[sharktrash]

Yes

[ WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY ]

[ except looking at it summed up like this, well, he kinda sees your point ]

Don't fucking tell a living soul about this

[jumpthegun]

Yeah, I'm not telling anyone, mate. I get enough people asking me if I fancy blokes, as is.

[One particular bloke, but never you mind.]

Is there literally no one closer that you trust to do this?

[sharktrash]

What's that gotta do with anything?

[ He knows the feeling. Except in his case, it's probably true, but let him have a few more years of denial. ]

[ ... ]

Well

[ How the fuck does he even begin to explain the whole mess with Flynn? ]

There's sort of
this guy

Except we never actually spoke
Just had several, like... fake memory meetings

Do I need to explain why I'm uncertain if I actually know him

[jumpthegun]

[You know what? Never mind. If Squalo doesn't recognize why it's... maybe not the most masculine thing, John's going to sweep it under the rug and pretend he doesn't have a fragile male ego about certain things. Thank you.]

Have you spoken to this guy since all those fake memories cleared up?

[sharktrash]

[ LISTEN MEN ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL LONG HAIR! Also Squalo's probably too confident in his masculinity, that or he doesn't give enough fucks in some regards. ]

Not really
He called to check on me after the first instance though

[ Now that's the kind of thing that makes him go "ugh". ]

I think that's what it was

[jumpthegun]

Did he ask if you were okay? That's usually an indication someone's checking on you.

[sharktrash]

I believe the exact question was whether I was alive

[ fake new friend had noticed his obituary, apparently. he successfully deflected the conversation from what actually happened to him though. ]

[jumpthegun]

That would indicate some level of caring, yeah. Maybe call him back and talk to him sometime? Might be you'll find you end up mates in this timeline, too.

[sharktrash]

Fine

That aside

Are you in or what

[jumpthegun]

Yeah, all right.

[This is stupid and he's going to regret it.]

Try to keep your hair as clean as you can in the interim.

[sharktrash]

[ so many regrets. ]

Don't need to tell me that

I'll let you know when I'm in the area
