[recollecters]

Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

I broke my hand a little ago

in general no but okay this is private so if you go talking about it I will tear you apart okay so... I like the guy that lives with the person with your nsme and I feel like

what if everyone I like likes other people more I'm fine not being the favorite for eceryone but what if I want to live with so,eome someday and they don't see how much tha matters

delete this conversation

[floret]

Um
I am reading and thinking about what you said and I would like to respond but first I think I should ask
Are you sure this is private?

[lalliho]

yes this is judt between you and me

[He means more in theory than security-wise... He’s a little too out of it to remember he can do that.]

[floret]

ok!

When you say what if they don't see "how much that matters," do you mean how much living together matters, or how much being their favorite matters?

[lalliho]

[uhhh]

yes

being favoriyte is reakky good but I’m used to not being favorite but I don’t ever want to live with people so what if I do that’s important rifgt

[floret]

Of course it is!
And it makes sense that you'd want them to understand how much it means that you do want to live with them.

On the other hand, if the person you like and the other Jamie Doh have already moved in together, it sounds like things are getting pretty serious there, too...
They aren't two-timing you, are they?

[lalliho]

I don’t know other Jamie’s name

like last name

and I’m not daying the person I like he doesn’t want to date me he just likes me but I don’t know how much he likes other Jamie

even if he never decides he likes me like that I still want it to be okay that he couls live with me if he wanted and I want him to want to I think because I like being around him

[floret]

I see...

So you're hoping that he'll start liking Jamie less so that eventually you'll be his new favorite and he'll leave them for you?

[lalliho]

he doesn't need to like him less to like me more

I don't think

and idk I haven't thought about it a lot I just want him to be happy and to matter

if I can be selfish ans so that that's nice

[floret]

I just don't know...
I mean, they're already living together. If he starts liking you more, there's no way he and Jamie aren't going to break up, right? I'm not saying there's necessarily anything wrong with it if that's how things do turn out, but we should probably try to be realistic about what to expect.

Do you feel like, right now, he isn't happy, and you don't matter?

[lalliho]

he's not dating Jamie he doesn't want to date right now

no I just want more good feelings and I don't know if he's happy but I don't think he's unhappy? about most thinfds

[floret]

Oh!

I misunderstood. Sorry.

If they're just roommates, how do you know he doesn't like you more already? Maybe he honestly doesn't care about Jamie one way or the other.

[lalliho]

yeah maybe

I don't know if that's enough to make him say yes to moving in though I mean what if he thinks it's too weird because I like him even if hanging out is fine

[floret]

It's hard to say. But that has more to do with him than with Jamie, right? Do you think it'd be easier to ask him to move in if Jamie didn't exist?

[lalliho]

don't kill your double

[floret]

You're the one who shouldn't kill my double!

[lalliho]

I'm not killing anyone!

[floret]

Ok good.

How does your hand feel, by the way? Are the pain meds working well?

[lalliho]

yeah I just feel fuzzy

[floret]

I'm glad to hear it! If you can, pay attention to when you start to notice your pain coming back so that you can stay ahead of it as much as possible. Do you have anyone keeping track for you of when it's time for your next dose?

[lalliho]

oh

should I

[floret]

It's not an absolute requirement or anything, but it's good if you do... that way you can't accidentally overdose, or go so long between doses that you end up in a lot of pain. And the last things you should have to worry about while you're trying to recover are making yourself food and remembering how many hours it's been since you took medicine, right? Though as long as you're following your doctor's instructions, I'm sure you're fine!

[lalliho]

oh

I moatly forget that stuff but it's fine

I don't cook anyway and I'm ferring pizza

[floret]

Oh, that's a good idea. The pizza.

Would you like me to text you when it's time for your next dose, or would you rather just set a timer for yourself? (Of course, if the pain's not too bad, it's not like you HAVE to take all the medicine.)

[lalliho]

mm

you're nice

[that...that doesn't answer him, Lalli...]
