==> ZA: Investigate horrible crying.
You would if there was any CRYING to begin with. [/center] Odd. There were times when Cory would come home in tears. Alex knew that someone was making her cry, but never once could he actually get the truth out of her, as she would just shut him out. And at first, this time was no different. She had come home crying. Alex hated it when she did. It was honestly one of the most awful things that he could ever hear. So he wouldn't lie that there was a selfish part of him that was relieved when she teleported again. He couldn't stand the sound of her crying, it was just one of those things that was too painful to really listen to. Especially when he couldn't do a single thing about it.
This time was different though, she had come home rather happy this time. Something had managed to cheer her up. He was kind of curious as to what it was. He supposed it wouldn't hurt to go check for himself would it? So he simply slipped across the house, making his way to his sister's room, curious as to what had her back in such cheerful spirits.

==> ZA: Continue Investigation.
You wonder WHY she is now happy. WHAT could have occurred? [/center] Well there she was. However, she was asking how he was. He was correct in assuming that her mood had indeed been lifted, but he was curious as to just what caused it. It wasn't that he wasn't happy to see her in a better mood, he was indeed happy to see that she was doing better. He just wanted to know what put her in that. Probably so he could go congratulate whatever it was. Though it still didn't erase the thought of her crying from his mind. If it was the last thing he ever did, he would make sure that whoever was hurting her like this would end up in a world of pain.
Alex leaned against the doorway.
ALEX: I'm fine.
ALEX: What I'm curious about though.
ALEX: Is how you're doing.
ALEX: You seem to be feeling better.
ALEX: That's good.

==> Cory: Tell him.
You carry on the pesterchum conversation with one hand, not needing to look at the screen. You smile.
[/center] yes, i'm, uh, fine

==> ZA: Raise eyebrow.
You raise it INQUISITIVELY. [/center] She was texting, going on about how she was telling her girlfriend that she had a new boyfriend. So that was it. She had yet another lover. Well, that was fine, he supposed. He figured that it wouldn't be so bad. Was the guy she was talking about the person who had made her cry? Did she win them over at last? Well, Alex would still have to talk to the jackass about everything he had put Cory through. That wasn't fair to her. Even if she did get the guy, it stll didn't justify what he did.
Alex crossed his arms
ALEX: Is this guy the one who's been making you cry?
ALEX: Dd you finally get them?
ALEX: I'm still going to have to chew them out for making you cry.
ALEX: But anyway.
ALEX: Who is it?

==> Cory: Shatter his world.
Your phone beeps. You lift it up to see what it says, smile whistfully, fire off a response, then resume your conversation.
You sit down on your bed before you lay the revelation on him.
[/center] no, uh, that's, another girl
this is, uh, someone else
it's
um
uh
your friend, venn

==> ZA: FFFFFFF.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. [/center] Alex froze. He did nothing. He said nothing. He didn't blink nor move, nor respond or even breath. After what felt like an eternity for him, like the passing of all time, like star systems were born and subsequently died, he was finally able to start moving, start breathing, start living again. However, the reaction that would ensue was probably not one you'd expect. Though Cory would likely find it infinitely amusing.
ALEX: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

==> Cory: Freak.
Not exactly the best possible response, you'll admit. You scramble to do some damage control.

==> ZA: #())(#@&#@*&$#(@.
#*(((**(^%#)#(@)(@!@$#). [/center] He had no idea what to make of this. This was wrong in so many ways. He couldn't even think of a right way for this. There were so many things that made this creepy. Not to mention that Venn was catching his sister on the rebounding. Seriously, that one was bad. Did it never occur to him to wait a bit before making a goddamn move? Cory was attempting damage control, trying to calm him down.
It was failing.
It was failing so hard.
ALEX: You're twice his age!
ALEX: And this is an obvious rebound!
ALEX: God, you've been hurt for like only a day.
ALEX: What the fuck.
ALEX: What the actual fuck.
ALEX: What the actual flying fuck.
ALEX: I am killing him.
ALEX: Teleport me to that island right now for I am breaking his legs.

==> Cory: Calm him down.
He's spiraling. You need to do something to reassure him.
[/center] no,
i, uh, swear, it's nothing, like that
i've been, ah, interested in him, for a while, now
i, uh, made the first, move
besides, ah, i don't think, you're really, qualified to comment?

==> ZA: Retort.
You do so, WITTILY. While making DRAMATIC MOTIONS to convey your DISAPPROVAL [/center] ALEX: You're twice his age!
ALEX: And what is that supposed to mean?
ALEX: I'm not going for anyone twice the age as me.
ALEX: And I am most definitely not rebounding anyone!
ALEX: And it's VENN.
ALEX: Do you know how incredibly uncomfortable that is?
ALEX: "Oh hey, Alex, I got done having sex with your sister."
ALEX: "I hope you don't mind me cleaning up in your shower."

He needs to remember that he can't control everything. Least of all you.

You pause for effect.

You really shouldn't be. But you can't even activate the MIND OF STEEL in time for this. [/center] ALEX: GRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

COMBO. Your eye can only twitch in PURE HORROR. She is giving you FAR TOO MUCH INFORMATION. You swear that she is doing this ON PURPOSE just for the sake of fucking with you.
You are certain of this. [/center] ALEX: I.
ALEX: Dear God why are you telling me this?
ALEX: Do you seriously have to tell me that?
