honestly, I'd be about fifty times worse than Lark. I'd gnaw my own legs off. it's a good thing I don't like hurting people.

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

Yeah. You manage lines, even while caring a lot.

I cared abouit him. all his gross little habits that are just a result of not caring about anyon ebut himself and I was telling myself he was just cute and awkward.

no.

awkward =/= being an egregious self-obsessed arsehole. apparently I didn't get that memo.

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[oddswerebad]

sometimes it can be hard to tell.

['Awkward' isn't really his type, but people who care more about themselves than you might try to believe - well, he doesn't like to think that he's been there.]

believing people can be better is part of being here. sometimes i think that it makes it even more complicated.

ain't that the truth.

like when they murder someone while having an emotional breakthrough and everyone yells at you for not locking them up.

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[oddswerebad]

yeah.

to be fair, if they're going back to a lot of worlds, dealing with people yelling about murder while having an emotional breakthrough is necessary in its way.

wouldn't be surprised if you get a lot of that with Mystique

murder or murder as emotional breakthrough

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[routemistress]

probably just murder tbh, she's not been here long enough for emotions, never mind breakthroughs.

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[oddswerebad]

that usually takes a bit. stages of barge something.

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[routemistress]

yeah, I'm thinking it through: she's very smart, very tactical. not the type to murder carelessly. she's calculating, not passionate the way Vic was.

you should be able to get through to her, at least.

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[oddswerebad]

[Those are qualities he knows how to work with.]

She sounds like someone who'd be willing to talk.

That's a useful first step.

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[routemistress]

she'll probably imagine she can manipulate you. that should be entertaining XD

Re: (after the pairing announcement)

[oddswerebad]

it's often useful.
