Well excuuuse me for trying to be helpful. I hate when people are wasteful.

...Is that what you want? For no it to no longer be useful anymore...? So no one can use it again?

Eh? No, Slinkies can be detangled any number of times. They're very versatile. Technically, if the damage gets bad enough you can straighten a slinky and recoil it yourself.

Actually, most slinkies can be fixed with the spinning method or other detangling methods. If there are bends and warps, applying heat can usually do the trick. It may have some damage marks in the end, but it's still useful. If you're careful and treat a slinky with love, you can use it forever.

Maybe wait a while longer, and ask what you can do?

She blinks, eyes wide when she feels his hold on her chin. Calloused fingers against her skin, she suddenly wonders when exactly Grimmjow stopped looking at her like just another human. Part of her wonders just how deep his respect for her goes. He leans in, and everything is him. Blue. A storm ⏩️

Hm... what are you gonna do about it?

Hm... Have they said they don't want you to try to fix things?

Yeah...I...I know... Well, heavy damage takes a long time to heal. It'll probably be a long time before you can even begin to patch things up, if what you did was so...egregious.

I try to fit 'em in when I can. ...Oh, shit... I'm sorry, man. That's a heavy loss. Mind me askin' what happened?

Didja wanna talk about it? Yeahhh, it's been a good, I guess. Been working like crazy, though...

Hey, Celeste! What's with the long face?

Good afternooooon Karakuraaaaa!

"A knight, huh? Guess I was... You're welcome." She sighs softly, a bit flustered by the closeness, her gaze finding anywhere else to look. "...What, you gonna make me dinner or something in return?"

Another whine. Her ice creeeeeam...!! She pouts, huffing. "Nh... water, please..."

"First plan, pssh...! You don't mean that!" A scoff, and she shakes her head. "...I don't blame ya, always busy saving the world..."

Whines drunkenly, but otherwise nods, shoveling another spoonful in her mouth...

"Uh-huuuh, too many fish in the sea and make a fisherman miss a real catch, y'know!" She shrugs, then raises a brow at him. "...Us?? I'm not your backup plan, dumbass!!" (💢)

I'm gonna be hubgover tomorrow.m..

How long has it taken YOU to get over your first and second loves, huh???

A pout, but she nods. "Good! Glad you get it. Kind of. I'm sure you've got all sorts of ladies lined up to date! When are YOU gonna settle down, huh?"

She blinks back at him, then scowls. He was always trying to rile her up, and she wouldn't let him get the best of her so easily! "Yeah, you were shiverin' like a cold lil damsel, so I spooned ya and kept you warm like the princess you are! Happy? Or what, do you wanna hear something worse?"

It'd be kinda fucked up if I wasn't over my MARRIED friends, don't you think?? Of course I'm over it, I'm not insane, Shinji...!!

"Tch! For good reason!! Is it bad for a lady to have high standards?!" She huffs, arms crossing as she turns her head away. "...I've been fine, single. If someone comes along and fits well into my life, and I fit into their's, then I'll settle down."

Ugh... being reminded of all I let slip through my fingers is puttin' a pit in my stomach... ...I'm gonna go get some ice cream and soju and eat that feeling away.

I SAID SHUT UP, SIA!!! [She growls fist cocked back, ready to strike again!] It was years ago, okay?! It's not bad taste, either. They're both good people, y'know?

Tatsuki promptly lands a solid punch to his stomach!! (💢) "SHUT UP!! I'M ALMOST THIRTY AND YOU STILL CAN'T SEE ME DATING ANYONE?! YOU ASSHOLE!!"

She huffs, arms crossing. "I don't think it's ever clear if someone's trying to fight or flirt around here..."

Ah, nothin', seriously, Ichigo, just dealin' with... possibke suitors, and stuff. I think. Or someone who wants to fight me.

[GRIPS HIS FACE AND KICKS HIS SHIN!!!]

temporary 📌

[IMMEDIATELY, her face goes bright red, hands moving to threaten to cover his mouth. She's like a teen again, trying to keep him hush about an embarrassing secret.] SHHSHSHHH!! SHUT UP!! I said it's not a big deal!!

Y-yeah! Peachy keen!

"...Wh...what's with that look?? Tell me I'm wrong, then!!"

I think my heart skipped a beat for a second...!! Stay focused, Tatsuki, that's how they getcha!!

". . . . . ." "Don't confuse me. You mean in like a fighting way cuz he's too busy being a husband?? You could flick my head off, I'm not a good rival at all--"

Yeah, yeah...

Mm... Nah, we were all pretty roundabout about it back then. It's been about ten years since it would've made a difference, so it doesn't matter if I did or not. I'm alright, though! I knew what I was in for, so don't worry about lil ol' me.

...Ugh...

I've already filled the punchcard at least three times, then.

That's what I thought.

Tell me about it.

THAT'S BULLSHIT

FOR DEPRESSION?!?!

Can I get a receipt with that?

They fell in love with each other, and I let that shit happen because I'm a good friend, any other questions? (💢)

My first love married my second love, what do I win?

A first love... I remember my first love...

JANIC IS PROBABLY THE PRETTIEST MUPPET OUT THERE, YEAH YOU'RE A COWARD!!
