[ she can't even bring herself to use voice for this - just sending this message out in general is already embarassing enough, but she can't think of it by herself, so.. have some written text, Luceti. ]

So, let's say there's a person who did a lot for you, and even though you still can't really take it in you feel like you should at the very least try to do something back for them in return. Since it's only natural, and maybe you want to show you care as well or whatever. Something like that.

But all the things they did are so big combined that you can't even start to think of something that would be big enough or of equal value to give in return. So.. what should you even do in a situation like that?

... Purely hypothetical, I mean.

......

This is stupid.

HACK IT AND DIE MISTER MAEBARA [Action]

[ oh god why right now, is she being found out..

but no, okay, she'll remove herself from her bed - making sure to close the journal so if it's Keiichi he won't saunter in and see it - just to walk over to the door and open it. ]

... just ask him out on a date already.

[Come on. Everyone knows hypothetical is code for 'THERE IS A BOY I LIKE'.]

[repudiate]

It's not like that. [ because it's obviously not, okay? geez, Sokka, stop trying to see through obvious things!! ]

I just want to repay him for what he did for me, that's all.

[...Kinda suspicious, seeing as how he had just seen Keiichi's post. Hrmm. Ohohoho~ okayno. Regardless, Atsuro's kinda torn between teasing Ange right now and not but... DOES ANGE EVEN HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR? Maybe he should just. Give it a shot and find out. Yeah.

...god she kind of scares him. HERE GOES.] Oh? This person doesn't happen to be a guy, does it?

And why exactly are you asking this question? [ if the icyness of words could be literal, the page would be frozen solid. ]

[repudiate]

[ wow, who's this fancy font douchebag ]

There's no way something like that could be enough, right? Just saying 'thank you' is something anymore could do, and it barely requires any effort at all.

[Hypothetical, eh? Very well, she'll play along.]

Hypothetically speaking, it sounds as though the other person cares for you a great deal. I'm sure they'd be pleased if they were given the same hand of friendship.

Perhaps you could start with something small, a token of gratitude if you will. Relationships are not like housing debts, after all.

[written]

[repudiate]

[ thank you, Ange is already embarassed enough as-is.. ]

Yes, I know. This hypothetical person cares a lot for me, they've already admitted that much. [ this is still obviously completely hypothetical. ]

The problem is.. well, of course I would care a lot for them in return, I'd just not be sure how to show it, I guess.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Sometimes an honest, genuine "thank you" does plenty more than a gift.

[written]

[repudiate]

I already told them that much.

... Hypothetically, yes. [ wow, Ange, so subtle. ]

I just don't feel like it would be enough. Like it wouldn't be enough to show that I care in return too.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Don't think too much on it. Just do any gesture you can to show how it much it means.

Some people are the kind of selfless and giving where you could spend your whole life trying to even the score, and you never will. Sometimes, just being close and doing your best is enough.

And if this is about Christmas presents... what do they like?

[ written ]

[repudiate]

Yeah, I get the feeling he's exactly that type of person, but I would still feel horrible for not at least trying to match his kindness. What if he thinks I don't care at all in return? [ that's what you get for being tsundere, Ange. ]

And it wasn't necessarily about Christmas presents, although I haven't thought up that part yet either. I don't know what they like though, they seem to like a lot of things.

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Purely hypothetical, you say?

[ written ]

[repudiate]

Exactly, purely hypothetical. Just see it as some social experiment of sorts.

[ totally nothing non-hypothetical about this, okay. :T ]

[V oice]

[curiousgenius.livejournal.com]

How about reverse thinking? If, hypothetically, it was you the one who did all those things for him, what would you be expecting in return?

[ written ] NOPE CHANGED MY MIND

[repudiate]

[ at that she seems to think for a few moments, but then just lets out a big sigh to herself before writing. ]

That's just making it more complicated. But I guess I wouldn't expect anything at all in return. I'd just hope that if I did it because I care so much for them, that they're happy with it and maybe that they care that much for me in return too.

I have no clue what his favorite dish is though, Goku. Or are you saying I'd have to take a guess?

I'm with Sokka-kun.

Don't tell me you believe something as ridiculous as that too.

[Rogue sees who this is and throws up an additional courtesy filter. For both their sakes.]

Purely hypothetically?

[ Private ]

[repudiate]

That's right, purely hypothetically.

[ Yes, she's even repeating that under the filter. So much tsundere here. ]

Sort of a 'what if' situation, I guess.

[voice]

[shred-the-sky.livejournal.com]

Have you thought, perhaps, that this person did such things because doing them was a reward in its own right?

[written]

[repudiate]

But.. putting so much effort into something just for the sake of doing it doesn't make any sense, right? There must have been some sort of purpose behind it.

[voice]

[kindofamouthful.livejournal.com]

Wow, they sound really nice for a hypothetical person...

[It's okay, she's totally tsun-blind.]

If they did a bunch of things that add up and there's nothing big enough... I guess you should do a bunch of little things. Then they can add up, too!

[written]

[repudiate]

[ good to finally have a tsun-blind person to speak to.. ]

Yeah, they're a really nice hypothetical person. You don't have many of those around anymore, but this one's a special case. [ she's saying it with a deadpan tone, but it's probably some sort of joke. ]

But.. what sort of little things should that be, then?

[voice]

[godbent]

Jump them and fiercely make out.

[Said after watching the beginnings of that Minato thread and the Sokka thread as a whole. Sarcastic]

[written]

[repudiate]

Yeah, that's probably the best advice I received so far.

[ she's being sarcastic too. Haruhi why.. ]

Except for the part where it's not like that.
