You have reached a MAXIMUM LEGEND!

Comments

[maximumlegend]

[ The answer is belated - because it's Fabian - but not as belated as one might expect by his standards, given that he can smell.. a compliment? Praise? The words you are right?

Just a little treat for Fabian Aramais Seacaster? ]

can you write that again

[ HE WILL INQUIRE WHAT IT IS IN A MOMENT, JUST.. let him have this!! ]

[stresstokens]

I changed my mind.

[maximumlegend]

THE BALL YOU CAN'T DENY ME THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!
come on
just once???????
you can tell me that again just once right

i need to figure out how to save messages on here

[ Not helping. ]

then we can talk about what happened to you!!!!!
i want to know all the details

[stresstokens]

It's already saved! It's in your message logs! Are you telling me you never go back and double check any of your messages????

[maximumlegend]

maybe i just want to see it again the ball
come ooonnnnnnnn

do you know how many times you have asked me to say nice things about you??

[ And you ignored all of those, Fabian.

Please do not leave out this aspect of your freshman year self. ]

[stresstokens]

It doesn't count when you don't actually SAY the nice things!

[maximumlegend]

[ :(

Nothing is coming up Fabian, as usually. ]

fine
then don't repeat it
see if i care!!!!!!!

[ He cares. He cares so much and we are all aware of it. ]

just tell me what happened then

[stresstokens]

You do care! This is what caring looks like!

I made a friend. No plans involved. Kind of.

I may or may not have also volunteered you to be her friend.

[ He can't just offer himself as a friend. Nobody wants that. But what do they want? A package deal!!!! ]

[maximumlegend]

[ .. Wait, hold on-- ]

uh
why was i offered to be her friend?

[ He's not even offended or anything now, just.. confused? He can't even be happy for his bestie making some more friends when he's instantly distracted and confused at the same time by something else entirely! Apparently Fabian doesn't see the package deal vision Riz has going on.. ]

[stresstokens]

I was being helpful.

[ And also, he knows he alone isn't a compelling friendship offer. Captain Fabian and The Ball, however? Slam dunk!!!! ]

She was upset because her friends are all uh

Dead?

So I told her she could come hang out with us sometime. I figured you'd be cool with that.

[ It's normal! ]

[maximumlegend]

[ Oh.

You know, that's actually way more normal than anything Fabian imagined Riz could have said, so-- ]

sure
yeah

of course i do not mind
i would not want anyone to have to deal with this wretched place all by themselves

so that means you must have offered gorgug and adaine as well right

[ Fabian, you may discover the weirdness just yet.

Who knows. ]

[stresstokens]

Yeah, I said she could hang out with all of us if she wanted! We're the coolest kids in town, after all.

[ He only really specifically mentioned Fabian, but... Fabian doesn't need to know that. It's not his fault. He's still underneath the bewildering rationale that Fabian is really, really Cool. ]

I don't know if she'll take me up on the offer, but it's a start, right? I didn't tell her even a single conspiracy.

[maximumlegend]

the ball
i am so proud of you
today you are graduating to a higher level of friendship

[ Look, would it be resally easy to read a sacrcastic tone into that? Yes. But Fabian does mean it genuinely, even if he may be poking some sliiight fun at Riz too.

But by Riz standards, that is a lot. Sometimes he can't even talk to Fabian without mentioning a conspiracy, and they're besties. ]

at this rate the student may just outdo the master
