NIETZSCHE; DEAD PHILOSOPHERS' INBOX

[TEXT; LOCKED TO doitrockapella]

The offer for conversation is always open, should you desire to take me up on it; I can't guarantee that I'll respond immediately, nor will it necessarily be the response you want, but I'll always respond in some way.

In the name of enlightened discourse.

Sentiment noted, but I won't be passing on the reassurance. He doesn't know about you.

You doubt you could spirit me away, or you doubt you could do it simply?

[explosivecombat]

I doubt you would allow me to.

[doitrockapella]

Flatterer.

I appreciate your faith in my competence.

[explosivecombat]

You wouldn't interest me if I didn't believe you were competent.

[doitrockapella]

Then let me rephrase that — I'm flattered you think my competence outweighs both your machinations and your magnetism.

[explosivecombat]

I only invest my time in those I believe to be worth it.

[doitrockapella]

[HAVE A DELAY OF LIKE IDK TEN MINUTES.]

It's kind of you to make me feel better.

[explosivecombat]

Yes, well, I'll thank you to not say anything to anyone about it; I do have a reputation to uphold and all.

[doitrockapella]

If you're worried, you're always welcome to buy my silence with flowers, you know.

[explosivecombat]

And where shall I send them?

[doitrockapella]

If it were that easy, you'd have tired of me long ago.

[explosivecombat]

Does it change it any if I make it plain that I have a few too many things to get in order to deliver them personally? I'm not pursuing physically.

[doitrockapella]

It's the principle of the thing.

But if you're feeling nostalgic, you can always send them to a city where flowers feel at home; I'll handle the rest from there.

[explosivecombat]

[...WOMAN]

I'm...sorry, what?

[doitrockapella]

[. . .

well so much for the rhetorical audience thinking they're in love

because it is now over

right now

love is over]

Really?

[explosivecombat]

[oh my fucking god did you really just]

You just threw a riddle at me in all seriousness, didn't you.

[doitrockapella]

We're not talking about this anymore.

[explosivecombat]

No, no, we're talking about it.

Is that something you do often, or...?

[doitrockapella]

You are absolutely no fun at all.

[explosivecombat]

Oh, come now, it was endearing. Just a bit confusing at the start, that's all.

[doitrockapella]

It's a riddle. It's supposed to be a bit confusing.

[explosivecombat]

Well, it was more the part where it was being handed to me in the first place that was confusing.

[doitrockapella]

Why? I've given you riddles before.

[explosivecombat]

[...]

Did I manage to embarrass you somehow? You're being rather defensive, you know.

[doitrockapella]

I'm not embarrassed, I'm aghast that I apparently have to explain flirting to you.
