[Voice] Shifting Incompability

[unseenspy]

It would seem that I'll be joining the draft after all.

[Normally he'd be feeling confident about it, but the shifting incompatibility unsettles him.]

Perhaps some of you may know what sort of possible effects we'd suffer as a result of this shifting incompatibility. Has this ever happened before?

Yes, we had lunch, but that was two weeks ago. When you disappeared, I didn't see you until later that week, when that willow tree appeared in the plaza.

Of course I'm fine!

[Okay, he's just confused now.]

What are you talking about? Do you remember anything?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Us-us-usaaaaa? We had lunch LAST WEEK? It's... been a whole week?

Not again...

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

What do you mean "not again?" What are you talking about?

I just got here after we had lunch Jay. And a whole week went by... I think I teleported into the future again...

I'm really sorry Jay. You seemed like a really nice guy! We should try to have lunch again!

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

You teleported into the future?

[That just seems weird.]

You have the wrong impression of me. I'm not really that nice.

[He actually is, though it's more difficult to get him to be nice. And lunch doesn't sound like a bad idea either.]

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

I think so anyway. Someone's told me I did it before...

But, I remember you being really nice to me Jay. [[Not that they were being all squishy at all!]]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I was influenced by the experiment, that's all.

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

There was an experiment?

Really? I didn't even notice!

Does that mean... we can't be friends... Jay?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that...I'm just...

[Now he's trailing into awkward territory.]

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Just...?

Uwaaa... I'm so confused now...

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

The feeling is mutual. [Sigh...]

Just forget it...

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

But... I don't want to. I wanna be us friends, Jay...

I don't have as many here as I did back home... It's... kind of lonely...

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[He pauses; she really struck a soft spot there. He can't give in right away, but he's been just as lonely, if not more so.]

Fine...just don't expect me to go easy on you.

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Go... easy on me? What do you mean?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Just try not to annoy me.

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

I won't! Promise!

[[She probably will, Jay. Be prepared!]]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Very well.

[He doesn't quite believe you, so he'll be prepared. She might be another Norma in his book.]
