You know, I'm not sure this is a good idea. You're nervous about writing this, and you're thinking about putting me in a game? Maybe you should just take a step back, and rethink it. Maybe rewatch the movies. Rewatch a second time, if you're really set on it. Take some time and figure out what you're doing.

But jumping into it headfirst probably isn't your best bet.

Uh, yeah, protip here: That doesn't generally work. Muns are pretty much dumbasses that way.

[stabilizing]

She's not a dumbass, she's just being...well. Impulsive isn't the right word, because she's been thinking about it for a while, but I think it's the closest word I can find right now.

[runsonbatteries]

That's true, your mun could do that.

Or--and this is just a wild suggestion, since we're ping ponging ideas here--she could be fun and just go with it.

[goingonfacebook]

Ooooh, she's freaked about it and doesn't think she's ready, but she's doing it anyway? Yeah, mine's been there. Not with me, but he has.

[ solemnly ]Honestly, the only cure is for her to either go for it or be neurotic about it for the rest of time.

[stabilizing]

We're not ping ponging anything. You're taking what I'm saying and...ping ponging off of that.

There's more to it than just going with it. She should feel confident in me before she does.

[stabilizing]

I think that even if she does go for it, she'll still be nervous about it. Maybe watching the movies again will help, but I'm not entirely sure.

[liverletdie]

Jumping in headfirst is generally a terrible idea, especially if it involves the City.

But if she's considering it, you're probably already in trouble.

[runsonbatteries]

[He lifts his eyebrows at her.] So you're saying you don't want to ping pong with me, anymore?

But that sounds more like her problem than yours.

[goingonfacebook]

Either it's gonna help or it'll do absolutely nothing. I say she watches it again just to be sure, and then just goes.

Buuuut I'm also not known for my strong decision-making skills, so, your mileage may vary on that one.

ohai

[stabilizing]

You're probably right about that. I was hoping I could try to talk some sense into her.

:3c hello there

[liverletdie]

Please. These types don't want to exactly talk sense, and bargaining doesn't exactly work either.

Eventually, you learn to go with it, and do what you can to control the situation from there.

[stabilizing]

What? I'm not even sure what you're talking about anymore.

It is, but she's the woman behind the curtain, so to speak, so it's still partially my problem.

[stabilizing]

That advice might actually be the best advice anyone could give her. There's no sense in not trying and seeing how things pan out.

[stabilizing]

Eventually being the keyword there. Then again, I work for you, or, well, a version of you, so that much should come naturally by now.

[runsonbatteries]

We're talking about the fact that I left, and now you suddenly don't want to ping pong with me. I thought we were having fun.

I disagree.

[stabilizing]

I suddenly don't want to ping pong with you? Ping pong could mean anything when it comes out of your mouth.

You always disagree. You live to disagree. It's what you do best.

[liverletdie]

Apparently, if this version of me is going to leave you so used to it. [ A beat. Tony pls, you are just as bad, even if you won't admit it. ]

Still, you never know, your chances might be better than mine were.

[goingonfacebook]

[ beat ]

Can you say the thing about the best advice after I start the recording app on my phone? My boss will never believe those words were actually uttered about something I said.

[stabilizing]

I guess we'll see, if she actually goes through with it. I'm kind of starting to get used to the idea a little.

[liverletdie]

Already? It took me at least a month, I'm impressed.

[stabilizing]

Well, spending a little over ten years working for a madman will do that to a person.

[liverletdie]

A madman? Oh come on, I think I should be insulted by proxy for that one! Even if it's not me, he can't be that bad.

[runsonbatteries]

[And he's going to keep talking about it. Without any clarification.] I definitely enjoyed it. The ping ponging.

Then I'm going to disagree. There is no other person more reliable and trustworthy than you, she should have more faith. You're going to be fine, hair-trigger app or not.

[stabilizing]

No, he's pretty much a madman.

[liverletdie]

Couldn't he just be classified as eccentric? Madman sounds so negative.
