It's your last chance, honey, better (CALL YOUR MOTHER)

Now, if I had my way
I would leave you here to waste your final days
Buried beneath
(With the possibility of how things could be)

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers.
It's your last chance, honey,
Better (Call your mother!).
All hope is lost down in the gutter

Ever get the feeling that no matter what someone says or how far you offer to

So, the group hat I play with have all been friends for 3-4 years. Draco met them all when he was in college. I have known Draco for 12 years, and when they had an opening he talked to them and they were all game for me to give it a go and see if I wanted to come on board permanently. Sketch had been in the D&D group for a year when I joined, and knew them for about a year beyond that. The guys are all non-confrontational by nature. They just want to go back to playing, and figure if you don't want to be there you won't show up. They don't understand that some people either don't know how to bow out, or will stay out of spite. Sketch, in my opinion, was about 50/50 between both of those reasons. They didn't understand that they needed to talk to him back when this all started in early spring, and it just kept building all summer. Sketch was even making new characters that were literally designed to be lazy, argue with everyone, kill non-party members on sight, and do nothing but combat. Like, a good 40% of our quests we at least try for diplomacy first, and he knows this full well and was told to create a character that would fit with the party. Otherwise, why would they let him travel with them?!

I like to keep my friend circle pretty small, to be honest, and so do the guys. Outside of our D&D group, I can count on one hand the number of friends the guys have. Outside of the group, I have maybe 3 friends on a good day. I do not think that it is in any way worthwhile to keep him around, and I have made that clear to everyone. Unfortunately, I am but one person of seven serving on this pseudo-jury. Two are done with him entirely. The rest are wanting to give him a chance. If that is how the majority swings, I wanted to support the others by trying to offer help to Sketch. I have absolute zero expectation for anything good to come out of any of this.

Ugh. This is a big reason why my friends growing up were almost never from the same friend group. They can't start drama with each other if they don't know each other.
