voicemail.

[coastal]

[Following the "record your voicemail at the beep" message--]

What? Who gave you the right to order me around? -- W-Wait, was that the beep?

I wasn't prepared--!! [a whispered hiss:] How do you get this thing to stop-?!

[Beep!

You know the drill! IC Inbox for voice/video/action threads for whatever occasion.]

Comments

[cresthopes]

Y-Yeah but...

[Oh man oh man, how does Takeru handle this??] You seem like you are? That's kind of how my brother would react if my friends and I might do something wrong!

[Well, not so much him and more like his friends but...]

[coastal]

[ . . . and she just makes an aggravated noise at that-]

I'm getting tired of repeating myself! I wasn't angry but if you keep questioning it, then do you want me to be angry?!

[cresthopes]

N-No...

[Here Lili, have the poor boy looking like he was starting to cry a bit!]

I just...you just kind of remind me a little of my brother. ...That's all.

[coastal]

[Oh god.

Lili's a cryer herself - but she's not used to this at all. It stops her in her tracks as she suddenly panics.]

W-Well.... I-I'm not your brother so, it's not like I'm mad?!

[is that what he's worried about]

[cresthopes]

T-That's not...

[He said between his sniffles] No, you just remind me of him a lot and I just miss him. T-That's all!

[coastal]

[jfc she wasn't prepared for this.

It gets her to pause a little bit as she turns to Takeru with a look of... well, utter befuddlement?]

How can I remind you of him, you don't even know me....

But - don't... cry? You'll see him again soon enough, I'm sure...!

[cresthopes]

Well....it's just that whenever someone gets hurt or something, he would do the same thing too? I don't know why but I guess he just does that?

[He said between his sniffles]

And you just reminds me a little of that...

[coastal]

[How does she stop.... reminding him of that.... good god, she feels so awkward.]

I can't speak for your brother, you know.... I've never met him.

[cresthopes]

I know and I wish that you could. I think the both of you would get along really well!

Because I think you two have the same personality!

[For better or for worse.........]

[coastal]

[ . . . . ]

No, I don't think I'd like that at all.

[EVEN SHE KNOWS THAT SHE'S HARD TO GET ALONG WITH]

[cresthopes]

You really don't?

[...]

Well...I think you two would. But maybe when he shows up, would you like to meet him still?

[coastal]

... Are you going to cry again if I say no?

[cresthopes]

[He shook his head]

No because I know my brother isn't always the nicest person to talk to. And he can get a little mean sometimes and make people cry too.

[Because Yamato the more tsundere to have ever tsun in their group of friends. But yeah....WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT LILI??]

[coastal]

[ . . . okay hold on.]

Excuse me? What did you just call me?

[cresthopes]

[Uh-oh, did he say something bad?]

Uh...that's not...that's not what I meant...!

[Now what?]

[coastal]

[Huff! Alas, she doesn't take kindly to being called mean and making people cry.]

It doesn't matter. Just keep moving.
