I...lied, back in the trial. [ and then suddenly his words speed up, like he's rushing to explain. ] The power I used was actually the one I got last week, to make two people fall in love for a few days.
[ buries his face in his hands and then, just barely peeking through his fingers: ]
[ yeah, he figured kotetsu, fellow prankster and Dadliest Dad to Have Ever Dadded, would be okay about it, hence why he's confessing to him, but also
sucks in air through teeth ]
I talked to Sholmes, the day after the curse ended, and he...didn't look too great. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to him, but now? I'm not so sure.

w1, saturday
very noisily.
because Amparo is screeching and flying all around his head, pecking him on the head and shoulders the whole way. ]
Hey!! Quit it already, will you--I'm not gonna--ow!!
no subject
You okay over there?
no subject
I just wanted to know--fine, god!--uh, I guess, how mad is van Zieks at you for that rhyming thing?
no subject
...Are you implying that you think he might have voted for me?
no subject
What? No! Psh, I doubt he would've anyway, he's so uptight about "the law" and stuff, no way he'd vote over a petty grudge like that.
I just meant...in general.
no subject
Honestly? I have no clue. But I know he wouldn't do that much.
no subject
...and what about his friends?
no subject
[ there's a firmness to his tone at that, obviously not a shred of doubt ]
no subject
I'm asking, how mad are they all about the rhyming thing you did?!
no subject
I haven't heard from Susato, but I bet Sholmes isn't mad.
no subject
[ is it cuz you two are bangin ]
no subject
[ NO!!!! ]
no subject
...I might have screwed up.
[ Amparo suddenly squawks loudly in his ear and pecks at his head again ]
no subject
What did you do?
no subject
[ buries his face in his hands and then, just barely peeking through his fingers: ]
...I used it on van Zieks and Sholmes.
no subject
[ he suddenly looks so tired from that statement. he drags his hands slowly down his face and nods ]
Yeah. That was kind of a big mistake.
no subject
I-I thought it'd be funny! Like the rhyming thing!! Those two are so goofy all the time, and I--
...you can't tell them. You're not gonna tell 'em, right? You can't.
no subject
I get it, kid. But that kind of thing doesn't work out that way for everyone. I'm not mad at you, but. Just... don't do anything like that again.
If you really don't want me saying anything, I won't. But I think you should tell them. Or, at least, tell Sholmes.

no subject
I'm sure some people might be able to joke it off, but things like that can be pretty complicated. I think he's starting to do better, at least.
no subject
[ ...GROANS AGAIN AT THE MEMORY OF IT ]
Why did I do that?!
