tl;dr. In short: stop getting distracted and being lazy

[flipkicking]

Believe me, I don't like lecturing anymore than you like being lectured, but things are gonna get hectic in the next couple weeks and one of us needs to make sure you keep your eyes on the road.

As far as Cittàgazze's concerned, you need to start keeping better track of the plans I make. My timeline's really not detailed enough to just refer to on and off, and these posts are turning up bigger than what you're used to. You can't just remember everything off the top of your head, either. Organization never hurt anyone.

On that same note, you can't keep skirting the issue of my time away from the B.S.A.A.; being vague was fine at first, but it's been almost two months, believe it or not. You need to pick a deadline and stick with it, even if that means doing a little research in the process.

As for the Havens, we really need to talk -- you've "hand-waved" way too much detail in the last few weeks, even if I've mostly just been getting back on my feet. I might be busy, but I'm not a hermit. You need to make some decisions on my circumstances there, too.

Considering your love of Post-It Notes, you could start writing these things down and save us both some time. Either way, don't blow me off just to go watch The Matrix again. You have enough distractions as it is.

That'd be a lot of Post-It notes. Don't get me wrong, they're a lovely invention. Great to remind people of things.

[Like when to buy more alcohol, when they've accidentally killed their friends, leave them by murder scenes for funsies.]

But when you can wallpaper your kitchen, it might be a teeeeeensy bit much.

[When you put it that way, clearly Ethan's desire to get rid of you was entirely unjustified.]

I'd hope she wouldn't let that many things build up. She's got enough going on without looking like a serial killer on top of it.

[notjustinthemirror]

[He was looking out for him the entire time! Everything you've heard is just vile slander. They could have been such friends.]

Well that depends on ones point of view now doesn't it?

[flipkicking]

[Yeah. Okay. Just pretending that frustrating boss fight never happened.]

True enough. Most would probably agree that would look a little unstable.

[notjustinthemirror]

[He takes no responsibility for the Oro's actions. And furthermore had you just had a drink in the bar like he suggested you wouldn't have had to fight anyone anyway.]

Depends on who they invite back to their place to see it.

Isn't organization a sign of sociopathy anyway?

[flipkicking]

[...At least there was an Achievement to be had out of it, stfu. :T ]

Also true.

In many cases, it's part of the mindset, yes. Drastic cases, I add. For what it's worth, I'd just appreciate if she had any tangible organization at all. If it starts going down a darker path, I'll reap what I sow. [Clearly, she's not too concerned about that.]

[notjustinthemirror]

And you're the gal to show her how to be all nice and organized and not psychotic? Sounds like you've got a good plan going.

[He thinks he's got so much more value than just some gamer points. D: ]

[flipkicking]

I think she's got enough of a handle on sanity on her own, at least. If my lecturing gets her to go the extra mile, I'll consider it time well-spent.

[UP FOR DEBATE]

[notjustinthemirror]

If you say so. I've gotten mine to procrastinate something important for a whole day. Now that is time well spent.

[Could he offer you a drink to change your mind?]

[growstrangelydim]

Organization and getting back on your feet? Sounds like a cop in recovery, honestly.

[flipkicking]

[Typical eyebrow-up maneuver.] I can't imagine why.

But if you think organization comes with the title, you should see my partner's desk.

[speaking of

are you done going through her e-mails

and interrogating said partner by any chance]

[growstrangelydim]

[It should be patented and taught in military schools, that eyebrow.]

Yeah. Your partner. Charlie, right? Chuck? Chad?

[yes




no what


that didn't happen! jfc he's not neo he doesn't know computer shit!]

[flipkicking]

[The look stays. Surely your memory isn't that bad.]

Chris.

[You don't have to be Hacker Jesus to operate Gmail, k. A toddler can manage these days.]

Should I ask what you've been up to lately?

[growstrangelydim]

[It's not bad but u look mad so he'll play along ok ok]

Having all my threads dropped?

[YES JOHN BLAME SOMEONE ELSE PERFECT]

[flipkicking]

[FITTING, JOHN]

Dropped, or just delayed?

[/insert sympathetic look because OPTIMISM FOREVAR]

[growstrangelydim]

[IT'S ALL THE MUN'S FAULT only it actually is WHAT A TWIST]

...depends on how delayed they can be, I guess. Never thought of myself as rusty, but it's fitting.

[oh god oh no oh god oh no y so badass in every way???]

[flipkicking]

[BE A MAN AND SHOULDER SOME OF THE BLAME]

I'd say they can be delayed for as long as I'm willing to wait around. Lucky for you, I'm pretty patient. [The sympathy's still there, but add +25 teasing. Honestly, he should know she's good at the Waiting Game.]

As for rusty... [Shrug] We all go through that now and again. Nothing time won't fix.

[it's genetic]

[reluctant_tinman]

Post-it notes?

Wish mine was half as dedicated. Or organized.

[flipkicking]

The notes are there, I'm just hoping I can get her to use them for something other than reminding her of songs she needs to download.

It's... a step-by-step process. [One Jill has the patience for, at least.]

[reluctant_tinman]

That's good, I should try that. For songs, I mean.

Best of luck with that, hope it works.

[flipkicking]

Thanks. I'm hopeful, anyway.

Things going any smoother your way, mundane habits aside? [This is Resident Evil, who're we kidding. Things never go smoothly.]

[reluctant_tinman]

Not really. She can't even be bothered to make icons, using the fact I'll be aging two years by the end of the week as an excuse.

But I'm not being shoved in the back and ignored, so I'll take it.

[flipkicking]

At least she's not obsessing over icons; listening to mine fret over "which one hundred to use" got old pretty fast. I didn't know she had more than a hundred, period.

Being ignored's not always a bad thing, depending on where you'd end up as the alternative.

[reluctant_tinman]

Apparently I've got a hundred somewhere, but I'm too young in all of them. And here I thought I aged gracefully.

You know, I used to think that. Maybe I'll come round again as soon as I get my feet wet.

[flipkicking]

I'm sure it's just a detail issue. [You look fine for your age, Leon, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.] Mine insists on having two copies of every possible expression of mine -- one for each hair color. I still don't see why it's such a necessity, beyond being as detailed as possible.

[Sympathetic smile is sympathetic] I know the feeling. Any idea where you might end up?
