SUPER unclear, cannot compute, might as well be another language.

You just don't like music or what???

[blackfire]

No.

（ wait, no, shit — ）

That is not an invitation for you to attempt to find something I may like.

[groupiedrifter]

Uhhh. Why not?

You allergic to learning things, Mr. Serious Business?

[blackfire]

（ if u are trying to find a nerve to strike, son, he's got 99 problems and a nerve ain't one!!! ）

I see no benefit to justifying my position to you.

（ sorry, newt. ）

[groupiedrifter]

Why does everything you do have to be a benefit?

And why does it have to sound like I'm putting you on trial?

I mean, you should be put on trial for the crime of being too stiff.

[blackfire]

Do you react like this whenever anyone holds a differing opinion or belief to you?

[groupiedrifter]

Probably! Gonna have to gather statistics for that one.

My turn for awkward question!!!!

Do you always get real defensive when people try to have a typical social conversation with you?

[blackfire]

I am not defensive — I am annoyed.

You are demonstrating impolite and invasive behaviour because I expressed my neutrality on something dear to you.

Others do not have to like what what you like. Differences of opinion are to be natural and expected.

...
Man, you're a total buzzkill.



You and Hermann would get along great!
Have you met Herm?
Don't call him Herm but anyway
You're both grouchy formal types who are super focused overachievers.

So how do you know if you like things or not anyway???
Do you try new things at ALL?
How else do you fill all the time in a day???
We've been off-mission for a MONTH!😩

[blackfire]

（ but did hermann murder his entire family, tho? important q's with itachi uchiha. ）

Are you asking because you have a genuine interest and this is your idea of 'bonding', or are you trying to prove a point?

（ look, it's Character Growth that he hasn't hung up yet. ）

[groupiedrifter]

Dude, if I didn't have a genuine interest I'd have hung up forever ago!

Just because you're way different than me doesn't mean I don't wanna ~*~bond~*~ or whatever.
And yeah I'll bitch about your lack of music (totally affectionate, but also offended)
but there's tons of other stuff I like that you might
and if I have no clue what you're talking about, I like trying new stuff, so.

[blackfire]

（ hm^TM. ）

I see.

Then perhaps we will speak later, Newton-san.

（ what, did you think he was going to be nice about it? ）

[groupiedrifter]

Auuuugh, fiiiine.

I GUESS I'll just go built tiny robots while I watch Monsters Inc. for the 20th time.




After I bully Viv into a music room.

[blackfire]

（ you fucker, you knew exactly that was going to pique his interest.

but not enough for him to swallow his pride and say as much.

so he's outtie.

enjoy your robots and monsters and whatever else you got goin' on, son. ）
