I just mean she wants to steal you as my friend
To be her friend
I’m going to shut up now
I laugh at the number of messages that pour in over thespan of five seconds. He definitely has a thing for the word-vomit, even in text. Perhaps especially in text.
Please never shut up
SconesOfAyor:
Good because I don’t know how to
Also Emily wants to know if you knit
I crochet, does that count?
I have to wait nearly a full minute for the response, and I find myself staring at the chat window the entire time. I wish I could say I had better things to do on a Sunday afternoon, but of course I never do.
SconesOfAyor:
She says that’s acceptable
Congratulations, you are now the proud recipient of my sister’s undying devotion
She’s now telling me that’s a weird way for me to say it but I stand by my decision
I promise to take good care of it
SconesOfAyor:
Anxiety—and something else, something even more unwelcome—swells in my chest at the sight of a heart, despite the fact that Victory and I text each other heart emojis no less than three thousand times a day. But it’s not something Damien and I do, ever. In fact, he hardly uses emojis at all.
I’m trying not to read too much into it, but?—
SconesOfAyor:
That was from her, for the record
Of course.
Duly noted
SconesOfAyor:
sorry if my brother is being weird but he’s weird and you just have to get used to it
That was also from her
I AM A BUTTHEAD
-__-
I still want to trade sisters
Another minute passes without a response, and then two, and I tell myself not to take it personally. But I keep wondering if I finally did it, if I finally became too weird for him. I shove the thought aside and open one of my oldSOA3saves, feeling the need for something comforting and familiar right now.
I hadn’t gotten very far with this one—I’d only just recruited Sammy and had not even started his quest line yet. His companion quest line is one of my favourites in the entire game, besides Hadley’s, although Damien was right: romancing him is really creepy because he practically worships you by the end if you choose all the dialogue options necessary to earn enough points with him.
