[Okay, now she's not just bored and unhappy. She's bored, unhappy and mildly sick. Or what feels like being a little sick anyhow.]

So this starts off like a cold, right? How bad is it going to end up getting.

Just find someone who isn't irritating and come to an agreement. Anyone who takes it personally's an idiot.

[maipokerface]

And there's enough not idiots around here for that option to even work?

[agelostdoll]

...


Hopefully.

[maipokerface]

[And now in a tone as dry as a dead leaf with the vaguest hint of sarcasm.]

So this is what being doomed feels like.

[Asuka just shrugs]

Eh. If this is the worst that's happened to you, you've lived a happy life.

[maipokerface]

Happiness is subjective. I'm not much of a philosopher though so that's all I've got to say about it.

[agelostdoll]

...That sounds like an excuse to always be grumpy.

[maipokerface]

[HUFF.]

So I should be thrilled about everything and everyone?

[agelostdoll]

Of course not, but if everything as bad as everything else, where's the perspective?

[Okay, that's... Mai doesn't have a good answer. What the hell, Asuka.

She just sort of... looks at her.]

[maipokerface]

I never said everything was as bad as everything else. Not everything is bad.

[It's the best retort she's got. And that annoys her. Yeah there's good things out there - her former relationship had been one of them. But the stupid things, the deceitful people and the plain stupidity of life seemed so much heavier.]

[FEAR THE POWER OF BEING ACTUALLY 28]

Exactly.

Well, trust me, letting the symptoms continue is worse; I tried it myself to see how full of shit they were. Anyone here you know?

[maipokerface]

[You damn adults and your knowledge.]

No.

[Maybe Ty Lee would have been alright. She can't imagine Azula giving a hug though. Unless it involved crushing ribs.]

[agelostdoll]

We~eell you're just going to have to go out and make friends.

Sucks to be you.

[yes there is a total maturity advantage over here]

[maipokerface]

[This is the face of unhappiness.]

I don't have a problem making friends. I have a problem being forced to.

[agelostdoll]

Well yeah, that's fine, but you're still stuck for options kid.

[maipokerface]

I know that.

[It isn't said bitterly or anything. She fully understands the bad position she's in. And she's "adult" enough to understand what she needs to do.

It's just... nnngh.]
