Startling isn't the same as spooky!

[judoflipped]

it can be

[locumstudentesquire]

Not in this case!

[judoflipped]

skeletons can be startling but arent actually spooky unless theyre put into a spooky setting

checkmate

[belheir]

What if I told you there was a skeleton inside you right now?

That's pretty spooky, right?

1/2

[locumstudentesquire]

Kazuya-san

[locumstudentesquire]

[There's a weighty pause before the rest comes in, like he's drafting a very serious and formal letter of complaint.]

My skeleton and I have an understanding with one another, where it continues to function as needed, and I get to go about my day never thinking too hard about its constant presence.

Please don't threaten that balance with such disturbing phrasing ever again.

Thank you.

[belheir]

[ .... ]

What if your skeleton is tired of being your pawn? What if it wants to break free? What if its tired of being wet all the time?

[locumstudentesquire]

[In SLOPPY, DISTRESSED HAND:]

WHAT DID I JUST SAY

ABOUT DISTURBING PHRASING

[belheir]

Which part of it was disturbing? I'm just concerned for your skeleton. Someone has to care if you don't.

[locumstudentesquire]

If I were you I'd be more concerned about your own skeleton, if you don't cease and desist this nonsense at once.

[It is so much easier for him to just, casually say mean and threatening things in a format like this. Wow.]

[belheir]

Considering your feelings on your own skeleton, I think mine will be just fine.

[locumstudentesquire]

That... Doesn't even makes sense, but I'll still take it over you coming up with anything else on par with the level of unsettling that is describing people's skeletons as being wet.

[belheir]

Oh I just meant how opposed to skeletons you are, you'd probably not want to see mine either.

But skeletons are wet. Very wet.

[locumstudentesquire]

Perhaps you're not aware, but it is very possible (and actually quite common) to harm a skeleton without ever actually seeing it.

[belheir]

I guess that's true.

I don't think you could harm my skeleton, though. I don't think you have it in you.

cw: violent threats

[crouching_sin]

Threaten my brother's skeleton one more time and we'll see if we can reveal yours.

CHOKING LAUGHING

[locumstudentesquire]

[SIR????]

I PROMISE you I was merely joking!

[crouching_sin]

Good. Keep it that way.

[locumstudentesquire]

You don't have to tell me twice!

[Sheesh, the ONE TIME he tries out a little casual threatening of physical harm, kazuma-style...]

[belheir]

First of all: Cousins.

Second of all: Holy shit, chill.

[crouching_sin]

First of all: Raised together, it counts.

Second of all: No.

[belheir]

No it doesn't.

And you seriously can't start threatening everyone I talk to just because they threaten my skeleton. Besides, the guy looks like he's 50 pounds sopping wet. I could take him in a fight for my skeletons honour on my own.

[crouching_sin]

Fine, fine. I just don't like anyone threatening my baby cousin.

[locumstudentesquire]

Are we playing chess now or something?! Honestly, I don't know what you're even trying to argue anymore, you've lost me.

[Ryunosuke calm down...]
