[Not surprisingly, when her transmission starts, the listener is immediately greeted by laughter -- it was the woman's trademark, after all. However, those who have spoken to her before might notice that her giggling today has a far more lengthy duration, broke up only by anxiety-driven breaths. No, the woman wasn't having a panic attack, but she

They were in the wrong, but when it comes to unwanted physical contact - unfortunately, people tend to frown on that. It's even classed as assault in some areas, meaning the police can get involved - even over such a simple thing as grabbing their arm. It's stupid, but unfortunately, that's most likely the reason they got angry.

However, the fact they said such things to you... really, I'd say they could go destroy themselves if they were so determined to do so. You didn't deserve that.

[A light laugh.]

As a "newcomer", the locals probably think of you as a liability no matter what you do. It's common, if an employee seems to be losing control, for them to be sent home to calm down. You're not in trouble, at least. If it happens again, I advise you stick to verbal warnings and if they refuse to listen, that's their own fault. It might be an idea to take a look at some books about persuasive speaking, however. There are tricks politicians and the like use to sway arguments in their favour.

But that...that's stupid! Eheh!

Maybe...but I still don't want something bad to them...not really, heehee. It's not like they hurt me. [In which case, she would have killed them. 8|]

...you think I should take up persuasive speaking?!

[This is a woman who can literally have three minute conversations with herself. Do you want to unleash that on the world, Liquid? DO YOU?!]

I agree. It's a ridiculous overreaction for a minor issue. In some workplaces they don't even want you to tap people on the shoulder to get their attention as even that can be classed as assault, or even sexual harassment.

Frankly, I never said to do anything bad to them - just to let them do what they want to themselves. Not everyone can be talked out of bad ideas.

[A slight pause.]

Is it that odd? At the very least it'll help you learn to handle situations like that better.

Sexual har-- heheh?! Why is everything so confusing here?!

[She pauses, pensively.] I guess when it comes down to it, people are inevitably going to hurt themselves, huh? Ahaha...

[Giving a heavy sigh, she continued.] No...it's just...I never considered it before is all.

[candyasss]

The hell were they trying to eat? [but he pauses.] Look, you did what you could anyway... if they don't listen, it's on them. Next time it happens, try not to get physical about it or you'll just wind up in trouble. People make shitty choices all the damn time, but it ain't your fault.

[deceptive_lulz]

Something bad, heeheehee. [Should she tell him? Hmmm...]

I know that now...heheh. I didn't mean to get that involved with it, really! Aha...hahaha -- it just...happened!

Maybe you're right...but I'd still feel bad if I had the power to stop something...and I didn't

You still at the Lux?

[She starts out with a barely audible breath. It had been a couple of weeks and after another one of her friends recently "disappeared", she was worried, okay.]

Y-yeah...eheheh...I am.

Why?

[whipfist]

[HE'S JUST AN EMOTIONALLY-NUMB ASSHOLE and doesn't even seem affected.]

Just wondering.

[deceptive_lulz]

[She WISHES she were an emotionally numb asshole. SHE WOULDN'T HAVE AS MANY PROBLEMS AS SHE DOES TODAY.]

Oh.

[hesitantly:] Ahaha...have you...been okay?

[Damn, and Griffin thought that he lacked social tact.]

It's easier to do right by yourself.

[deceptive_lulz]

[Yeah, buddy. Compared to her, you're a social pariah.]

I thought I was.

[limitedrun]

No, I mean-- What's right for you, not other people.

[deceptive_lulz]

...so in other words, I should have stayed quiet? Ahaha?

[ Frowning. ]

I don't think it was wrong of you to try and help someone - more people should do that. But at the same time, a lot of people don't want to listen to when something isn't good for them. They don't care if they're hurting themselves, or damaging their body. And you really can't force - you shouldn't force your opinion on them.

If they refuse to listen to you after one or two gentle attempts, let it go, Sarina. It's not worth getting upset over, or losing your job.

[ voice forevs ]

[deceptive_lulz]

[Looooooong sigh here.] I guess. But...what if it could be really bad for them? Heeheehee?! But if I can't help them...I guess nobody can.

[ video forevs ]

[of_frell]

They have to want the help. It doesn't matter how much you or anyone else wants to help them if they aren't willing to help themselves, or admit that they're in trouble. Because then they'll just fight you the entire way.

1/3 why am I doing this to myself on an iPod

[deceptive_lulz]

What if they don't realize they need the help?! I know that if I...if I...
