If you could quit, if you could leave, if you could really give up.....

....would you?

New York is nice this time of year.

I'm bad at that. Tried it. It's hard to give up on people you care about.

You can't save people from themselves.

My first encounter with her didn't go well, but she must be an okay person or you wouldn't care so much, right?

[myjob_sucks]

I wish I could hate her like I hate my enemies. It would be easier. And it would hurt less.

I don't know why I try.

Generally she's bearable.

[bananas_an]

Well, I failed. I did okay until it was obvious they needed a friend. But, I don't know...things are better now. So maybe the time away did us good.

Because you care and you see she can change.

I'll take your word for it. ^_^

[myjob_sucks]

I've been called heartless, so maybe it'll be easier for me.

But will she? And can I hold on until then?

[bananas_an]

Just because people call you something, doesn't mean it's so.

I don't know. It was hard for me at first. I had it easy because I don't think he even noticed.

Is she normally a mean person or is she being thoughtless?

[myjob_sucks]

I think that even if she notices, she won't take it seriously. She hardly ever does, and that makes her very hard to put up sometimes.

I would say she is normally a thoughtless person who needs nothing short of an earthquake to wake her up.

[bananas_an]

...Maybe you need to instigate an earthquake.

[myjob_sucks]

I don't matter to her. Any earthquake I start won't be big enough.

Thank you for trying to help me with this. I'm sorry about the friends of yours she hurt.

[bananas_an]

First thing you need to do is stop apologizing for what she does.

I meant that you know what's important to her, right? Basically, she needs to be on the receiving end or think one of her friends is if that's her weak point. Maybe then she'll realize that what she thinks is harmless fun isn't.

I don't mean victimize someone. They'd have to be in on it with you. And it's low-down and sneaky, I know. But sometimes people need to be walloped with a Clue x 4.

[myjob_sucks]

I was planning to let her hit some walls and deal with the consequences of her actions and the realization that I won't be bailing her out. Would tough love work?

[bananas_an]

I thought you'd already tried that. My option is last resort. It's manipulative as anything, and I hate that.

Tough love would work best if the rest of her friends agreed to do join in.

[myjob_sucks]

I haven't had time. She still thinks I'm kidding. But I am willing to try your option if mine doesn't pan out.

I have at least one on my side, with a possibility of another. Really, most of her friends, and mine, are absent on here, so a little could go a long way.

[bananas_an]

Let's hope she doesn't anger anyone who'll rip her to shreds. I know she has powers and stuff, but so do others.

[myjob_sucks]

She's strong, but.....there's always someone stronger.

[bananas_an]

Exactly.
