[Him too? Like Souda'd tell anyone-- like anyone else'd get to hear about all the stuff he's afraid of to begin with.]
maybe start with takin less crap and sayin things instead of just lettin people talk
you've seen this class bullshit around here, right? it's for preserving the peace or whatever, with certain animals having to be certain things, but it all sounds stupid
no subject
I mean, I guess I've thought about it too. It's a shitty time to be grabbed away from home. There's so much that's about to happen.
Other than that?
no subject
well, i mean i guess from somewhere but... i was just thinking about it
[Souda Kazuichi: avoiding something. Unconvincingly.]
no subject
[FRIENDSHIP AND CONCERN, KUZURYUU STYLE.]
1/3
[WHAT IS THIS FRIENDSHIP can he trade it for something less violent?!
But, ugh, he guesses he should talk about it.]
there was just this guy i kinda know that i ran into today and some ladies were badmouthing him and i just ended up saying somethin
no subject
i just remembered shit from when i was a kid. i never said anythin to anyone when it happened
no subject
then i just started thinkin about it more after
[Basically, he found some courage from it... good thing or bad thing? He's a little depressed at the moment so it's kind of mixed.]
no subject
[Wait no okay now the're getting somewhere.]
Well yeah, it doesn't seem like they're gonna kill us. But that's good, isn't it?
What're you thinking more about?
no subject
maybe i could stop bein afraid of doin some stuff if i don't gotta worry about as many things... or something like that
[Maybe Souda's thinking more about changing.]
no subject
If there's something you wanna do, you should do it. Don't let worrying get in your way. You might miss your chance, and you'll definitely regret it.
no subject
[He'll let himself be a little candid with Kuzuryuu--doing this via text also makes it easier to talk about.]
but yeah, okay, i'll try...
no subject
[Don't tell anyone that, Souda. He'll deny it and threaten you. But it's Souda, so it's okay to tell him.]
Yeah? So what do you wanna try to do?
no subject
maybe start with takin less crap and sayin things instead of just lettin people talk
you've seen this class bullshit around here, right? it's for preserving the peace or whatever, with certain animals having to be certain things, but it all sounds stupid
no subject
Yeah. It's fucked up. All based on whatever shitty ears or tail you got stuck on you. It's stupid as hell.
[Kuzuryuu thinks so too.]
no subject
[Souda can't promise he'll, uh, charge to the rescue. But he'll certainly provide moral support!!]
no subject
[It's Kuzuryuu. He is the ass in the room.]
People been messing with you? 'cause if they are you should tell me.
[...Kuzuryuu will threaten the hell out of them.]
no subject
[No way, right? He wouldn't? ... Would he? Now Souda's curious about it.]
no subject
You gotta follow through with threats or people wind up not taking you serious.
[...Yakuza words of wisdom.
Yes he would beat people up for you, Souda. You are his friend.]
no subject
[...Really? He's not just saying that? Souda's staring, bewildered, at his device... Well. Now he's flustered and touched.]
anyway it's fine, you don't gotta threaten anyone. no-one's been hasslin me
[Any more than usual, at least.]
no subject
But good. If that changes, let me know.
[He will keep an eye out on his friend here. They will keep an eye out for each other! Right?]
no subject
yeah sure, i'll let you know
[An extended pause between texts. But then:] thanks
