"Too bad; I'm busy with some shit. I'm only calling you back if you're a pretty woman ♥"
Re: post New Years
That is an objectively accurate statement.
Would Gojyo have to be drunk to directly signal that they have some sort of relationship in a place where other people can see? Well, it depends on what you count as 'proof' and also Armand's mood.
Re: post New Years
Getting your new year's fortune drawn at a shrine? Eh, that's a close second.
"Bet most people were pretty wasted too, right?"
So maybe they won't remember too many details... or something. Gojyo turns the coffee maker on before returning to the kitchen table with his ill-gotten jug of orange juice.
Re: post New Years
He likely wouldn't have gone at all if he didn't have people to watch out for. He also used it for some general people watching, but the first part is what matters at the moment.
"There was a range. Certain people are better at holding their liquor - or in choosing not to drink as much. Even if it is New Year's."
There are a lot of people who could have clear memories and who might have been looking around at the time. You never know.
just assume this entire thread is going to be full of internalised homophobia
Oh nooo. Who saw? How many people are now looking at Gojyo and thinking he's-- well. And, look, he knows by now that literally no one on this weirdo ship thinks anything of it, like it isn't weird, actually, when there are plenty of women on board...
Gojyo stuffs the toast into his mouth, for lack of more clever commentary to make.
no subject
Repression is one of the healthier responses to potential problems, and people's persistence in suggesting otherwise is because there are far too many people who don't understand how to properly cope in society.
What Gojyo says in private is Armand's business, now that he's decided it is.
He takes a very pointed sip of tea. "I talked with a few new arrivals. I don't think you remember."
no subject
"You pissed 'cause I got wasted? Sorry if I was obnoxious, but it was a party."
no subject
no subject
He probably should follow that up with asking what the matter is, then, but he doesn't feel like having a talk like this so early in the morning. Especially not in light of the horror that he might have kissed a man in public.
Gojyo gets up to pour himself a cup of coffee.
no subject
Instead, he has his own cup of tea and continues working on beating the next level of solitaire on his iPad (he's been doing them in order).
"Do you have plans for the day?" He asks when coffee has had a chance to be drunk.
no subject
Even with liquids and some food under the vest Gojyo doesn't exactly feel great.
"Wanna watch something?"
Curling up on the couch feeling sorry for his poor head seems like a good use of the day.
no subject
"I can pick something without any loud noises," he adds, a little dryly. Sucks to have to deal with things like hangovers, and he's glad he doesn't have to.
no subject
(The coffee cup, the plate and the juice jug all get left on the table for the magical dish washing fairies to take care of.)
no subject
exactly as understanding of what matters as he should becute.)Only the first movie is a silent film. Armand thinks the play version of He Who Gets Slapped has a better ending, but it's still a good film.
He does think that The Children's Hour is the perfect follow up.
no subject
He's more attentive when the second movie plays. And, well, that's... depressing.
"This one made in your world?"
Most movies Armand chooses are, but not every single one.
no subject
When Armand chooses a move from a different world it isn't always one of the stranger ones - he's been known to pick out an action movie that at least has cinematography that's almost up to his standards - but it is usually from the angle of an interest in some film technique or other.
"It's based off a play." He'd seen it back in Paris, on one of the nights he'd felt like watching someone else direct. "Which in turn was based off a true story. Though the details were changed a little for the stage."
no subject
Gojyo shifts a little, getting into a more comfortable position.
"Didn't think people in your world had hang-ups about that kind of thing."
no subject
"Most people here are from places and times when it's considered acceptable, but it doesn't make it true everywhere. The case this was based on took place over two hundred years before 'my' time." He scoffs a little. "There are even some vampires who have hangups about sexuality, which is even more ridiculous."
It's one thing to believe whatever when your mortal, but to hold onto it when you're an undead monster who hunts the night for blood? It's even more embarrassing.
no subject
Of course that shit still sticks with you. Gojyo already regrets this line of conversation: it's not the kind of talk he ever wants to have.
"Whatever. People are stupid in all worlds everywhere, the end."
no subject
He shakes his head.
"I suppose that's one thing about being... taken by a group of fanatics, they cared about different things." He considers a moment. "Well, they likely considered it some sort of sin and therefore proper for a vampire."
no subject
"Weirdos."
no subject
no subject
It's just to clarify, not an accusation. It sounds like Armand isn't including himself in that.
no subject
And he didn't want to be alone.
"But that was a long time ago." Goyjo might think that it’s wrong to get too close when angry, but Armand disagrees and moves to see if he can lean against him. Besides, he might be upset but he’s semi-frequently been upset by people he loves and it doesn’t change his feelings.
