headmt | PC: BEAU + CALEB

You have never been sensible.

[He's glad she felt validated by that instead of bothered by the reminder. Or, well, maybe both, but. Caleb isn't one to begrudge people for wanting to hold on to their grief for a little while, or to mind them wanting to talk about it.

I miss her, too. I'm sorry that something that brought you a little happiness in this place was taken away.

He'll take a sip of his drink, drum his fingers against the side of it while he lets the thought sit.]

I think everyone involved here does have nipples, so I am not sure I understand the criticism.

[She was, but she does not think she is dating either. She is trying to run from both while holding on to both at the same time. But I think Crow is able to deal with that without getting hurt too badly, while Ichiro is not. But I will not be the one to tell him so.]

. . . Ah. Yesterday when I was doing the um, talk about someone thing with Luxanna, she told me she is 'as fond of Ichiro as he seems to be of Iris.' So there is that, as well.

[aw... caleb. beau's quiet for a moment, mulling that over. she just gives herself one second to be sad about it, takes a swig of booze, and then shakes it off.]

What the fuck kind of romances have you been a part of? [molly, please.] Actually. Don't answer that.

[the iris thoughts get beau to just WRINKLE HER NOSE this is why she has stayed far away from iris, she can smell straight girl problems from a mile away. as for that last part:]

Oh gods. Really? What a fucking mess that is - I'm pretty sure Ichiro is fucking clueless.

You don’t want me to answer that.

[Molly looks over at Caleb at that thought, going a little sad himself - that’s a kind thing and just reaches over to pat Beau on the back, jostling her a little. Not going to leave her there in that fuckin’ daycare either.]

He’s clueless? She keeps running away from him full tilt at every opportunity when he starts in on his lonesome song. It’s twelve foot tall letters on the side of a barn.

[Iris will also probably hate it if he stopped paying so much mind to her. Straight girl problems!]

[She will. Oh, Iris. He can't really judge her for her straight girl problems, though, because he knows he is also a messy bitch.]

Tunnel vision. [It was also fairly obvious there was something between she and Crow, but. Tunnel vision.]

[she shoves at molly's hand, but it's half-assed. she clearly appreciates it, even when he jostles her.]

Okay - Lux can't say shit about me running away before if that's what she does! [What the fuck!!!]

[Just pulling her into a sideways hug the more she shoves at him.]

Oh, she very much can’t.

Oh? Did she say that?

[He just sounds more curious than anything.]

I think she is uhm, the most running away type of person here.

[grumbling but also letting him hug her. she leans into it, even, absently holding at the back of his shirt.]

Well, not like, to me, but. [huff.] No, she definitely runs from any sort of emotions, or showing her cards.

[I think it's why I have a hard time talking to her. Can't figure out where to stop pressing.]

[His thoughts just reflexly go: Hysterical accusations coming from the two of you, Mister Too Messy and Miss I Fucking Hate Cards. But it’s fine. It’s fine.]

... Any more gossip? Catra and Adora pretty much instantly starting kissing in the daycare. Did I mention that?

Arschloch. I know. Why do you think I get along with her?

[It feels a little silly to sit around and gossip about which teens are kissing, but. It's also fun.]

Well, I knew that Maya was interested in Rita, but I suppose that is known to everyone now.

[elbows molly

she also grins at that part.] Fucking finally. With Catra and Adora. I'm glad.

[thinking... thinking.] Nier has a crush on Claude, I'm pretty sure, and Kainé but I think that's... messy, with them? Oh, and Taichi and Yamato finally got their shit together like, two weeks ago, but we all knew that one, too.

Edited (important details) 2021-07-23 18:52 (UTC)

Don’t call me an arsehole for things I just thought, I couldn’t help it! I wouldn’t say it to your face, Mister Too Messy and Miss I Hate the Cards.

[huff.]

Oh. Good for them. Were they not togehter before, Taichi and Yamato? I thought they came here that way. Had this weird ... heartbeat connection. [That’s not something you have with someone you aren’t involved with.] Maya also has a thing with—- Riku, right? Likes those four letter R-names. Is that a type to have?

That is not a type to have.

[Anyway, he shrugs at that; he'd also thought they were at first, and then later learned they weren't, probably at about the time they actually were.]

. . . I am out of things I know about, I'm afraid.

They've been friends since they were kids, and Yamato's been crazy about him forever but Taichi's an idiot and didn't realize until a life or death situation.

[gestures absently.]

[Oh, he snaps his fingers—-]

Lucretia came into Spring dorm the other day with her lipstick smeared.

[DRAMA....]

Is that so?

[His thoughts are obvious embarrassment over something. Wow!]

[looks at caleb

looks at molly

looks at caleb again]

[ LOOKING AT CALEB.

His eyebrows are about five inches up right now. Sir. ]

No! I wasn't the one who -

[God! Looking away from both of them.]

Why are you embarrassed then? [TELL YOUR SECRETS] I mean, good for her, but also.

[ No sir? Spill? Molly looks between Caleb and Beau for a second, and then immediately lunges over to grab Caleb and try and wrestle him to the ground, (not particularly) gently and (very) socially. Try. as if he doesn’t weight two grapes.

Actually he suspects he might know what the embarrassment is about but also. He’s so fucking curious.]

Do you know who? You know who. Who. Think about it. Think about it. Think about it.

[Why! Why was this necessary. Pushing at Molly's face with his hand, but yeah you grappled a wizard, I guess! His thoughts are just. Zemnian sputtering.]

. . . I already told you this, Mollymauk. [He scowls, but fine.] She asked me last week to accompany her somewhere, and then when we spoke on Tuesday, she clarified she had meant it as a more specific invitation than I had realized. [He means it was a date.] I. . . I had assumed she was the sort of person I ought to disclose [wait, shit] certain facts rather than accept the invitation, which I did, and now I feel a bit foolish for that assumption.

[this gay activity

no, she absolutely moves out of the way to let molly socially tackle caleb, grinning a bit.]

Oh, you totally turned her down and she rebounded, dude. [leaning in] Disclose certain facts, huh.

[Pushed at, but undeterred. Just laughing and play acting like one hand to the face is actually keeping him at bay, tail swishing like a cat cornering some sort of small prey in the corner. It’s not so much gay activity as annoying activity, probably. Maybe a little gay, from the tiny little whisper of a thought that’s something like was that the only reason he said no? but. It’s an ugly thought he doesn’t like, so he dismisses it.]

Oh. Right! Thought you had something more exciting than that.

[And turning to Beauregard, without letting Caleb up.]

He means he has the clap. Whole downstairs situation is very harrowing right now.

No, because if Mollymauk saw her entering Spring, it was before I "turned her down."

[He sounds like he's planning to say something else, but then Molly says that, so he kicks him.]

Anyway, it doesn't matter.
