I trust that I don't need to explain why this is a mistake. There are others more suited to this than me. You know that. Pick one of them. Any one of them.

I recognize foolishness when I see it, so I know you're going to ignore me.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

On the bright side, I'm glad you didn't use the "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" line.

[ineradicable]

By now, I think that goes without saying.

[ Plus he's not an actor in a cheesy '70s TV show. ...He hopes. With how many different realities there are, anything's possible. ]

[mutant_hexuality]

True, but it would be a nice added threat to the mun.

If they were ever going to listen to that sort of thing.

But then, my no-more-mun threat didn't work with mine.

[ineradicable]

If you couldn't dissuade yours, I doubt there's any hope for the rest of us.

[deadliestwoman]

I don't think calling your writer foolish is a good idea.

[ineradicable]

I'm not in any danger from it.

[deadliestwoman]

For your sake, I hope you're right.

[ineradicable]

It can't get any worse than everything else I've been through.

[ Famous last words. ]

What about you? Run into trouble yet?

[deadliestwoman]

Some, but it's nothing I can't handle.

You don't have to be so hard on them. Everyone makes mistakes, Bruce, but that doesn't mean it hurts to try.

[ineradicable]

We're proof of that, aren't we?

[ Proof that those who make mistakes still keep trying. Over and over again. ]

It's good to see you again.

[couldbeavoided]

Maybe we are. No matter how big our mistakes are we have to believe we can be bigger.

[ Not necessarily optimism. He hasn't managed to believe that yet. ]

You too. Did you have plans?

[ineradicable]

[ That's all right. Bruce doesn't do optimism either. ]

Whatever plans I had got interrupted when I got drafted into this. I'm not sure what will happen now.

[couldbeavoided]

I know how that feels. It isn't always anything serious, if that's something you'd be worried about. When sentiment holds sway over commitment... that's more trouble.

It doesn't really matter how much of a warning we give them. That's just the way they work, Bruce.

[ineradicable]

I keep overestimating the number of people who don't prefer learning the hard way. Thanks for the wake-up call.

[billyclub]

Not a problem. Maybe by some miracle, they'll learn their lesson early.

[ineradicable]

I don't think I can muster up that much optimism.

[billyclub]

You don't really need to. It's hard to expect much from mundanes who throw us at places on a whim. You haven't been thrown into any 'memes', have you?

[comes_great_madness]

Your mun might listen. I've heard some of them have short attention spans, so maybe something will distract them. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, right?

[ineradicable]

It's easier to prepare for the worst. Hoping for the best seems like a waste of time.

[comes_great_madness]

Oh hoping for the best in no way makes it happen but it's a morale thing, y'know? Keeps your spirits up.

[ineradicable]

That's typically someone else's job. Not mine.

[father_complex]

Is this the point that you say "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry"?

[ineradicable]

I think by now, everyone already knows that.
