meme: five things to five people

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

SO. We haven't done this one since -- hold on, guys -- AUGUST OF 2012.

And I think we're a smidge overdue.

Five Things to Five People

Make a list of five things your character would like to say to five different people and don't include their names. The messages don' t have to be secrets. Try to keep it to those on the island (or those off island like our esteemed alums and expatriates!), but if you need to pad your list, or it's really important, non-islanders (canonical characters that might not be IG) count too!

Yes, you can do more than five, and by all means, please reply to one another/guess at each other's responses!

1. Thank you for everything you've done to help me, here. Seriously. Without you around, I'd probably have tetanus, among other things.

2. Helping you feels like one of the better things I've done since I got out of my tower -- I've never had the opportunity to teach someone any kind of a skill before. It's kind of amazing how good that feels.

3. I really do think you're one of the most beautiful people I've met here -- especially when you're yourself.

4. If I'd ever had a sibling, I'd want them to be like you. You're protective and sweet, but not looking to inhibit anything I'm doing, either. It's a wonderful feeling.

5. I think I want to be you when I grow up...even though I think I'm actually a little older than you.

6. I don't know if I can believe anything you ever told me, now that I know what it's really like, here.

1. As is almost universally true: the real thing is so much better than every fictitious imagining of it. And I'm so glad you're my friend, even if you care distressingly little about the quality of anyone's clothing or the preservation thereof.

2. It's been forever since I've had a lady friend who wasn't a ladyfriend, if you know what I mean. You've got a wonderfully practical head on your shoulders, and it's nice to know I've got someone around I can depend upon.

3. I really don't know whether I hate you or love you, sometimes. But I think it's, "both, always." They can both exist at the same time. I'm just that complex.

4. I am vaguely unsettled by you, at times. Not enough to say anything, but enough to keep my eyes open when you're near.

5. You really need to lighten up, luv. Seriously. You're too young to start developing frown lines.

6. I know it was you who put the question box/slip of paper smut in there. Thanks for making teaching a bit more interesting for me every week, darling.

1. You and I more are like than we probably care to admit. And you're starting to rub off on me the more time I spend with you. And it's a good thing.
2. I just like hanging around you to see your reaction to everything. It's all new to you and your curiosity never holds you back.
3. I never thought I'd run into someone who has more porn than Jeremy does. It's impressive in a creepy kind of way.
4. Seeing where you came from scared the living crap out of me for obvious reasons. Nobody should have live through that. And I wonder if I can ever make you look beyond what you've experienced.
5. I admire your desire and your sense of adventure, but you're going to get hurt one of these days. You need to be more careful.
6. If it's in the fridge and has fucking label on it, don't fucking eat it. Seriously.

1. When I think about how much I care for you, I realize it's dangerous and reckless for both of us. That may just make it more fun. (I'm not going to stop.)

2. I'm proud to be your friend. And someday you need to introduce me to Tumblr; I have a feeling I'd like it there.

3. Being around you usually cheers me up, even though I always get confused when you often go from seeming like anyone I'd meet at home to talking like you're from -- well, from another world.

4. I don't understand how you do a tenth of what you do if it isn't magic, but I admire the skill and sincerity you do it with.

5. You really do feel like my sister, and like I've known you a hundred years. It's a happy accident and I wouldn't have it any other way.

BARRY!!!!!!!! DID YOU KNOW WE GET TO DRESS UP IN COSTUMES TOMORROW AND WE GET CANDY????

Learning about new stuff is so fun.

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

Yes. This would be a very good example.

And we may have to put limits on how much candy you eat in one night.

Also don't eat anything from the librarian or Navaan. Just saying.

1. I'd bang you.

2. I'd bang you.

3. I'd bang you.

4. I'd bang you, except for the fire thing.

5. I'd bang you AGAIN.

[furnaceface]

Look, I can't help it!

[throughaphase]

1. It's helped a ton to know I could go to you when I just need to talk, and I really should probably tell you what I'm up to these days.

