It seems terribly unlikely.

[bakudan_bambino]

I know… I’m feeling pretty targeted

[doesitanyway]

You think this missive was a personal attack?

[bakudan_bambino]

maybe…

[doesitanyway]

That's a potential lead. Who have you been courting recently?

[bakudan_bambino]

courting?! I… you think it might be someone I’m trying to get closer to?

[doesitanyway]

What other explanation is there, since you didn't write it yourself? Let's figure this out: who sent it to you?

[bakudan_bambino]

Vash twice, and Artemis, then... Alucard... and I feel like I'm missing someone... I still have to send out 8 more but 48 is a lot of people and I've already had to start reaching out to strangers.

[doesitanyway]

Vash twice? I'd say he's a likely candidate if I didn't know him well enough. No, can't be... how about this Artemis? Are they handy with the devices?

[bakudan_bambino]

I’d say Vash is just pranking me. Artemis… I don’t know, maybe? I mean… he sends me stuff pretty often

[doesitanyway]

He is a bit of a prankster, but not in this way. When I questioned it he didn't understand the purpose of this himself. And I'm certain Adrian didn't create those flames out of symbols.

So perhaps Artemis is rather more taken with you than you presumed, to have come up with this.

[bakudan_bambino]

yeah?

Maybe it was Artemis…

[doesitanyway]

Now we know who to blame should we all wind up with brain damage.

[bakudan_bambino]

I don't think he'd do something like that. It's probably just so whoever gets bombed will have to maybe meet new people. Or it's a compliment? It felt like a compliment coming from him, anyways.

[doesitanyway]

Perhaps. I couldn't guess at the intentions of someone I don't know. You, however. Should I take it as a compliment coming from you?

[bakudan_bambino]

I wouldn't be unhappy if you did

[doesitanyway]

Then I think I will.

I'd return it as part of my eight, but if you're already resorting to potentially cursing strangers perhaps we can just let it be known I would? Though I don't know if I even have eight friends in the city at this point.

[bakudan_bambino]

It's an interesting way to potentially make more friends. Some of the strangers I've bombed have been really fun to talk to!

[doesitanyway]

I'm sure you've had some worthwhile chats, but 'fun to talk to' isn't something I've ever been accused of before.

[bakudan_bambino]

I think you're fun to talk to, Trevor

[doesitanyway]

Well now I shudder to think what your previous conversation partners must have been like.

[bakudan_bambino]

well... a lot of people just kind of ignore or dismiss me

[doesitanyway]

Very rude. Why do you think that is?

[bakudan_bambino]

Maybe because they think the threat is real, or they think I'm just a stupid kid or they don't want to be approached by a stranger through the network, or they're having a bad day and the 'sex bomb' is just one more thing they're feeling pressure from? Or maybe they don't know how to take a compliment, or are assuming I'm actively hitting on them.

I'm sure they have their reasons. I try not to take it personally.

[doesitanyway]

Wait, you meant here? You just told me you were having fun meeting new people this way.
