DAY 236 [voice]
... So I either slept long and hard or I just fuckin' up and made like mist and evaporated for a bit there.

Either way: orange's still not my color. Noooo thanks. Baggy ass jumpsuit does nothing for a girl's figure. I look like a breadstick. A cheese breadstick, exactly 666 calories from the depths of hell's kitchen. Off the hook and uncontainable, the hard and fast starch diet of kings coming your way with a side of pasta. Mom's spaghetti. Luckily I don't give a rat's ass about shit like that, so I'll eat everyone's share. All of it. Fuckin' mine.

In other news, the god damned weather: what's shakin'? Looking all kinds of stormy gross today on the day that is also day 236. Days.

	Errrrrrr... [He has so many things he wants to say which should he even say first!!!] A bit of this and that, I'm afraid. I'm of course ecstatic to see you back in our grasp!!!! And I think that should be celebrated. But I. Have you spoken with our buddy Dirk as of late? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy pretty much immediately switches off to private. ] Yeah, I was wondering where the guy was. I kinda get the feeling this is leadin' into something bad havin' gone and happened, but... I dunno what would. So just let it out, Jake-man. We're good friends, so don't hesitate a lick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And here there is a distinct sniffle.] I think I have somehow gone and royally mucked things up with him. And the burning part of it all is I don't remember a single moment!! In other words, I have reason to suspect that he is pissed with me. He stormed off this morning with not a word of explanation on the matter!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Yikes. Roxy feels god awful to hear him so upset. ] ... You know, I got a better idea than talking about this all over a fuckin' headset. Let's get icecream and talk it out in person. Lemme give you a real hug. That sound a-ok to you? We can still talk over this if you want but jeez I just want to give your goofball self a squeeze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[BIIIG sniffle.] Right you are, Roxy. All righty, to Chill we go? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Off we fuckin' go. I'm close by already, so I'll meet you there, got it? [ And Roxy will be waiting by the icecream place just as she said. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And Jake sulks on in, looking really sad and pathetic because his emotions just show so freakin' easily on his face. He cannot hide them worth a damn most of the time. He is teary-eyed but not full-on bawling yet. He thinks he has damaged one of his most treasures friendships!!!!] Howdy, Roxy. You're looking as lovely as always, I see.

	Hey, Jake. God, you're such a charmer. Chin up, we're gonna get some dairy delicious then we'll plop down thisaway, get all geared up for the talks. [ But wait!! Roxy moves in to give him a big hug. ] Whatever happened, I'm sure it'll be fine. You should've heard him talk to me about you before. There's no way he's done a total 180.

	[He hugs back - big ol' bear hug!!] I don't know, Roxy... he was all kinds of upset. I don't even think he could even look me in the eye! [Doesn't. Let go of the hug. It's a nice and comforting hug :(] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ She doesn't let go either, swaying a little bit and rubbing him on the back. It's sometimes hard to stay impartial when it comes to Dirk and Jake's relationship, but she can do it for Jake. He needs her right now. ]

Dirk's... real tricky. I bet he's more mad at himself right now than you. Nah, I don't just bet. I guarantee that shit. Whatever happened, it's not irreversible. He loves you, Jakey.

	But Roxy... you didn't see. [He looked so, so angry.] I think I may have just lost my best bro for good. [SNIFFLE SNIFFLE. He's trying to hold it together!!!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shhh. I sure didn't. But you know what?

[ She's pulling away now, if only to look him in the face quite seriously. ]

Lemme tell you something important. Listen up cause I ain't repeating it. When you love someone like that-- for years and years and years, you know?-- you don't just stop caring about them overnight. I'm not really thinking it's possible to move on completely when you've... well, loved someone for so long. He might be pissed now, but give the guy his space for now and he'll come back. Just be patient, lil man. All's well that ends well.

	[~~ROXY YOU HURT ME.~~ Jake takes in her expression, her words. She seems to know exactly what she's talking about. Does that mean...?] Erm. [Should he ask?] Is there something I ought to know, Roxy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] retrogame 2013-09-11 11:52 am UTC (link)
	[ Uh oh. Roxy freezes up momentarily before forcing out a laugh. Busted. ] Nahhh, not right now. We're talking about you, not me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, if you insist, Roxy. [sniffle.] Shall we mosey on along and get our ice cream? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] retrogame 2013-09-11 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ She pats his shoulder. Whew, awkward avoided. The last thing she wants to tell him is that she's in love with his boyfriend. ] Yeah, let's get that icecream. There's a hell of a lot to choose from-- which you think you're gonna get? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He takes her hand and leads her to the counter.] I personally favor the jalapeno flavor! It's one hell of a whopper in your mouth! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Jalapeno icecream.

If Roxy had the proper cultural context to find that weird, she'd find that weird. ]

God, I always end up getting coffee-flavored ice milk deluxe when I come here.

[ Dirk's fault. ]

So let's try something different-- I'll take some jalapeno too. Fuckin pepper icecream, here we go, ready to rock the spice and the sizzle in creamy dairy delight.

	Coffee? And I've never had that...so then let's do the great swap-a-roo!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She laughs and goes up to the counter to order their icecream. The bot whips up the cones and hands them to Roxy, who hands one to Jake. ] Let's take a taste at the same time. You ready for this, Jake? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] skulltop 2013-09-23 12:11 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods in determination, eyebrows scrunched and tongue at the ready.] On the count of three, then? (Reply to this) (Parent)