2. Knowing you reminds me a lot of how I used to be with some of my best friends when I was younger.

3. I'm glad every day that I met you. In related news I feel like we're getting sappier and I'm not sure that's normal after this long but I'm good with it anyway.

4. Not to sound too much like a mom but call and write more.

5. It's a good thing I decided to taunt you over fall/winter sports because I can't win this when it comes to baseball.

[tigerundercover]

1. You were the first person to ever not be afraid of me, but you weren't the one who told me I could be accepted just for being who I actually am, and I can't help but resent that.
2. I am so incredibly proud of you. I always have been, but seeing where and what you came from only makes you more impressive.
3. Hair dress. I'm telling you. It'll be amazing.
4. Thanks to you, I now know that not only is there more than one place out there that I could fit in, but there's actually one where I might even be considered boring.
5. You're really cute when you blush. I'm almost sad you're already taken.
6. So you should ask me out already. I think we'd have fun.
7. You might actually be my worst teacher ever. And that includes the guy who did a whole class on how to kill shapeshifters.

*shrugs*

All right. Meet me in the alley.

[flickofthewrist]

1. I love you to death but you are so frustrating. Guess that comes with loving you, though.
2. If I wasn't attached, I'd go for you.
3. You've been a really good friend to me and really tolerant of my moods.
4. You're adorable and shouldn't be so nervous.
5. Despite what you've been through, you're gonna be okay in the future. I know it.

[doesdoctorstuff.livejournal.com]

Can it be the alley behind the bar? I've got important drinking to do, too.

[not-called-icky.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely happy with the ease with how you make me blush, which doesn't mean I don't appreciate your company.

[halfbad.livejournal.com]

1. I care about you. A lot. I just hope you continue to be patient with me.
2. You're a really good guy and I thank you for introducing me to so many new things around here.
3. Thanks for offering me your help.
4. You're interesting to talk with and I like listening to you and learning from you.
5. I'm sorry.

[tigerundercover]

And I haven't even brought up the fact that I'm nearly always technically naked, yet!

[pasunereveuse.livejournal.com]

1. I was ready to kill for you. If no one had stopped me, I would have, and I was willing to live with that. Just so you know.

2. Magic, science -- who cares which one it is? The point is that we can both make incredible things happen through our sheer force of will and a little application.

3. I try not to blame myself for you. Most of the time I'm unsuccessful, but I do try.

4. I don't think I like you much. Not just because he doesn't, but because of your disrespectful and odd treatment of me.

5. I actually believe that I'm loved, and worthy of it, when I'm with you. It's incredible.

6. Fear is addictive, you know. Try to resist it. I still don't think you have any reason to be afraid of yourself.

7. I hate you. I will always hate you. And you will probably never care.

[pasunereveuse.livejournal.com]

Can I be there when you tell him? Perhaps with popcorn?

[not-called-icky.livejournal.com]

Please don't! It would be too much for me.

[not-called-icky.livejournal.com]

I agree, it is incredible. I feel the same.

[not-called-icky.livejournal.com]

Celia! That would if possible make it even worse!

[pasunereveuse.livejournal.com]

The word you're looking for is hilarious, sweetheart.

[tigerundercover]

Definitely with popcorn. And a cold compress to revive him when all the blood rushes to his cheeks and he faints.

[locointhecoco]

1. You're my very bestest non-pony teaching-buddy friend ever! I am impressed you put up with me.
2. I am so sorry I kind of accidentally broke into your library that one time and made a bunch of clones of myself to run amock around town and cause havok. I hope we can be friends anyway.
3. You're pretty good at throwing parties! Do you know where I can find a copy of that card game to bring back with me to Equestria?
4. I hope you and Rocket are still having tons of fun even though you don't have arts and crafts classes to play around in!
5. You're the bestest teaching buddy I ever buddied!*

* This note might apply to multiple people

[tigerundercover]

I'm a little worried your head might actually explode if I did.
