... Why am I letting it get to me so much? It's not as if she's ever acted like she likes me, or does much more than tolerate me.

I guess it's just because I've never really been hated before. Just feared, and I know she's got no reason to do that. Not like I'm fireproof anymore, and if I was that dangerous to her worldview I'd probably have convinced her by now.

Still, it... hurts. It almost physically hurts...

No, really! You're a super-nice guy, and you don't cause trouble for anyone.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Oh, I cause plenty of trouble. It's just that it's usually for the bad guys.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

You know what I mean.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, I know. I knew she didn't like me much, but I didn't think she actually hated me...

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

She's probably just got problems. There's nothing to hate about you.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

... Thanks, Kano.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

No problem! Call Princess Kano-rin for all your self-esteem needs.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

The -rin is new. What does it mean?

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Nothing! It just sounds cute.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Sorry, I'm a guy.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean you can't know what cute is. Unless maybe you were abducted by aliens and, in an unfortunate experiment, your senses were numbed to the ways of cute.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Um... no. I don't think I was ever abducted by aliens.

... Why would aliens want to make me unable to perceive cute?

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Who knows? Aliens are weird. Probably.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

I guess I wouldn't know. The aliens on this community don't seem any weirder than most of the other people.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Do they ever abduct anyone?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Not so I've noticed.

... Honestly, Dr. Cockroach was probably the most likely, but he wasn't actually an alien.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

That's a weird thing to name your kid. Poor guy.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Oh, it wasn't his real name. At least, I don't think it was. He was called that because he was half-bug - apparently an experiment went wrong.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Half bug? Whoa.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

He and Susan were from the same world - though they called Susan Ginormica, something about being hit by a meteor and suddenly being fifty feet tall.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Are you making this up?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. They were members of the community a while ago, before you joined. People... tend to come and go.

... Don't tell Azula I told you this, but that's one of her problems. A friend of hers who was on the community left - and for some reason disappeared from her world as well.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

[locked]

Wait, the community can make people disappear!?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Some worlds tend to have lots of that. Have you met Giselle?

[locked]
I don't know. I've never heard of it happening to anyone else, but I don't see any reason Azula would drag a lie out this long. I've never known her to lie about anything else, come to think of it even if her worldview means she distorts things a lot.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Nope.

...That's kind of sad, isn't it?
