Well, goddammit.

I've spent like a year and a half working for Stark, minding my own business, staying out of trouble, and letting pretty much everyone that works around me believe that I was a local just like them. Nobody ever had any idea that I was an 'import,' and I was fine with that. I pass for normal just fine. But not anymore. Dammit, I don't even know why, but one of the secretaries was hassling me about a work party for Christmas and I just up and blurted it out. That I'm not even from here.

Dammit!

At least it got her off my back. Not the import thing, the whole diatribe about why I don't want any part of those plans and get that damn mini-tree off the empty desk thank you very much. I might not have liked Weaz by the time he got ported out of here but at least I can keep his desk from being the site of any stupid trees.

....and why the hell am I even bothering to tell you people this?

[ Haruka is confused. But she should probably say hi to all her floor neighbors anyway... ] Um, everything all right?

[same then] oh god is she on 10th Floor too? XD

[hackeralastair]

Eh. It's nothing serious. I just like to complain, I guess.

she's with Himuro down a few rooms. thank god for SOME still existing CR.

[precog-princess.livejournal.com]

Everyone needs to, sometimes.

yaay although OH NO GIRLS

[hackeralastair]

...hang on, do I know you?

SHE'S THIRTEEN HOW IS THAT SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT

[precog-princess.livejournal.com]

Oh! Um... I uh. Just moved onto the floor. I figured I should say hello.

I'm Haruka.

[shiromadoushi]

... you too, huh?

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

Well at least I didn't have my cat post this. You can blame me for it.

Speaking of which, man, those cats.

[shiromadoushi]

The same always saying far more than you meant, I mean.


... what about them? Is Aome still bothering you? I haven't seen her around much...

[hackeralastair]

One of 'em tries to body-slam my bedroom door open if I leave it cracked so Kyosuke knows he can come in. I don't know which one it is, though.

[notsoloyal]

[He's grinning on the inside.]

Something troubling you?

[hackeralastair]

Nah, not really. I guess I just felt the need to vent.

You know publicly. It's not even that serious! I mean, why should I care if the idiots at work know I'm an import? They knew I was gay all along and didn't give a crap.

[notsoloyal]

You should not. If they have a problem with that fact, it is their own issue, not yours.

[hackeralastair]

Yeah, I know. You're right.

What is with people anyway?

[Voice]

[allthecards]

She works for an import, she wouldn't care about you.

Do you ever use your brain?

[Voice]

[hackeralastair]

Hey, don't think I don't see 'em whispering in the break room sometimes about the weirdos that work for Stark and all the porting in and out stuff.

[Voice]

[allthecards]

You worry too much about what other people think.

If they're lower rank than you their opinions shouldn't matter.

[Voice]

[hackeralastair]

....you've never faced prejudice, have you, Kaiba?

[voice]

[satisfiedsigner]

You're not the only one.

She didn't care, did she?

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

Something happen?

...Iiiii don't know, I snarled a bit about the holidays. I think she was more freaked out about that.

[voice]

[satisfiedsigner]

I blurted some stuff to that girl down the hall and one of the bartenders and a couple of those idiots ringing bells outside store. Nothing really important to those last ones.

Well good. I know most people don't seem to care anymore, but you never know.

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

...dude we have girls on our floor now, what the hell is that?

But you should cut the Salvation Army guys a little slack, they're just trying to help.

Yeah, that was kind of what I was thinking. You never know when someone's gonna suddenly start hating you because you happen to have gotten dragged into the world by a machine nobody can control.

[voice]

[coldempress.livejournal.com]

Everyone's awfully talkative all of a sudden.

Not a holiday person, I take it?

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

I'm usually pretty talkative...just not on the comms. I stopped giving a shit a while ago.

[a bark of a laugh] Uh. No.

[voice]

[coldempress.livejournal.com]

Not just you. Seems like some people are a little extra honest lately.

I guess that's an understatement.

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

...yeah, it's kinda weird, I guess.

Heh, it is. But I'm not gonna go into they whys and hows, I've exhausted that rant for this year.
