Lotus One

[spandexisyouth]

[The handwriting is a bit messy, likely because it's hurried. Clearly the writer had a bit of energy while they wrote in the journal.]

So I am now writing on paper so that I can talk to everyone! It does not make sense, but if everyone does it there must be a reason why.

I am YOUTH! And I am confused. When is an apple not an apple, and why would someone set a challenge where one must find an apple that is not an apple? Are there teachers that are not teachers that eat apples that are not apples? I will not give up! I will prevail!

ALSO! How does one write with sparkles? I think I would like to use them.

Uh, no it's not a social outing--more like a get-in/get-out kind of trip.

To avoid unnecessary words.

Oops.

[spandexisyouth]

But that is not as much fun!

The words were needed anyway! You made more work for yourself!

Do not worry! I understand! It is a defensive tactic! You are intimidated by this place and are using it as a shield! But everyone here seems friendly. I do not think you need to use it.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

For who?

So I see. I'll remember that with you from now on.

Oh, yeah, sure. This isn't just how I normally converse, no.

[spandexisyouth]

Would it not be more fun for the both of us? Company is fun!

Excellent! We will remember things and we will talk and write more!

I am not sure if that is sarcasm or not. The writing thing makes this more complicated.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I kind of prefer my solitude.

More?

Of course it does.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh. Well. If you do not want to meet up, then we do not have to meet up. Or write more. I can be quiet when it is needed! Even if it is difficult!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Now there's a real challenge for you.

[spandexisyouth]

To be quiet? I do not think I want to take that challenge. It would not be fun!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You forfeit, then?

[spandexisyouth]

NO! I DO [First portion is crossed out almost right away.] No. I cannot forfeit what I have not accepted yet!

I am already on a challenge! [There's a pause in the writing, and the pen taps on the page.] For how long would your challenge last?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

[shaded is darkened out after a moment of reconsideration] How long do you think is fair? Maybe we should start simple--since I'm not sure you're up for a real challenge like that yet.

[spandexisyouth]

A real challenge? A REAL CHALLENGE? I can take any challenge you give to me! I do not enjoy being quiet, but I can prove that I am capable of it!

Must I be quiet with everyone, or only with you? That will help determine how long would be fair!

Now I'm gonna have to provoke him into replying~

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Can you now. I might have to see if you can really hold to your claim. And as for your silence, we'll have to see...

...Just me, I guess. Should we make a bet of it?

Poor Youth!

[spandexisyouth]

I can! SILENCE? There is a difference between silence and quiet, I am certain!

Yes! We will make a bet of it!

Like he'd pick a bad wager for a perfect stranger... >.>

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Oh, alright. Quiet, then. Because I doubt you could do silent at all.

What would you like to bet? Money? Something you should do when you lose?

Oh yay, so digging his own grave won't be so bad after all!

[spandexisyouth]

You do not know me! If there was a need, I could! But there is no need!

Let us bet something that I should do!

Sure...you believe that.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, practice before there's a real need, hm?

... [it takes a while before his pen taps and false starts/stray lines become words] I'll go easy on you this time. You can do my laundry for a month.

He will!

[spandexisyouth]

Exactly! Sort of.

And if I win, you will do my laundry in return! So how long shall this last, Bell? One week?

But of course.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Sort of?

You drive a hard bargain, Youth. But fine. If you win.
A week, sure. Good luck.

[spandexisyouth]

I do not need practice. I can do it.

I drive a hard bargain? I am not the one Very well. Good luck to you too. I will not need it.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll get my laundry ready.

[Written very small and carefully. With no exclamation points on purpose, though it's hard.]

[spandexisyouth]

I must go buy more clothing. This is not comfortable as it is.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Chafing? More information than needed, Youth-kun.

[spandexisyouth]

No. It is too loose. It does not feel right.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Right...
