Of all the times to get sick...!

[ Oh, she accidentally hit record. It's a good thing she realized it pretty quickly, before her little rant got recorded besides that. She didn't want to leave everyone out to hang during all of the drama with the witch and possessions, but unfortunately, aura protected against injuries a lot better than it did against the flu.

But now she was better. Jaune had gone and joined a crew by now and Weiss? She had been planning to do the same since their original plans to have their own crew had gone slightly awry. Having sold the ship, she still owed Jaune half of the money for that. Well, that'll come up when it comes up. For now, if this thing is recording she might as well make a useful post out of it. ]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that someone from another world is much more susceptible to the flu here. I'm glad that's over. Do people get sick here often or do I just have very bad luck?

[ Moving right along, she has a declaration to make: ]

Oh, and I'm joining The Shepherds.

[ ~~Weiss you do not declare, you have to ask.~~ ]

I don't mean to only sign up after the trouble's over, but I couldn't really avoid it.

[ Just because she likes a few people on the Shepherd's crew so far doesn't mean she'll be any good at taking orders from the captain, but she's trying! ]

thats because people are douches who act like hot shit and pretend to be amicable to get boning sessions under way
while everybodys worried about keepin up appearances
im up on the foul linin up for the quarter shot
gotta keep my head cool
cant be burdened with all the goddamn lies and fake shit goin on
real talk i cant be the chumpenheimer who just pretends to be cool

[ It takes her a minute to figure out just what he was trying to say with that spiel, but basically what she gets out of it is that he's not trying to find someone to date so he's fine with being weird.

Which Weiss actually finds pretty cool, since it sounds like it's a lot more fun than constantly trying to keep up appearances for others. Even if she isn't specifically looking to get a date, she's had to do that her whole life. Nothing less than perfection and it's not a habit that's easy to break. ]

Well, there are plenty of other reasons to try to keep up appearances besides getting a date, but I don't think that reasoning is bad.

yeah but acting one way and just being one way are two different things
we dont expect swamp monsters to put on suits and jump into an office ready to be CEO of the fucknugget co.
not everybodys gotta be all that great
i mean i used to act like a goddamn chump because i thought i had to step it up and be as cool as my bro
but it kind of became obvious that it would never happen
so i figured what if i just sort of
reached over and grabbed at goals i actually gave a shit about

So you don't think it's bad to worry about that sort of thing if you are in a situation like that?

[ That's a relief at least. ]

It's probably cooler if you don't have to try to be cool, anyway.

you say that but lazy coolness comes with the downside that eventually everybody grows up and realizes youre a slob
these days i figure not bein a douche is probably the best way to be cool
which would likely explain my actual extremely low levels of coolness

Just what do you think being cool is that you equate it to a slob?

[ Weiss is getting more confused about just what "cool" is to him the more he talks. ]

its all kinds of shit really
the fact that seeming aloof makes people think life comes easy to you
and thats kind of an alpha trait
chumps seem to think alpha traits are cool

Why would anyone want a bunch of people to think you're cool for having no useful life skills?

fucking idiots apparently

[So, Dave was a little angry at his ex girlfriend and his other pseudo-alternate timeline girlfriend.]

[ Well, Weiss supports such anger. After all, being thought of as good for being useless isn't something that she can understand. The problems with being a perfectionist overachiever. ]

I would've probably phrased it differently, but I definitely am not arguing against that.

eh why would you
anyway i guess im done bitching
i keep forgetting to stop
thats what i get for living with the universes biggest douche for three years
