[Great out of all the possible weather it just happens to be Raven's least favourite. Snow, not just snow, but a blizzard. As he peers out the window he can't see anything but white, the distant views are covered in a blanket of blizzard induced fog.  Though the window he's looking out of isn't his own, he's still camping in house #12 following recent events. Usually he'd just sleep the entire days through until the snow storm passed but this couch isn't all that comfy. So what to do when bored? That's right, pester people over the journals.]

Hey, anyone else who's caught in this nasty blizzard up for a game of tic tac toe or even some hangman? It's a way ta pass the time! There's only so much pure white ya can watch before gettin' bored. This old man could do with some company.

But you're the one who doesn't want to get involved, right? I'm trying to understand it from that perspective.

[written]

[crisisrain]

Sometimes there's stuff you just gotta get involved in and sometimes you want to get involved. Yuri is a good buddy of mine, if something happens to him I'll be there to help.

[latkje]

Then what you're talking about isn't luck at all. First you say, "it's not my job to get involved, I just like watching tragedy from afar," and then you say, "no, it's this Yuri person, bad things happen to him, but I choose to involve myself in them, because it's my choice." I'm not sure those statements are relevant to each other, much less the phenomenon of bad luck. One might think you're just trying to be hard to pin down!

[crisisrain]

Why would I want to watch any kind of tragedy at all?

They're not really relevant to each other either, there's stuff I don't mind getting involved in if it concerns my friends.

[latkje]

Ask the playwrights.

It's a more sensible sort of chivalry, that.

[written]

[crisisrain]

I think you're trying to overcomplicate what I'm saying. I just do whatever I feel like doing.

[written]

[latkje]

You're probably right. But feelings are the most complicated things of all.

Besides, you were going to try to make me feel depressed on account of my wife not being here.

[written]

[crisisrain]

Isn't your wife just asleep? I was never any good at making people depressed, that's not fun. Now making you laugh, that'd be a challenge.

[written]

[latkje]

No, no, this was before. Before I told you she was here. You said you wanted to make me realize how much I did miss her.

And really, I laugh easily but am seldom depressed.

[written]

[crisisrain]

Wow that must've been some time ago then. I guess I'll have to talk to her myself, dig up some info then use it against you in order to make you depressed.

[written]

[latkje]

She'd probably help you.

[written]

[crisisrain]

In more ways than one?

[written]

[latkje]

If she flirts with you, it probably means she's not interested.

[written]

[crisisrain]

Doesn't matter to me, it'd be nice to get some attention. Even if it is false.

[written]

[latkje]

That desperate, huh? She could be ugly, you know.

[written]

[crisisrain]

I somehow think you'd have better than that.

[written]

[latkje]

Because it would take a lot to pin me down?

[written]

[crisisrain]

I was going to say something about your intellect but, that works I guess.

[written]

[latkje]

My intellect?

[written]

[crisisrain]

Nevermind.

[written]

[latkje]

I'm still trying to decide if marrying her was the smartest thing I've done, or the stupidest.

That's why I'm curious.

[written]

[crisisrain]

Do you love her?

[written]

[latkje]

Of course. But that isn't always enough.

[written]

[crisisrain]

There's your answer then. If you love then, then marrying her was the right thing to do. It might not feel like enough, but it probably is. Love is meant to be complicated you know.

[written]

[latkje]

Hah, you really have no idea.
