039// uh huh. okay. what's up? shut up.

These little word bubbles are making things interesting, to say the least. My customer service was already pretty shitty, but I'd never made anybody cry before. But anybody who tries to pick up a woman with a line like that needs the wake-up call

....Everyone can read what Praise is saying, as well as things I've considered saying aloud. He's been taking advantage of this all day.

[felinemystique]

Oh, man.

No offense, but I think you and I should do all our communicating over the journal for a while. Things with me and Praise might get ugly.

[subject_e0057]

...True.

I might have to do this with a lot of people. He's... overdosing on being able to communicate, I think.

[child_proteus]

Oh wow. awkward.

[subject_e0057]

...Mostly when he's being lewd.

[felinemystique]

Yeah, I can see that. I can't even really blame him, to be honest.

Any trouble with it so far?

[subject_e0057]

...I suppose I can't either.

Quite a few awkward situations. You know how... Blatant he can be. And for people who aren't aware, it can be disconcerting, I'm sure.

[felinemystique]

If you need any help with that, let me know. I can brave the awkwardness if it'll keep you guys out of a fight.

[subject_e0057]

No, no one has tried to start a fight... and I'm fairly sure I could stop it things came to that. But thank you. The worst I've had is indignant looks and some man yell at me.

[felinemystique]

Oh, I know you can take care of yourself. Just putting the offer out there, but I'm glad it hasn't been an issue so far.

[subject_e0057]

No, it's not so much taking care of myself as... I'm not sure. Stopping conflicts just... it feels like it's something I can do. Granted, verbally I typically accidentally start them...

One of those strange feelings, you know?

Thank you, Bastet.

[felinemystique]

Hey, no problem. Yeah, we're all about strange feelings around here. Knowing things for which there's no basis in memory.

I tend to offend people--well, men--without meaning to. So I can understand.

[subject_e0057]

True. I'm sure eventually we'll figure it out and roll our eyes at how obvious it seems, then.

It's part of your charm.

[felinemystique]

And wonder how it took us so long to see it.

You're so cute, Raise. You're probably the only person who thinks that.

[subject_e0057]

Mm. I look forward to that, really.

I'm not so sure. You wouldn't be Bastet if you didn't push the boundaries, after all.

[felinemystique]

The thing is, like most people, I don't say half of what I think. And there's generally a reason for that.

Which is why I'll have to do some experimenting to see if I can find a way around this.
