What The Hell She's On About

* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Hey, question. How the fuck do I deal with your girlfriend?)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Try that again, with a little more respect and context.)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Scenario: she's keeping information from me and I don't like it. I haven't been able to be in a room with her for twenty minutes without it devolving into a shouting match, with the exception of me walking her to the emergency room yesterday.)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (I'm not sure what to do here. I think it might be a case of mutually orthogonal quirks of personality, but she's hinted what she can't tell me is kind of critical to the session.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Right, so it's probably something important about Myra. What did you do the last time you got a 'You Will Know When The Time Is Right~" answer regarding some important game-related prophecy, and you didn't want to risk your Tactician's Folly on finding out the answers /right/ /now/.)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Any answer that I would give to that question would be pre-Seergate.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( So, in otherwords, you are congentially incapable of fucking waiting. )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (No!)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (I mean)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (I promised myself I'd never get into that kind of situation again.)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Ha. Ha ha ha. Yeah, fuck Sburb.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Where someone's keeping information from you, more-than-likely with the intent to reveal and address it /later/, when she's /ready/, you....can't take than on good faith and wait? Because it puts you in a position of obligation? Gives her power over you? )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Because the person who wishes to control information is always the person who wishes to control your thoughts and opinions.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( 'I'd like to make a favorable impression rather than a bad one' is a kind of mind control, then? )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (...what?)\
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( People always want to control or manage what other people think or feel about them. That's, uh, persuasion. It's not /always/ a sinister dystopic and/or facist conspiracy. What do you /actually/ think is going on here?)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Persuasion is dishonest, then.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Then so's all the work you put into carefully crafting a persona and a brand for Corpse Fiesta. )
<epiele|online> [Well, shit.]
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Okay, fine.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( So, Echo. )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (What the hell is she on about?)
<ventricularPipefitter> [>You consider asking 'Cho about Epi. You....decide to make an educated guess.]
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( She'd rather not be treated as an extention of Myra and her mistakes. )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Wait, when did I say I did that?)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( And, as someone /close/ to Myra, however your relationship with your mentor ended, she'd probably like to level with you at some point about the events of their session. But, uh, you're going to need to be someone she /knows/ and she's /comfortable/ with before that happens. )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Oh, so it's a matter of until I /deserve/ to know.)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Nice. Fuck that.)
<epiele|online> [That's not what he said.]
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Uh, no. Do you talk about everything going on in your head with everyone? )
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Or do you talk about some of it just with Bryn or Dane or Zeimah? )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (No, but that's because most people wouldn't care to listen.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" (If you two are having shouting matches and personality clashes you're probably not listening to each-other.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Would you want to talk about how a friend died with someone who yells at you? )
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Your point?)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( ***epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Oh, so it's a matter of until I /deserve/ to know.) )
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( That this statement is full of shit and you should go back and re-read what I said before it more carefully. )
<epiele|online> [You are beginning to regret this.]
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (I should, or you think I should?)
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (Difference.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( Here, let's try bullet points. 1. If 'Cho told you there's something she wants to tell you, there's something she wants to tell you. 2. If she's waiting, it's because she's not comfortable enough yet with you as a person to share that information. Because it's, y'know. Stuff about feelings and emotions and loss.)
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( 3. You two are, I am told, actively hostile towards each-other. 4. Therefore, it is understandable that she doesn't want to talk to you about something which would require emotional vulnerability and honest communication. )
* ventricularPipefitter PMs "Epi" ( 5. Does that do it, or should I get some image macros? )
<epiele|online> [...]
* epiele|online PMs ventricularPipefitter (I will take your remarks under consideration. Good-bye.)
