[6/13]

Just a couple of things.

-I'm turning 25 on Monday and it seems like the kind of thing you should do something for. I was going to invite people to the pool until some things happened, but now I don't want to, so. I'm going to be at the Inkwell and will accept all birthday congratulations, gifts, and complaints about how grey water is super weird.

Anyone can come, it's not like I run the bar. Unless you're that guy that threatened me, you have to stay at least ten feet away from me at all times.

[Water being grey now is not actually why the pool party is being called off, but it makes an excellent excuse.]

-Does anyone have any advice about explaining your sudden changes in behavior to people who know you really well but don't know what's going on with Retrospec? I can't not talk to my parents.

On a scale of 1 to 10, probably a 6.5?

[stopbleeding]

bring it down to a 1.

[thesettingsun]

No. A small level of paranoia is healthy.

[stopbleeding]

1 is a small level.

[thesettingsun]

1 would be a small level if we didn't have things like SUDDENLY BEING SMALLER THAN ANTS and WAKING UP WITH PLAGUE ARMS to worry about. Now 1 is a stupid level.

[stopbleeding]

2.

[thesettingsun]

3.5 absolute minimum on a good day.

[stopbleeding]

then make it a good day anytime you're near me.
don't let me catch this again.

[thesettingsun]

You being around would make it automatically a bad day.

[stopbleeding]

then find a different bar.

[thesettingsun]

No. Absolutely not.

[stopbleeding]

then you're going to have to deal with me.

[thesettingsun]

Do I really have to. Can we just agree to avoid each other?

[stopbleeding]

not when it interferes with my job.

[thesettingsun]

As little contact as possible?
