hey dont doubt me im a 100% bonafide hustla i dont ever give up.

but



shes important. i really want her to be happy.

[heritrix]

I'm glad she has a friend. She didn't have many back home.

[me_matey]

see thats so weird to me

she is absolutely amazing. i was at the darkest point in my life when she came to me and she just filled my world up with beautiful light again. i owe her everything.

asdfgh I'm sorry I lost this

[heritrix]

[UHHHHHH. Uh-huh.]

So you're saying you're into her?

screw tag freeze, i am here

[me_matey]

-she audibly screams fuck, but it's okay since sakura's not there to question why.-

dude no

what u never had a platonic friendship u cared this much about?

heck yeah

[heritrix]

Sure I did, but the Rin of the past thought it was a great idea to date her anyways.
Rin of the past was very dumb.

[me_matey]

well i mean

i aint here to judge we all do dumb shit sometimes cuz feelings n shit are dumb but i am

100% positive

i do not

have romantic feelings for ur sister -ha ha ha it's so much easier to lie over text and yet that was still physically painful to write. shit there are tears on her phone, damnit.-

[heritrix]

[Wow, those texts feel punctuated for emphasis. Sounds a little suspect.]

Anyways.
Not to make fun of you, but you sounded on the cusp of writing poetry in honor of my sister's ethereal beauty.
I had to ask because platonic advice is so much different from romantic advice. You know?

[me_matey]

-she thinks she's in the clear.-

damn i aint a poet thats just how i feel yanno? neway i get it. i feel u

[heritrix]

Since it's platonic, the answer ends up being simple.
Just continue to be a good friend to her.

Like I said, Sakura didn't really have friends back home, so it's not something she's used to.
Sakura probably thinks the world of you, but that world is also narrow-minded. She's introverted, so it takes more coaxing to get her to open up too.
She doesn't like to be spoiled, but she's used to it, so she gets petty when things don't go her way and forgets to consider others.


So the more you affirm or assuage her feelings, the better.
And the less trouble you let her get away with, the better.
Both are good.

[me_matey]

ye ye that sounds

like what i was gonna do. i get the idea shes more selfish than she lets on, but its like

not a bad kind? mostly she just seems like she needs to be needed. u could see it in her eyes when she was texting erry1 that left.

she was mad that she couldnt do anything

[heritrix]

[Rin would agree to disagree, but then again, she and Sakura are sisters. She can call Sakura's selfishness a bad thing and feel both more valid saying so than anyone else, and at the same time more unfair to anyone else.

That's just how it works, and she's sure Sakura has plenty of nasty comments for her.]

Yeah, this is the part where I admit to making hers and your problem worse
I'm one of the ones heading out too.

[me_matey]

well

thanks 4 that.

i aint gonna hold it against u but mmmmmm

[heritrix]

Liar, I bet you're totally holding it against me.
It's okay, though, I'm pretty sure I can swing a free college credit out of this. I can endure all the world's scorn if I must! °˖✧＼(＾▽＾)／✧˖°

Hopefully I'll be back in time for her birthday, though. It's bad enough I'm missing my own.

[me_matey]

-shit. she forgot that was relatively soon-

hey uh lets say i drop all animosity and u gimme some hints on what makes a good bday gift 4 her

[heritrix]

Spooky things
Or cute things.
Or spooky and cute things. If it has a crazy story behind it, you'll hit the trifecta.

[me_matey]

is she like

big goth and i didnt even notice?

[heritrix]

Just a big horror buff.
You know she works at an occult shop, right? That's a job that was practically designed for her.

[me_matey]

ye but i thought it was just cuz thats what was hirin

i think i can find somethin. lots of haunted places in the old hood.

[heritrix]

Oh, she'll eat it up if there are. It'll be better than Gisneyland.

[me_matey]

OR WAIT

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO GET HER

theres this bracelet thats got a golden anchor on it its some curio i got from the old man years ago before he went to jail and left the original mayship to me. its the one thing i got to salvage when it was wrecked.

its jewelry from a shipwreck. creepy. cute. crazy story.

[heritrix]

The Mayship? I don't think I've heard of that.

...the bracelet sounds perfect, though. Tell her the story before you show her the bracelet, and she'll get super into it.

[me_matey]

it was an old touring yacht i inherited from the dude who took care of me when i was little. it was my home/place of business, as id give bay tours around the boardwalk in it. back in august it got wrecked. i was homeless till sakura and i kinda spontaneously moved in together.

[heritrix]

Geez, I'm sorry to hear that.

[Now she gets what May was talking about earlier though; ie. that she met Sakura during a low point in her life.]

That's rough, but I'm glad things are looking up for you now.

[me_matey]

makes for a pretty wild story tho, right? one with a happy ending!
