Who: Kara and Jacuzzi
When: Sometime today (February 8) I guess.
Where: Locke City Community College
What: Dorm invasion! Er. Kara makes good on her threat promise to bring over snacks and brainstorm about helping Jacuzzi be less panicky. She's also probably going to teach him wrestling moves.
Warnings: Aggressive friendship. Really aggressive.

[contrary to Jacuzzi's fervent hopes, Kara has not forgotten her offer of help. quite the opposite, in fact - she's got a large container of piping hot borscht and savory pampushky all packed up in a quilted tote bag and a list of possible ways to decrease anxiety attacks tucked safely away between all the food.

she's obviously excited for the outing as she stands in the middle of the community college's campus, ponytail bobbing up and down in time with her heel-rocking. wrestling Jacuzzi's specific dorm room out of him had seemed a little too pushy, so she'd settled for convincing him to spill the general location and have them meet up instead. hey, maybe he had a better idea for where they could go anyway.

in the meantime, she's scanning the crowd while she waits. it shouldn't be hard for Jacuzzi to pick her out, at least: she's six feet tall and sporting fire engine red hair.


ooc; I started with brackets because I'm lazy but feel free to go with whatever style you prefer. :|b]

You are still young! There is much to explore in this world and plenty of time for you to do it.

[gunhearted]

And only another semester to choose a major.

[chernobolt]

I have been told that one's major is not so ironclad when it comes to career as it is originally implied.

[Kara doesn't count, obviously, because she's so laser-guided that she'd have gone into astrophysics even if she couldn't have afforded education]

[gunhearted]

Yeah, but the one I choose is where all my skills are gonna come from right? I still have no idea. I'm no good at math and I'm too shaky for science. I failed every speech in my class and only passed the class because my professor though it would be pathetic to make me try again.

[chernobolt]

You will receive many skills from your education, but not all of them. Even if you do not feel you have chosen correctly, you will still have learned what does not work for you!

[gunhearted]

[He doesn't look any more certain at this idea. He takes another few seconds to sulk but then shakes his head.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to make the conversation about me or anything. You're here as a guest and everything--!

[chernobolt]

Yes, as your guest! It would not be right if we did not speak of you at least a little bit.

[gunhearted]

I don't like talking about myself or anything, so it's okay if we don't anymore.

[chernobolt]

Might we speak about you for a tiny bit more? It will not take long, I promise.

[because lmao Kara just remembered that she never actually told him she figured out how to help with his anxiety]

[gunhearted]

If--if you really want to... [Jacuzzi has a problem with saying no.]

[chernobolt]

I do! It is just that I would feel very poor if I left without telling you what I have discovered when it was the entire purpose of my visit.

[she smiles gently]

I believe that all you require is good friends.

i do not know how this tag got lost

[gunhearted]

[He blinks at her, confused.] What do you mean?

it took a wrong turn somewhere obvs

[chernobolt]

[the smile widens]

Exactly what it sounds like I am meaning! You have been very calm during our visit today, yes?

i told it to make a left when it hit the fork

[gunhearted]

I have?? [HE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE HE'S A DUMB.]

yeah, that's what always gets them

[chernobolt]

Yes! It has been a wonderful thing to witness, especially since it is something so simply which caused it.

[IT'S OK SHE NOTICED FOR YOU YW]

[gunhearted]

[He blinks once. Twice. He hasn't cried yet. Huh.]

It's not because I'm faking or anything! Really! I just never--I never noticed...

[chernobolt]

It very often happens that people who are closely involved in a problem cannot see new openings of when things change. That is why outside perspectives are so useful!

[she giggles]

And do not worry; I did not suspect you of falsehoods anyway.

[gunhearted]

[He just. He's confused now.]

I never really spent a lot of time with anybody like this...

[chernobolt]

There is no time like now to begin! I truly believe it will do you good.

[gunhearted]

... But I don't have any other friends.

[chernobolt]

They can be made! And in the meantime I am more than happy to meet again for the friendly bonding.

[gunhearted]

I don't want to take up a lot of your time. You have to have a lot more studying to do than me.

[chernobolt]

I am very good at the multiple tasking! And there is always time for friends.

[gunhearted]

J-just please try not to go out of your way...

[chernobolt]

There will be no way to go out of, I can assure you!
