third ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe your chroma's a little low after all that holiday shopping and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

[She stares out into the abyss and the abyss stares back.]

You're supposed to be the smarter one, you know.

[tigerpoet]

Atsushi doesn't have much formal education, that's not his fault. I'm sure we're about equally intelligent.

[is this being mean to Atsushi, because please do not]

[fatestaydead]

[That's--

Hm.

Hmmm]

That's not what I meant.

Atsushi, you really can't be so blind as to how much you mean to all of us, right? Whatever kind acts you might think of as 'nothing' or 'not much' or 'natural' means the world to us.

[tigerpoet]

...I know the world has been very unkind to you. And if I'm able to lighten your burdens even a bit, or make you smile, I'm grateful for that.

You are all very precious to me.

[This isn't a direct answer to the question.]

[fatestaydead]

So how does that not translate to "nicest guy"? Are you saying we're wrong to think of you like that? Are you pretending to be nice to gain something from us?

[tigerpoet]

I would never imply either of those things! Or do anything like that to you!

I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm saying.

[That they deserve better is what he's trying to say, but if he says that she'll just scold him more.]

[fatestaydead]

Is it really so hard to admit you're a nice person with many people who love you?

[tigerpoet]

Self-esteem is really not my strong point.

[So yes, it is actually that hard.]

But I do love you all, and I do my best for you.

[fatestaydead]

And it's the same for us. You can't escape it.

[tigerpoet]

I suppose I can't. But I don't really want to escape you in the first place.
