We're swiftly running out of soapboxes. How many times must we, as a collective, pontificate to one another before redundancy becomes an issue?

For future reference, to avoid further network communiques on the following subjects:

- The floods are terrible nuisances and can often be psychologically crippling. Perhaps if we whinge about

Sure. [Someone still has Cooper stress.]

[Private]

[emptyyourself]

It's done with. Last week, before the flood.

I...supposed you ought to be one of the first to know.

[Private]

[most_feared]

[That at least perks him up a bit.] How did it go?

[Private]

[emptyyourself]

...Perfectly.

[Pause.]

We're keeping it quiet.

[Private]

[most_feared]

[Aww, that makes him happy.] I won't breathe a word of it. People can be pains in the ass sometimes.

[Private]

[emptyyourself]

[Aw, Kay. What a pal.]

I noticed your post during the flood. Cooper's gone, then?

[Private]

[most_feared]

He came back and proceeded to completely lose his shit because he got pulled out while his family was in danger.

[Private]

[emptyyourself]

I see.

Can you manage?

[Private]

[most_feared]

I want to.

Sometimes I look at Cooper and I don't just see someone that was a lot like me when I was young, I see a man that could have everything I never had a chance for if he just got it together.

Anyway, I suspect I'll still be here for a while.

I can't imagine it's healthy if we see ourselves in our inmates. Living vicariously through criminals, hoping to right past wrongs through them...

[Rambling.]

It could be worse than Cooper.

[Private]

[most_feared]

He's not even a criminal. He just did his job a little too willingly.

[He sighs.]

Are you two going to go to her place for it? [Happier subject.]

[Private]

[emptyyourself]

What was his job?

[Oh, good. Happy subjects. :| ]

She wants three. One in her world, one in mine, and one here. I, on the other hand, would rather stick red-hot needles in my eyes, but I suppose marriage is all about compromising.

[Beautiful wife made happy by including all her friends in her wedding day. OH SO PUT-UPON.]

There's a word for bridal extremism, isn't there?

[Private]

[most_feared]

I know a couple in other languages, but not in English. I think they just went with "Bridezilla" but that's the ones that make you wonder how the hell they're getting married in the first place.

[WOE IS YOU SNAPE!]

Maybe you can reason her down to two. [This is unlikely but man-support is important.]

[Private]

[emptyyourself]

There's no one in my world to invite. That's one down. If she wants one here, she has to keep the marriage itself quiet for the next three weeks.

You can imagine how well that will go, as she told Neil Howie the first day.

And don't you fill my ear about the sanctity of marriage and how I'm making a mockery of it by betting on it. I've gotten enough of that from Howie and Mozenrath.

[Private]

[most_feared]

Who am I to say how you two deal with your marraige? It's your marraige. Not mine. I don't see why they have much say in the matter either. They're not spending the rest of their life with the future Mrs. Snape-Jones.

Or however you do the name.

"Future"...You've clearly misunderstood what I was attempting to tell you when I contacted you today.

At any rate, thank you.
