[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 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...]

[floret]

Oh, thank you! lol

So, I'll message you again in about four hours, then? Or should it be sooner/later? (Or you'd rather I don't?)

[lalliho]

uhh I think it's sex hours

SIX

[floret]

Ok great! Thank you.

Lmk if you want to take a nap or something in the meantime, and I'll stop sending you a bunch of messages.

[lalliho]

why are you thanking me this tmw

a nap sounds nice

wait pizza

no I have to wait for pizza

[floret]

Because you answered my question, I think?
idk , it felt right at the time.

Also omg I had actually already forgotten about the pizza.
Maybe I'm not all that good at remembering things for people.

[lalliho]

you don't even know...

that's okay if I hurt and it's more than six hours then I'll take something that makes sense right

[floret]

Perfect sense!

But I definitely won't forget to remind you about that. Because I set an alarm in my phone.

[lalliho]

mm

I hope other Jamie is nice too

oh also I'm Lalli hi

[floret]

Hi, Lalli.

[ He wonders whether it might not be better for Lalli if the other Jamie is actually mean?... since then there's less chance that the guy Lalli likes would like Jamie better. Unless he's into mean people, at least. (And given the fact that the concept of other-Jamie bothers Lalli to the extent that Lalli now dislikes the name itself, this Jamie thought he might have more negative or resentful feelings toward him...) But hey, if Lalli's feeling magnanimous about it, there's no reason to drag him back down. (And Jamie--this Jamie!--certainly shouldn't do anything that might have a negative impact on other-Jamie, who is of course a complete stranger, may be perfectly nice, and certainly doesn't deserve to get shit from some random duplicate he's never heard of.)

(Although Jamie is not himself on any kind of consciousness-altering medication, it has in no way occurred to him that he just might know this mysterious strange Jamie very well indeed.)

Anyway!
What matters right now is that Lalli needs to stay awake at least until he eats his pizza! ]

What kind of pizza are you getting?
