[ Video / Locked from Hattie & Flonne ] (Mid-Evening post)

[ While Hattie is "safely" away for the evening with a certain Mr. Nightray, Ella is enjoying the night off! And as she has been relatively quiet, for reasons of her own, she was bringing to the network a question.

Of course she is curled up on her bed looking a bit worn out from being sick (not cold-sick, oh-god-what-are-you-making-me-eat sick). Kyra was curled up on the bed next to Ella, dozing like a good wolfdogpup. ]

We don't precisely have this kind of holiday back in Frell, or at least it isn't called "Valentine's Day". But I get the idea of it, for the most part. I'm more curious about people's interpretation of "love" though. I mean, there are a lot of different types - the one I'm referring to leans more to ... well, creepy, actually.

Say you have a girl who likes a guy - or the reverse. Maybe it's a guy who likes a girl. Either way, someone likes someone. Only it's not mutual. What would you consider of the person that forces their love on you - like breaking into your apartment to fix you food, climbing into your bed while you're asleep, stalking your apartment or home to watch you turn the lights on and off.

Basic creeper behavior, in my opinion. But some people think that if it's a "powerful love" then it's okay, even if - in one case, the guy doesn't want anything to do with girl "in love" with them. So what do you think? Is that kind of behavior validated because of love, or would you call them out on being creepy and unwanted?

[ A pause, and she grins, tiredly. ]

And before certain people jump to conclusions, no, it's not a hypothetical friend of a friend of a friend nonsense. It's related to a conversation I had with my stepsister and Flonne a few weeks ago.

Oh and Byakuya, I'm sorry I wasn't in today - I hope Hattie didn't make a mess of things.

[ She... hadn't seen his post from earlier. ]

[ This conversation is hitting a little too close to home but he trudges through it. ]

You seem like you're on the outside of this little conundrum, so I'd normally ask if this was even any of your beeswax. For the sake of argument I'll say this: I don't think stalkee is being completely clear about their wanting the stalker to go away.

Technically, it's not. It's up to you whether or not you want to answer, but seeing as you are - well.

The whole topic came up out of a conversation of a poorly written radio drama, and the so called protagonist is pretty wishy washy, so you're about right there.

Right, radio drama. That's worse than the friend of a friend excuse. Anyway you seemed to want an opinion so I gave it.

Maybe that's because it's not an excuse, it's actual fact. You don't listen to the radio do you? Or maybe just not that station. My stepsister is wild for it.

That you did! And I thank you very much for your opinion. [ She means it too! ]
