[action/anon text] - Struggles - 020 [Backdated to afternoon of 4/2]
Gnomeday, Gnome Redecan 02, ND 2018
[The first thing Guy noticed upon waking up was how unbelievably sore he was.
The second? The barrier on Zelda's bed was gone. He could easily tell - he'd sprawled out a bit as he started to wake up, mixed up in the covers and the remains of the uniform he had last remembered wearing. He hummed wearily, giving a confused and clouded glance around the room as he propped himself to his elbows.
Had he fallen into a coma again? Guy grimaces, rubbing a crick in the back of his neck. He'd left Zelda here alone like this again, of all times? Damn it. How long had he been out?
Worrying wasn't going to help matters, though. He heaves himself out of bed, stretching his arms above him, straightening his back, and adjusting his clothes enough so that he could wander the house without being too embarrassed coming across another housemate (if they were awake by now.) He pads across the floor with bare feet, descending the staircase about halfway before finally bother to call out.]
"...Zelda? Hey, are you around...?"
----
[It's only after he' had a good share of time to talk to Zelda and get his bearings that Guy finally picks up his SFC, opting to keep himself anonymous this time around. There was too much that had happened while he was gone. It would just be nice to get a general sense of the city, if anything else.]
Breaking the ice around strangers is pretty hard, isn't it? I know we all have to do it all the time around here, with everyone coming and going. But it doesn't make it any easier.
Some people take to it easier than others, though. And I'm sure some of you have learned ways to interact with a new person just by being in this crazy place.
So tell me, Vatheon. How would you treat a stranger?

I could say the same for you! I don't think you should have any trouble making any friends too!
anon text
But really, making friends isn't my goal, you know? Getting along, sure. If we end up being friends, then great. But if someone doesn't want to be my friend or vice versus, it's not like I'm going to hold that against either of us.
anon text WHAT FAIL
What do you do when someone doesn't want to be your friend but you want to? Would it be better to just leave them alone or...?
anon text
I'd just give it time. If they really didn't want to be friends, then I'd have to respect that. But if I think they're worth it, I don't see any reason to give up on them.
anon text
But I think everyone is worth it so I don't want to give up on them just yet! ...But if they don't want to then I don't have a choice do I?
anon text
It's just deciding whether you want to live with the results of your choice at the end of the day.
anon text
I guess but I suppose it'll just have to see how much I want to really go befriend them...
I think even bad people should have some friends, I just don't want them to be lonely.
anon text
And yeah, everyone's entitled to some friendship. Just don't put such a huge burden on yourself, okay? I mean, you can try. But in reality, not everyone's gonna want to be your friend.
You'll have to be okay with that.
anon text
But as long as we learn to get along somehow is still okay for me. If they respect me, then I'll respect them right back! It's just that simple!
Just like how you and me are getting along right now!
anon text
Or does that not make a difference?
anon text
I think that’s more than what anyone can ask for!
anon text
We could just be pretty lucky, you and I.
anon text
So? If we’re lucky, it just means we’re lucky!
[Wait a minute]
Hey...this isn’t a trick question right?
anon text
[Yes, Bianca, he's joking around with you.]
Lucky or otherwise, though, it's been a pleasure getting to know you, Bianca.
anon text
Mhmm, you too um...whoever you are! [cough] Maybe I’ll see you sometime soon?
anon text
anon text
Maybe I'll just have to give you one of my pokeballs and then we can figure out something from there!
anon text
[He definitely should not be so excited. But at the same time, he can't help himself. He's been trying to get a hold of one of those little gadgets for ages!]
Sounds like a fair trade to me. Don't back down on me now, alright?

....Um, where is your apartment again?

[And with that, off Bianca goes to where he lives! Luckily, he isn't too far away from Shing and Kohaku...
That's why Guy will hear a knock after a couple of minutes!]
Guy, are you in there?
Action
[The door is quickly unlatched, the blonde pulling it open with a smile that diminishes at the sight of how... different the girl in front of him looks.]
...Bianca?
[She looked older, somehow. Had she gone home?]
Action
Yup, that's me! Who else would it be?
[She said as she gave a quick smile to him.]
It's really nice to see you again, Guy, it's been a while hasn't it?
