RP POST: The Perils of Personal Ads

He doesn't want to take the responses, but he knows they're coming.

Well, he thinks he knows. Maybe he'll get lucky and nobody will respond at all. But Phoenix somehow doubts he's that lucky, to be honest. With his luck it's going to be some crazy person with a gun, or who is an assassin in their home dimension, or thinks the color green is really funny. Or who jumps straight to sex. That seems to be common in the Nexus.

He sits in his office, tapping his fingers nervously. Phew. He wishes he could find whoever posted that thing.

((Feel free to post responses to the personal ad here! Poor Phoenix.))

"Yeah, she'll probably end up doing that, knowing my sister. You just be sure to let me know when Maya is planning on meeting her, and I'll make it a point to show up."

Mia sighs, before resting one hand under her chin. She's listening, even if she's doesn't want to be. "...Those two honestly confuse me. I hope I never see either of them in the Sanctuary, or otherwise I won't know what to say to them."

"Reiji was enough of a pain to deal with, but I fear an encounter with Naruhodo, to be blunt. Especially if acts like you did in the past."

He nods. "Will do. I'm sure she'll be interested in meeting you too, being my mentor and all." He makes a mental note, of course, to mention that his ACTUAL mentor is dead until well after this meeting.

He shakes his head. "It's just so weird. Like my entire college life were turned into some sort of soap opera. And now I'm cut out of it." He massages the bridge of his nose.

"I know, it's silly to be involved, but I find myself concerned for both of them. I guess because it's SORT of like seeing my past." He snorts. "Though frankly, I think Naruhodo could USE a visit from you. The guy has no backbone, and now I can't even help give him one because of Reiji. Damnit." He looks frustrated.

"I hope so. Whenever I decide to start dating again, I'll be sure to do the same for you as well." Mia might be saying this in an attempt to make him think that she's still single and the like. After all, she doesn't want him to know about her and Miles just yet.

She can't help but laugh to that comment. "That's the story of life, in a way. It does feel like a soap opera or a badly-written book. " Seeing him get stressed makes Mia worry a little, and she gestures for him to sit down next to her.

"Well, yes, it's like we're viewing the past, but we shouldn't be trying to change their future very much. The Nexus is already doing a good job at screwing that up." She sighs. "Hn. If I was to ever see Naruhodo, I'd probably get angry at him. Just because of his general attitude, more or less."

He nods, though a part of him sinks at the thought that she may already have a boyfriend that he's met. He doesn't dare ask her about it, though -- she wouldn't give him a straight answer, and it's not his business anyway, right? Right? Right. "Duly noted," he replies instead, grinning.

Phoenix groans. "That's just it, though -- it's like that, but exponentially MORE so. Almost ridiculously melodramatic. And they're both idiots on so many fronts..." HE makes a sort of strangling motion, then sighs.

He puts his head in his hands. "I don't know, maybe we've already screwed things up. It's obvious the only reason Reiji is keeping Naruhodo out of the Sanctuary is because of me, and what I might know. If I could just tell him what I know isn't what he THINKS I know..." He groans. "Sometimes I feel like I can't do ANYTHING right."

He does smirk at that last bit, though. "Well, maybe he needs you to get angry at him. You look like this Ayasato woman that apparently defended him in the same case I got stuck in. If she's as, uh, forward with her ideas as you were during that..." He shakes his head. "Well, for the time being it's moot anyway."
