there's seven things i hate about you....

[hypercompetent]

shut up i totally didn't quote miley cyrus THE TEN THINGS TO TEN PEOPLE MEME
1. post a comment detailing 10 things your character has to say to 10 people! Or more, or less. Do whatever number you think is necessary!

2. don't designate who each number is for! they can be as specific or vague as you want, but no names, just letters/numbers.

3. Other characters can respond (hey is number 3 me? You jerk!), or wonder about the other numbers (you got into a fight with your number 9? who was that?) et cetera, et cetera.

4. Let the heartfelt feelings/awkward miscommunication/passive aggressive bitchiness begin!!

1. I just want to see you happy. I know I don't deserve to, after everything. But you do.

2. You're more like him every day, but you're more like you, too. It's kind of incredible. If I'm like anyone, I hope I'm like you.

3. It's probably weird to be proud of you, but hot damn, dude, you made good.

4. You're like me. That's shitty. But maybe I can help you do better for yourself in some grossly hypocritical yet self-gratifying way, because you seem like a good kid.

5. I miss you and I'm sorry for whatever I end up doing.

6. You'd make a great mom. Don't make this weird.

7. I kind of just realized the reason I don't ask you much about your stuff is because I'd be slightly disquieted to find out I don't already know the answer. I'm supposed to have this on lockdown, but you've had a lifetime to figure yourself out, so if I go to you it'd be about me, and the second anything's about me I'm gone.

8. It's like I'm stuck. Or something's stuck in me, and I can't go forward the way Dave can.

But I don't want you to be gone again.

It's like the center went out of the whole world, and that can only lead to some seriously shitty seismic activity and the death of geology as we know it.

And, you know. I'd grieve.

I never really stopped.

9. Christ you're fucking adorable. Like all the best parts of my favorite two people mashed together except totally your own person too, like your inherent personness is not a thing that has ever not been true.

10. As much as I hate to admit it, you're not that bad.

[Davesprite. This whole list is not okay.]

Is the fifth one John, or Jade?

[Just not going to comment on hers for the moment.]

[crowsicle]

Does it have to be either of them? Maybe it's to Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

[purpleprose]

Ah, of course. How the pull of shitty Paint files and comic sans doth tug at the heartstrings.

[Not buying it, dude.]

But if on some off chance it did refer to our dear friends the
Egbert-Harleys, you wouldn't be the only one to feel that way.

[crowsicle]

[Well, that shuts him up.]

It was Jade. [He can give her that much.] But I miss the doofus, too, of course.

We'll see them again.

[purpleprose]

Yes, we will.

It's just difficult that it won't be for a long while.

[crowsicle]

Could be worse.

[purpleprose]

Yes.

At least you get to spend another few years getting sick of them on the ship, yes?

[crowsicle]

Yyyyeah, about that.

[purpleprose]

What about it?

[crowsicle]

Just something John said one of the times he was here.

[purpleprose]

...what did he say?

[crowsicle]

[WHOOPS time to mumblemumbleavoid]

[purpleprose]

[She's going to give you the patented Lalonde Stare until you open up.]

[crowsicle]

Apparently, I. Break up with Jade.

Which I guess means I date her or something.

[purpleprose]

Oh.

[Hmmm.]

Well, it's not exactly the most surprising thing in the world. We are teenagers left to our own devices on rather secluded means of transport, yes? According to Dave, I myself end up pursuing a flushed quadrant with Kanaya.

However, I am sorry about your apparent future breakup, and hope that it's nothing too serious.

[crowsicle]

Yeah, hell if I know anything. I came here right off the Reckoning.

...Which one's Kanaya?

[purpleprose]

[She laughs.]

I forgot, you're not familiar with her. Basically, fashionable glowing vampire-troll. Green font, capitalizes every word, admirable vocabulary.

[trytryagain]

4?

[crowsicle]

Maybe.

(Yes.)
