R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

It does.

[ he'd told rebecca that hank was his home. he couldn't deny that, but: ]

It's very dangerous. I feel so strongly about Han that it scares me. But if he asked me never to see Hank, I don't know what I'd do.

[ and if hank asked him never to see han? well. that was less of a hypothetical. ]

Humans make things very complicated, Lucian. Don't get involved with them this way.

[childrenofinvention]

Haha— Humans have a way of making anything complicated. “Simple” doesn’t really suit them. But who says that’s a bad thing? I personally enjoy things a little messy.

They can adapt to a lot of complicated situations. Heck. Some of them choose to live like that.

Can you really say that Han wouldn’t accept your feelings... all of them not just the ones you have for him?

[preconstruction]

I don't know. But I'm afraid I would hurt him just bringing it up.

[childrenofinvention]

You could just as easily hurt him by hiding it.

And uh... I don't wanna-- well. You're not really good at hiding it.

But I guess that's to be expected, especially when emotions are involved.

After all... the kind of intimacy you have with Hank is... hmm... it's. Kiiiiiiinda just short of fucking without actually touching him downstairs, you know?

[preconstruction]

[ ok connor is blunt but he doesn't talk like that. ]

I don't -- I wouldn't classify it that way.

[childrenofinvention]

Well yeaaaah. I'd say we're pretty different, you and I.

[maybe that's why he finds you so funny. it's good. just different.]

Doesn't mean everyone doesn't see it.

If you're not honest with yourself ya could still lose them both. That's why my philosophy has always been complete honesty.

[preconstruction]

[ well. lucian accomplished something -- connor just looks guilty now. ]

I wouldn't want that to happen.

[childrenofinvention]

...why don't you try what I did with Yoosung and Mishima?

If you're giving it to them from the heart, I have a good feeling they'll understand.

The fact that they both like you this much isn't just some kind of mistake you know. They like you the way you are. So? Go ahead and give it to them, right?

[wink]

[preconstruction]

Humans aren't like that, though. Human relationships are built between two people. Being someone's boyfriend, it's about commitment and staying by their side.

[childrenofinvention]

.....I feel like you need an update.

That's not how all relationships work.

Three people can date. Couples can swing and share different partners... two people can date one person and not even care about the other. Relationships aren't just built one way.

[preconstruction]

Maybe for some humans.

[ but maybe not his humans??? ]

[childrenofinvention]

Well yeah. Feelings don't always fit into nice, conformed squares. They don't for you.

Sure it's complicated and not everyone might get it.

But people that care will listen. No way in hell those two won't hear you out.

Sure beats having an illicit emotional affair.

Unless you like the thrill of danger then...

[preconstruction]

[ he hears him, and he considers it, and then: ]

Why are you so concerned with my relationships?

[childrenofinvention]

Mmm... I wouldn't say "concerned". I think you'd figure it out on your own if given the time.

But who wants to waste time missing out?

If that's not a good enough answer well then-- you can just chalk it up to the fact that I don't dislike you.

And the fact that you're not bad looking doesn't hurt either.

[preconstruction]

So you're hoping the open-mindedness will leave room for you.

[ hes not judging??? actually he sounds like hes okay with the idea that's where this is coming from; he really didn't see any reason why this would be altruistic. ]
