you know, that gives me an idea

[threewishes]

Hm? And what would be this idea?

[59]

for club penguin. why don't we make it a haunted house?

[threewishes]

[ !! ]

That's a really great idea, Gokudera-san! I think that would be good business, let alone a lot of fun for everyone!

[59]

yeah? i figured people would eat that shit up, if those stupid chain letters are evidence of anything. we could do it throughout the rest of the month, or as an event... i'll ask ryuugazaki what he thinks, but i doubt he'd have anything against it.

[threewishes]

No, hopefully he won't have a problem with it!
I think it would be interesting to work in, personally. Would you like to consider a theme? Or just go for as scary as possible?

[59]

a theme? like what? youkai, ghosts, that sort of thing?

[threewishes]

Well... Maybe something else? But yes, a theme. Like zombies, clowns, asylums... There are a lot of ideas out there.

[59]

i guess if we did a combination, we'd appeal to the most people...

[threewishes]

Yes!! It would be exciting, wouldn't it? But anyway, if you need any help with ideas after you've discussed this with your partner, my inbox is always open to you.
Also, feel free to send the chainmail to me all ten times, if you don't know ten people.

[59]

i'll keep you posted

--OI does it seem like i know less than ten people!?

[threewishes]

Thank you!

I thought that was the image you were going for.

[59]

what kind of image would that be?!

[threewishes]

The troubled, lonely delinquent-type.

Among other things. but I wouldn't want to strain your eyes by typing too much.

[59]

i'm not troubled, lonely, or a fucking delinquent
so you're really off target

1/2

[threewishes]

Really?! Gosh, I'm usually spot-on!

[ an exaggeration. ]

[threewishes]

Well, I figured you're not an ACTUAL delinquent... You do work at Club Penguin, after all. Perhaps it's just your appearance that led me astray.
Otherwise, I foolishly thought I could empathize.

[ It's difficult to get a good reading of Kanbaru, whether she's fucking around or being genuine, whether this is some kind of invitation to talk feelings, or just a trap. He wants to pull back on instinct, but he's been having too many of these conversations lately, so maybe it's too late. ]

what the hell is that supposed to mean?

[threewishes]

[ truthfully, this is a jab that spun out of control and culminated in her attempting to backtrack. but what follows isn't a lie, even if awkward, as she knows it's personal— this is what she gets for leading the conversation down this way! ]

Hmm... I'm not saying we're too alike (far from, especially since you've clarified, and I would rather not demean you in such a way), but when I was younger, I used to have a very difficult time making friends.
The main difference being that it wasn't an image I was trying to project, I suppose, and instead pretty genuine.

[59]

[ That one time he said she wasn't that weird... maybe he should take that back. Maybe that's why she didn't have many friends. It's a testament to his maturity that he doesn't say that outright. Instead, he taps his thumbs against the keys in thought before he types a reply. ]

i'm not trying to project an image. don't make me tell you that again.

anyway kids are stupid. and adults are stupid about kids. and no one really understands anyone else. being lonely and feeling alone isn't that strange, i guess.

but in a place like this, as frustrating as it is to be here involuntarily, it's like a temporary new start.

[ When did he get so uplifting? If only he'd practice all this preaching. ]

[threewishes]

Haha, sorry! I honestly didn't mean to offend you twice.

[ just once, really... but what he says is reassuring to her. she appreciates it, and it brings an unseen smile to her face. honestly, what she's reading now is something that took her years to figure out on her own. ]

I understand now that it was immaturity on my classmates part, yes. But I suppose I can't blame them in that regard; children will be children, after all. [ ... she definitely blamed them at the time, though. but that's a story for another day. ]

Isn't it? It's definitely refreshing in that way (pun only marginally intended ♥). I'm trying to make the most of it in the meanwhile, even if I've done a lackluster job in some aspects thus far.

Thank you, Gokudera-san.
