Caring is a distinct disadvantage. If only you had listened to me.

man it's been so long since i watched an episode

[babysit]

—problem?

that's okay we're behind in the uk still

[ex_detections314]

Emotional upheaval, it's all very tedious.

what epi are you guys on?

[babysit]

[ Joan presses her lips together. ]

Some people find the process cathartic.

man i only just watched it and i can't remember the number. but it's the one after clyde?

[ex_detections314]

I don't know what's purifying about being a self-invested drip.

i haven't gotten to clyde yet orz but i have heard of his magnificance

[babysit]

Maybe if you opened yourself up the possibility, you wouldn't find it so inconceivable.

aaah well i promise not to spoil you!

[ex_detections314]

I'm perfectly capable of seeing the variables Watson, I don't need to experience it.

[Caring is bad? Clyde is not fine with that.

Pets are responsibility.]

*Also, hi, it's been awhile. But whatever. Hi!*

[ex_detections314]

Well of course you may care about the physical welfare of something. The physical need far outweighs the emotional.

omg a clyde! hi

[paperwaiting]

[They're kind of inseparable at times.]

are there really no other Clydes around?

[ex_detections314]

Of course you can separate them. A man does not need emotion to live. [ Look at Sherlock. ]

i have never seen one! but i tend to only bring holmes out every so often.

[paperwaiting]

[He'll just stare. That is besides the point.

Even motivation could be seen as a form of caring.]

well, this guy's pretty new too. He needs to come back into the show eventually

[ex_detections314]

About oneself. That is the only thing that ever motivates me.

[paperwaiting]

[Well, you didn't have to take Clyde in, and you did. That's enough caring for him.]

[ex_detections314]

I had a craving for soup.

[paperwaiting]

[Not cool, man. Not cool. He'll downgrade you to dude if you keep this up.

He's going to just, pull himself back into his shell.]

[ex_detections314]

Fine, sulk. This is just where emotion gets you.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Now doesn't that sound familiar.

[ex_detections314]

It's something of a universal truth.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Only if you don't know how to take advantage of it.

[ex_detections314]

Or I could just not. That seems reasonable.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Rather wasteful, to discard a perfectly effective tool. Sentimental, even.

[ex_detections314]

I work with cold hard fact, not the fabricated heart strings.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Oh? And who says plucking those heartstrings can't yield cold hard facts?

[ex_detections314]

I do.

[ Wow. ] Emotion entangles, it ensnares. It does not solve.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Your biases are showing. Who ever said I was talking about one's own emotions?

[ex_detections314]

It's charming you think I would be without bias.

[womanwhobeatyou]

No, you think you should be without bias. I was just pointing out they're showing.

[ex_detections314]

And you would use feelings as a weapon, would you?

[womanwhobeatyou]

What do your deductions tell you?

[ex_detections314]

You seem to have a mistaken attachment to the notion.
