I think it's the whole...

Unapproachable vibe.

[residentmerc]

If I was actually unapproachable, I wouldn't have to deal with this shit.

[ it would be... a great time..... ]

[mygod]

I think the problem is that people see it as a challenge. If you're aloof enough, they come running. It's what happened to my coworkers.

[ they're mean and distant and people keep bothering them for it. ]

[residentmerc]

[ frowning... a little... ]

Aloof...? [ he's trying so hard to be social and this is the thanks he gets!!! ]

[mygod]

[ they cover their mouth with their hand. ]

Are you not going for that...

[residentmerc]

I'm not going for anything.

[ he is trying for cool and badass but no one needs to know that ]

[mygod]

[ no one... his secret... ]

Well, if you don't want to be aloof then it's fine that people think you're neat.

[residentmerc]

Somehow, I don't think that's what makes them want to mess with me.

[ thinking he is neat.

but also yea he wants people to think he's neat his [Lowe voice] praise kink (I wish it was a praise kink) ]

[mygod]

Huh...

[ hm. they think for a moment. ]

Well, you're probably fine. What are the chances of them picking you specifically again?

[residentmerc]

...

They feel higher when you say that.

[ WHAT ARE THE CHANCES INDEED ]

[mygod]

But if I say it the other way, it seems kinda like I'm dooming you to it, too...

[residentmerc]

How 'bout we just stop mentioning it at all.

[mygod]

What would we talk about instead?

[ as if discussing him being cursable was the point of this audience ]

[residentmerc]

Anything else.

[mygod]

Sooo. How's it going?

[residentmerc]

...

[ they just watched an execution... you know what he will give pesto an out ]

How'd you pick those rewards for the--candy stuff?

[mygod]

Oh. From... summoning...

[ ... ]

They were in the closet.

[residentmerc]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[mygod]

Which one did you get again?

[residentmerc]

Stinkbomb.

[ so you can understand his judgment ]

[mygod]

Oh...

[ the amount of long pauses happening here. ]

Are you going to use it...

[residentmerc]

...

We're in close quarters with everybody all the time...

[ he's not sure because this feels like it would simply also be a punishment. for himself.

EVERYONE IS ALREADY STINKY... ]

[mygod]

... ah.

Yeah, good point. Gotta think of the big picture.

[ the big picture of how it will inconvenience yourself ]

[residentmerc]

... I'm not counting it out, though.

[ does he maybe want revenge sometimes. yes. god. ]

[mygod]

You must always keep your resources on hand. After all, maybe one day you will learn who betrayed you.

[ love arrow is betrayal ]
