NIETZSCHE; DEAD PHILOSOPHERS' INBOX

[explosivecombat]

[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.

[explosivecombat]

Well, I would assume you wouldn't be texting me so casually if you weren't.

[doitrockapella]

I wouldn't find it insipid if you bothered to ask, you know.

[explosivecombat]

And again, the answer is already strongly implied, but I'll keep that in mind.

[doitrockapella]

What color were his eyes?

[explosivecombat]

What does that have to do with anything?

[doitrockapella]

You know, don't you?

[explosivecombat]

Of course I do.

[doitrockapella]

Then it's quid pro quo. Let me ask you about yours, and I'll let you ask me about mine.

[explosivecombat]

Why do you want to know?

I'm asking more through curiosity than an unwillingness to answer; you can ask whatever you want.

[doitrockapella]

Honestly? Because it's nice to see you being sentimental about something. It really has very little to do with your significant other himself, and more just the way you are when you talk about him.

[explosivecombat]

I still say it's insipid.

But his eyes were green. Dark green, not bright; it was a bit hard to tell unless you were looking right at him.

[doitrockapella]

I still say you're sweet.

About the same height as you, then?

[explosivecombat]

[LOOK WE ARE GOING TO DISREGARD THAT FIRST PART, LEST HE WHARRGARBL HIS WAY THROUGH THE CONVERSATION.]

No, actually. Much taller.

[doitrockapella]

[WHARRGARBL

WHARRRRRRGARBLLLLL]

I'm surprised you liked that.

[explosivecombat]

[NO. :| ]

And why is that?

[doitrockapella]

You don't strike me as the type to like it when people are taller than you.

[explosivecombat]

Is that so?

I've never really minded either way, actually.

[doitrockapella]

Call it a personal bias, then.

Did he have a nice smile?

[explosivecombat]

Ah...it was interesting, to put it nicely.

[doitrockapella]

I take it he wasn't much for facial expressions either, then.

[explosivecombat]

Oh, no. He was very expressive.

...And that was more or less the problem, it tended to be a little on the demented side.

[doitrockapella]

As opposed to you and your unsettling deadpan.

[explosivecombat]

...At risk of sounding like an idiot, what do you mean?

[doitrockapella]

You do a thing with your face — or maybe it'd be better cast as a lack of thing. It's eerie to experience if you're not expecting it.

[explosivecombat]

I suspect it won't help any if I say it's not something I'm aware of doing, will it?
