... ha.

[ she is

trying to figure out what kind of laugh that is. ]

[applechemist]

It's nice to see everyone having a good time.

[ ... ]

Sorry that some of it was at your expense.

[vigilantics]

... I'm gonna be honest, this is literally the least messy relationship drama I have ever been in? So I'm fine with it.

[applechemist]

What - really?

[ she. she can't even fathom messy relationship drama, her life and relationships are all so mellow. ]

[vigilantics]

Haha, yeah.

[ she sounds amused. ]

I could sell so many movie rights.

[applechemist]

What are movie rights?

[vigilantics]

... I see we are starting from the beginning.

Do you know what movies are?

[applechemist]

Yeah. They had them on the ship. With the ogres.

[vigilantics]

... ah. Right. Shrek.

[ dick mentioned that. ]

Movie rights just mean that if there's some story out there, you get the rights to make it into a movie.

[applechemist]

... Like when you refuse to share a secret recipe with someone?

[ Escha's brain: Anything → Alchemy? ]

[vigilantics]

[ steph is now assuming escha is part of some cookie empire ]

... yes. Kind of like that.

[applechemist]

[ She Tries. ]

Oh - does that mean you can't tell those stories, then?

[vigilantics]

No, you can still tell them. You just very specifically can't make a film about it unless you have the rights to it, if the story doesn't originally belong to you.

[applechemist]

[ oh wtf this notif got lost. ]

So then you can tell me some of your messy relationship drama!

[ thanks for volunteering! ]

[vigilantics]

That's cute.

[ steph is

very amused. ]

[applechemist]

Aw.

[ She doesn't look that disappointed though. Even asking was because she's been drinking; usually it would be Well Out Of The Scope Of Her Politeness. ]

[vigilantics]

I don't even know which messy story you're interested in.

[applechemist]

[ She shrugs. ]

I don't know. I've never really heard that kind of story at all, really.

[vigilantics]

... seriously? No juicy gossip or anything?

[applechemist]

[ Escha shakes her head. The only people she usually interacts with are coworkers, that is inappropriate work conversation! ]

Nope.

[vigilantics]

Sad...

[ sad. ]

Okay. I'll give you the spark notes version. I confessed to Belph, he told me had to think about it, then Hikage confessed to me, and I told him I was waiting on Belph, and then he told me Belph was cool. And here we are.

[applechemist]

Oh, that doesn't sound that messy. That sounds like Belph just needs to hurry up and finish thinking about it?

[vigilantics]

[ that makes her laugh ]

That might take a while.

[applechemist]

How come? Is he an over-thinker?

[vigilantics]

... a little.

But when he originally said that to me, he was under the impression we would be going home to my world. I don't think he wants to consider romance while all this murder is happening.
