[BOY IF THESE AREN'T THE WORST POSTS]

i'm sorry, kaneki
do you want to talk about it or anything? or some help with anything?

priv

[ghoulking]

I'm alright. I don't need anything. [ you already know the drill, Archie. Kaneki is fine, always fine, and nothing but fine. And he isn't going to start changing that mantra now. ]

Re: priv

[YKNOW HE IS STARTING TO THINK THAT'S NOT ALWAYS TRUE!!!]

okay
i know how it feels if you wanna talk. when matt was ported out just staying busy doing dumb stuff helped? i dunno. do what you feel you need to.

Oh, Kaneki, no...

[when it rains...]

I'm so sorry. I... [don't actually know what to say! but. hh.]

[ghoulking]

It's fine. Everything is alright. [ maybe saying it again and again is going to make it true. Kaneki's year has been awful and they are only 4 months in. By now he already knows he will never get a rest ]

[fauxmarth]

...

[SURE THING, BUDDY. sigh.]

I'll not press you, but...know that the same offer you made me? Goes for you, too. That's all.

shit.

it fucking sucks, dude. i find that destroying a bunch of crap helps. so if you wanna do that, i'm game.

[ghoulking]

[ and surprisingly that's actually something kaneki never did. Well, not on his own, at least; he does have fits of violence, but this is something he tries to suppress at all costs. He never actively destroyed anything because he wanted to ]

I usually train, I never actively destroyed something just because. [ kaneki is a good boy ]

Like what? Go into a porcelain store and throw everything to the ground?

[pop_of_color]

.. never? the fuck?

i more meant shooting shit with guns or cutting shit up with knives and swords. that sorta shit.

Condolences dude. You wanna grab a drink or something?

Re: [Text]

I can't drink alcohol but I won't mind coffee.

[canonized_demon]

You can't drink Alchohol? Double condolences.

I'll buy you a coffee. There's a nice place in Maurtia Falls called Hallowed Grounds. Meet you there?

[shitshitshit]

I'm coming over.
Vodka for me and the strongest coffee I can find for you.
We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

[not really giving you a choice here kaneki]

[ghoulking]

I'm not at the house or the coffee shop.
You decide where you want to meet, Andrew.

[itssacrifice]

And you'll actually come?

[That seems entirely too cooperative to be believed.]

How about my place?
My roommates are all out right now.
We can drink and watch crappy TV.

[He lists his apartment.]

[video]

[majorlyugh]

[Major thinks to send a text, but in these sorts of situations .. he knows it's better to do something more personal. He flicks on his video feed, and his face is somber and forlorn. He goes to say something, thinks better of it, then tries again with a shake of his head.]

I'm ... I'm so sorry, man. I'm so sorry. I .. [He sighs heavily.] Is there anything I can do for you? Anything you need?

[ text ]

[ghoulking]

[ Kaneki won't do video. He doesn't want to be seen, heard, he doesn't even want to exist. Text will be enough of an answer. If there is anything Major can do?Well, bring them back.

But he can't do that. And Kaneki can't ask that either ]

There is nothing we can do in the end. It's the way things are, here.

[onlydoubts]

i'm sorry, kaneki.
is there anything you need?

[ghoulking]

[ he needs them back. And he needs to stop losing people. He needs to have a break. He needs to stop feeling like the world is going to break and he is right beneath it.

And he needs to sleep. ]

There is nothing we can do. it's the way things are here.

[vanto]

I'm sorry. She's a good kid.

[ghoulking]

Yes, she was. [ confused about her nature, scared too. But a good girl. Kaneki hopes she will be okay back home. ]

voice. private.

[functusofficio]

[ She somehow thought he wouldn't want video, but still. ]

I'm terribly sorry, Kaneki. I know you consider yourself used to this, but that does not mean it is not still difficult.

text. private.

[ghoulking]

[ kaneki doesn't want voice either. it'd give him away far too easily, since he isn't able to control his emotions as he pretends he can. ]

Maybe. But there isn't much we can do about it, anyway.
