THIRD REBELLION ❅ TEXT

[glaciates]

[A text hits the network around noon. It's very short and to the point, though it's not specifically addressed to anyone.]

How do you tell the difference between someone you're just friends with and someone you're romantically interested in?

[...Obviously it comes from Isaac. No one else could fail social on this level. At least he was trying to keep his fail minimized! The text was supposed to be private to Hughes. Unfortunately... Isaac is a fail with technology too. Have fun trolling!]

[...usually Kimblee ignores things like this, but there are a few things about this particular line of text that strike him. The first being that it's failing at either filtering or being anonymous, if it's pinging the entire network - it's coming from Isaac, of all people.

...the second being holy damn, this is coming from Isaac, of all people.

Well! After this initial reaction is out of the way...]

Is there something you've been keeping from me, Isaac?

[THE AMOUNT OF KITTYFACE HERE...]

Who's the lucky lady, hm?

[video]

[glaciates]

[...You know, he should really double-check who he's sending things to before he actually sends it to the entire network.]

[The amount of orz here, Kimblee.]

[Anyway, Isaac doesn't think anything about replying with a video, despite the fact that this is something else he really should have thought about first. Also his whole brain might be crying.]

That's--! It's none of your business, Kimblee. This wasn't supposed to go out to the entire network...!

[Video]

[king_of_flames]

...Surely you can't be serious.

[Video]

[glaciates]

[...welp.]

[You can have a video of a facepalm, Roy. That's... kind of the only option here, isn't it.]

...Just ignore it. That wasn't supposed to go out to the whole network.

[You'll totally believe he was just trolling someone, right? ...Right?]

[her_mouse_jesty]

I think if you have to ask that, you may already have some idea!

[teeheehee.]

[glaciates]

[...Sadly enough that's entirely accurate...]

Y-yeah, I guess so.

[orz tho]

[snapandscoot]

[[OHOHOHOHOHO~]]

Relationship troubles, Mr McDougal?

[video]

[glaciates]

[OH GOD NOT EMMY]

[WHAT DO WHAT DO WHAT DO]

I...! Th-that wasn't supposed to be sent to the entire network...!

[That also isn't a denial. He's getting slightly better at avoiding telling the truth bluntly! While not actually lying! Reasons why he should never hang out with Kimblee...]

voice;

[usedshooshpap]

That's simple, holy shit.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be asking this question if you weren't already biased towards an answer.

voice;

[glaciates]

[...that's entirely too accurate...]

This wasn't supposed to go out to the entire network. I... yeah, maybe I already do.

[darkenedgales]

Can't say I'm a specialist in this kinda thing, buuut--

[THIS FACE.]

Preeetty sure you wouldn't even be considering the latter if it was just the former, huh?

[video]

[glaciates]

[THAT EXPRESSION IS HORRIFYING OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO]

...I...!

[...That's a bit too true, isn't it.]

Well... well, maybe...

[audio]

[meatysoviet]

You do not fuck friends.

[So blunt, but apparently it's true.

Not that he'd know.]

So I am supposing your answer comes to light if you hold... Carnal desires for this 'friend' of yours.

[audio]

[glaciates]

[...that's actually a very good point, isn't it? It's obviously not something Isaac had considered. He takes a moment before responding, mostly to figure out the answer for himself.]

[He's really not liking the answer he's gotten, just so you know.]

Thanks for the advice; that's true. I hadn't thought about it like that.

[dreamtamer]

But what if it is someone you liked as a friend first?

[glaciates]

Well, I guess that would make the transition easier...?

[But that definitely wasn't the case here.]

[Text]

[justicereigns]

Sometimes you only find out by dating them.

[Text]

[glaciates]

[...And what if you attempt that and fail miserably? Isaac is the biggest social fail ever; dating's kind of out of the question...]

I guess that's true. Thanks for the advice. I don't think it will happen.

[Text]

[usedcharm]

The answer to that is different for everyone, but I think if you even have to ask you already know the answer.

[Text]

[glaciates]

You're probably right. Thanks.

[But orz tho]

... *slips this in here* ..... /forever on hiatus anyways

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ ... Bwuh... have a video. Because texting all of this is too much work. ]

You can tell by the feeling of wanting to settle down and have children with them.

[ No, but really... ]

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL BB

[glaciates]

[THE ENTIRE REASON WHY HE TEXTED YOU WAS SO THAT HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO FLAIL AT YOU ON VIDEO. UGH WHY DO YOU DO THIS. You can have a video back, then. It's made of his whole brain crying but you know. This is totally your fault anyway.]

That's not...!

[...possible... orz]

[Voice] because you made me

[saltwaterwounds]

You know...I've wondered that same thing myself before.

[Voice] I'M MAGICAL, WHAT CAN I SAY B)

[glaciates]

Yeah? So you've had this issue too?

[SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS...!]

[audio]

[trailweblaze]

If you ever get an answer to that I'd sure like to hear it.

[audio]

[glaciates]

[orz...]

Yeah, I'm sure there are a lot of people having this sort of issue.
