That makes Annie laugh.

"Maybe." She gives him a pleased look like she just figured out a puzzle. Annie has in a way. She likes having this found family she is building here and having gotten adopted before she basically metaphorically pointed and went 'mine' is nice.

"But it's good. Peanut butter is incredibly handy to have around."

She scuttles up to the stools then doesn't give them much consideration. Trying to navigate sitting on a stool when her body had so many limbs just wasn't worth the stress. It got a bit bothersome trying to not tangle herself up.

"I usually stayed away from anything with whiskey," Annie supplies. "I do like rum though. Ever do a Painkiller?"

Of course Annie is into something fruity. Of course, it sounds dangerous but is actually just fine as far as drinks go.

"I don't mind piña coladas. I just hate that song," Annie says trying to avoid sounding judgmental, but she totally is. Annie acknowledges his offer and just goes to get on ottoman. It takes almost no effort to nudge it over. Getting up on it is rather easy, and she looks comfortably perched up on it. The only issue is she doesn't have the extra height the stools give.

It makes her look a bit small which isn't hard.

"Nope. My friends tended to have parents who went away a lot. Latch key kids. We did have a few responsible adults but I don't think they noticed when things went missing. It was normal stuff. Sips of vodka here and there. Sneaking craft hard cider. You know. Normal stuff."

"Mom says they deserve each other," Annie supplies looking amused. "She said people like that make most divorce lawyers very busy people. Also why she refuses to take on divorce cases."

Annie has zero experience with actual sibling fights. However, she is the Queen of tickle wars with her close friends. Annie just gives him a surprised look.

"Okay. So basically it's a kid who doesn't have a lot of parental supervision. Given a key and allowed to go out and do.... whatever. They're expected to be more self-sufficient but also just... don't have anyone waiting for them after school. Most of my classmates had that kind of situation. All our folks were busy."

Need serious advice.

Attempting to plan a dinner date. Where would you take someone without trying to act like you're trying too hard?

I want to give her an excuse to dress up because she deserves to feel cute. I also don't want to like, act desperate? Even though I'm super into her?

I have no clue what I'm doing on my end aside from a clear plan of make her feel as amazing as she actually is.


[ Annie is overthinking it. She knows she is. Too late she is all in on this. ]

You might know her. Her name is Peace? She's good people and we're fairly like-minded. She might actually be nicer than me. She has this whole doing the least amount of harm thing.

I respect the hell out of it.
Honestly I have a feeling this isn't going to be like any other date I've been on.

For one it's the first time I'm openly going out with a girl. Plus I haven't been on too many dates here anyways? Dating is hard.

She's good with people. I've noticed she doesn't mind having people who need some stuff explained to them around. She's probably why Altair and I can actually talk without it being weird? He apologized for the thing at the auction.

I mean yes absolutely. That actually sounds like a good idea? It's either that or go visit the cat town because nothing says fun like cute fuzzy critters who will absolutely boss you around. Honestly the easy part is figuring out what to do besides dinner. I have a short list of stuff I know would go over okay.

[He still blames himself. He blames himself for not realizing what was about to happen sooner, for not recognizing that when something's acting weird, the smart thing to do is to get out and regroup, for not finding a way, somehow, to stop it from inside his own mind, and for--

--for liking having it there, until it went badly. It had felt like a friend, until it disregarded everything he wanted.

But he doesn't want to talk about that. He'll just...sit, with the guilt he feels about it. And one day he'll second-die!

at least it didn't wear out my welcome. that's good to know!
thank you

[Wait hang on he's what.

He's...

...he's not good...at making friends. He's very sure of that. It's Yugi, the real Yugi, who's good at that, and the other Yugi just piggybacked off of the connections Yugi made.

There's no way he's a friend to a lot of other monsters. There's Ryou of course, and Noa, and Komaeda, and Horatio now...

...and Celeste and Lust and Annie and Steve and Ima and Amanda, and then there's the people he's friendly with, like Javert and Doppio and Dick and Triffany and others, ​and Riley and the Ring-Spirit are complicated but he cares about them, and...

...

...huh. When did this happen? He...he didn't even realize.

He's still very raw from what's happened, but...it seems like he's not as bad at forming relationships on his own, without Yugi, as he thought.

That's comforting.

of course we're friends!

[ Annie is wholly unaware she has been adopted. She is incredibly fond of Five. No, it's Horatio now, isn't it? He is getting to be on the same level as her best friends she lost. Annie just doesn't always acknowledge they were her sisters in every way that matters. ]

I just found out myself. I kind of haven't been back to my house for much more than checking on it?

I was with Altair during the whole body puppet stuff. He was afraid of me being on my own. Which ended up being legit. We ended up getting chased by a *bear*. Came back to a wrecked couch. Kinda mad about it but better than getting hurt.

[He could go.

Go play an ordinary game.

With a friend.

Who's good for playing games with, and who knows his way around a deck of cards, otherwise he wouldn't have the job he does...

He'll feel better with a deck of playing cards in his hand.
]

oh, I'll bet know your way around already. enough for a good game, I'm sure!

I can't move around during the day, not when there's no fog. but I could play a few hands tonight.
