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.))

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."
