Um... So...


[Allen sounded rather awkward to say the least and he honestly felt it. He really had no idea what exactly was going on with him either. It was different but was it a good thing or bad.]

I need to talk to someone about something. It's not medical related, at least I really hope not. I just have something I need help with, that's all.

Acting differently how?

[ Look how patient she's being, despite that sort of thing not coming naturally to Alice in the slightest. But she likes Allen, so really, she's making an attempt here. ]

What specifically have you noticed that's different?

Voice

[sos_pilot]

Yeah, you know, having feelings, liking someone, getting mushy about them...

... OOOH.

Is that it?!

Re: Action

[light_of_willpower]

Sounds like you're anxious about something. Nervous.

Voice

[goingthroughaphase]

Sure. I'll be at one of the tables here, okay?

[blitzcheer]

You're on! Having a rival always makes challenges fun!

Voice

[mynameisallen]

Eh?!

I mean, of course, I would like a friend. They wouldn't be a friend otherwise.

[He isn't nessissarily wrong about that.]

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

No, I mean like like - love!

Re: Action

[mynameisallen]

Maybe, but I'm not sure about what exactly.

[mynameisallen]

The word I might be looking for was anxious. I seem to be getting more anxious, which isn't like me at all. I usually feel guilty for the most part or if I feel anything I fake it till I make it, but can't really this time.

[Does that help?]

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Okay, got it.

[He remembered where it was compared to where he was, so he knew it might take him a little while. Once he finally got there and saw her he waved slightly and made his way over. Sure he looks fine, but internally is another matter.]

Hey, Were you reading something before I came?

[mynameisallen]

So meet you at the gym then?

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Huh? Love is the same thing right? Like love for friends and family?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

... Buddy, the more you fight it, the guiltier you look.

Re: Action

[light_of_willpower]

Well, have you noticed any patterns about when it shows up? Any commonalities or triggers?

[irrationally]

Hm. [ It's a thoughtful noise. Being anxious does not really seem like Allen, that much is true.. For all of the opinions Alice holds about the other, being some sort of anxious wreck sure isn't one of them. ]

And you've been thinking about it and can't figure out why you're feeling so anxious?

[ That'd explain the vagueness. ]

Voice

[mynameisallen]

I'm not fighting it, though. Love is a very complicated thing that I don't necessarily understand every aspect to.

Re: Action

[mynameisallen]

I guess I have. A friend I knew arrived recently.

[mynameisallen]

Pretty much. I figured I would try and figure it out just myself first. But I got nothing doing that.

[Which... shouldn't be all that surprising considering Allen really didn't know much about the way he was feeling. Nothing that has ever really happened before.]

Voice

[sos_pilot]

All right, then I guess I've got to cut straight to the core.

You wanna kiss this person?

Re: Action

[light_of_willpower]

That's a good thing right? I mean, being kidnapped by the train aside. You're not sure how to behave around them, and you're not sure why?

[irrationally]

Sometimes feelings can't be explained.

[ Which.. she knows isn't too helpful, but it's something Alice does believe in, considering her own problems with emotions getting out of hand withotu reason. ]

It could be not just one specific thing bothering you. Perhaps it has more to do with your general mood, or with nothing at all. Brains can behave in strange ways.

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Do I wanna kiss them?

[He at least knew what kissing was. Feelings are harder than actions to figure out.]

I mean...I think so. Yes.

Re: Action

[mynameisallen]

It is and before...I was pretty okay in how I acted around them, but this time it's different for some reason.

Though I get the feeling this thing was around before they came back into my life and I just didn't notice.

[mynameisallen]

Brains are a complicated thing in general, huh?

[He could understand that at least, considering his brain itself is a confusing thing.]

I'm sure I'll be able to figure at least this out with help either way.

[irrationally]

[ Tell her about it. The story of most of Alice's life has just been her giant struggle with her own brain and its terrible state.. ]

You seem optimistic. [ And since Alice realises that, coming from her, that could be taken as something negative, she quickly adds: ] It's a good thing. Don't misunderstand this, but I want you to be able to figure it out.

[ Yes, don't misunderstand it as her caring or anything! G-Geez, like she'd care! ]
