I HAVE A FRIEND! AN ACTUAL FRIEND!

[Denzel celebrates with a lot of maniacal laughter but hey he's happy. Even if he sounds batshit insane he's overjoyed.]


[Locked to Asami]

Speaking of which, your advice on how to cure nightmares did help... That and a hot bath.

Mmmm. You know - I'm not exactly sure.

[There's that maniacal laughter.]

But now that I think about it, she wanted to be my friend first.

[Which he was reluctant for such a long time.]

voice

[feetarestrange]

[There are.

So many unkind things that she could be saying right about now. But she'll keep them all to herself.

This time.]

Well, congratulations.

I can tell that you're really excited over this.

voice

[crackpotcrocker]

THANK YOU!

Those words are appreciated, yes.

Why the HECK wouldn't I be?

Why I think I'm even gleeful and I'm not fond of glee!

voice

[feetarestrange]

But you've made friends before, right?

[... right?!]

voice

[crackpotcrocker]

..... Just one other and we - [There's a long heartfelt lovers groan. He did have one other friend who later became his girlfriend that just didn't end so well.]

Let me answer your question with a question. Do I strike you as Mr. Popularity?

[If only Crocker knew the irony of those words but since he doesn't remember his former childhood before something happened.]

voice

[feetarestrange]

It's not about being popular. It's about being someone others want to be close to.

Someone they want to be friends with.

Re: voice

[crackpotcrocker]

... I don't know what that is.

voice

[feetarestrange]

Maybe you should ask yourself why you've had so few friends.

voice

[crackpotcrocker]

That's rather obvious... ^{I don't trust others to stay.}

voice

[feetarestrange]

People are going to leave at some point. What matters is what you do with the time you have together.

voice

[crackpotcrocker]

..... I never thought of it that way... before.

[Crocker's stomach twists, he still hates the idea that no one will stay forever. Which is why he grumbles afterwards.]

voice

[feetarestrange]

You learn something new every day. Isn't that how it goes?

voice

[crackpotcrocker]

I thought I knew everything I had to know.

voice

[feetarestrange]

Anyone can you tell you that's wrong.
