Hello. A couple things:

1 -- Are there any licensed therapists around here? Before you ask: yes, it's exactly what it sounds like, and before you volunteer like the good samaritan you are, I should probably inform you that I gave my last counselor a nervous breakdown.

So. Just figured I'd point that out. But hey, why not give it another shot, right? Even better if you know a thing or two about neurocybernetics, but that's not a must. We can work out some form of payment.

2 –- Another vending machine at the station went missing. What the hell is up with that? Whoever's doing this, are you deliberately trying to annoy me and keep me from doing more important work or what, while I'm chasing a vending machine thief. That said, we're low on staff. Go sign up if you have nothing better to do with your time, but don't touch any fucking vending machines. Unless you just want to get a drink, I guess that's okay.

3 -- Your thoughts on pursuing a serious relationship while trapped in this place. Go.

Yeah, or I could just continue living like I do now. I manage somehow.

[ Nevermind him having checked your earlier posts in the meantime ... ]

How is a teenager qualified to give psychological advice to adults, again?

[flightybookshrew]

You could, but it's hardly the preferred option, is it?

If you are looking for some sort of 'worldly advice' check, I suspect I meet all the standard criteria.
I've lost my parent, I watched my world end, all of my friends have died, and I'm currently in the process of attempting to save the universe from a time traveling evil of impossible scale.

[It was all technically correct...]

[ SO LET'S JUST ASSUME.... ]

So if that's the case, don't you need therapy just as badly as I do?

[text]

[flightybookshrew]

Probably.
But my own personal troubles hardly prevent me from assisting you with yours.

[text]

[neveraskedforthis]

I'm not convinced of that.

But like I said, whatever. If unloading my issues on a volunteering teenager will help me feel more at ease, sure.

[flightybookshrew]

Does my age really matter?

[text]

[neveraskedforthis]

In fact, it does. You're lacking life experience and proper education.

[text]

[flightybookshrew]

And yet you could easily argue that I've lived through more experiences than many two or three times my age.

[text]

[neveraskedforthis]

I'd rather argue that you've lived through stuff most mentally healthy people wouldn't have experienced. It also doesn't necessarily mean that you've handled these situations well and are authorized to give advice to others.

Hence, I'd take everything you say with a grain of salt.

[text]

[flightybookshrew]

You should do that regardless of who you are speaking to.

So have you decided you are going to engage my services, then?

[text]

[neveraskedforthis]

I believe I said that I would. For a trial session, anyway.

[text]

[flightybookshrew]

Wonderful.

I believe I can find a place for you somewhere in my schedule.

[text]

[neveraskedforthis]

It's a very busy one, I'm sure. Whenever you have time.

[text]

[flightybookshrew]

I will contact you to arrange an appropriate time, then.

[ooc: So do you want to play out this most likely horrible little shrink session? hehe.]

[ ooc: yes, but I assume Adam will be preeeetty busy the coming days... however, he's definitely gonna need a therapist, more than ever, don't worry 8) ]
