[bad_crowmance]

[ Well. ]

Nah, I haven't remembered what happens yet.

[ It's TECHNICALLY not even a lie. ]

Pretty much all of my memories so far have been before then.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Really? Is that normal?

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow shrugs loosely, shaking his head. ]

I don't know what counts as normal. It's my normal, anyway. I've had some memories from my first and second year at the academy and a couple when I was younger than that. The rest will come whenever, but unfortunately it's not like I get a choice in what it is, only when I get 'em.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[...that would be very unnerving, to have memories of later life just...missed like that.]

I guess that's true.

Well, if you ever want more sparks to get memories faster, I'm good to help you get them.

[bad_crowmance]

[ To be fair, he only looks a couple of years older than he did when he was at the academy so it's not like it's too much more. ]

I'm always up for earning more sparks.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Hey, in those couple of years, Rean apparently became a spirit that then lived for five hundred years. And who knows what Faito's been up to.]

Sure. Affection seems to the easiest thing to do unless you can whip out a dramatic emotional monologue on the fly.

Hair ruffles seem to work pretty well. [Pause.] Just don't surprise me from behind. There's a nonzero chance I'd flip you.

[bad_crowmance]

Keep from sneaking up on the jumpy soldier, got it.

[ He winks at Dusk again. ]

I get lots of points off of Rean with hair ruffles, it's a good go-to.

Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

I prefer to think of it as well honed instincts.

It is pretty easy to do. [And guess what Crow.]

[Getting the hair ruffles now.]

Re: Bond

[bad_crowmance]

It's probably a little of both.

[ HEADPATTING IS LEWD, should he point out to Dusk that's lewd--- No. No, it's funnier not to. He does playfully swat at him, though. ]

Careful, you're gonna mess up my hair.

Re: Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah, probably.

[Chuckles and pulls his hand away, NONE THE WISER.]

I'm still not sure how your hair can DO that and have it be considered 'neat.'

Re: Bond

[bad_crowmance]

That's what the headband is for!

[ The headband does very little to keep anything neat at all. He wears it for aesthetic and to keep his hair out of his eyes. ]

Re: Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

I'm pretty sure a headband doesn't normally do that. It's like your hair has a low electric charge at all times.

[bad_crowmance]

My hair is perfect and I won't hear a word against it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Hey, I'm not saying it looks bad. I just don't understand how it does that.

[bad_crowmance]

I mean... it's just hair? I brush it and it's like this. There's nothing special about it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

...huh. You really do nothing?

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah? I mean, it's not like Rufus' hair-- I don't know what he does to make it so perfect all the time.

[schrodingerscockroach]

His hair makes a little more sense.

Just a little.

Still does the....bang...thing...

[bad_crowmance]

My hair makes perfect sense? I'm not sure where you're confused here.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It's just....


Spiky.

[bad_crowmance]

Is it...? I would've called it fluffy myself.

[ He grabs a chunk of hair and examines it. "Spiky" is a pretty good word for it, too. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Kinda, but it's more spiky than fluffy. Faito's hair is fluffy. Yours isn't quite that.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He shrugs at that. ]

Spiky works too, I guess.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah. [Still weird.]

So okay? After the memory?

[bad_crowmance]

Of course. It was pretty nice for the most part, and there's no use worrying about any of the heavy stuff at the end. Whatever happened is long since over by now.
