For all that's true, for all you do

[ Come 6 pm, she has prepared some coffee and tea so people can have something to drink while watching the shenanigans that will happen, as well as hot sauce as penalty for refusing a dare. So come here and have fun, y'all. ]

What do you think?!

[ She totally is. ]

[blazeit]

That usually, people stop believing in cooties before graduating grad school.

[crimsonchin]

There are some things biology just can't prove, you know.

*grade school...... of all the misspellings to be struck with

[blazeit]

So you're telling me... with a straight face... you really, truly, actually believe in invisible gendered germs.

[ He's not even moved into judging yet. He still thinks he's being messed with. ]

[crimsonchin]

There are weirder things out there.

[blazeit]

... Okay, you're right about that. But still, aren't you like. Twenty-eight or something?

[crimsonchin]

Do I look 28 to you?

[blazeit]

Does she [ he points at Youko ] look 600 to you?

[crimsonchin]

It's rude to ask a lady her goddamn age, anyway. ...But I'm fourteen.

[blazeit]

I'm not the guy who posted all this publicly, you know. [ There's a pause. And then he has a revelation. ] ... So that means you and the angel girl are the same age and that's... really fucking weird to think about.

[crimsonchin]

Funny what a difference in life experiences can do to someone, yeah?

[blazeit]

Well, she probably doesn't believe in cooties, so there's that.

[crimsonchin]

That's probably just because she doesn't remember being told about how dangerous they are.

[blazeit]

More likely because she was never told how dangerous they are. Because they don't exist.

[crimsonchin]

You just have cootie privilege. You're a boy, so you can't get them.

[blazeit]

That's not even how cooties work, it's supposed to go both fucking ways, and — wait a second, what the fuck am I even saying, cooties aren't a real thing.

[crimsonchin]

There's no fucking way it goes both ways! Guys give it to girls, that's the cootie M.O.!

[blazeit]

How the hell is a fake germ supposed to tell the difference between guys and girls?!

[crimsonchin]

Maybe it's benign in people with XY chromosomes and malignant in people with XX, you don't know!

[blazeit]

Okay, then answer this. If cooties are real then how come you never hear about anybody doing cooties research, huh?!

[crimsonchin]

It's probably done in secret, just like how the division of the government I work for is a secret division.

[blazeit]

Secret... cooties research. I guess that kinda makes sense, seeing as both of those things don't... exist.

[crimsonchin]

I assure you, research and secrets are both very real.

[blazeit]

But not on something that doesn't exist!!

[crimsonchin]

You really should keep your eyes open to more possibilities.
