[Someone's been avoiding the Link since the crystals situation righted itself--even as far as his levels of obnoxiousness go, he was embarrassed at how he acted. To the point of actually avoiding his friends It isn't until now that he's able to show his face to the Haven, losing almost all of that cocky attitude and replacing it with...guilt.]

So.

I'm sorry or whatever. For all of that. Wasn't at my best, yeah?

[Private to Gunmax.]

Do you want your bike back or what?

[Private to Ironhide]

Thanks for...you know. All of that.

[He awkwardly rubs his head, looking down.]

And sorry for what I said about you.

[Private to Kagerou]

Oi, Kagebird, stop avoiding me.

I thought it was pretty funny.

[kungfugeek]

[Wow, Sora, you really know how to brighten his day right off the bat. He recognizes you, definitely, giving a little chuckle.]

Bet it was better than TV for you, huh? Weren't you like...sick or something?

[heartdive]

I was! Guess the brown stuff makes you sick. Better now, though.

[kungfugeek]

Glad to hear it, kid! You showed that crystal who was boss.

[His face slightly falters, though, looking away.]

Me, not so much.

[heartdive]

Sure didn't feel like it at the time. And I don't think anyone's gonna blame you, you know. It wasn't your fault.

[Knock Out's going to reply with an ado of Power Joe's voice going all 'Gunmax is mine' and 'It's forever and it's for SURE' because Knock Out's and asshole thinks the joke was too good to pass.]

[kungfugeek]

[You hear that, Knock Out? Yes, all the way from the other side of the temple hallway you can probably hear the groan, and definitely through the Link.]

Did you HAVE to save that?

[deadlydoctor]

Obviously I did. You even thanked me, saying you wanted proof.

Relax bunny, we all did stupid things. [Pause.]The wedding's canceled then?

[kungfugeek]

I wasn't in my right mind! I had a pile of toasters!

[Because that proves it, clearly.]

There's never going to be a wedding. Not to that guy.

[badboybikerbot]

Of course I want it back, you dumb idiot! How about you cough up my dignity while you're at it!

[yeah someone's still pissed]

[kungfugeek]

I said I was sorry! Jeez!

[It's not like anyone saw you get glued to a wall or anything.]


BAH...you're really ugly when you're angry. Asshole.

[badboybikerbot]

I heard you!

[EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE GUY]

And you're always ugly. Your point?

[kungfugeek]

You don't sound like a guy who accepted an apology!

[That one guy is the town goss-wait I think he sees your point.

...


well.]

Are you sure you want your bike back?

[thxforthememories]

I'm not avoiding you.

audio forever

[kungfugeek]

Eh? But I went to your room--you weren't there.

[Someone missed out on your little drunk post.]

[thxforthememories]

... When was that?

[kungfugeek]

Bah...yesterday? Maybe the day before? I've been kinda out of it.


[But wait.]

So you're not mad about any of that?

audio; private

[arnhaid]

[Oh thank everything. PJ sounds more like himself.]

Eh... don't worry about it, kid.

It happened, and it's over.

audio; private

[kungfugeek]

...And you're not mad? I mean...you got every right to be, old man.


I mean that.

audio; private

[arnhaid]

Kid, that wasn't you.

How'm I supposed to get mad at you, when that wasn't you?

[Wait.]

That makin' any sense or am I just... sayin' words?

audio; private

[kungfugeek]

!!

You really think that? I mean, it was obviously me but...I didn't know how to stop it.

[His head hangs, thinking over the events again. It...wasn't a highlight of his life, to say the least.]

No! It means a lot.

[Locked]

[thankyou4myheart]

Power Joe...

[Anything he can think of to say just shows his own ignorance - he had his own shit he was dealing with so he has no idea what PJ did - and his own guilt over the same.]

...no, you weren't at your best. Many of us weren't.

Would you like to go for a drive?

[Locked]

[kungfugeek]

[Either way, it helps a little, especially coming from someone like Deckerd.]

A drive?

[His head hangs, a little glad he's offering to help get it off his mind.]

Yeah...I'd like that. I take it you had some stuff go down too?

[Locked]

[thankyou4myheart]

[Deckard doesn't even attempt to hide the SHAME as he drags a hand down his face.]

Yeah. I said and did some . . . pretty reckless and rude things that I wish I could take back.

Are you at Solus's? I can meet you there.

[Locked]

[kungfugeek]

You and me both, Deckerd.

I'll...Yeah, I'm at Solus's.

[Looks like they have some secret sharing to do. UGH admitting his isn't gonna be easy.]

Meet you there.
