First off, I'm sorry for avoiding everyone. I kinda socialed myself out with the masquerade and I'm not used to it, so I hid for awhile. [ Soul looks apologetic as he appears on the network with this statement, running his hand through his bangs and trying to smile. Mostly he just looks supremely embarrassed. Not by what he's said but what he's about to say. ]

So uh, I have to ask for some advice.

[ He pauses and takes a deep breath as his cheeks flush. ]

What do you do when you have a big old crush on someone? Do you tell them your real feelings or only spill it a little? Do you do it at all if you've been avoiding them and they're kind of upset about it? I'm sort of tired of avoiding them more than anyone, and feel like the only answer is to say something so I can't anymore.

But I really don't want to. Is there any way I can avoid this? I'm really not sure about it because I've never... liked another guy before, and I don't know how to handle it with a guy. I barely know how to handle it with a chick.

I don't want to lose this friend if they get pissed off about it. Things could stay the same and I'd be okay. I'm used to not getting what I want.

[ He pauses. That's kind of a shitty thing to say and he didn't mean to. ]

Uh, forget that last statement, please.

Help?

Scythe-y boy! [Oh, has she missed her Soul. Blair practically smooshed the camera against her] It’s good to see you. Aw, you don’t have to admit anything to Blair. ~

[Wait, did he say something about liking other men? She certainly didn’t expect that. A look of confusion washed across her face]

Huh, you like another guy?

[Soul's been avoiding him again - the one saving grace is that he's been avoiding everyone. Atsuya looks thoroughly unimpressed, though. Soul's not sick this time. No reason to go easy on him. But Atsuya's still pretending to be Shirou for the masses, so only Soul will know how much trouble he's in.]

Rika is pretty in love with Ichinose-kun. She mostly just kidnapped him and declared herself his fiancee.

[And that's it, that's the limit of his exposure to love and romance. Having said that, he gets up. He's done. Between Soul and the stupid paranoia he started the month with, he really needs to kick something. He's going to find a ball first so it's not Soul.]

[ Ah, young love (or LOVE) blossoms on the battlefield. This use of the network isn't exactly his Big Favorite or anything, but it's never failed to make him chuckle.

Besides. Maybe it'll mean people stop shipping him with everyone he talks to for more than five minutes. ]

oh boy.
howzabout we look at it from a different perspective?
you're rollin' along mindin' your own business...
and you see this post by one of your buddies, right?
tellin' a bunch'a strangers on the internet all this stuff.

[ That he's got a crush. That he doesn't know what to do about it, that he's willing to advertise to a 'bunch of strangers' what he can't bring himself to say to this other guy, that he anticipates not getting what he wants.

Sans's choice of words are pretty deliberate. ]

seems to me you've done a lotta thinkin' about YOUR feelings, and not too much about his.

I thought that you were into Patty? Unless she identifies as a boy now...

[seemeinabluedress]

Soul, do we need to have a chat? This isn't exactly the best way to ask for romantic advice...

... In my experience?

Put everything out in the open after a life and death scenario and hope for the best.

It may not work for everyone.
