Apologies if this is unwarranted or unwelcome, but I think it prudent if I apologize for Dualscar offending you
He's got a habit of puttin his foot in his mouth

palteringcecutiency
Goodness, does he? I had hardly noticed. And might I ask why you think that? I'd thought you some quadrant of his, not his keeper scuttling after him and cleaning up his messes.

jocularlyrefined
What a flattering way ta put it
I'm not his quadrant, nor his keeper, but I do like ta promote peace and clear communication between my friends when possible
I don't usually get involved in personal shit, and I ain't gonna be offended if you tell me to fuck off
But if I ain't unwelcome, I'd like to talk

palteringcecutiency
Hearing a clown say things about peace and clear communication is quite hilarious, let alone to me, but I admit a bit of curiosity.

jocularlyrefined
I'm not really a typical clown anyhow, even considerin general timeline differences :o)
Does the curiosity come from me bein an oxymoron by your standards or from me wantin to talk to you about Dual?

palteringcecutiency
Implying there's such thing as a typical clown.
A bit of one, a bit of the other. It's enough to humor you for a while and see what you wish to say, in any case.

jocularlyrefined
I've got to be honest, the vast majority of the time I'm promotin clear communication for someone so much more a wreck than him, so this kinda leaves me at a loss of what to say
I don't want to waste your time givin you a list of his good deeds like I'm listin off a pedigree
And regardless of my belief that he is a good person, you ain't really got much reason to put stock in my judgement either
So I suppose the main point is sayin that he really does want to actually talk to you, and that either way you choose, he is sincerely sorry for offense
He ain't really one to put on fronts or airs
Think it's also important to inform you that your words to him regardin Caesurae had an effect

palteringcecutiency
Well, this is a certainly a surprise, someone not whining at me about how I have to like someone because they've done a handful of reasonable things. It's quite refreshing, I must say.
Whether he is a good person or not does not affect his nose in the air attitude or his self centeredness, nor does it make me any more eager to deal with his bullshit for a conversational stranger.
His sincerity in his apology is noted, though I doubt he's bothered to listen to what the upset actually was, but that changes very little.
And /of course/ it has, it always does, but that doesn't mean anything will change, now does it? And it certainly doesn't say shit about your Ampora that he's been 'affected.'

jocularlyrefined
It ain't my job to make you like him
It ain't even really my job to make you believe me
What I do take on as my job, however, is bein a...
Translator, I guess, to get points across that keep bein missed for whatever reason, as well as generally givin advice for how communication can go smoothly in the future
Not that I'm always the best at communication myself
By 'affected' I meant appalled and pissed, there's definitely trust lost there, and now Caesurae is on thin ice
I'd say, personally, that that is a change, but I don't know if it's as drastic a change as you'd hope for

palteringcecutiency
I know quite well how to make things go /smoothly/, I do not need someone giving me lessons on how to behave. I talk how I choose, and I am not bending over backwards to be nice for a self important shitstain just because he had a lackey come frown at me.
I admit surprise at the loss of trust, that hardly ever happens, but thin ice means a second chance, and Ampora will silvertongue his way back into good graces soon enough, like he always does. So no, it's not, but it's hardly a surprise at this point, I don't know why I bother anymore.

jocularlyrefined
I don't know you, and I don't intend to give you lessons on how to behave
It'd be more likely to be the other way around
The most I'd ask of you is a second chance, but I for damn sure ain't his lackey, and he didn't tell me to come frown at you
I ain't even frownin, your upset is deserved
All I'm doin is talkin to you, tryin to figure out how to tell him how to do better

palteringcecutiency
Oh, yes, of course. My mistake, it's far more likely you came of your own free will to gather data on how to make him behave for a stranger instead of his requesting you to go patch things up for him. Silly me.
It's so interesting how often people try to insist they're 'just talking' when they are hardly doing so.

jocularlyrefined
That's what I like to do, yeah
I offered, I didn't come without his consent because that'd be rude and invasive, but it was my idea
Apologies if I've offended you, but I think you've misunderstood my intentions

palteringcecutiency
Oh no, your intentions are quite clear, you're here to fix things between him and I so he can go on his merry little way without someone disliking him, and you'd ever so like to do so by making me change. And don't try to deny it, this conversation would have gone vastly different if it was about him and not me.

jocularlyrefined
His ego ain't so fragile that one person disliking him is the end of the world
And it isn't any of my business how you do or don't change
But if you would like me to let you alone, I'd certainly be willing to do so

palteringcecutiency
That's cute, you thinking you bother me enough that I have to ask a favor from you to ease it. I'm quite fine, thank you, and you can do what you wish. There's just hardly a guarantee that you'll get what you want. c:

jocularlyrefined
It's not a favor, it's courtesy
And I've clearly offended you, for which I am terribly sorry

palteringcecutiency
Oh good, another apology to add to my ever growing collection of useless things. And why pull 'courtesy' out now, after everything else? What do you hope to garner with it?

jocularlyrefined
Courtesy is important to me

palteringcecutiency
Is it? That's certainly new to me, with the rest of this conversation.

jocularlyrefined
:o(

jocularlyrefined
Goodness fuck, I ain't even given a title, I have been neglectful
Juryrigg or Rigger by the by

jocularlyrefined
I've tried, but perhaps I've gotten a bit frustrated
If I can fix that some how, do let me know

palteringcecutiency
Oh yes, of course, I expect Executioner has fallen out of style since the flip, hasn't it. And I hardly see why I'd bother; as I've said, you're clearly not here for me.
