THIRD REBELLION ❅ TEXT

[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?

[...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...!

Well, you seem to have made it everyone's business as of a few minutes ago. Surely you can forgive a bit of morbid curiosity?

[Did he mention orz? Because orz.]

Y-yeah well... I didn't mean to...!

[And no, you're not getting deets.]

Oh, I'm sure you didn't! But what's done is done.

Now come, do I have to start guessing?

[Well, the silence should be some sort of indication, Kimblee! Start guessing!]

[You don't mind if he's just made of orz, right?]

...hmmm, if you're going to insist...

[ohohoho, so we're going to make a game of it

excellent]

Given that you know you can talk to me about things in general, I'd think that this wouldn't be met with "It's none of your business" if it wasn't anyone that I knew - I'd think you'd try to use that angle immediately. If it's none of my business, however, I'll just assume for now that it's someone I know reasonably well. And if it's someone you're considering a friend, it's obviously someone you've known for at least a while...

[...

... ... ...

...oh.

Oh, Isaac...]

[Isaac, that's precious!]

I assume Miss Altava has no idea, then?

[SCREAM]

[OH GOOD GOD, DYING. THAT'S NOT WHAT HE MEANT AT ALL, KIMBLEE!!!]

Wh-what? No, it's not...! I'm not interested in Emmy.

[The stuttering and the flailing isn't helping his case any, is it...]

Oh, come now! Don't be so shy, she seemed to rather like you - I assume you got along quite well after I left the two of you to head north for a while?

Ah, but either way, I'm sure she would be receptive to the idea of a date, at the very least. You're [not completely unfortunate! ...uh no Kimblee let's not go there, you're trying to get your junior to have a spine, not break what little he already has] an attractive person, after all, and she's a lovely girl.

What?

[Oh come on, surely you didn't forget about Archer, Kimblee! He's still down here on the floor, rolling around with his cats, thank you very much! He's the most dignified villain ever!!]

[...He's also the most displeased thing ever. HAVE YOU SEEN ISAAC'S FACE, KIMBLEE?]

[...excuse him, Isaac, Kimblee will just be leaning over to give his partner in dignified villainy a bit of an annoyed look.]

Archer, would you please stay out of this - if you're going to involve yourself in the conversation, at least have the decency to get off the floor first.

[...welcome to Friday afternoons in Kimblee's room, Isaac. Back to business!]

Right, well. Shall I call Miss Altava, then? I mean, assuming you don't want to...

[...what did he just witness...]

[Well, besides the obvious fact that you pissed off your live-in, bitchy boyfriend.]

[...no seriously, what does he do with this knowledge.]

No, no way. I can handle this, Kimblee. Really.

[If only because then he won't have to call Emmy and everything will totally work out! Because avoiding the issue always works!]

[He pissed off...what

Not...not at all, Isaac, but okay...]

So it is Miss Altava, then.

[What do you mean not at all...? You two are always together and he bosses you around and--]

[...Wait. Are you his bondage slave or something? Because that would explain everything.]

...If I say it is, will you drop it?

[Say hello to desperation!]

[...if he ever hears about any of this...]

Mm...no, because now you're just humoring me.

[Well, hello there, desperation! Allow me to introduce you to your senior being a pain in the ass.]

[...orz]

Look, none of this is any of your business, Kimblee. I'll take care of it myself, alright?

[Has he mentioned he kind of hates his meddling senior?]

[And that will just get a light laugh out of said meddling senior.]

All right, all right, Isaac. If you insist.

[...Well that was easier than he thought! He doesn't like lying, but... well. What choice does he have here? He certainly can't tell Kimblee the truth.]

Good. I'll take care of it.

[...The fact that his whole brain is crying might be giving him away a bit, huh.]

...Surely you can't be serious.

[...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?]

Yeah, a question like that shouldn't be announced in public. So, who is the lucky recipient?

[It's cute how optimistic you are.]

Excellent. You can start by not lying to me.

[...but yes, fine, he'll still let up just a little, okay.]

Really, I don't see why this is something you seem so worried about; we're hardly children anymore, Isaac.

[Is there a response to this that isn't "orz"? Because he's not coming up with one.]

Yeah, I figured that much. And it's not really something I feel like sharing.

[Mostly because it's horribly awkward and he's not sure anything will come of it anyway.]
