[Totally locked from Bob for future lulz.]

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I'm Asch.

[.....Does he have to explain more?]

...Guy mentioned me the other day.

[More?]

...Don't feel obligated to talk to me just because he asked.

[Maybe that was too much.]

....I'll try to be friendly if you do, though.

[Wait that came out wrong.]

....Right.

[That should do it.]

Comments

[herotypical]

Nothing too juicy. Just, like, who they were crushing on the tenth grade or what embarrassing substances they've snort-laughed through their nose.

[dissonates]

[...Those both sound horribly embarrassing, actually.] ...I'd probably get angry.

[herotypical]

For a few days, but you'd get over it. They always do. Plus, you'd have pre-broken ice between you and a once-a-stranger, soon-to-be-new-friend. So in the end, it all ends in gratitude.

[A pause.] Or, maybe, hair-pulling.

[dissonates]

I'm not so juvenile. [And Asch completely misses the point, as usual.]

[herotypical]

Everyone gets juvenile, now and again.

[dissonates]

Not everyone.

[herotypical]

Well, everyone was young once, right?

[dissonates]

Being a kid isn't the same as acting like one.

[herotypical]

Point to you. Still, I think the urge to be juvenile can run pretty high for most folks.

[dissonates]

Most. Not all. It's not fair to generalize.

[herotypical]

Point taken exceptionally to heart, Asch.

[dissonates]

...Heh. Amazing, we agreed on something. This isn't as hard as I thought it would be.

[herotypical]

I told you it got easier with practice! Agreeing is just the start. Agreeing leads to smiling which leads to laughing.

[dissonates]

Sounds like agreeing is the easiest step.

[herotypical]

Might seem like that now, but it's not really the case. Agreeing can sometimes be the hardest part.

[dissonates]

I guess it depends on the issue.

[herotypical]

Exactly.

[Oh look, there's that agreement thing again.]
