[r8] talking head: gregor

[loveauthority]

[ Gregor is led to a quiet room within the resort with a pair of hammocks to suit the scene, and upon one of them is where the overseer sits. She beams, shuffling her cards in hand (she will not use these), and motions for Gregor to take a seat already!!!

This is the Talking Heads room, and there are cameras. Prepare to loosen those lips! ]

[ .........................................

you know a bug arm isn't even the weirdest thing she's seen actually, she's adopted by a bat now, it's fine. like. yeah, anna still stares at it until he sits down, but she's otherwise shifting into host mode a moment later. ]

Gregor-san! Are you feeling lucky?!

[verminous]

W-well, uh...

[he adjusts his clothes as he takes a seat, trying to sort of smooth out the front of his shirt. he is sooo put together please believe.]

I don't think I can be any unluckier than I've been already, so I suppose so?

[makeine]

Ex-actly! That's the attitude we wanna see around here! Once you've hit rock bottom, you can only go up!

[ she says from clear experience. anyways. ]

Okay! First question! "What do you think of TNT's engagement?"

[verminous]

Wait, about what?

[sorry, excuse him a second while he tries SO hard not to look like he's panicking. has he ever known shit about fuck. no it's fine fake it until you make it--]

I mean, right, right-! It, ah, sounds exciting...?

[makeine]

[ ..............

okay so he isn't a normie. disappointing. ]

It's the cumulation of a decade of false starts, broken promises and broken hearts, it's the proof in the pudding that no matter how long it takes love will chase you down for missing out on a meet and greet!!!!

[verminous]

Well, I guess I can see how that'd be a reassuring thought...

[especially after his horrendous luck. love will chase you down, huh.]

[makeine]

Right? I'm so happy that we both got our happy endings...

[ a sigh. ]

Anyway, speaking of-- what does love mean to you?

[verminous]

Jumping right into it, eh...

[give him a sec, he needs to think about this one.]

I, uh, haven't really thought about it in that sense. But I think I'd say it means wanting to make somebody's life better with you in it, I guess?

[at least that's what he feels like it all boils down to-- that desire to make them happier by loving them.]

[makeine]

Ooooh!!! I like that answer a lot, Gregor-san! I'm totes writing that down for a caption later.

[ when she has another selfie with will ♡ she'll steal it ♡ ]

Is that creepy arm [ sorry. she says it with no inflection at least ] the only reason you don't have a lovelife?

[verminous]

Don't mince words either, do you?

[JUST THROWING THAT RIGHT OUT THERE. DAMN. she's right that it's creepy, but wow...]

It's... a pretty big part of why I never did back home. But besides that, seems like I've just got a habit of being fond of people who don't feel the same way.

[makeine]

I don't believe in holding back.

[ she says, but she did hold back a bit in her own season... her own feelings anyway. ]

And I've totally been there myself... Did you ever confess to any of them, or did you just assume they weren't?

[verminous]

...no, I, uh. I definitely did, so I can say that with a decent amount of confidence here.

[he unfortunately has no plausible deniability here...]

[makeine]

Yikes. Sorry to hear that, dude.

[ always hard to get rejected... actually, anna's reaching over to pat his arm. whichever is closer. she doesn't mind the bug one. ]

I was a part of the dumped club too once... some of my best friends are dumpees, actually... but that's the kinda thing that brings people together, so take it easy! Everyone's had their heart completely and totally shattered here, just like you!
