Week 9, Tuesday Afternoon

[acemedium]

[At some point, Maya's going to approach and tug Apollo aside. She's got Phoenix's locket visibly on the outside of her dress (as opposed to tucked in), Locke's bandana tying her hair up and Wolfwood's sunglasses on her head]

[Basically, she's even more of a fashion travesty than before]

Hey! I've got to talk to you!

Comments

[acemedium]

[IS SHE SEBASTIAN NOW...]

Don't be silly, Apollo. Everyone knows he was my assistant, not the other way around.

[GETTING A LITTLE DISTRACTED HERE, MAYA...]

[imfine1111one]

[ACE HELLA ASSISTANT]

Regardless!! You are definitely hiding something about your relationship! (I just. . .don't have any way to prove it. Hm, maybe this?)

[PRESENT: ...the magatama]

Would this have anything to do with it?

[acemedium]

[Maya did form a contract with him of sorts... and she's out to empty his wallet for her stomach, is that like eating his soul]

[ALSO BAM! Did your soul just take a bit of damage?]

Wow, you're way off-track....

[imfine1111one]

[yes, yes it is, it all makes sense now]

[ALSO OW, MY LIFE POINTS]

G-gyaaah! (Yowch! Okay, maybe presenting things randomly isn't the way to go. Let's not follow his example.)

Erm. Yeah, well, I was just testing you! Sort of. A-anyway!

The reason you're hiding this. . .I have to ask, don't you trust me knowing? I already know he was your best friend.

[acemedium]

[KUROMAYOI!!!]

[Also he's really more like her only friend from home... so sad]

I don't know if you can handle it, to be honest.... [HOW OMINOUS....?]

[imfine1111one]

Hm. . .

What if I could prove to you I could handle it? You'd spill the beans then, right?

[acemedium]

So prove it already, Mr. Bigshort Attorney!

[imfine1111one]

Bigshort--gkk. Ahem. Fine, I will!

[SLAMS DOWN A FIST]

I'll prove I can handle your secret. . .by telling you a secret of my own!!

[acemedium]

[THAT WAS A TYPO but it's hilarious, so I'll roll with it]

[(not that Maya can comment on other people's height)]

Oh? What secret? [IS IT EMBARRASSING? She's intrigued]

1/2

[imfine1111one]

[that was the best typo. Apollo suddenly looks DEAD SERIOUS]

For the longest time. . .Trucy thought I had a special someone. I kept heading home right after work, because there was a special girl I needed to take care of.

[imfine1111one]

But in truth, I was just taking care of a stray cat. I haven't dated since. . .what, freshman year of college? Even that didn't really count. Also I didn't realize that she was a he until Trucy pointed it out on the cat.


[KANYE SHRUG]

1/?

[acemedium]

[And Maya's dead serious as well!!]

Apollo, that's....

[acemedium]

[STARES INTENSELY INTO HIS FACE]

[DRAMATIC PAUSE] That's......

done!!

[acemedium]

......


That's the lamest thing I ever heard.

[BUT THE PSYCHELOCK SHATTERS SUPER DRAMATICALLY]

[OUT OF SHEER PITY]

[imfine1111one]

[JUSTICE WINS AGAIN....IN THE LAMEST WAY POSSIBLE......]

(H-hey, how is that lame?! It's a cute cat!)

W-well, regardless, it was a secret only known by a few!

And your last lock broke! I'm really confused as to how we're not feeling any debris right now!

[acemedium]

[JUSTICE HAS PREVAILED... IN LAME]

I can see why.....

Just roll with it, Mr. Magical Lie Detector! Anyway... before I tell you this secret.. there's something you have to know.

[FURTHER DRAMATIC PAUSE] ...Nick.... is really obsessed with cleaning the toilet.

[imfine1111one]

.............eh? What has that got to do with anythin--WAIT A DAMN SECOND.

He'd make us do it all the time!! Like at least five times a day! Is that way?! That weirdo!

[acemedium]

[Nods, Very Seriously]

That sounds like exactly the kind of thing Nick would do....

Anyway, the secret is..... [THE MOST DRAMATIC OF PAUSES] Sometimes, he's kind of cool.

[imfine1111one]

. . .

. . .


That's it. . .? I think you might have a skewed opinion

[ALSO WOW HELLA TYPOS UP THERE don't reply half asleep, self]

I'M NOT LATE YOU'RE LATE

[acemedium]

What do you mean, that's it?! The fact that a guy like that can be cool... that should totally blow your mind!
