[voice] A stormy question

[justicereigns]

[Hello Luceti, is the nice little ice storm distracting you from post-Valentine's woes? Don't worry, here's a grumpy marine asking questions to painfully reminds you all.]

Seeing as we're all stuck inside -- [Once again, an usually feminine voice from Smoker's journal account.] -- I've got a question for everyone affected by the event.

Are there normally lines you won't cross in relationships that the Malnosso seem to cross for you? Or do they seem to take those into consideration instead? Since they seem to know us pretty well, it begs the question whether they're using our weaknesses, or if it's completely random.

And if anyone needs help out there in the storm, let me know. This weather is good practice.

[ooc: and feel free to threadjump like the dickens. It might be the only time Smoker keeps quieter than not, seeing as he's a girl now.]

I know you're bothering her, that's enough.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

If she's bothered, she can just tell me.

For someone who doesn't care, you're being a bit overprotective.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

As if she would say such a thing.

And I'm not.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

We're becoming friends, why wouldn't she?

You are so.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

You obviously aren't doing so if you yourself don't know why she wouldn't.

[Chuckling arrogantly. And ignoring your comment, he's not being overprotective.]

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

Tch. It's not that hard of a question.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

Not for you, but that doesn't apply to the rest.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

[Eyes narrow. Who says it's not hard for him? But he won't explain it.]

Then they don't have to answer. Opt in, opt out.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

Unless they are so polite that they would think it's rude to not answer you, even if you don't deserve it.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

Given her answer, I don't think she's finding it especially hard or particularly embarrassing.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

Again, you don't know her. You should stop making assumptions about her, really.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

Fine. I'll stop asking and talk about something different.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

Whatever do you have to talk with her about?

[No, he's not worried.]

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

We're friends. We both like books and you. Is that a problem with you? [Getting annoyed here.]

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

You lied to her. You're not her friend.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

You told me to pretend to be someone not myself this week.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

Not to her.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

You didn't even tell me about her so how I was to know?

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

You didn't know her from before, what's the point of lying to a seventeen years old harmless girl but not to the pirates?

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

None of the pirates found me and I didn't talk to them at all... except one who already knew.

I wasn't trying to lie to her, I was trying to leave it simple, and I did. Do you want me to tell her the truth now?

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

You did a good job for it being something you weren't trying to do. Sure, go and try to tell her the truth, good luck explaining that you lied.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

Fine.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

Be careful with your questions anyway. Anymore third grade and she'll think you're another bully.

[ voice ]

[justicereigns]

[Quiet.] I am hardly that.

[ voice ]

[uccellodifuoco]

You lied and you ask many questions as if you're interrogating everyone around you. Even if you're not a bully, she may think you are.
