withoutveronaRomeo was sprawled on his bed writing in his poetry journal, and wondering if bunnies could read.
Of course, the bunny his girlfriend had become had chomped through half a bag of pretzels, curled up in a little shoebox nest he had made for her and gone to sleep, so the point was moot. But it was still something to ponder.

Date: 2008-08-12 03:42 am (UTC)Reno still had no idea what to do when his guts were being stirred around like that, dammit.
"I can't even give her a 'both.' I mean, I can for now. But sooner or later, I'm gonna have to go back to Gaia to be a Turk. And from there, anything could go wrong. I can't promise forever, or next year, or even tomorrow. All I got to offer is right now."

Date: 2008-08-12 03:47 am (UTC)He hesitated. "I can see why she's hurt you won't walk away." He wasn't taking sides, just stating a face.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 03:51 am (UTC)He went dead silent for a moment, mulling it all over. And the next words out of his mouth- they were very clearly recited. Flat and dry with and every ounce of meaning he'd ever heard Tseng use when he said them.
"All evidence of misconduct must be erased." If that wasn't enough, one last bit of miming- a finger to the forehead, bang, like a gun- maybe that would clarify it a little more easily.

Date: 2008-08-12 03:56 am (UTC)Finally, he licked his lips. "Does she know that?"
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 04:00 am (UTC)"She's afraid of bein' hunted down because of what she did in the past. Nobody on Gaia cares what she did. But if I go and tell her they'd kill her for gettin' between them and me, I think it'd... kinda boil down to all that other... stuff. Again. Government and-"
He didn't want to go there. And so he shut himself up.

Date: 2008-08-12 04:11 am (UTC)And he firmly believed that, if she couldn't let go when he had to leave, then this right now... Maybe it was for the best.
"Sorry, man. I shouldn't be throwin' all this at you. I mean, you got-" He glanced at Dojima. Oh, right. "-A bunny to worry about."
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 04:16 am (UTC)"The bunny is happy," he said firmly. "She owes Professor Deadpool baked goods for missing class, and she got to play chase with Aravis. Who is a leopard." He took on a puzzled air. "Do you think they might have all gotten bitten, somehow or by something?"
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 04:26 am (UTC)"Hard to say, yo. After turnin' into a chocobo for like half a freakin' week, I'm convinced that the island itself is laughin' at us all. I'm probably not the guy to ask."

Date: 2008-08-12 04:32 pm (UTC)It was entirely possible that yes, he was convinced that the island was out to get them. "See, now it's gonna try to work that into its schedule or somethin'. 'Make Romeo an ugly rat again. For shits an' giggles.'"

Date: 2008-08-12 04:45 pm (UTC)Okay, he was almost smiling again, now.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 04:50 pm (UTC)Almost-smiles were encouraging.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 04:55 pm (UTC)Really, it was difficult to discuss playing dress-up with your best friend, the rodent, without smirking at least a little bit.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 05:00 pm (UTC)He was all but laughing, now.
[OOC: Ha, very wrong icon.]
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 05:05 pm (UTC)"The goggles are an important accessory. I'd be shocked an' hurt if the island ever took 'em away."
They just looked cool, okay?
[OOC: And now I am dead of other-icon. Hee!]
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 05:10 pm (UTC)Then, more seriously again: "Will you be all right?"
no subject
Date: 2008-08-12 05:17 pm (UTC)He was big on goggle-kinetics?
... Maybe not.
"I don't know," he replied, and there he went all over again, shrugging. "I'll sleep on it or somethin'. Maybe figure out... Stuff."
Maybe figure out what had set it all off in the first place. That would be nice.
