[retrogrades]

Is everyone okay now? I don't really go outside much, so I can't be sure of exactly what happened, but I hope the monster that was attacking everyone was defeated.

Um, besides that though... I was wondering if anyone here has ever written a novel before? If you did, what kind of advice would you give to someone who also wanted to write a novel? On that note actually, if anyone has the time to, please tell me anything you know about novels and stories and the like. I'd really like to know.

Thank you for your time.

Well... at least you don't have to do that here, right?

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

No...that's right.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

That's good then.

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

It is...but--

[ He cuts himself off there. ]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Hm? [She waits, wondering if he's going to continue.]

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

--it's nothing.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

... alright, if you say so.

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

Yes...I'm sorry.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

It's fine. You don't have to apologize for that.

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

Okay...

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I-In any case... how have you been, Yoite-kun? [This is her attempt at getting rid of that awkward.]

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

I'm...fine.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I'm glad then. It can be hard to adjust to, I think, so it's good that you've settled in.

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

It's not bad...I've had worse.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Really? I can't imagine somewhere worse than here...

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

There are...worse things.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

... I can't even imagine.

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

That's good...I think.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I suppose it would be.

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

...

[ The awkward has returned. Best friends with awkward, Yoite is. ]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[You can almost hear the awkward with these two klajds.]

S-So... is there anything you do in your free time?

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

[ S-so much awkward. ]

...here, I work.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[They should win an award sometime...]

Oh, so you have a job here?

[anathemize.livejournal.com]

[ It'd be pretty bitchin'. ]

Yes...at the bar.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Ah, the bar... [There's the sound of pages rustling before she continues.] Mm, I've been there before. Do you enjoy working there?
