Re: Day 287

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: oh no not again I'm so sorry

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: Hahaha, why are you apologising?

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: I hadn't met you before and I thought that was just a dream!

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: I am pretty dreamy, so you're not exactly off-base there. 😘

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: I mean—you were
sad bird in snow: very nice. You're very sweet.

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: So are you.
Lily Pads: Very sweet, I mean.
Lily Pads: In more ways than one. ;Dc
Lily Pads: But you must have some dreams, then.
Lily Pads: Not that I'm judging, obviously.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: I mean, doesn't everyone...?
sad bird in snow: Sorry, it's just an awkward way to meet, really, but, er
sad bird in snow: your poetry's very nice

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: Hehe, sorry if it was awkward for you.
Lily Pads: I thought it was a blast, honestly.
Lily Pads: A beautiful warrior of a woman appearing in a dream showing a delicate side with her honeyed, hopeful words.
Lily Pads: If that'ts not romantic, I don't know what is.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: ah, you flatter me.
sad bird in snow: I mean, not that it was bad, it definitely wasn't, but
sad bird in snow: Well, it'd be nice to get to know you more as a person? Properly?
sad bird in snow: for better or for worse I am trying to un-complicate my romantic life and only sort of succeeding.

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: I would love to get to know you, too! :D
Lily Pads: I'm really glad to hear that, though.
Lily Pads: Since you thought it was only a dream it doesn't mean you're interested in anything at all.
Lily Pads: But you're very charming, poetic, and cute, so I can only see my life as being richer for having you in it!

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: You've got to be the nicest person to exist.
sad bird in snow: ...I guess there's a lot of us who have a fondness for poetry, now.

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: You're so sweet to say as much,
Shrike, thank you!
Lily Pads: WE SHOULD START A CLUB MAYBE!
Lily Pads: But some of the people I know who are into it are sooo particular about who they hang with.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: is it Vergil
sad bird in snow: I'm his daughter-in-law, I can make him show up

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: OH ARE YOU?
Lily Pads: I had no idea that's really cool!
Lily Pads: Yeah, I was thinking Verge, and I get the feeling Raven is also like that.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: Well, if you already know Raven—
sad bird in snow: er, he and I are dating? So we're already well acquainted.
sad bird in snow: My friend Persephone doesn't get out much but he's an avid reader of poetry, also—he's just a bit quiet and... well, I guess he's also a bit choosy about his company.

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: Wait, wait, wait.
Lily Pads: You're dating Raven?
Lily Pads: While being married to NERO?
Lily Pads: Giiiirl, Get It!

[is that, like, illegal? whatever, SHRIKE IS AMAZING]

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: you see why I'm trying to simplify
sad bird in snow: FOR THE RECORD neither of us knew he was sort-of related at the time he started aggressively flirting with me and honestly have you met that family
sad bird in snow: that is the least of their problems.

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: I see why you are trying to simplify.
Lily Pads: Leaving aside the fundamentals of that entanglement
Lily Pads: Spardas just on their own are kind of a lot, lol.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: They're a lot but they are all trying their best.
sad bird in snow: I'm glad they're making other friends!

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: They suuuure are!
Lily Pads: I am glad to be friends with them.
Lily Pads: They're a special bunch.
Lily Pads: It's a bit new for me with Raven but I do like him a ton and I will write him twenty more poems if that is what it takes.
Lily Pads: He's really cute.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: oh, he'll really like you.
sad bird in snow: he's weak to poetry. I'd say don't tell him I said that but it's pretty obvious.

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: It's blisteringly obvious.
Lily Pads: He was playing hard to get and I composed him something and he was thoroughly devastated.
Lily Pads: And then tried to act like he wasn't when I pointed it out a little.
Lily Pads: Again, he's really cute.

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: oh, that's really sweet.
sad bird in snow: he really is cute! he's the sort of person who kind of wants to be spoiled so I'm glad there's a lot of people willing to do it

[failedsafe]

Lily Pads: Oh, is that so?
Lily Pads: I do love to spoil people, so I'll keep that in mind.
Lily Pads: Some people don't like it as much.
Lily Pads: But it'd be worth it to see his face again.
Lily Pads: Even if he gets grumpy after.
Lily Pads: Especially if he gets grumpy after.
Lily Pads: But you also seem to want to be spoiled~

[softlyfalling]

sad bird in snow: do I?
sad bird in snow: Well, definitely not quite in the same way as him.
sad bird in snow: He's definitely kind of standoffish at first but I think you'll win him over.



sad bird in snow: Is it weird that I'm giving advice on this?
