i'll pass it along why shouldn't i say anything positive about you to people? a wiseass once told me shortly after i got off the port "you're putting way too much weight in public opinion it's always wrong" not that i've told anyone about us in any capacity or intend to especially no one from my world just telling you what you told me why are you so hateful towards virginia it's a lovely place nice and isolated from the people

and if people think you can do something for them
they bother you
do you know how many people bother me atm?
the 5ish that i want to bother me
i have held this nirvana for 3 years and a political campaign
that i can sometimes do things is not getting out now

and because i do

[...hmm.]

if people find out and bother you that initiates a connection to another person for better or worse there's an attempt at a bond people break promises better to keep them at an arm's reach as much as possible so you don't have to deal with the fallout when they find something they don't like and there's conflict or you can't be what they wanted no matter what you try sometimes trying to be what they want goes against who you are bending too much isn't enjoyable bend too much what they thought you were doesn't align any more and you can't convince them otherwise when the word friend becomes the worst swear word there is feels like everyone broke their promise

[Also cannibalism. And the Porter, but he's not going to go that far. Not now. She's been here long enough to know that people come and go, what better way to keep from being too influenced by a disappearance than not engaging anyone?]

which is a good reason to live in virginia the motto is for lovers our sports teams have the nickname wahoos west virginia repeatedly comes in #1 in the nation for most miserable state, has one of the lowest life expectancies we have jamestown and good wine great but the state is crap and i know it that's one reason i'm here no one bothers you in virginia few people want to be here

did you just psychoanalyze me

no? you'd know if i was psychoanalyzing you i could if you wanted me to like a free personality test they do online from an expert that's not based on jungian archetypes and doesn't come from fred who is a much more qualified expert and very accomplished in his field holds a respectable title back where we're from but he's also fred

[She'd know because there would be metaphors and similes that fell apart and he'd sound like he was currently having a verbal mental breakdown. That up there? Yeah, he sees it in her. But that's not a full one. It also happens to be something he sees in himself (and others see in him, whether he likes it or not).]

do not
there's no need for that
or any talk of bending or promises in any condition
i like my life
and only have one reason to hate virginia
and i know what it is already
but
you're okay to point out everything wrong with other not us people
i could make a list

[Not even a promise not to psychoanalyze you? he types, backspaces. He can't keep that promise. Part of being a person, not keeping promises. Better not to make them or joke about it.]

got it okay we can make a list together if you want raccoons can write it out when our hands start cramping did you and troy go for coffee by the way did everything go well with that

[As casual as he can make it.]

[She doesn't actually think he's jealous, not really. But there's a tiny chance and he did ask specifically...so of course there's only one way to answer.]

oh you know
we made sweet love in an auto parts store after
so pretty okay
why
does he have a tragic personality flaw i should know about?

Edited 2014-09-23 21:30 (UTC)

[It had to be an auto parts store, didn't it.]

he's great with kids lives with fred and manages to not dump his ass out a window or lose his mind i don't foresee him being unpleasant with Abigail reads like an interesting one to have around the house no no tragic personality flaw just tragic rooming i shoved a box of wine in the back of the fridge when i picked Abigail up for our weekend out i'm assuming it's been found by now so troy? pretty okay

[criminal profiler seal of approval]

[she has to laugh. beautifully long answer for what she was expecting the text equivalent of an eye roll from]

he's cool
he's another old timer
he was here a long time before you

[And, very much not added, if the pattern of people that April like likes holds up, will be here long after Will has gone]

but
we were friends with no benefits before the baltimore club showed up
totally not changing that now
if you were asking

[Sometimes people can be psychoanalyzed in ways that aren't harsh, cutting, that don't go for the lowest blow. Sometimes people are genuinely good, or try to be. From what Will's seen of this Troy, he's all right. Talks about bedazzling hot dogs and raccoons having hands with tiny kids and doesn't afraid to live with Frederick Chilton. That's fucking hero status in Baltimore. He deserves a key to the city, which comes with a side key to the morgue because Goddamn those are packed and need a hero.]

yeah he's cool i explained why and that Abigail is not allowed to trick fred into drinking boxed wine so i'm pretty good to go with him and you around it's just a box of wine i can't control what happens to the contents stop shitting on me in public and maybe i'll stop shoving temptation in your fridge you told me up front you weren't monogamous much we're not tied down you're free shark april is free shark april is swimming in circles for some unknown reason but no one's gonna stop her no reason to try stopping her namesake

[He still has the shark April bruise on his leg.]

i am not much
but i can be
and troy won't let me steal from his roommates anymore :(
it's all on abby now

reaffirming my thinking he's pretty okay she won't we're respective of dietary restrictions, bs or otherwise

[Unless Lecter goes over his head on that one, then...shit, Will would get Chilton's crap because no one wants to go running off the mouth at Lecter. Here's to hoping she just slaps his face if things get to be too much. He's not commenting about Abby.]

do you wanna be? monogamous

[That sounds suspiciously like another question, doesn't it.]

mm
you have zero feelings on the subject?

[ you're going to give an opinion, Will. So help her. ]

[He's not used to people caring about his opinions! At least, not when it comes to personal matters. Much less feelings and asking for them in a way that's not...

This is weird for him, okay?]

i'm good with monogamy but i'm not exactly the guy you tell everyone about the one announced to the entire world

[Like Kenzi and Gil, he means. Or Facebook. Or...anything. Anything at all. Because April's right that Will is sad. He also has a habit of getting other people royally screwed over, but that's stayed rather a Baltimore crew only fact, as far as he knows.]

so if that's your thing then i can't provide if you're okay with private monogamy then i am too totally okay with it

[Sad and possibly a lonely lonely man back home.]

good thing i only have my 5 people
and they're all pretty much romantically stunted
so.
but no double dates, huh

[Not that that's really her thing. But she hadn't been lying when she said Will and Gil should meet. And the last time Gil went on a 'date' with her...

Well, it's enough to make her smirk about it now.]

[He has to wonder who her five are, who this supposed double date might be with. He's done his network searching, she's mentioned others, true. But there's always the possibility she'll pull someone out of a hat that he totally didn't expect at all and he won't know whether he's meant to take it as a joke.]

do you really want our first date to be a double date

[Because they technically haven't had one, have they. And maybe he can veer this away from dating with other people present by approaching the danced around or otherwise brought up in all the wrong ways.]

do you want to go on a proper date? or does the mystery adventure involve a preplanned first date for us? since i've proven myself romantically stunted and all

[Waffle House counts as much as any fancy ass restaurant, in his book.]

i just like spending time together
the title doesn't matter
and i only really go to nice places when i'm out of clean silverware
they have too many forks anyway
they never notice them missing

[Well then, he knows what he must do.]

my house doesn't really have much silverware in the first place if we go out would you remedy that for us?

are you encouraging criminal behavior?

yes doesn't that turn you on?

[Villains are more fun in her book, this is not a really illogical conclusion to come to. Tone is difficult to tell in text, though. He's banking on that here. It can be taken a dozen different ways.]

oh
you're doing good
but you're helping

well of course i am aiding and abetting is a crime as much as silverware theft

["Dibs on the knives" just sounds wrong.]

you don't want a whole dishware set?
if we're going on a date spree
we're doing it right

of course i do but i don't want to go to jail either so we're gonna have to plan this one out very carefully aren't we
