TM 232: Unkind

[shadeof_grey]

Is there a situation where it's appropriate to be unkind?This is an odd question for me to answer, because I'm a rather notorious 'nice girl.' I can't seem to do anything to shake that reputation, despite the fact that I know full well a good number of you out there think of me as a total bitch. A few of you are honest enough to say it to my face

You are not a...that p-word that I don't know.

[shadeof_grey]

Pejorative just means 'negative.' Sorry. The last person I had a serious conversation with was Hank.

But seriously, I know you're not one of the people who feels that way, but it's nice to have it affirmed. It's not a big deal, though. What I'm basically getting at is that there's no point in being kind to people who have proved they don't want it or deserve it.

[skids_sally]

Dr. McCoy has an impressive vocabulary.

Yeah. I'm kinda learning that I guess. Like no point in putting in all the energy to be kind to people who are just continuously mean to you and stuff. Makes sense.

[shadeof_grey]

Exactly. That's what I've been trying to tell Lorna.

Is someone being mean to you?

[skids_sally]

[locked]

Not really. No.

[shadeof_grey]

Good! They'd better not be.

How's your summer going?

[skids_sally]

[locked]

My summer is amazing! Or well, kinda. I love my internship! I'm making new friends.

John isn't dead but is dying and I told him I won't be seeing him...which I feel bad about but like, I don't think I could handle watching someone else die.

Lorna is so gonna stay in LA forever, I just know it. But Mr. Hellrung seems like a nice guy so...yeah.

Friends are good! Did I see that you've been spending time with the other Sally?

I think Lorna should do whatever she wants, and stop worrying what other people think. If she's happy with Henry, good for her.

And I'm very sorry about your friend, but -- I think you're making the right choice assuming you're telling the truth and not what you think I want to hear.

I am yes! I'm going to show her around NYC on Sunday! She really wants to see the UN so we're gonna go there for a tour. And get pretzels. And maybe head over to the zoo.

That is like totally easier said than done, Ms. Grey, cause she's like ALWAYS worrying.

We already mourned him, I can't do it again.

[shadeof_grey]

*locked*

Oh, good, Sally's always loved the UN. Since she was a little kid.

Lorna wouldn't be Lorna if she wasn't worrying.

And . . .yeah, no one can tell you how to deal with that kind of thing. I AM sorry, though. It seems like he was working hard to change, even if his methods were kind of iffy.

[skids_sally]

[locked]

You knew her when she was a little kid? ...huh?!?!

Very very true. Then we'd know she was like pod!Lorna.

Well, plenty of people try to tell how you should react but I'm tired of listening. So I stopped.

He was an idiot and joined Freedom Force.

*locked*

[shadeof_grey]

Yeah, you know. When she lived with Steve and Tony.

*locked*

[skids_sally]

Who're Steve and Tony?

...

Not like Mr. Stark!Tony? Right? Riiiiiight?

*locked*

[shadeof_grey]

Yeah, you know, from that whole weird everybody's gay-verse, where Bea and Sally and Lorna's Katie all came from because Wanda invented them.

*locked*

[shadeof_grey]

PS

Umm, possibly I wasn't supposed to mention that.

You can pretend I never said anything, right?

*locked*

[skids_sally]

.....

WHAT?!?!?!?!

Stop. Go back. Explain. Though...Wanda is involved so...there might not be much of an explanation...
