002. [ video ]

[ His video is set up so he can clearly show his entire face on the network as he talks. The camera seems steady, and he is leaning forward, propping his chin on the palm of his hand as he talks. His expression seems almost annoyed, though not serious. ]

Everyone has seemed rather upset. I guess for good reasons. Mostly, at least.

[ There's the slightest pause, as if he's trying to figure out the best way to explain it. ]

But, with that, I think we need to start looking forward, and I feel like an overdue distraction might be the best way for us to take the first step.

[ He closes his eyes, and tilts his head slightly. ]

A party. Something fun where people can dress nice. Something like a masquerade, I guess. Or a formal party of sorts. I guess it would depend on what others are interested in or what the participation will be.

If I see interest, then I don't mind starting to put stuff together.

Maybe it would be a good time to make amends if you hurt anyone. We could use an unoccupied larger house.

But, I wouldn't want to do it alone, so there is also that.

Neither antlers nor horns are gross but they are very different like moles and freckles are different.

As I've already established.

I don't know why this is difficult.

[firewalled]

its difficult because i love being difficult
thats pretty much what im here for


[rightfoot]

On purpose?

Yikes.

[firewalled]

yeah thats p much everyones reaction
it gets endearing after a while im sure

[Not really.]

[rightfoot]

If someone told you that it was endearing, they were lying. I promise.

[hoboagogo]

damn for an herbivore you go right for the throat

[rightfoot]

Honesty is necessary to repair behavior.

[hoboagogo]

you gonna get a clicker next?

[hoboagogo]

....thats a dog training joke by the way

realized you guys probably dont have those

[rightfoot]

We don't. But uh, it's good to know. I wonder if I could train Bela. Probably easier than a person, at least.

[firewalled]

wow u guys are mean
im an acquired taste is all!

trust me u aint gonna train it out of me
theyve already tried shock collars and that failed

[rightfoot]

I am. But should people have to get used to someone to like them? Seems like a lot of work.

[firewalled]

i mean it depends
first impressions count for a lot but sometimes theyre wrong
and i think a lot of people just have to find a balance in personalities

not that im saying u have to like me at all
if im pissing u off and you want me to leave you can totally tell me

[rightfoot]

Let me give you some advice from someone who matured past the age of 12:

Expecting people to acquire your difficult personality isn't how it works. You have to do some of that work on your own.

So no, I'm not pissed off. You'd know, without a doubt, if you had pissed me off, though.

[firewalled]

wow okay i know im a kid but 12 is a little harsh
i worded that wrong okay thats definitely not what im saying
like i was making a joke

i know for a fact how hard you have to work to get people to trust you when you came off as a huge asshole
i know there arent excuses for how i used to act and im trying to get better
i think all i meant was that my friends gave me that chance to make up for shit
again you dont have to though and i get that
its on me

[rightfoot]

What can I say? I'm an acquired taste.

now whos the one whos 12 yrs old
