two flames ☆

[Here is a crazy redhead casually leaning against an odd-looking light pole, dressed in his checkered default. The pole is curvy and purply-pink and crooked like everything else in Hollow Bastion and sticks out sorely compared to the rest of the Plane. Axel, too, but that's readily obvious.

He doesn't seem to care, though-- could be waiting for someone, actually. A black and white skateboard rests beneath his arm, while one painted with flames rolls gently back and forth beneath a boot. As if this isn't boring enough, he's humming something.]

Zapped?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Like a laser minefield.

[mercwamouth]

...Damn. That sounds like a fun afternoon.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Fun. Dangerous. Kinda tingly.

[mercwamouth]

Good times.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Thumbs up!]

Maybe I'll take you through it someday.

[mercwamouth]

Probably not, but hey, could be fun.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

We have a spaceship. That's gotta account for something.

[mercwamouth]

Well you could have a freaking Colonial Fleet and it wouldn't matter if I couldn't get to your reality.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Give it some time. It'll turn out.

[mercwamouth]

Oh, you talkin' about a merger?

Look, you seem like a nice enough guy, but I'm not big into sharing my space.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Oh. No worries, I know how that is.

[mercwamouth]

Then again, I'm not really that good at controlling these things.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Something bad happen because of it? [Totally new at this.]

[mercwamouth]

Well, it just... happened... once.

Let me put it this way, I haven't gone back to my place since.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

... Yikes. Sorry to hear that.

[mercwamouth]

She's a sweet girl, but...

...It's hard to have her that close.

[Eww. Stop emoing all over the Plane.]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[surprisingly mellow] It's hard to be completely honest with people you care about sometimes.

[mercwamouth]

It's not just that. It's... I know she loves this other guy, right?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Ah, gotcha. That's hard.

[mercwamouth]

So it's kinda weird.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Told her you want some space?

[mercwamouth]

...No?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Might wanna work on that.

[mercwamouth]

...She's not... easy to talk to.
