How can you make yourself fall out of love with someone?

Or better yet: how do you stop someone from falling in love with you?

[But he's definitely just asking for a friend and not for himself at all. He definitely didn't get a canon update or anything, nope.]

Comments

[inabluemoon]

Absolutely not! I've tried to irritate her already but it somehow only had the opposite effect so that option isn't on the table.

I didn't ask for you to try and sell me on companionship. Don't assume that you know what's best for me.

[wildlinks]

Huh. It reminds me of one of my friends in a way.

If you really don't like her (but I have a suspicion you do), you should openly tell her that. Anything else can keep her hopes up.

Selling would involve money.

[...]

Would it hurt you to try? Come to pottery class with me :)

[inabluemoon]

So do you think acting aloof and telling her I hated her would do the job?

But stop trying to distract from the subject! And I'm not doing anything with you!

[How is this person already getting on his nerves as much as Roland?!]

[wildlinks]

Hmmm I don't think she took you seriously because you avoided the subject. Maybe she took your aloofness as 'he's embarrassed to talk about how he feels'

Why not? It's really cathartic, I found out. You make something out of clay that you hate and then you smash it. It feels nice.

[Souji's not known for giving up on people, regardless of their personality. He managed to befriend a gangster that loves to knit and the person that openly told him that they hate him.]

[inabluemoon]

I only even approached her in the first place because I was certain that there was no way that she would ever like me. It seemed to be going perfectly at first!

That seems like such a waste of effort. Why not just fight someone or break something else?

[Well then he'd better be prepared for a higher difficulty contender, because the last two guys who have tried to bond with Vanitas have both almost gotten stabbed for their troubles. And that's only counting the ones back home.]

[wildlinks]

Some things just happen you know. You have no control over them as much as you want. Especially when it comes to the feelings of other people.

Well, fighting anyone would waste my hard-earned chroma

[not that hard-earned but summoning a persona is tasking]

Breaking regular plate is not the same.
Of course, you don't HAVE to break it. It's just an option

[inabluemoon]

People are easy to manipulate.

[Usually. In fact he generally prides himself on being able to exploit peoples' weak points and emotions.]

Whatever! The point is I'm not doing pottery with you. I don't even know you.

[wildlinks]

That makes you feel good?

[You just admitted that and therefore you can't manipulate him. Take that!]

What about guitar class? You can shred some rock and emotions on strings!

Oh! I'm Souji. Nice to meet you, Not-In-Love-san.

[inabluemoon]

[Aaaand he's just ignoring that question.]

Now you're just spouting off nonsense!

Plus I didn't ask your name! And don't call me that!

[wildlinks]

[ Aaaand that tells Souji more than enough ]

Am I? I think it's true! I can play trombone and tuba. We can make a band.

Oh? How should I call you then?

[inabluemoon]

Absolutely not.

You shouldn't talk to me at all! Don't call me anything!

[wildlinks]

Knitting? Embroidery? Singing maybe? Dancing? OH! Drama classes! I love those.

But you asked a question. Clearly you want to talk

[What is this social link? Tower? Feels like Tower.]

[inabluemoon]

[Listen Souji the LAST thing Vanitas needs is lessons in being dramatic.]

I wanted advice, not to socialize.

[wildlinks]

[Well maybe he can channel it and get ton of money?]

Why do those have to exclude each other?

[inabluemoon]

Why are you so irritatingly persistent?!

[This person-!! Ugh people who don't take his disdain seriously throw him off his game so badly...]

[wildlinks]

?
Because I know I'm not doing anything bad and you seem like you need someone to hear you out
I'm good at listening

[inabluemoon]

There's nothing else worth saying on the matter.

[wildlinks]

Are you sure?

Because even if it's text, I can still feel you are troubled by this

[inabluemoon]

Of course I'm troubled! This is the worst!

[wildlinks]

Then let's talk about it. Keeping it in yourself won't help

And not over the network either.

[Accept. The help. And friendship.]

You don't have to do anything I say and suggest

[inabluemoon]

Well talking about it isn't doing much either so far.

[Hisses!!]

Don't you have anything better to do?

[wildlinks]

It will work out eventually. The more you talk, the better clarity of things you will get.

[He's an amateur detective, he knows what he's talking about. Maybe.

Oh don't hiss! He loves cats~]

No, not really. I work part-time at the library and cook at home. I take random classes to try new things out that I couldn't back home.

I have plenty of time.

[inabluemoon]

[sdfghj dammit! Ironically he's Sanguis but he definitely acts more like a grumpy cat.]

So you're just a busybody.

[wildlinks]

[Winning against Souji is hard. Sorry friend. That's perfect, Souji's Iris]

Are you not? You can't spend the entire day in a room, that's just boring and ultimately not healthy.

[inabluemoon]

I never said I did, but I also don't have any interest in most of the things this place has to do. It's just the same thing without end aside from some festival whatever other faction occasionally barges in to cause trouble and it makes me go stir-crazy.

[His hobbies here pretty much include drinking, reading, and sitting in very high places.]
