Yo dudes, can't come to the phone right now. You'll have to leave a message and I'll get right back to ya.

Maybe you should ask her. I'm sure she would be willing to tell you.

Sounds about right. [Part of him had suspected there was more to him than he got to see and he was right. He just had no idea he was Chat. In hindsight, it was pretty obvious and he should have figured it out sooner. Oh well.]

From:

modelcatizen

I'm a bit afraid to. It might prompt her to 'confess.' [Making air quotes.] And I'm not quite ready for that conversation yet. I still haven't figured out how much is genuine feelings of attraction and how much is she THINKS she should have a crush on me. Either way, I see her as more of a sister than anything, so it gets uncomfortable real fast without knowing how I need to handle it.

Yeah.

But it's like....I know Chat as the coping mechanism isn't good. And I have some pretty bad identity issues at this point. But I have them because I'm trying to work through my other issues and Chat could do what Adrien couldn't. So like. I'm adding different issues, but at least I'm working through other issues instead of being stagnant. And at least I can do productive things WITH Chat while dealing with the issues instead of being an anxiety ridden mess constantly micromanaging my own behavior.

So honestly the life and death stuff doesn't seem like a big deal to me because I'm kind of on the edge of an existential breakdown every so often.

....I really didn't plan to have this talk today, I'm pretty sure I'm dumping a lot on you and I almost killed you the other day, I'm sorry I'm just....a total disaster.

From:

djbubbles

[Oh boy. Yeah he can see how uncomfortable that would be.]

It's okay, dude. Better to let it all out than bottling it up. [Funny he should say that considering he was starting to do the same before the storm.]

I'm just glad everything's cleared up between us and it's cool now.

From:

modelcatizen

[There is actually a momentary look of surprise. Then his shoulders hunch, and then he has a small, shy smile that's more fit on Adrien's face than Chat as the meaning really sinks in.]

....yeah. Yea, it's....it's nice to be honest about that.

From:

djbubbles

[If he didn't already know the truth, that would have looked weird. But instead it's kind of comforting in a strange way to see past the usual act Chat puts up.]

I bet. I know I would have liked to be able to confine in other people about being Chat besides Plagg.

[He kinda wishes Plagg was here now.]

From:

modelcatizen

[He chuckled.] Also nice someone else actually knows him. I'm pretty sure everyone thinks Plagg is a lot more awesome than he is since I'm usually only talking about the nice things when I mention him.

From:

djbubbles

Yeah and I have a feeling if he shows up, he'll get spoiled at first before everyone wises up.

[He makes a face.] I don't know how he could like Camembert. That stuff is gross. He gave me some one time for a birthday present and I only ate it to be nice.

From:

modelcatizen

At least it shouldn't be long for people to figure him out.

You're nicer than me. I outright refused his stinky cheese.

From:

djbubbles

Nope, not at all. Sooner if either of us tell people.

[He shrugs.] If I ever meet him again, I'll refuse any future offers.

From:

modelcatizen

[Pats his shoulder.] You're a brave man for eating it. He likes to ferment it.

From:

djbubbles

I thought it wouldn't be so bad, that it would be edible. Total mistake. I got sick. Like real sick.

At least Plagg had the decency to feel bad about it. Though he did make a crack or two about me needing to "toughen" up my stomach or something.

From:

modelcatizen

Always trust your nose with cheese.

Yeah, he's about that tough love. Or apathetic love. Sensitive usually takes a pretty bad day.

From:

djbubbles

Some cheeses are supposed to be stinky, but yeah you're right.

So I noticed.

From:

modelcatizen

To his credit.....

He's the most mature and sensible several thousand year old I know and I actually have a decent list at this point.

From:

djbubbles

You mean 10 and the other doctors?

[He only really knew 10 and even then, just barely.]

From:

modelcatizen

Yes. And Lady Me.

...I suppose I could count the Grim Reaper, in which case he is a bit better than Plagg, but I only talked to him a few times.

But yeah, all the Doctors are terrible at their feelings. And Lady Me and my father would basically kill each other because they're way too similar.

From:

djbubbles

Yikes. I haven't really spoken with her much, but she did seem a lot like your dad.

[Which makes him dislike her quite a bit.]

From:

modelcatizen

Yeah. I'm one of the few who can talk to her regularly without wanting to scream. She's a lot less frustrating than father. Or I'm just less emotionally invested. One of those.

From:

djbubbles

I wonder how you managed to get past some of Miss Ice Queen's defenses.

From:

modelcatizen

[He shrugged.] The Doctor and Rose want to help her, but she refuses to let them. I have a....'common interest' as her, I guess you could say. She sees me as someone can can, at best, go to for help, or someone to use at worst, and I can work in that range.

From there, try to subtle get her to chill out. It's a long process, but at least I'm making SOME progress.

From:

djbubbles

Maybe someday she'll melt completely.

From:

modelcatizen

Hopefully, but it'll take a while.

Old people are so stubborn.

[Pouts.]

From:

djbubbles

[He makes a lineface as well. You're talking to someone, who for a while, hated adults.] Most old people are, man.

From:

modelcatizen

And the older they are, the worst it seems to get...

[He sighs.] Makes me miss Plagg's cheese obsession.

From:

djbubbles

Pretty much.

Maybe he'll show up someday. Perhaps Ladybug's Kwami might show up too.

[It would be interesting to meet Ladybug's Kwami if he ever got the chance.]
