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.

3. Fine, you know the limitations, go with what feels right. Especially you if you're talking about this because you have no excuse to hold back, Adam!

2. We have vending machines???

1. Not licensed, but a few work over at the Exile hospital and the Initiative one.

shh, just accept my own late comment

[ because adam refuses to do this backwards like an edgy kid ]

1 -- The latter is out of the question. Do you have names?

2 -- As a matter of fact.

3 -- Are you sure you're qualified to give me advice on love matters?

yes, good

1. One off the top of my head? Kolin Ysif. More than that you'll need to give me a day or so to get back to you!

2. That's so not fair! Is the junk food in them any good?

3. Considering how much grumpy you walk around with, I think so!

[neveraskedforthis]

1 -- Take as much time as you need. The best I got right now is an overeager teenager that probably thinks of me as a guinea pig or something.

2 -- The candy's acceptable. I mostly just stick to the soda though.

3 -- Well, imagine all the grumpy suddenly got replaced with happy. Wouldn't that be really scary?

[whatsupcroc]

1. Okay! I'll get back to you with names ater this week.

2. Soda....

3. Grumpy turned happy? I'd hide away under my covers! Hahaha, you're silly, Adam. You being happier isn't a bad thing! You definitely deserve it.

[neveraskedforthis]

Soda.

And I don't know about that, but it doesn't matter, anyway. I think you make up for my lack of happiness/bubbliness just fine.

[whatsupcroc]

You're so sweet! I still think dating and being close to people that way is as okay as being close as friends or family here. Gewtting caught up in thinking why it's a bad idea, that's just silly. Of course it's a bad idea! Most of the things worth having in life don't come along because you sat there waiting for the good idea to come along. Make your own luck, you know? ANd your own decisions on when something's good or bad, and if it's an okay kind of bad for you.

[ HE JUST STARES AT THIS SPATE OF WORDS, TRYING TO PROCESS IT ]

Well, you're trying. I might even say that almost sounded wise if I didn't know how old you are.

[whatsupcroc]

Really I was just thinking about how awesomely that justifies going after bad ideas B)

[neveraskedforthis]

My, you've got a wily side. No surprise then that you're so attracted to bad boys.

[whatsupcroc]

What can I say? Sometimes "bad" is good! Too good to resist.
