i don't do it anymore i used to just play with her ears and scratch her neck and chest and bathe her thoroughly and then surprise human human parts in spots i used to run my hands through like nbd because it wasn't! now it is it is an abnormal type of heavy petting how is that not weird?
idk still happened in dog form she's a big bad car-flipping monster thing if it bothered her you were doing it i think you'd have known so it wasn't weird for her, i guess and if she's not demanding cuddles after probably not a sex thing so if it wasn't weird then and it is now and the only thing that's changed is you knowing something new i kinda think you're making it weird
okay 1 she's not a monster we don't use that word and there's nothing sexual about it how is this not weird??? every time i think about doing her like i used to [!?] i'm just reminded that she can be human and all the scratching and hands on aspects what parts that translates to on a human and that's head patting and stuff is fine but ruffling up all down her neck and chest now is she has woman parts there sometimes i can't not think about that that's WEIRD
["Sometimes there are boobs here. New path, scratch the back."]
[He can only handle the word "monster" so many times, especially in regards to someone he actually likes who is not...well...a monster who talks about monsters as if he isn't one himself.]
that word and i have a bad relationship thank you for the welcome again you're still the most helpful person here fyi
okay, okay super hybrid? human+fluff? whatever she is i can provide flea baths if it's too weird for you now and don't tell anyone about that last part
her name is Bader sometimes she's a wolf sometimes she's a human but she's always Bader i'll let her know if you're really serious about the offer though knowing she can be human i think maybe she can handle herself until i get over my being weird like you said because you're right i never would have thought it weird if i didn't see her as a woman on the porch with two coyotes what last part last part of what
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
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
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
[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?
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
[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
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.]
[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
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.]
no subject
hm
but why are you making it weird
if you don't like it
don't do it
no subject
i used to just
play with her ears and scratch her neck and chest
and bathe her thoroughly and then surprise
human
human parts in spots i used to run my hands through like nbd
because it wasn't!
now it is
it is an abnormal type of heavy petting
how is that not weird?
no subject
still happened in dog form
she's a big bad car-flipping monster thing
if it bothered her you were doing it i think you'd have known
so it wasn't weird for her, i guess
and if she's not demanding cuddles after probably not a sex thing
so if it wasn't weird then
and it is now
and the only thing that's changed is you knowing something new
i kinda think you're making it weird
no subject
she's not a monster
we don't use that word
and there's nothing sexual about it
how is this not weird???
every time i think about doing her like i used to [!?]
i'm just reminded that she can be human
and all the scratching and hands on aspects
what parts that translates to on a human
and that's
head patting and stuff is fine but ruffling up all down her neck and chest now is
she has woman parts there sometimes
i can't not think about that
that's WEIRD
["Sometimes there are boobs here. New path, scratch the back."]
no subject
but seriously, will
normalcy is relative
welcome to superworld
no subject
that word and i have a bad relationship
thank you for the welcome
again
you're still the most helpful person here
fyi
no subject
super hybrid?
human+fluff?
whatever she is
i can provide flea baths if it's too weird for you now
and don't tell anyone
about that last part
no subject
sometimes she's a wolf sometimes she's a human
but she's always Bader
i'll let her know if you're really serious about the offer
though knowing she can be human i think
maybe she can handle herself
until i get over my being weird
like you said
because you're right
i never would have thought it weird if i didn't
see her as a woman on the porch with two coyotes
what last part
last part of what
no subject
and
the helpfulness
don't say that to people
it's bad for my street cred
but she has coyotes now
god your house is wasted on virginia
no subject
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
no subject
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
no subject
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
no subject
no subject
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

no subject
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
no subject
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.]
no subject
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?
no subject
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]
no subject
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
no subject
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.]
no subject
but i can be
and troy won't let me steal from his roommates anymore :(
it's all on abby now
no subject
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.]
no subject
you have zero feelings on the subject?
[ you're going to give an opinion, Will. So help her. ]
no subject
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.]
no subject
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.]
