[Today is a very special sort of day. Because Rhade also had a cursed object, only he didn't realize that it was one of his leather jackets. His plan to go to the CES is somewhat hindered by a sudden inability to think up a lie.

He's on his way there, anyway, not realizing yet that how exactly the flood has caused this. He knows that he needs to check up on Ben, because whatever was happening there was really.... strange. Just strange. Basically somehow candy has made Ben act slightly creepier than usual.]


OOC: So, for the first time ever on spontaneous whim I'm doing a truth thing with Rhade. He won't ramble on the network but if he runs into someone he will.

[He takes the communicator.]

I promise I won't look. Not even after you just all but said there's probably stuff about me in there. And you know that I keep my word.

[Spam]

[truth_is_cold]

I don't think you always keep your word, but I know you don't like to break it.

[He just... makes an irritated face at himself.]

[hunt4commonwealth]

I'd really like the normal you back.

All right, yes, if I need to break my word to save my ship, my crew, the universe, people I care about, yeah, I'll lie, cheat and break my word. But I'm not gonna do it just to snoop on a friend.

I believe that.

[He shrugs noncommittally.] I just [he's trying to stop himself] miss you, and I don't want to tell you that. But I talked to Una, and that made me feel better.

And worse.

But better.

[He grinds his knuckles into the palm of the other hand, standing there looking awkwardly at Dylan.] I would like the normal me back as well.

[Dylan's expression softens.]

I miss you, too. And you don't need to be afraid to tell me that.

I'm glad you got to talk to Una. I hope I get to meet her someday. She seems like one impressive lady.

[truth_is_cold]

She sang for me, too. She's extremely impressive.

...And I'm not afraid, I'm stubborn. [And he swears in Vedran under his breath.]

So you just didn't want to admit that you missed me because you're trying hard to pretend that you don't?

[Spam]

[truth_is_cold]

No. Yes. No... I don't want to admit that I miss you because I made a mistake. I should stay here and keep talking but I'm going leave now, anyway.

[And he practically sprints away toward the stairwell doors, like the Magog are chasing him.]

Mistake? [He calls out after Rhade's retreating form.]

Gaheris, what do you mean by--?

[Nope, he's gone. Damn, Nietzscheans are quick.]
