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

[And for most of that information, Lili takes it to heart! It's very important! She'll slowly build up her little army of minions based off of this.

Except when she gets to Yuri she already bristles a little bit because well. Lili doesn't like people normally and Yuri hasn't done a lot to improve that standing. So the mentions of a strong character and being very pretty....

Honestly-]

Are we talking about the same Yuri that made the announcement to the network the other day?

[The soft-spoken and annoyingly forward meek one?]

[niceguypose]

Yes, that is correct! :D

Are you friends with her as well, Lili?!

[coastal]

No.

[S-SO FAST??? But she gets the feeling that Lee likes this girl (for some odd reason?! Lili, don't be rude) so that's why she doesn't continue the thought of "I don't associate with useless people."

uh.]

I take it that you are, though. Why?

[WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT]

[niceguypose]

[That is a very quick answer. But Lee imagines that Lili must have seen her post and not answered it. It makes sense; Lili can be very shy, Lee believes. So he goes on.]

Because she is a very splendid person! She has shown me nothing but kindness and acceptance since we first met. She has been through a lot, and I want to do my best to be there for her and to help her! We've talked a lot about each other's worlds, as well. It is a very strong bond that we have formed, and I am glad for every time that I can help here to smile!

You would enjoy being her friend very much! : D

[coastal]

[Mmmmmmmmmmm no.

No on so very many accounts. Lili absolutely answered and it ended up in a bit of a squabble because Lili doesn't get along with girls her own age. And she doesn't think that she would like being Yuri's friend at all because the other girl irritates her intensely.

Except.

She doesn't irritate Lee... so.... and Lili likes Lee a lot.... so...

There's a bit of a choking noise on her end and she wants to just bury her face into a pillow because this is mortifying what does she say?]

You sound very fond of her.

[Like.

Exuberantly so.

And he thinks that she's pretty?

This isn't painting a pleasant picture for Lili, even though she does treasure Lee's happiness.]

[niceguypose]

I am very fond of her! Why would I not be? Something about being around her always puts me at ease! It is so very refreshing and heartwarming!

[coastal]

[See, this all very clearly points to signs of a crush.

Except Lili's never had a crush on anyone before and doesn't know how to register positive feelings even a little bit so.

So she's sitting here like "I wonder if he's interested in her."

For fuck's sake-]

What an odd feeling you describe. [??? Has she ever felt that way around someone.... yona, maybe?!] I suppose I am relieved to hear of your happiness...

[niceguypose]

Is that so? I am glad that you are relieved to hear it, Yuri!

[A thoughtful pause.]

I did not think of it that way. but when you put it like that...

...Yes! I am very happy to know Yuri! I wonder, does she feel happy as well?!

[coastal]

[THIS ANSWER COMES FAR MORE QUICKLY AND FIRMLY:]

If she doesn't feel happy with you then she's a fool. Make sure that you know that! It's important for her to like you just as much because if she doesn't then obviously she doesn't realize how [great and encouraging and helpful and supportive and kind] important you are.

[JUST.

SAYING.]

[niceguypose]

Lili! I admire your sentiments! She has told me that I am important. But-

But I do not want to judge her if she feels differently about me!! It is okay!

[coastal]

It is absolutely not okay! That would just make her completely blind to how good she has it.

[NOT BUDGING]

[niceguypose]

I- I do not know!!

But, Lili,

do you consider our friendship to be a good thing?

[coastal]

[THEY'RE NOT FRIENDS

EXCEPT

THE IDEA OF SAYING THAT TO SOMEONE AS EARNEST TO LEE IS DIFFICULT???? So texting comes in handy as she thinks of a way to... av...oid... answering that....]

I do not regret my association with you.

[SWERVE.]

[niceguypose]

You do not???

Ahhh!! LILI!!! I AM HAPPY TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU AS WELL!!

<3!

[1/2]

[coastal]

sdlkjf

[so

she threw her phone across the room]

[coastal]

[several moments later

after she screamed into a pillow because EMBARRASSING and then

walked over to pick her phone back up]

What is <3

[MOVING

RIGHT ON]

[niceguypose]

Are you alright? : (

Or, was that a code just now?!

<3 is a heart, Lili!

[coastal]

I'm fine and I have nothing worth sending you in code, you idiot.

Why would you be sending me a heart?

[niceguypose]

I am glad to hear that!

Ah, because of how much I care about our friendship, of course! From the bottom of my heart!

[coastal]

Now you're being embarrassing again!

[niceguypose]

I am only being honest!

<3!!!

[coastal]

Stop! Don't send me hearts! I don't want to see them! Our relationship isn't like that!

[niceguypose]

I will not send them if they hurt you, Lili! : (

But, I thought that this relationship was one of happiness and caring!

[coastal]

They don't hurt me. They're just pictures! Don't be stupid.

I just don't want to see them.

[niceguypose]

I understand. Then I will express myself using words instead!

Lili, I care about you a lot and I am happy for our friendship! I appreciate it and you a lot!
