welp homeless (and looking)

[unionjackass]

Let's have a chat, you and I.

You've essentially quit. There's no other wording for it. Can't say I blame you at all but I find myself wanting to ask you one simple question: Is that it?!

[he rubs the bridge of his nose frustratedly] You're not awarded anything for--for throwing in the towel, so to speak; except perhaps the lack of frequent headaches.

Is that what you want?

A lack of headaches for your effort? Yes it's a start, I'll say that much. But that's all it is; a beginning that's useless unless you properly utilize the chance to keep on. Find other opportunities, you silly girl. For your lack of headaches mine have increased, and for your sake I should hope that changes-- and soon.

Keep on schedule, refuse to entertain ideas of abandoning a tricky situation, or stop wasting my time.

Not knowing the situation, it's sounding like sacrifices will be made either way.

[unionjackass]

Aren't they always? What's sacrificed sometimes depends on one's actions and how the situation is approached. [a small huff]

[edle_gestalt]

Slumps happen. They're unsettling, but I would say go with the flow. If nothing's happening, it also means nothing bad is happening. Ride it out; it likely won't last forever. You're still rambling, after all.

[unionjackass]

Oh shut it. [--sldkjfkls he--he didn't mean-- ah it was just blurted out whoops...]

I--er, what I mean to say is--[clears his throat in his hand]-- Things are happening; unpleasant things. Inaction is the worst decision one can make.

--And I am not rambling!

[asecondsun]

[Epsilon narrows his eyes a little.]

So it seems.

What you're really saying, then, is that you don't want to be the one making the sacrifices?

[unionjackass]

Yes, actually! I've made plenty of sacrifices in my time. However, what I want and what I expect are two completely different subjects altogether.

The cost of this little slump ending is what's left of my sanity; entering another "game" only to be run through the paces.

[galahads]

Perhaps she merely wishes to be one towel less.

[unionjackass]

[oh we have a live one! two can play at this]

There's no excuse for wasting a good towel.

[galahads]

I can think of many reasons to waste a towel, good or otherwise.

[unionjackass]

[lksdjfl he coughs] --That's what laundering one's linens is for!

[there's an unspoken "unless one's disposing of a body" floating in the air somewhere]

[galahads]

[ f l a t l y: ] Ah, but I don't do the washing. [ NOT HIS JOB. ]

[asecondsun]

I'm afraid I can't claim to relate.

[Robots.]

god i can't handle how lazy he is i am so sorry

[edle_gestalt]

[SHRUG.]

It saves quite a lot of trouble. It is not a pleasant decision, no, but as I said it is not likely to be permanent. And my Mundane would like to add that games are not the be-all and end-all. There seem to be quite a lot of dark themes that are popular these days, and that can be draining and personally I'm glad that mine is opposed to sending me to those sorts of places now. I prefer to simply exist, not to be tormented.

I meant that you are still talking. Meaning you are still here, in existence. You haven't disappeared from her "headspace" or what have you.

Relax and enjoy the vacation.

[unionjackass]

Industrious one you are. [HE FOLDS HIS ARMS. gives this lad a look]

My point still stands! It's a silly thing to waste something that still has potential use.

[longwhitecloud]

Lack of frequent headaches sounds like a rather desirable goal, big bro Iggy.

[galahads]

[ TOTALLY IMPERVIOUS (read: he just smiles. lazily and smugly.) ] Not at all. I make a point of doing as little as I can possibly get away with.

[ p a u s e. eyeing. ] And what is your potential use?

NO IT'S OK FLAKJSLKFJAKLSDF I LOVE THIS and he blurts out:

[unionjackass]

I don't take vacations!!

[edle_gestalt]

[A pause. EXCUSE ME.]



Maybe that's your problem.



[this guy has more federal holidays than Greece um]

[unionjackass]

[oh, he's one of t h o s e .] Looks as though you're intent on quite the achievement. [puts emphasis on the 'achievement' bit] Best of luck with the endeavor.

[--arthur pauses, discreetly narrows his eyes and offers a thin smile.] That's a broad and rude question, but I've decided to be gracious anyway. You'll have to be more specific, lad.

[unionjackass]

Oh please, I've things to manage. I can't afford to lounge about all day. [giving Austria the eye.] Can't switch off being a nation with a commonwealth and overseas territories to oversee.

[koalas]

But you always have a headache!

[unionjackass]

--Don't call me that.

Yes, it is, but if that's the only goal I'd say her priorities are stunted at best.

[unionjackass]

I wonder why. [raised eyebrows. there's love there, really. hidden somewhere in the fuzz.]

[koalas]

Coz you're a grump. Not her fault, nothing she can do to stop 'em. [All of the the tsunlove!]

[unionjackass]

To what, exactly?
