[Things have been difficult for him lately and he's been avoiding "certain people" with a vengeance, but there is always one thing that he knows can cheer him up.

Souji opens his journal one day and with as bright and cheerful a voice as he can muster (which is kind of like rainbows barfing sunshine) he says:]

So who here is being a grumpy grump after the holidays? I know you're out there~

I've heard of at least two: the one with the spiky hair who hates being asked about it and the one with the skirt who hates it being called a skirt.

There have to be more, aren't there? [He degrades into what sounds like baby talk.] So who's being a grumpy-wumpy bear, hm?

[faithfulflame]

Yes...

[Oh so wary...]

[Video]

[ahappylie]

...Is it good?

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

It's...alright. The fruity ones are better than the others.

[Video]

[ahappylie]

How can you tell the difference? I heard they just had colours.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

The color corresponds to a flavor, Souji-san. Just like with Pixel-Sticks.

[Video]

[ahappylie]

...What flavour is blue? ...or blue-green for that matter?

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

Blue raspberry I think? And blue-green could be watermelon or sour apple.

[Video]

[ahappylie]

...Raspberries are blue? I thought they were red? Or are those red things in the store not raspberries? Someone told me they were...

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

They're Raspberries, but I think blue raspberries aren't real and they're only a flavor.

[Video]

[ahappylie]

...How can they make a flavor from something that isn't real? Is that safe?

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

It is, yes. It's...a Western thing, I think. From America. But it tastes okay.

[Video]

[ahappylie]

I suppose it wouldn't be too bad to try, then. Bolin-kun is bringing some by~

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

...[Scowl.]

Are you sure that's safe?

[Video]

[ahappylie]

Why wouldn't it be? You just said it was.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

I didn't mean the taste, I meant adding more sugar. [Gosh, you're as bad as Usagi...]

[Video]

[ahappylie]

....Eh. [Souji gives what would later be called a Kanye Shrug, but for now it is the Souji shrug. He doesn't think it's dangerous at all.]

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

Alright.

So is that what prompted this broadcast? Or are you trying to do something like Haruhi-san?

[Video]

[ahappylie]

Oh, I was bored. [And still feeling a little awkward about that whole "Hey, you saw me at my most vulnerable touchy-feely moment" thing.]

And then I remembered there were people I could tease and that neeeever fails to entertain me.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

Sometimes, I think you're a little absurd.

[She laughs though, not meaning it.]

But you're very sweet. And, I suppose I owe you an apology for the other day.

[Video]

[ahappylie]

If you didn't, I'd be worried about you.

[He also laughs, but he means it.]

And an apology? Why, because you were spying on us?

[He laughs again, lightheartedly]

I wouldn't worry about it - I'm quite used to being spied on. I'm more upset that I didn't notice than that you got away with it.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

[Her brow furrows]

I meant for teasing you. I wasn't spying, you were just in a public place.

[Video]

[ahappylie]

[Teasing? Oh...right. Souji shrugs and shakes his head.]

I wouldn't tease people myself if I couldn't handle a little. It's been awhile since anyone here had the guts to do it, so it actually a bit nostalgic.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

Oh? The guts, huh? And why wouldn't they? You're a sweet man.

[And let's be honest. Rei is a scary girl.]

[Video]

[ahappylie]

I can be - to people who aren't spying on me.

[He kills most people who spy on him. Sooo not so sweet.]

But since we're friends, it's a little different.

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

[In fairness, she knows that he's a soldier and a little bit warped in a way. And that he'd never intentionally hurt her.]

Well I'm glad for that. I hope you'll forgive my impertinence, I really didn't intend to.
