Catch All II

the text starter, as promised

[soulsteal]

there's something i've realized that is kind of making me scream internally but i don't know who else i can scream to

[cryptsleeper]

What is it?

[soulsteal]

i'm pretty sure

julius (belmont, 55) and yoko (belnades, 25)

are banging?

[cryptsleeper]

....I'm fairly sure asking the 600 year old opinions about things where you're citing ages is going to get you a skewed perspective.

[soulsteal]

lmao it's not like i judge the age gap in and of itself

actually i don't think yoko is even 25, but she says she is

but it just clicked for me and now i'm like...

it makes sense i just, have questions,

[cryptsleeper]

Is it the genetic component of it? Because I have been tracking that part...

[soulsteal]

i was interested in that too so i looked into it

but it's been... i don't know, a million generations since trevor and sypha hooked up

yoko's from a branch of the family off one of sypha's sisters

and it's been the same number of generations for her so

pretty much, they're unrelated at this point

[cryptsleeper]

Except by knowledge of who their ancestors were, which can make it seem a bit strange.

Also, some surnames seem to simply return to each other time and again.

[soulsteal]

history cycles etc

you almost wonder if it's genetic

idk it's not like they're really obnoxious. i just started to notice it all of a sudden

the way she'd touch his arm or he'd pull her closer

and at first i thought it was like a protective father-daughter thing but then i realized it, you know, wasn't

i mean i get it lol she's hot and he's... the beard is not my thing but he's still a handsome man

he'd do something and then she'd bitch about how selfish "men" are to me and i was like yoko i'm a man and then i realized she meant, you know, "MY man"

i'm happy for them i think but when i see them together it's a weird feeling

[cryptsleeper]

There are days he puts more care into the beard than others....

But the dynamic's different from past versions I've seen. Sypha and Trevor tended to mutually bully each other (and myself, for that matter.)

Hardly your point though, I know. Couples always complain, even when they're happy together.

What makes you feel weird about it?

[soulsteal]

i don't know.

i wish i did.

sometimes i think maybe i'm jealous, and then other times i just feel like i've seen it before, and i know how it ends.

[cryptsleeper]

Do you think it may be from having how many souls in your body that have lifetimes of experiences and are inclined to be cynical about human relationships?

[soulsteal]

think i should ask the church to perform an exorcism?

[ this is a joke ]

[cryptsleeper]

....could be funny to watch.

[soulsteal]

anyway i guess you have a point

i should just ignore it

nothing good comes from listening to that kind of voice

[cryptsleeper]

Let them figure out what they need from each other. No one else need interfere.

[soulsteal]

that's not really what i

[ ... ]

nvm

[cryptsleeper]

If you said that to me in person, I'd be leaning in for further details.

[soulsteal]

it's fine

we can talk about something else

you know, you kinda mentioned it and then i did the math and realized

trevor and sypha were your lovers, right

[cryptsleeper]

They were, yes.

I've not been subtle about it. If anything, it's funny every time each generation of Belmont realizes it.

[soulsteal]

is it weird being around the belmonts now?

[cryptsleeper]

The first two or three generations, yes. But I just became the perpetual uncle, and it has worked quite well over the centuries.

[soulsteal]

i see...

i'm glad, then. if there's a place where you belong.

[cryptsleeper]

It'll change in due course. Nothing lasts forever.

[soulsteal]

when it does, will you find somewhere else to go?
