Forty-Eighth Explosion

...Y'know, there's been a lot of kidnappings lately, hasn't there? I mean there's been bigger drop-offs before and such, but in the last week or two there's been a lot. Thing is, I mean I hadn't been here all that long last summer but I seem to remember something similar happening last summer. I don't think we had a calender though so I'm not sure if it's the exact same time or anything.

...Whatever. Stupid aliens.

[Pause, grunt, and then some clothes rustling] Doesn't look like rain today.... Oi! Rena! Shiki! Porcupine! Any and all members of the SOS-Brigade! Summer's no good if you don't enjoy it properly, so in the absence of a public pool we're going swimming at the main lake! [Another pause, and then a sigh] When it warms up or something. It's still muddy-looking outside.

...Jeez. [And then there's the sound of some clothes rustling again before he stands up and clicks this thing off]

...Whatever man. It's the logical conclusion.

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

I don't exactly expect that sort of thing from you on a regular basis.

A planet's will... I like it. I'll definitely be adding this angle to my work.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Speaking of, you making any progress on that in-between dancing around that Reimi chick?

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

What in the hell are you babbling about?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

You and that girl who you clearly have a thing for.

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

How you manage to go from genius to blithering idiot in one statement is something that is entirely beyond me.

You have no clue what's going on between Reimi and I and don't pretend you do.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

I know that you're a dumbass and she's bullheaded which naturally means there's some annoying friction for everyone who isn't you or her to stop and stare at. 'Sides, I don't want to know what's going on there. That's your deal, after all.

I just wanna know how the new volume's coming.

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

I told you not to pretend you know what's going on.

The new volume is doing fine, thank you. I should have it up and out soon.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

I'm not pretending anything, moron. Any idiot can see that type of stuff just based on what she says.

But good. What about that census thing with the drawings?

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

...what do you mean "what she says"?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

That I've talked with the chick before?

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

And just what did you talk about?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

All sorts of stuff. Why?

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

Don't play this game with me. Tell me what the hell you two talked about?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Dude. You're an adult and a writer and you're pushing to hear what a sixteen year old said to some chick? Jeez.

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

She's not just "some chick" to me.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

What's that even supposed to mean? It's not like her being some special interest for you makes her some special interest for me and it sure doesn't make you entitled to know everything which happens between her and other people, dumbass.

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

I just want to know what you two specifically talked about!

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

We talked about how some people are stupid!

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

...Why am I even having this conversation. You're useless.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Because you're a lovesick moron?

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

...Moron, maybe, but it's far more complicated than that.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Dude. Go take a nap or something, you almost sound like a normal person.

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

Sign of the apocalypse, I'm sure.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yeah pretty much.
