Opening this channel to share evidence.

I found an incomplete chess set made out of bone.

I don't want to date anyone because I've spent over a hundred years on the run and old habits are really hard to break.

Though I guess the boob thing doesn't help. Nobody wants to cuddle up to a guy half metal, right?

[nutkick]

[ SIGH ... ]

you really gonna make me say it, huh ...

[photosympathies]

( ... )

Say what?

[nutkick]

i'm gonna say this only with platonic intentions. my words hold no sexual desires.
okay???

[ THIS IS IMPORTANT. ]

[photosympathies]

I hear you.

[nutkick]

you're really good-looking, and you're the type that people would crush on so fast.
i can promise you nobody cares about your lonely boob, or whatever criminal history you have back in your world, they'd still wanna take you to dinner and stuff.

you just tend to cockblock yourself a lot.

( ...

Hang on.

...

Hang ...

... On. )

Oh.

( He does not know how to process all of that. Even being here all this time kindness surprises him. So he swallows the lump in his throat instead. )

Thanks, Denji.

You're a real good friend.

[nutkick]

you're welcome.
i won't say this again, so you better remember it!!

it just baffles me that you didn't know ...

[photosympathies]

I just know I'm a little weird, is all.

( It doesn't always put people off. Aodh was real interested in Vash when he was here, but he thought that was some kind of dragon thing. )

And I haven't really been able to stick around long enough in one place to try? So it's just never happened.

[nutkick]

we're all weird, man.
see? again with the dumb excuses.

why are you sooooo scared of trying to be with someone?

[ couldn't they have this conversation in private? JHSDFSDF; ]

[photosympathies]

Because people die.

( Man, they really should remember the validity of locking something. )

It hurts. And I'm old enough to know that no matter how far you run you can't escape it. I get that I could try here. Logically I know I'm safe and it would be fine, but my heart doesn't hear that part. It just remembers all the times anyone who's close to me has died. For me or because of me. So it's hard.

I still get antsy about sticking around here, sometimes.

[nutkick]

[ ugh. he knows what vash means. he understands that fear very well. too well.

still ... ]

i know...
but you can't spend the rest of your life alone.

[photosympathies]

But maybe I deserve to?

( Haha, jk. )

Anyway it's fine. I have like so many friends.

[nutkick]

[ vash. buddy .... ]

even if we deserve it, it's okay to be selfish sometimes.

[photosympathies]

Yeah, I know.

( Unfortunately this is dyed in the wool now. )

Maybe I'll keep myself open. But it really is fine. I'm happy. I have you guys to keep me company.
