[SOMEBODY'S HELLA SICK. Henry's avoiding his dorm to keep himself away from his roommate while he's sick. At first, he also tried his best to stay away from everyone else. But when the fever intensified, he forgot why he had to put in the effort.

It's because his magical talents tend to go a little haywire while he's ill.

He can be found stumbling about in a feverish daze while classes are supposed to be going on, but he's obviously not attending. When he's not doing that, he's asleep somewhere. Wandering around all the time exhausts him. While he's sleeping, he can be found sleeping in an appropriate spot, such as the sofa in the common room or leaning over a table in the corner of the library.

Uh... He can also be found sleeping in a completely inappropriate spot, like the middle of the floor. It happens.]

[WHAT THIS ALL MEANS is that Henry can accidentally curse some characters without meaning to. YOUR CHARACTER WON'T EVEN SEE IT COMING. Contact me here if you want somebody to get cursed. We can discuss details and your character can be appropriately upset.]

Hmmnn... So deep, and entirely unnecessary, huh~? Caring about what other people think sounds like a lot of work.

[The dark mage lifted his hand from Brown's sleeve, testing his ability to stand independently. He seemed to do fine, so he proceeded walking with Brown at his side. His pace was sluggish.]

So you two could sympathize over feelings of betrayal, huh...? Maybe you should try to be more honest, because lying's a form of betrayal~ Did you know? Liiike... if you lie to an army about your identity, you can get slaughtered on the spot. Shouldn't the same thing apply to interactions like that~? You're fibbing about who you are.

[cowardlyjustice]

Of course I know 'bout that, like I said, I'm working my way around it. It's not like this is all a complete lie, I mean, some of this is still 'me' in a way. Different casing, same software; heard of that one before?

Though that's not entirely right either I guess. It's more like... I did try to change so people would like me, some of this is real while some are- y'know, pieces that don't fit and fake. Somethin' like that.

[cruelcurse]

[No. He'd never heard of the phrase "different casing, same software." But he didn't have a chance to say otherwise.]

Huh~ I don't really get why you'd change yourself over something like that. If somebody doesn't like you, find the next person who does. Lying doesn't get you anybody you can really trust.

[Ha ha ha. Henry doesn't even realize what he's saying.]

[cowardlyjustice]

It's not just the somebody- it's more of somebodies. Kids are brutal and they come in numbers, it helps that junior high has the overall rating of 'stupid decisions' than most of your life, only comin' in second to high school and probably college.

[Sigh.] You're right though, it doesn't really get me anywhere. I mean, 's not like I'm unaware that I'm just fillin' in for some naive fantasy for a me that hadn't even cracked in the puberty zone yet.

[cruelcurse]

[He laughed. He was mostly able to keep up, but he was so headache-y that it was a bit of a chore to think deeply on the matter. Not that he was the type to begin with. Not very good with that sort of insightful stuff.]

Sure, alright~ This sounds like a lot of stuff you're gonna have to combat. Though you wouldn't need to hear it from somebody like me, would you? Ahaha~ I can't even begin to imagine myself in your shoes. What a way to live~

[He mostly imagined it like having to act out, from what he was hearing. And Henry was sure that he didn't act out. Oh, no. The most he did was put on a mood, but that was because he didn't know any other way. Brown seemed to be one way, and then he gave himself a different script to follow.] Sounds like... a lot of work.

[cowardlyjustice]

Nope, I don't really think you would know. Probably. No idea, to be honest.

It's a lot of work, yeah. It's a bit of acting with improvs here and everywhere.

[cruelcurse]

[He hummed.] See, and you even know it... I don't get that sort of thinking one bit. Ahaha, but I'm in no position to think anything of it. I don't feel strongly about it.

[He shrugged half-heartedly. He truly wasn't making for a very good person to be on the receiving end of a truthful confession.]

[cowardlyjustice]

It ain't a walk in the park, that's for sure. You'd have to have a set of answers and ideas, and then you'd still be able to make fuck ups about it.

[Frankly it was starting to be more of awkward than anything for Brown as well.]

Enough of my talks, I'm pretty sure you're probably sick of hearin' me yapping on and on about stuff. Who's dorm you're next to? I probably knew it once but I'm kinda foggy on the details.
