Entry Seven: Protractile

5.5.04
Yeah, I could see extending the last chapter into a story myself. I was actually thinking about it. …Then I lost the ishness. ^_^;; Darn that ishness. Ah, well.
Darn, but this word opens up so many R-rated possibilities. TT__TT Why'd it have to come up? Why?!
Anyway, I'm sick. Not feeling well. Urgh. Must … write! I shall struggle onward. Since I lack inspiration, I'm going to try dialogue-only…

"Check this out."
"Huh? I'm kind of busy, you know."
"It's interesting, I swear."
"Interesting enough to make me stop studying? That is what I'm here to do…"
"It'll only take a moment."
"Then how interesting can it be?"
"Very, I assure you."
"The way you say that scares me. I'm not looking."
"What? Whaddaya mean, 'the way I say that'?"
"You sound like a dirty old man."
"How could I sound like Yugi's grandpa?"
"Hey! Don't insult my grandpa!"
"We're not insulting your grandpa…"
"It's true, Yuug."
"I take offense."
"Anyway, Honda, you have to look at this!"
"No, I don't."
"Come onnnn, don't be a spoilsport."
"If it'll make him shut up, do it!"
"Easy for you to say, Anzu. You haven't known him as long as I have."
"It's not bad or anything…"
"Sure. Right. Of course I believe you when you say that…"
"I thought we were here to study, you two."
"I am! Jou's the one trying to distract me!"
"It'll only take a moment, I told you! Look, Honda!"
"Does it involve anything that you would never let Yugi watch on television?"
"Are you kidding? I lend him that sort of video all the-"
"Hey! Anzu's here too! Don't say that…!"
"It's true-"
"Yugi, you do what?"
"That's it. I'm not looking."
"Mean! Well, then, I'm just going to shut up and study, and you'll never see my cool thing!"
"Thank you."
"'Cool thing'? That sounds kind of like…"
"Hey, quit eyeing my pants!"
"You mean that's not what you were talking about, Jou?"
"Anzu, tell Yugi to quit staring at my pants."
"Yugi, quit staring at Jou's pants."
"I wasn't staring at Jou's pants!"
"Are you sure? It looked like you were staring at Jou's pants."
"Who's the perv now?"
"You are, Jou."
"Hey!"
"Sure, why not? Let's all just stop studying and stare at Jou's pants."
"You guys are insane."
"Tell me about it."
"All right. First of all, you-"
"Er, I didn't mean it."
"But how do you expect us to take you seriously when you say 'cool thing'?"
"It's not like that! I just wanted to show you this trick I can do-"
"A trick with your 'cool thing'? Sounds like it to me!"
"Hey! Quit laughing! …Et tu,
Yuug?"
"You don't even know
where that comes from."
"Yeah, I do!"
"Tell."
"Julius Caesar. Take that."
"Hey, where'd you pick that up? Did Kaiba throw you a bone?"
"What the hell's that supposed to mean? I actually read the play, all right?"
"Sure, whatever."
"I'll bet he's seen this 'cool thing' of yours dozens of-"
"What?! You're insane!"
"You forget, Jou, I've known you since middle school."
"Hondaaa! I'm freakin' straight!"
"Sure."
"Anyway, aren't we here to study, guys?"
"Yugi's right. We should be studying. The exams are coming up…"
"I, personally, am curious about this trick."
"Honda, I'm shocked!"
"Forget it. I'm not showing it to you now."
"Awww, how cute! Jou's sulking."
"Am not!"
"Yes, you are."
"No I'm not!"
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"You two are such kids."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Uh, Anzu, you're doing it too."
"Come on, Jou, show us!"
"Why should I? You'll only make fun of me."
"You have to prove to us that you didn't mean … that."
"You're staring at my pants again. Quit it."
"Show!"
"Hell, no."
"You wanted to before. You might as well now."
"Yeah, we're curious! You have an audience, Jou!"
"Go Jou! Go Jou!"
"…Fine."
"…"
"Sick!"
"How the hell does it do that?!"
"I don't know, it's … natural, I guess."
"Like a defect?"
"I think it's kind of cool…"
"Yeah, you're right! You could do that in front of a circus."
"How does it go back like that? It can't be normal."
"My mom asked the doctor to look at it. He said it's perfectly healthy. Lots of other people can do it."
"Really? Ew."
"I've never seen another person able to do that, actually."
"You neither?"
"Aw, I can't."
"I would've been surprised if you could."
"We'll have to give you a nickname now, Jou."
"Like?"
"Jou, the amazing Cool Thing Man! See his Cool Thing while it lasts!"
"…Uh, no."
"Sounds like mature viewing to me."
"Heh heh."
"Come on, guys! Quit making fun. I showed you."
"Yes, and it was very … interesting."
"Disgusting, though."
"Can you imagine, though? 'Will bend thumb for cash'."
"Ha! That would be great!"
