Impromptu poll: Which do you actually regret most? a) The things you've done b) The things you haven't done c) Literally everything because your unparalleled ability to fuck things up renders the choices you make in regards to your actions moot Relatedly, I hate inspirational quotes.

That must make for a strange living situation. Do you just - not tell him about anything that's happening in your life? I'm sure he'd try to have you committed if you did, nice guy or otherwise.

[vitis]

no, i don't.
but that's okay. we can talk about other stuff, it doesn't have to involve retrospec all the time. not sure if i'd want it to involve that all the time, either

[informantic]

Still, I hope you have people you *can* talk to about it.

[vitis]

just talking about whatever can't help everyone

[informantic]

True enough. What *does* help you?

[vitis]

standard stress relief stuff?

[informantic]

Well, I know I haven't always been the most enthusiastic company for stress relief, but

[Is he gonna do it...]

If there are any other methods you'd rather do with company, you know where to find me.

[vitis]

[ that's.. such a heigo way of saying... whatever he is saying, that john has to laugh a bit. ]

so you're good for any other methods of non standard stress relief that i'd rather do with company
got it

[informantic]

[And that's such a John way of giving no indication of whether or not he picked up on Heigo's true meaning that...

... well, he may never find out what Heigo's usually trying to say if an unrelated third party doesn't step in to translate.]

I was trying to be supportive, but it just sounds artificial and roundabout when you repeat it like that.

[vitis]

no
i do appreciate that, so thank you

[informantic]

My pleasure.

I can't think of any other pressing questions, so you're free from my interrogation... for now.

[vitis]

yep don't be shy
anyway, wanna hear a joke

[informantic]

Absolutely do

[vitis]

what happens when you step on grapes

[ wait for it.

john needs to let that question sink in, really get heigo thinking on what could be the possible answer to that one. ponder it. mull it over. and then, quickly-- ]




they wine

[informantic]

That's the worst joke I've ever heard

[God help him, though, he's laughing so hard that he can barely catch his breath.]

[vitis]

i get that a lot
did you smile at least a little

[informantic]

My mouth may have twitched.

[vitis]

i'd say i'd work on my taste in jokes but i probably won't
if i'm lucky maybe it'll grow on you

[informantic]

Just make sure you only ever share them in text format, not face to face, alright?

[vitis]

why
would you puke on me with distaste or something

[ charming, john... ]

[informantic]

My reaction to bad humour isn't quite that violent, don't worry.

It'll keep the mystery alive if you never tell me one in person. Do I really just smile at them? Do I groan aloud? Do I split my sides laughing? Anything is possible.

[vitis]

might keep the mystery alive, but consider: solving that mystery
time to find out next time

[informantic]

I'll be bracing myself for it until I see you again.
