Text UN: 1stStrike CW: Comp Het/Internalized homophobia?

[strikefirster]

[Johnny Lawrence stares at his Omni briefly. Ever since the whole speed dating fiascothe month before there has been something nagging at him. Something that didn't quite feel right to him.

Which is what brings him to his Omni today. And after two or three times where he is accidentally posted on the network one would think he'd learn his lesson, right?]

How not to be gay.

Is doing karate with dudes gay now?

[Wrong.

The network is not google, Johnny.]

Comments

[slightlytaller]

They are. So is Chozen, if you've had the pleasure of meeting him.

[fogsong]

I have not but now I'll keep an eye out for him. He do the karate shit, too?

[slightlytaller]

Yes.

We helped each other when he came ashore. Madame Generosity was really toying with me, however, so I don't think he noticed anything about me.

[fogsong]

What, did you want him to recognize how hot you are?

You know this is public, right? And he might totally see this?

[slightlytaller]

I'm aware. This is me not caring.

I just don't want to be seen as the kid he met me as. I'm 31, not 19.

[fogsong]

Daring. I like it.

19 isn't a kid. [ ...says the 19 year old. ] But you could always text him or something? Ask him to get a drink? Then you can show him you're not 19 anymore.

[slightlytaller]

...I thought that when I was 19, too.

[Whomever this kid was-- they were amusing. All the kids were.

They were all good, too.]

You're right, it should. I've usually been the person that stays in their apartment when they can, because people are tiring.

Also. Meeting new people is a little nerve wracking.

[fogsong]

[ That makes her roll her eyes. Adults (derogatory) ]

I've never related to a sentence more in my life. People are fucking exhausting. If I don't have to be out, I prefer to stay home, too.

But this Chozen guy isn't new so you shouldn't be all nerves, right?

[slightlytaller]

I was a BRAT to him.

sds. It's embarrassing to think about.

[fogsong]

Call me Sharon. Sharon Da Silva. [ hence sds ]

And you were a teenager in a crazy, fucked up world. Taking him out would be a great way to make up for your younger self's brattiness.

[slightlytaller]

You make an excellent point, Sharon.

Call me Mackenzie.

I'll ask him. The worst that can happen is that he says 'no'.

[fogsong]

I hope it goes well, Mackenzie.
