[Oh, damn, you can almost hear Clover breathing into the receiver.] Mother of shit.

I just looked at the goddamn calendar.

[Whatever this is about, it must be serious. She sounds absolutely mindblown.]






My birthday was last motherfuckin' week.

Thanks a bunch, Mayfield! Lovin' my time here, ya know?! God, fuck this town.

[noluckduck]

Right then, gotta remember that.

[imoutos]

Eh? Remember it..? .. But.. I-it's still such a long time off, right? Maybe we won't even be here anymore by that time.. well.. hopefully, at least..

( ooc: OOPS got confused with Madoka's-- this is why I don't tag when I'm tired. I meant June 3rd, forgive my derp. )

[noluckduck]

((OOC: I figured, no worries! /patpat))

... I dunno. I sure as hell never thought I'd be here 'til June.

[imoutos]

H-.. have you been stuck in this place for a long time already then..?

[noluckduck]

Been here since December. [That's long enough to her.]

[imoutos]

Since December.. [ she repeats the words, mulling them over a little. ]

I-I've been here since April. .. Last year's April..

[noluckduck]

... Well, shit.

At least you're sorta used to it by now, huh? [Clover can be kind of an inconsiderate idiot.]

[imoutos]

[ in that case it's probably good Nadeko is a complete and utter doormat.. ]

.. H.. hmm.. Sort of, I suppose.. [ ... ] It's mostly thanks to people being really nice that I even got this far. E-even some people who already are gone helped me a lot, so I'm glad..

[noluckduck]

... Ya lose anybody recently?

Fuck, never mind, that's a dumb question.

[imoutos]

A-ah, it's not dumb at all..! [ yes, it is, just to anyone who isn't overly polite Nadeko.. ]

.. I just.. um.. everyone I used to live with got droned.. e-every single one of them. It's a little weird, isn't it..?

[noluckduck]

Shit. How many people did ya live with?

[imoutos]

Three.. T-there was Japan-san, Taiwan-san and Akemi-san. But.. I've a-also lived with other people who all got droned too.. There's been quite a few now.

.. Maybe this town j-just dislikes me..

[noluckduck]

Ah, man, I think I remember talkin' to Japan once.

... The hell are ya sayin'? The town hates everybody/i>.

[imoutos]

B-but.. don't you think it might hate s-some people more than others then, maybe..?

[noluckduck]

What even makes ya say that?

[imoutos]

S-.. some other people I know.. they've been living together f-for a long time now here. But everyone I know keeps leaving..

[noluckduck]

Well... That's just luck for ya.

[imoutos]

[ ... ]

I'm sorry.. that I bothered you with all this.

[noluckduck]

Hey, you're not botherin' me.

[imoutos]

But.. I'm t-telling you all of these things, and maybe you wouldn't c-care about them, so..

[noluckduck]

If I didn't care, I wouldn't be listenin'.

[imoutos]

... Um.. you're really kind. T-thank you for listening to me, it makes me.. a little happy..

[noluckduck]

... Hey, can I ask ya somethin'?

[imoutos]

[ She's a little surprised, and it shows in the way she's quiet and blinks for a few moments before speaking up again. ]

S-sure.

[noluckduck]

... [God, this is going to sound so weird.]

How's school for ya? People pick on ya often? I'm pretendin' the town's drones are people too just for that question.
