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?

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.

[shiromadoushi]

It would have to be Aome. Pelor wouldn't be bothered doing something like that.

[hackeralastair]

Cats. I just don't get 'em.

[shiromadoushi]

They aren't that hard to understand. They're sort of like people. Only more entitled.

[hackeralastair]

More entitled...I don't think that's possible. [snort]

I think they're just crazy.

[shiromadoushi]

...Crazy?

[[sounding like he thinks you're the mad one]]

[hackeralastair]

[brain-to-mouth filter is disengaged]

Yeah. What?

[shiromadoushi]

...

Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it crazy, Oniichan...

[[likewise]]

[hackeralastair]

It was just a joke, Bakura. Lighten up!

I mean sometimes I think Aome might be missing a few brain cells but I didn't mean that literally!

[shiromadoushi]

[[sigh]] Wasn't a very good one.

And I know you don't like Aome.

[hackeralastair]

Says you. Look, I don't like cats, okay? I didn't care one way or the other about Aome while Saitou was here, but now he's gone and she's his cat and I don't know why we're keeping her when he might not come back this time!

[shiromadoushi]

We're not kicking her out just because he isn't back yet.

[hackeralastair]

Even though she doesn't like Kyosuke and is an annoying little shit around me?

I mean sure, it's not as bad as it used to be, she's warmed up to him a little but still.

[shiromadoushi]

She's Saitou-san's cat. And he'll be back, he always comes back. Sometimes it just takes a while

[hackeralastair]

[grumble] Yeah, yeah, same reason Kyosuke won't get rid of her. I miss the guy too but you don't see me crying over his socks or something.

[shiromadoushi]

[[just a sigh]]

I cried a lot when Kogenta-kun was Ported out. Long after he was gone. [[winces a little. God he sounded like a girl there]] It just happens when someone you care about is taken away.

[hackeralastair]

.....yeah?

Well, I'm not you, Bakura. Besides, everybody in the whole damn city knows how pissed I get when someone I care about is ported out.

[shiromadoushi]

Then you don't have to be so down on Kiryuu-kun about it.

It's like you can't go a day without being a jerk about something...

aaah sorry I had to

[satisfiedsigner]

We're keeping her because she's Saitou's cat. You don't have to take care of her if you don't want; I'll do it all.

I figured he'd notice XD

[hackeralastair]

Fine. I just wish you could stop her from head-butting my door open at 3 am and then running off.

[satisfiedsigner]

[okay he might have to snicker a little at that]

You know she doesn't listen to me.

[hackeralastair]

Yeah, I know.

She still claw you all the time?

[satisfiedsigner]

No, she's been nicer. I think...she misses Saitou as much as I do.

[hackeralastair]

I'm sorry...I miss him too. Maybe not the same as you do, but you two were closer.
