[neveraskedforthis]

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- Ill advised. But I'd say that for any relationship anywhere!

[implying]

[ dammit, the fondness of relationships outweighs the dislike of adam
sigh ]

There isn't any reason not to pursue a relationship.

[noble_nate]

Whoever stole the second vending machine is likely the one who stole all of those other things a few months ago and then tried to resell them on the network. Regardless of whether he steals again, he needs to be found and brought to justice. I would consider that the most important work of all.

As far as pursuing a relationship while here, I see nothing wrong with doing so.

3 -- I tried it twice and both times ended in heartbreak. It's not recommended.

3: do it! you'll regret it more if they leave and you never tried

[biwinning]

3. recommended for mo2t people.
not you.

[onemoredeath]

One - none I am aware of.

Two - perhaps they thought the machine was their mother?

Three - it is like everything we do here, for good or for ill we cannot stop being human.

I wouldn't say it's a terrible idea but be prepared for the sudden loss of your partner. That could be as simple as being separated across the city or their losing their life. War times never make for easy love.

[That rusty voice again.]

We're fighting a war.

Exactly how cooperative action is your police force? I'm not antisocial, but I do my best work alone.

I'd say it depends on how committed you are. Like any other place.

[solitaire]

3 - why the hell not?

also, it depends on your definition of serious.

[ Since the other two on the list is of little interest and he's actually awake and little bored-- ]

how many?

[trustycrowbar]

3. As long as you're willing to live with the fact that either of you could vanish at any time.

[salvagedsoul]

In response to 3, risky. Transports come and go at random. So I suppose you ought to ask yourself if the potential pain is worth the enjoyment you get before then.

[aceordisgraced]

How do you even steal a vending machine is my question.

Also, uh, you've got one life so why don't you do your best? [YOLO, Adam.]

D --> One: There is bound to be one somewhere, unfortunately I cannot e%terminate this search at the bud and say I am one, but if you continue to 100k I am almost 100% positive you will find someone
D --> Two: I have no idea nor do I care. There is an e%cess of cameras located around this area watching us continuously and you could probably- with a bit of effort- e%plore that as an option to finding out more
D --> Three: Yes, to those that value that sort of thing for
D --> Comfort... I suppose

1- I'm afraid I don't have any experience in that area.

2- That's a rather odd target for theft. My hands are busy with my store but I'll keep an eye and an ear out.

3- There is the problem of either one of you disappearing suddenly. If both of you are willing to advance your relationship despite that however, I don't see why not.

[ She has no idea what a vending machine is. And the less said by Valkyrie on relationships the better. So let's ask about question 1: ]

What is a therapist?

[flightybookshrew]

I can't provide anything in the way of paperwork or documentation as we're trapped in a futuristic hellscape, but I could certainly attempt to assist you with your need for mental catharsis and relief.

If you are really looking for one. So many people claim they are, but don't actually desire any professional assistance.

[boundbyheart]

Why would anyone be an idiot and have a relationship here? Love is for idiots.

[ACTION; dated to blackout]

[She saw Adam's post. She read all the subthreads. At least once. She rolled her eyes and proceeded to ignore it. How could she possibly give any merit to a post propositioning relationship advice that also simultaneously asked for a licensed therapist?

...Samus wished it was that easy. Samus Aran feared few things, but of those few things emotional intimacy was possibly one of them. Or at least the prospect of it frightened her, and not for what it was but for what it could do--both to her and someone she legitimately liked and cared about.

Long term wasn't a word she could even fathom the idea of, let alone with Ridley's presence. If anything, it made her inclined to want to distance herself from it all the more. It was slowly becoming apparent that Adam has his own set of issues complicating the matter even further, and she knew just ignoring it wasn't going to resolve it.

All the electricity-deprived apartment building offered was deafening silence and blackness. After the initial excitement of the morning to discover that was probably just a blown fuse somewhere, the rest of the day was dull and monotonous by comparison. Her patrol was uneventful, seemingly wherever her boots carried her. The rest of the city stayed lit up and carried on as usual, barely taking note of one building left in the dark. Adam's building was right over there, she could see it plainly from where she stood.

Before she knew her boots carried her that way, up the elevator and to his door. Her Power Suit had come off somewhere between that and now as she knocked on the door.]

1 - I hope you can find what you're looking for. What are neurocybernetics, though, if I may ask?

2 - That's really strange. Why are they interfering with your work, though? Are you living off them?

3 - If there's something I've come to realize recently, it's that people can be lost in a lot of ways. It's really sad that someone you care about can vanish one day, but that can happen just as easily without being in a place like this.

You might as well try to enjoy the time you have while you have it. You might regret it if you don't.

late comment is late, i apologize; text

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.
