#debts, part 2

(10:55:47 PM) lunarLungfish: ((Where were we?))
(10:57:10 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (8:57:08 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Personally? I feel my cloverleaf deserves at least the aforementioned three favors with his huge apology.
(10:57:10 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (8:57:15 PM) ventricularPipefitter: He's damn touchy, you know.
(10:57:10 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (8:57:29 PM) stanzicApparati: He is, yeah.
(11:00:12 PM) lunarLungfish: What, he can just ask anything?
(11:01:03 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Are you saying he's not worth at least a plate of apology cookies?
(11:01:14 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You just slurred him to my face.
(11:02:57 PM) ventricularPipefitter: If you agreed to owe favors to Maria, why not to Amaswe?
(11:03:30 PM) lunarLungfish: I... can make apology cookies
(11:03:31 PM) lunarLungfish: I guess
(11:03:46 PM) lunarLungfish: I didn't slur him on purpose! I didn't know what to call him
(11:04:07 PM) lunarLungfish: and I kinda got a blank when I tried to think of his tag and then I maybe panicked a little
(11:06:37 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You were talking to me. You could have used 'your auspistee,' for starters.
(11:07:11 PM) lunarLungfish: I wasn't thinking about that!
(11:07:38 PM) lunarLungfish:  /You/ try thinking of someone's tag and panicking and then thinking "Well, what else do I know about this person that I can use to describe them" and NOT come up with that thing!
(11:09:33 PM) unseeingAugur [[email protected]] entered the room.
(11:10:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Hm. I hope you roll my Native sometime. You'd find it educational.
(11:10:37 PM) ventricularPipefitter: But, setting that aside. So. You owe him an apology. A HUGE one, as you said, earlier.
(11:10:57 PM) lunarLungfish: Yeah, I do...
(11:11:08 PM) ventricularPipefitter: More importantly for the fanfic than what happened just now.
(11:11:08 PM) lunarLungfish: He will get a big apology from me!
(11:11:19 PM) lunarLungfish: I didn't know it would be a bad thing. =C
(11:11:28 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Well, live and learn.
(11:11:36 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Ignorance isn't an excuse for hurting people.
(11:12:38 PM) ventricularPipefitter: So what about the favors?
(11:14:14 PM) lunarLungfish: I'm... iffy about that.
(11:14:24 PM) lunarLungfish: It just doesn't sit right with me.
(11:14:30 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Why not?
(11:14:43 PM) lunarLungfish: Because what if he wants stuff I don't want to do?
(11:14:50 PM) lunarLungfish: And three favors? For one fic?
(11:15:04 PM) lunarLungfish: I think one would be reasonable. It's like one batch of apology cookies.
(11:16:11 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Hrnnn. I'm not sure. Isn't the point of a favor that you don't know what it could be, but you're wiling to do it anyways/
(11:16:21 PM) lunarLungfish: No!
(11:16:54 PM) lunarLungfish: The point of a favor is that you're willing to help someone else out in return for their help later!
(11:17:11 PM) lunarLungfish: Favors help people do things they couldn't do on their own when you ask them from other people.
(11:17:44 PM) lunarLungfish: But like
(11:17:48 PM) lunarLungfish: it's equal value for equal value
(11:18:04 PM) lunarLungfish: "you did one thing for me, so I'll do one thing for you of about equal value"
(11:18:06 PM) lunarLungfish: one thing for one thing
(11:18:07 PM) lunarLungfish: that's a thing
(11:18:12 PM) lunarLungfish: but "three favors"?
(11:18:32 PM) lunarLungfish: what, is each one a third of the value of forgiving me for the fanfic?
(11:19:25 PM) lunarLungfish: Is that how it works?
(11:19:40 PM) lunarLungfish: I mean, "one thing, one favor"
(11:19:43 PM) lunarLungfish: that makes sense, right?
(11:20:14 PM) ventricularPipefitter: So that's two favors, then? One for the story, and one for the insult?
(11:20:22 PM) lunarLungfish: It can be a bigger favor or a smaller favor depending on what it's a favor for doing in the first place.
