let's say 5/18

[markbearer]

This is Mashita.

[You know, that detective guy that likes to argue with you sometimes about dumb hot takes on poetry.]

Do you mind if I get your opinion on something here?

[goatsongs]

Shoot.

[Chuuya's got lots of opinions, Mashita's come to the right place.]

[markbearer]

What's the worst romantic confession you've ever heard of in your life?

[... There's a reason we're asking this, we swear.]

[goatsongs]

Good question. 'Marry me or I'll die' is up there.

[markbearer]

... Well that's just fucking manipulative. Did someone actually use that one on you or you just heard about it from someone else?

[goatsongs]

Not on me, thankfully, but some of my coworkers are fucked up enough to go for it. Sometimes it even worked.

[markbearer]

Yikes.

[...]

Well then, I guess I should be glad that the one I ended up getting yesterday wasn't nearly that bad by comparison.

[goatsongs]

Small blessings. How bad was it?

[markbearer]

He confessed to me via two sentences in a text message.

... And then proceeded to panic and throw his phone over the edge of the roof when I showed up wanting to talk to him in person about it.

[goatsongs]

Wow. A real catch you've got there.

[markbearer]

Don't I know it.

[... Mashita actually means this fondly.]

Anyway I think he's worried for some reason that I deserved a better one than that so I thought I'd ask an expert who knows their way around words to help assuage him otherwise that he could have absolutely done worse.

[See Yashiki, at least you didn't pull the "Marry me or I'll die" card?]

[goatsongs]

Oh yeah, absolutely tell him that. His heart's in the right place and that's the most important thing, right?

[markbearer]

That's what I've tried to tell him, but sometimes I wonder if he thinks I'm just saying that because I feel obligated to.

[goatsongs]

You don't strike me as the kind of guy to pay lip service if you don't want to.

[markbearer]

Of course not, and he knows that too.

He just thinks too hard about stuff sometimes.
