[Neil is standing near the fountain, watching the insanity of the crowded City unfold.]

So wait... what the hell is going on today?

...No one ever tells me anything.

[ooc: OPEN ACTION, DOUBLES WILL BE WELCOMED, SPOILERS FROM BEYOND MID-BOOK 4 (where this guy's from) ARE ALSO COOL TODAY. BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I'M EXCITED. =D
also: I will be trolling under my personal account, jeilovesyou. As myself. So... that's who that is. If you wondered. Hah.
also also: I KNOW I HAVE A MILLION AND ONE TAGS TO DO, I promise I'll get to it after I have my tea.
AAAAAAAAND ACTION!]

Yeah. They were okay the last six months they dated. They stayed on, a lot fewer fights. They're overall a great couple, though. She gets kind of mad scientist sometimes and he dances a mean Single Ladies dance.

Wait wait wait, them? More than one girl has done this to you?

[Neil nods, considering this.]

What? Yeah. I mean, no, I just meant... in general. 'Cause in the future, girls might... [He sighs.] ...Actually yes.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

What, seriously? What about you makes these girls scream 'use me'?! What were their excuses?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I-I dunno. Maybe I just have really bad luck.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

No, no. That's way beyond bad luck. Lack of confidence, maybe. You should work on that. Start, like, looking into a mirror and saying sappy shit like 'My name is Neil, I am awesome, and I deserve someone who likes me for me!' Girls like confidence anyway.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Confidence. Right. [He straightens his shoulders back, part-subconsciously.] I-if anyone asks, though, I'm totally not gonna talk to a mirror. [Which means he totally is.]

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people always say that you should practice monologues in front of one, but that always seemed kind of ridiculous to me? I don't know. I guess it must work for some people, otherwise no one would recommend it.

But yeah! Confidence. Like yourself! Don't be so down on yourself.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I-I'll try that. Uhmm. Thanks.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! And good luck. No bitches, hey?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[That gets a grin.] No bitches.
