14: An explanation please.

[samuraiprosecutor]

How did you all get these things into my apartment?

And in case anyone still wishes to say it, I would prefer no 'Happy Holidays' or 'Merry Christmas' or any other such nonsense. It's a relief to have this foolishness over with for another year.

I...slept well last night. It won't last, but I suppose I can enjoy it while it does.


((OOC: Since Edgeworth's not saying it [because, well, he's Edgeworth], thank you to the characters who got him presents. :D His schwag list is as follows, as far as I've seen. If anyone else got him anything feel free to comment and mention it. The fact that he got anything at all confuses him greatly.

Bourne: A selection of nice black teas
Mikaela: Gourmet dog treats for Sigi
Lisa Cuddy: A warm scarf and a book [his choice really]
Possibly something from Zelos, should I assume he got it, Yami?))

If your hair has memories, perhaps you need someone more specialized than a stylist.

Buddies? Judging from the ones that were here before you, it does seem almost a requirement.

Lemme guess: you know who your parents are; you grew up in a nice house where there was always a fridge full of food; and when you realized you had a name, it wasn't "hey, you!" You've never had to wonder who you're parents are; you've never had to hope you can find a comfortable place with the hobos; you've never had to hope that when you use the five-finger discount for a fucking apple, your legs can carry you fast enough before a soldier shoots you down; and you've never had to make up your own name. Everything's been constant for you; my hair is the only thing that has been for me.

You are his friend, aren't you?

The next time you decide to pull out that story, perhaps you should find out more about the person you're trying it on first. Not everyone is going to be impressed. Though, oddly enough, you are right on all counts. My life must have been an idyllic one.

I wonder which is worse: having no constants, or losing the only constants that actually matter?

You would have to ask him that.

[lol-shinigami.livejournal.com]

What the hell makes you think I was trying to impress you? You pushed it; I only gave the reason why I won't cut my hair. You think I was actually trying to get something like sympathy from you? Tch, don't fucking flatter yourself.

Depends on what you think matters. I'd rather lose them. Guess we should've swapped lives.

I know his answer. What's yours?

[samuraiprosecutor]

The tone of your writing. If you were only looking to give a reason, your last sentence would have more than sufficed.

Judging from your comments, something you didn't have. Which again begs the question, does it hurt less if you don't know what you're missing? Is ignorance truly bliss?

That is between him and me.

[lol-shinigami.livejournal.com]

...Dude, whatever. I don't know you, and you don't know me; I got a little too worked up, and you're taking this too far. This isn't worth half the shit it's causing.

Which is a "yes." Got cha.

[samuraiprosecutor]

I'm taking things too far?

Are you so sure?

[lol-shinigami.livejournal.com]

dkjfsl You're the one who won't drop it now, so uh, yeah.

Is there a reason you're trying to make me think otherwise?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Consider it dropped. Though it was a very...telling conversation.

Not particularly. Your opinion on the matter means nothing to me, so I would have no reason to make you see it one way or the other. Merely pointing out that you don't know my answer, and you won't.

[lol-shinigami.livejournal.com]

If that's the case, why can't you just say "yeah, we're friends"?

[samuraiprosecutor]

You're still operating on the assumption that we are.

[lol-shinigami.livejournal.com]

You really haven't given me a reason to think otherwise.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Think what you will, then. As I said, your opinion won't make it right or wrong.

[lol-shinigami.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right~.
