WHO: Caleb and you
WHERE: Gemini
WHEN: Dec. 27th
WHAT: So your raccoon boy has a weird question
WARNINGS: Nonsense

[So here is Caleb. No he has not committed crimes against cybertrucks this time, he is just in his room, looking very confused.]

So. Like. Is there a support group for...I don't know, "I think I was just in a Hallmark Christmas Movie but as the loser"?

[droptheious]

... What?

[There's a pause as he tried to make sense out of this but... no. ]

... No, seriously, what?

[actnormal]

So there was this guy, right, he was in Kaisou visiting his parents for the holidays after breaking up with his partner. And he seemed really nice, and we actually went on a couple of dates. But like the weekend before Christmas, his ex showed up and it was...weird, like we were actually out having lunch when he showed up and...

[Caleb shrugs.]

And now the guy's blocked me and I am really confused.

not quite here

[conseqweinces]

[Oh, so the death penalty.]

[droptheious]

Oh... you mean literally like one of those movies. I thought you saw someone that looked like you in one or something.

...

Yeah, this is way worse. [Give him a minute, he's really bad at this kind of thing.]

Uh. I guess if he's gonna go immediately back to his ex, he really wasn't ready for a new relationship? You've probably saved yourself some heartbreak down the line??? Maybe??

[actnormal]

Oh, that happened all the time. Before my hair went silver, I had black hair and blue eyes. [And a pretty face.] I got "oh my god you look just like this really hot guy!" all the time.

[Anyway.]

Yeah...I think so? It was also just so Christmas-y...the dates, I mean.

[droptheious]

I avoid that, for the most part. I think it's 'cause of the streak. It throws people off. So I don't get mistaken for a hot guy on a movie.

[He does NOT make the mistake of saying he's not hot enough to be mistaken for a hot guy because Jun is on here and he will get an earful. ]

I mean. It is Christmas-time. That stands to reason, unless you're trying really hard to not make them Christmas-y. Unless... was he like The Duke? You know... excessively Christmas-y?

[tonberrykin]

[ there's a faint sound of something sizzling. ]

Like... how ya mean, babe? Are you a big city lawyer who just lost your girl to a redneck with a jawline orrrr? Were you trying to bulldoze the town Christmas tree for a mall? Lost a baking competition?

Quoi?

[actnormal]

--Gil, what are you cooking.

[Look.]

And no, none of that. I'm really confused.

[tonberrykin]

Bacon. If you want some it's my day in the coupon kitchen~

[ he's not looking he's doing some hot girl shit with eggs but he's listening babygirl ]

That makes two of us! Do you wanna start with what's confusing you or should I go first?

[actnormal]

On my way.

[Bacon > all]

Anyway, remember the guy I mentioned meeting?

[tonberrykin]

I'll be waiting with bells on.

[ bacon is truly balm for the soul ]

Oh yeah, yeah, you sent me his info and your date spot and nearly forgot to ping me when you got home. I was gettin' ready to hunt him for sport 'til you called~ [ he sounds so cheerful, and then the math starts up. ]

Soooo. What did he do?

[...]

Is this in a hypothetical way or are you trying to ask about yourself in a roundabout way?

[These are very important distinctions to make! And also it will determine how much he needs to dial up the Mom Friend.]

[actnormal]

Oh it's for me. Absolutely for me.

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[Okay, so the dial is going to start at about a three.]

Has someone made you feel like that? Or is it something else?

[actnormal]

The guy I mentioned meeting that seemed nice got back together with his ex, I think, and now I'm blocked everywhere. And it all feels very Hallmark.

1/2

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[IT'S AT 11, NOW.]

2/2

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[Dan Heng takes a deep breath through his nose.]

No, you're not a loser or anything like that. He's the one who decided to go back to his ex and leave you without so much as ounce of respect to your feelings, let alone your time that was just wasted.

As much as I want to give him a piece of my mind, how are you feeling about it? Because I would once again like to reiterate: you're not the loser, here.

[Zelos will read the other comments before speaking up]

Eh, I dunno. Sounds to me you dodged a bullet. You should be celebrating if anything!

[actnormal]

[...you know what.]

You've got a point. Like, he was nice, but...so many Christmas-y dates. I work retail?

[Sorta.]

[wilder]

Sheesh, one of those types? Like I get Valentine's Day and Halloween dates because those are sexy holidays, but Christmas? C'mon. Someone watched Love Actually too many times.

Anyway yeah, if someone's bringing their ex on the date- that's a clear sign they aren't over their ex and probably won't be for awhile. Which is messy and you don't need that kind of drama in your life.

[actnormal]

Oh he didn't bring him, the ex just sorta showed up.

[illucesco]

…oh that indecisive bastard, he’d better have flown out of town by now or I’m going to the airport to punch him in the face.

[actnormal]

Noct. It's fine!

[illucesco]

It’s not! He dumped you for a guy he already broke up with and he did it over the holidays. He’s lucky it’s just a punch!

[actnormal]

It wasn't serious, Noct, he didn't dump me.
