Warnings: Lyney's dramatic ass

[So, what comes up on the network isn't actually any words, but a picture. A big, obnoxious picture, with some text superimposed upon it. The picture is then followed by several others, all depicting a similar theme, and similar motif:]



[Following the pictures is a morose-reading text from a certain magician.]

To think, after two whole years apart, my own sister refuses to acknowledge me! I simply wished to spend time with my dear sister! Oh, the humanity..! My dear sister, if you can see this, please reconsider your cruel and coldhearted decision! Your brother misses you so!

[Sure he may have been a little overbearing with her, checking in on her a bit more than was necessary, but he had missed her! Being blocked on the Shellphones was hardly fair, in Lyney's humble opinion! He clearly didn't do a single thing wrong!]

[...Okay no he may have been quite annoying and irritating to his introverted sister and pushed her to block him because of his overbearing-ness, but like hell is he admitting that.]

Comments

She is. I am looking right at her.

[He figures Jill could. Use that reassurance, even for a stranger.]

[tilfrosset]

[Honestly? It helps. She could also use some therapy.]

Oh, is she? That is good to know.

So it's more like she is ignoring him rather than something being wrong with the devices?

[And honestly, if this guy acts like this with his sister, Jill does not blame her.]

[empyrean_mirror]

It is exactly that. I wonder if twins are always like this?

[tilfrosset]

I can't say. I have no natural siblings myself and Clive and Joshua aren't twins in the least. Nor am I familiar with any twins at all.

If they are though, perhaps I should be grateful that fate decided I should be born alone.

[empyrean_mirror]

I'd begged my parents for a sibling, when I was younger. It never really had a chance to happen...I'm not sure if it would have been better if it had.

It's been two years for him, so I understand a little dramatics, but this is just silly.

[tilfrosset]

Perhaps if war has not broken out, my parents would have given me a sibling, but to be perfectly honest with you, I rather enjoyed having all their attention to myself.

[Up until her father just let a neighboring land take her as if she counted as spoils of war, but that's something to be dissected another day.]

But why have they been separated for so long?

[empyrean_mirror]

Lyney arrived here a couple months before I did. Lynette only arrived this last month.

As you can see, he's coped with the separation quite spectacularly.

[tilfrosset]

Some people drink to cope with loss, others bake.

[Or they do both, like her.]

I guess turning on the melodramatics is his method.

[empyrean_mirror]

I can't talk about anyone's drinking habits, I'm afraid.

But he is a stage performer, so I suppose it follows.

[tilfrosset]

I read a line somewhere where a man once said all the world's a stage.

It seems Lyney took this literally.

[empyrean_mirror]

Fontaine as a nation is just kind of like this.

[tilfrosset]

Fontaine must be...

[There's no way to politely say this:]

...exhausting.

[empyrean_mirror]

I'm afraid I'm not exactly an unbiased source on the matter.

[tilfrosset]

Now my curiosity is piqued. I must ask why you say so.

[empyrean_mirror]

...I only went there once, for my mother's second wedding.

[Ah.]

[tilfrosset]

Say no more. That rather explains it succinctly.
