(okay it's back to being unactive for years now)

(sorry I haven't been active on anywhere on bluesky but. I think you're an amazing writer that I honestly look up to sometimes, especially with expanding on more serious roleplays, and you were one of the few people in the start of my account that were there with me(?), which is appreciated)

✱ Hidin' it will just make it worse, if anything, people will start to concern themselves more and more withcha till everyone doesn't know who you really are. We don't want that, do we?

✱ 'Course, that can be stopped if ya had a bit more self-control, but that is easier said than done, geheheh...

... maybe ya will have way more self-worth, geheheh! But, people like you for who you are, so, it's as good as it can get that people understand ya, dice-y.

✱ ... Nah, I'm just playin' 'round withcha! Seriously, ye think I act like that? Sometimes, and tis' ain't some kinda sort of advice or nun, but confidence is key, more often than not, yet you need to circle through multiple keys and struggle to find the thing that makes the doors open, one day...

[ He doesn't seem to buy in, for once in his life, his face seems to scrunch in worry. ]

✱ Sorry, feller, but I don't buy it. Seems like somethin' has been shaping you to hide yer feelings, that true?

[ Lighting up a cigar and just turning his back on Battat ]

✱ Nothin', missy.

✱ ... Ye feelin' alright, youngin'?

✱ ... Geheheheh, well, I think you've already come to a conclusion.

👀

✱ I'm old!

(get the fuck off my account)

✱ I'm GREEN

(if you're talking about my post I swear on everyone and my mom I did not mean it in the slightest rude way 😭)

(I meant the underage smoking but I guess you're in here too)

[ The old man doesn't accept refunds, unfortunately. ]

✱ All yours, 'sir', cherish it while ye can, geheheheh!

✱ Amen to that.

✱ Stand still, can't get ya in good frame if ya keep yammerin' on.

[ He finishes it, shoving it to their hand. ]

✱ It's you! Pretty neat, right?

[ It's rushed, and for some reason, he also added 'anime eyes' on you. ]

[ Drawing this down instead of taking a picture. ]

✱ ... Woah.

'Ain't that what love is all about? You concern yourself with the fact that, despite your best of efforts, you won't be able to satisfy the person you truly love. You say you're scared of them doing something that isn't like them, because you're worried about the possibilities. Why do that? Is it because you're not used to such kindness? To such a kind soul? I haven't had luck with people whom I loved, rather, I was scared of losing them. And dwelling on that led me little to nowhere, the thing that truly matters now... Is that they like you, and only you, and passing those hardships together, like people who love each other, is the best part of said relationship that you are so so scared of losing. Appreciate it, it'll last, fluff boy.' - Signed, Gerson Boom.

[ He stares at it for a few, before grabbing his pen, and starting to write down in another blank piece of paper he had... ]

✱ Here, read it up.

(jesus this is gonna hurt my wrist real bad)

(no idea if ralsei delivered that letter to him or not btw)

✱ GYAH HA HAH! Ya betcha he was! It was nice to see, tell ya... but, kinda pitiful.

✱ ... Eh, I guess it's an unique way to depict that poor salesmans situation...

✱ Mmh? Ah, yes, it would, yes it would... Say, did ya ever finish that letter? It's disrespectful to keep an old man like myself waiting!

✱ Now, won'tcha gimme it here...?

✱ ... Sounds unhealthy, kid.

✱ Now, now, don't cry, will ya? I barely even said anythin', Gabs!

✱ You're just like your old man, gehehehh... gettin' so emotional over the smallest of things!

[ He shakes his head, but, wears a smile in his face, like he's proud of Gabi. ]
