[kaihentai]

How could you think of doing that with a such a closer friend! And when I've known that person for so much longer...

[He's all choked up.]

I didn't know you could be so cruel!

[blowfish]

...dunno what the hell you're goin' on about. Per the usual.

[Just play dumb. Just play dumb.]

1/?

[kaihentai]

Don't you play dumb with me! I'm the best at this game! The biggest idiot of them all! I-

2/?

[kaihentai]

[The biggest idiot.]

3/?

[kaihentai]

[He just called himself that.]

4/4

[kaihentai]

I really am the biggest idiot of them all.

[Sakamoto's head is now in his hands. Muttered under his breath:]

Even so, you're not gonna play this fool! Definitely not!

[blowfish]

[Oh, Sakamoto. Have a huff of disbelief while your cogs are churnin' away.]

Ain't playin' nobody, man. Start making sense. Now. Go.

[kaihentai]

If you come clean, I'll tell you the number of times I got laid in one night.

[How on Earth is this going to convince him...]

[blowfish]

...why would I wanna know that?!

[kaihentai]

Because you're my friend?

And you've been curious! Regarding my...

[He tugs nervously at his scarf.]

Whereabouts these past few days! It's Haven, you know! I could have been dead or something.

[blowfish]

[WOW A GUILT TRIP. WOW. Those actually hella work on him. Jesse heaves a sigh and looks skyward, mouth lolling.]

How many times did you get your dick wet in one night, bro?

[kaihentai]

F-fifteen!

[Wait a minute, that was way too high.

Aw, hell nah. Now he'll know he was lying.]

[blowfish]

Fifteen. [WHAT'S THAT SMELL IN THE AIR it's the distinct odor of complete fucking bullshit.] And it still works?

Oh, that's what you're askin' about, huh.

[so. very. cas.]

[kaihentai]

No?!

[His voice is getting high-pitched.]

It's f-fallen off! The pain was excruciating...

[blowfish]

Sorry to hear it. Next time we get free wishes from creepy entities and all that shit, ask 'em to grow you a new one.

[kaihentai]

You're really playin' it cool.

[Angrily.]

I'm offended. So many things happened, and you aren't going to talk to me about any of 'em?

[One thing. He only knows about one thing.]

C'mon! I'm dyin' over here.

It'd really be nice, to talk to somebody about everything those Yaoi bastards have put us through.

[blowfish]

[...man, what a trip it was this time. Sakamoto has a point, so he drops the act and lets sincerity creep into his tone the next time he speaks up.]

Alright. First you gotta swear to me anything I tell ya stays between us.

[kaihentai]

Sure.

[Rosie isn't as likely to talk as Jesse is. She trusts him, but he might need to work things out from this end if they wanna see a resolution any time soon.]

I can meet ya in person.

[blowfish]

[That's even better. Jesse hikes his jacket up from wherever he tossed it and heads for the door, just a tad restless.]

I'll head to your place.

[Flick of a lighter against phone static. Someone has no idea where Rosie is currently hiding out.]

[kaihentai]

Did he hang up? Aaaaaaaah! He hung up!

[The sound of static worries him, and Sakamoto begins to panic.]

Good god! What have I done?

[That noise is- Ew. Nail biting?]

I've led him straight into the lion's den.

[blowfish]

[He did not, in fact, hang up. What was all that about the lion's den...? You can almost sense how high his eyebrow is quirking when he pipes up over Sakamoto's nail-biting.]

Yo. Still here.

[kaihentai]

[Sakamoto continues to wail, his blubbering on the other end, incoherent. The ungodly sound of it all is so loud that he doesn't realize there's someone else on the phone.]

[blowfish]

Sakamoto.

[Gotta yell to get his attention. He's gone off deep somewhere in Sakamoto land.]

What the hell? Is there a problem, dude?

[kaihentai]

[After a bout of sniffling:]

O-oh! Jessica-kun!

[He rubs his eyes.]

You called back! You really do care for what I have to say, after all...

[Why. Why is he touched by this. It's all his fault! Nothing actually happened!]

[blowfish]

I never-- [sdlfsdgf no you know what he's just gonna let Saka believe what he wants.] Okay, how about this. You wanna come over instead?

[HE BARELY TOOK A STEP OUT THE DOOR...]

No cracks about wanting your body or whatever. I'm cuttin' you off before you can get going.
