❄ seventh reminder

[ You probably can't solve all of life's problems by covering Mayfield with fliers, and it went pretty terribly the last time she tried something like this, but that is not about stop her. She is determined to find Tavros a girlfriend. Or boyfriend. Or just a date, really. Any date.

So these have been plastered up around the school, and any place she thinks eligible bachelors and bacholerettes might be hanging out. What could possibly go wrong.......... ]




[ ooc; feel free to pop in on her while she's hanging them up, otherwise give her a call if you are interested in this hunky piece of troll. ]

The inherent problems aside, this is going to alert Vriska that he's dateless.

Assuming she's still waxing back and forth between black and red for him, probably.

Also, she threw him off a cliff and paralyzed him, and eventually will murder him.

[Come to think of it trolls murdering their romantic interests is sort of becoming a running theme here isn't it this is not the impression he wants to give humanity at all.]

Yeah, and he's sickeningly nice, he won't tell her to back off nearly enough.

Look, just...

Don't push him to go with someone who isn't going to return his feelings. I know it seems like things will get easier if he's not hung up on you anymore, but the last thing he needs is to feel rejected again when his self-esteem is already so pathetic that he actually has an inferiority complex to the fake person who embodies it.

He's probably not ever going to feel totally comfortable just being friends with you, and while he'll forgive Gamzee, it's going to take a while. And maybe you should just, I don't know, accept that?

I know, but these kinds of wacky quick solutions always generate awkward misunderstandings to fill out the run time.

I'm going to make you marathon romcoms until you understand that.

You're fine. Maybe he'll really find a date out of this.

[rolling his eyes]

Don't feel bad. I probably overreacted.

This all has been set up to blow for a long time. I should have just told Sollux and Feferi the truth.

Oh. I thought I told you, but I probably didn't.

I was right there when he did it. I just can't stop thinking about it sometimes, how I should have done something. It's sort of hard to talk about, I guess, which is why I keep being so cagey about it and making everything worse.

[He seems a little uncomfortable with the hug, and only hugs her back briefly before shrugging her away.]

It's fine.

[identity profile] crusthatecean.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[He's surprised at what she's saying, and also very touched. Not that she expected her to have immediately dropped him for Eridan, but he believes her and he's a little happy.]

No, it's okay. I don't want to have to deal with him myself, but if you want to try and be his friend, I don't care. I even believe he wants to change, although I don't know if it's for genuine reasons, but--

Fuck, I wasn't trying to insult him again. I just mean that it's fine.

It's not like that at all.

It's more like I know I'll never be able to forgive him. But the fact that you think he's worth a chance makes me think maybe it's possible I'm wrong about that.
