Do you have a New Year's resolution?

I thought about trying to get stronger, but I thought I would get hurt that way if I pushed myself too hard, so I think I might try to get a boyfriend this year and see what it's like.

Is a boyfriend like a girlfriend?

[heavenscorpse]

Uh-huh. I guess I could get a girlfriend instead.

Do not build up too many expectations. An actual boyfriend is rarely as good as the idea of one.

[breatheinthefog]

I can teach you how to use the crane machine.

[heavenscorpse]

I don't have many expectations. I just want to try something I haven't done before, because it sounds nice.

[heavenscorpse]

Would that help?

[pellegri]

Yes, but it is fairly easy to become blinded by your affections for that person.

[heavenscorpse]

Oh, that won't be a problem. I like everyone already.

[breatheinthefog]

Isn't that the point?

[pellegri]

Hm... I see.

[heavenscorpse]

I like some people more than others, though. Is that normal?

[heavenscorpse]

I think you do nice things for your boyfriend or your girlfriend, but not always getting them things from the crane machine.

text;

[pellegri]

Yes. Though I am not quite sure that liking everyone would be considered normal.

[breatheinthefog]

...so "girlfriend" doesn't mean "person for whom you win something from the crane machine"?

text;

[heavenscorpse]

Well, I'm not a normal person, really at all.

[heavenscorpse]

It doesn't mean that. It means a girl you like a whole lot who makes you happy to be around, and you spend a lot of time with them.

Oh?

I was originally a plant without intelligence.

Any boyfriend you get will have to be approved by me first, you understand. I can't have my V/V dating the riff raff.~

[heavenscorpse]

Oh, I know, Beato-mama. You'll take good care of me.

[breatheinthefog]

...This is so strange.

[heavenscorpse]

What about it is strange?

[breatheinthefog]

I spent almost a year telling people I had a girlfriend who was a boy.

[heavenscorpse]

Maybe you just had a boyfriend.

Is that so?

[it takes her a minute to even think of a response, because wow, this person must be insane.]

And you are human now?
