to him?"
- [6:50pm] Proto_Lost: Simon lets out a sigh and looks over to Ralph. "I won't lie kid, I'll probably start shouting if he doesn't give me a straight answer, or if he was doing this on purpose."
- [6:57pm] Alivi: "I hope he isn't..."
- [6:58pm] Proto_Lost: "Same here kid, but if he is...I will fucking destroy him."
- [7:00pm] Alivi: "Otousan..."
- [7:01pm] Proto_Lost: "What is it kid?"
- [7:02pm] Alivi: "Just….are you upset at him?"
- [7:02pm] Proto_Lost: Simon sighs. "Well..no, but I will be once I find out that he's doing this on purpose."
