[11:12:21] <The_Captain> So
[11:12:23] <The_Captain> gonna guess that
[11:12:37] <The_Captain> Noi's biggest problem is that her dad is...well, a single dad
[11:12:49] <The_Captain> workin' hard as he can, usually dead tired
[11:13:28] <Voodoo_Juice> mmph yep
[11:13:36] <Voodoo_Juice> Also that Noi is such a daddy's girl
[11:13:50] <Voodoo_Juice> like, all that loose cool? Right out the window the moment he shows up.
[11:13:55] <The_Captain> heh
[11:13:57] <Voodoo_Juice> Where that HEart 9 stat starts to show
[11:16:56] <Voodoo_Juice> Rei's a bit harder
[11:17:01] <Voodoo_Juice> but I'm going to guess
[11:17:08] <Voodoo_Juice> she's entering that youthful rebellion
[11:17:18] <The_Captain> Ssssorta.
[11:17:49] <The_Captain> It's a little more complicated than "I really love dad and I get that he's doing all this for me but I still want to spend time with him"
[11:18:57] <The_Captain> there's a reason she's Aggro 6 Social 3 (4 now)
[11:19:21] <Voodoo_Juice> ppph~
[11:19:25] <Voodoo_Juice> *OooH~
[11:20:50] <The_Captain> and she only has her mom
[11:21:01] <The_Captain> you're only getting the common knowledge stuff to figure it out
[11:22:17] <Voodoo_Juice> on a scale from slight tears to full on dark
[11:23:41] <The_Captain> I'd say...
[11:23:44] <The_Captain> 5
[11:23:50] <The_Captain> tears being 1 dark being 10
[11:23:56] <The_Captain> -maybe- 6
[11:24:02] <Voodoo_Juice> mmmh
[11:24:07] <The_Captain> but that's a big maybe
[11:24:17] <Voodoo_Juice> either dead or divorced dead
[11:24:27] <The_Captain> so close
[11:24:49] <Voodoo_Juice> ahh, never knew the father?
[11:24:58] <The_Captain> no, she knew her dad
[11:25:06] <The_Captain> remember, when Noi said "Did we eat your dad's cooking again"
[11:25:13] <The_Captain> and you meant my as in Noi's dad
[11:25:18] <Voodoo_Juice> oh yeah
[11:25:21] <The_Captain> Rei said "Not unless we're five again."
[11:25:32] <Voodoo_Juice> bailed?
[11:25:32] <The_Captain> (it was bad. the man can't cook)
[11:25:45] <The_Captain> Ssssorta
[11:25:50] <The_Captain> He initiated the divorce.
[11:26:07] <Voodoo_Juice> ah.
[11:26:30] <Voodoo_Juice> heh, this is kinda funny
[11:26:53] <Voodoo_Juice> Noi's dad was divorced by Noi's mother, who was a hueg bluh bluh bitch.
[11:27:09] <Voodoo_Juice> Noi never knew her.
[11:27:24] <The_Captain> Rei's mom and dad just weren't that good a match. High school lovers, pregnant -right- out of high school.
[11:27:46] <The_Captain> They tried to make it work but
[11:28:14] <The_Captain> Seven years into it, they started fighting. A lot.
[11:28:47] <The_Captain> Sometimes they'd start fighting about Rei, "I didn't ask for this, etc"
[11:29:13] <The_Captain> She basically thinks it's her fault that dad left but is shoving it off by blaming her mom.
[11:31:48] <Voodoo_Juice> yup, guessed as much
[11:41:28] <The_Captain> Noi and Rei have known each other for quite a while, right?
[11:41:41] <Voodoo_Juice> believe so
[11:41:46] <The_Captain> 's what I thought
[11:41:57] <The_Captain> because when it all happened
[11:42:03] <The_Captain> Aggro and Social switched
[11:42:52] <The_Captain> and she started alienating friends that didn't know what was going on
[11:43:03] <The_Captain> leaving Noi and Umi
[11:43:12] <Voodoo_Juice> Rei's alternatively probably seen Noi's slow descent into poverty. From buying out, to brown bagging, to nothing at all and mooching.
[11:43:39] <Voodoo_Juice> Her clothes have become old, or second-hand.
[11:43:48] <The_Captain> Which is why Rei pays for lunch every time.
[11:43:55] <The_Captain> Even if the coin toss is in her favor.
[11:44:11] <The_Captain> "Nah, don't worry about it. I forgot, I owe you after [blank]."
