(6:43:36 PM) amaranthineSwell: Fuck if I know.
(6:43:41 PM) selkieWife is now known as thallassianMalnoia
(6:45:40 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I...had a talk with Snaplock a while ago.  She's developing a dependency on that berserker stuff she's been slamming and losing her shit. I...haven't seen her online lately. She and I'll talk more when I can. I hope she doesn't have to hit rock bottom before she starts accepting other viewpoints and worldviews besides her own.
(6:46:23 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Okay. Brahim or 'Cho?
(6:47:21 PM) amaranthineSwell: My trouble with Brahim leads into my problems with Cho.
(6:47:52 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You and he've....it hasn't really been good for a while.
(6:48:03 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Has it?
(6:48:34 PM) amaranthineSwell: No.  It hasn't.
(6:48:47 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Not since before your death.
(6:49:11 PM) amaranthineSwell: Not since before I croaked.
(6:50:07 PM) amaranthineSwell: It's exhausting and rocky and I just don't /feel/ it anymore.
(6:50:25 PM) amaranthineSwell: I don't know if I want to have to keep cleaning up his messes for him, because everyone fucking expects me to.
(6:50:52 PM) amaranthineSwell: "Oh, Brahim offended me, you talk to him about it!"
(6:51:16 PM) amaranthineSwell: Which would be /fine/ if I didn't feel like it kept /happening/ and we weren't already bickering a lot /anyway/.
(6:53:14 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [You take a moment to mentally compare Brahim and Ockzel, even at their best, to Skye and Harris.]
(6:53:53 PM) ventricularPipefitter: ...so that needs to not be a thing. It's not helping either of you and trying to force it into that expectation, well.
(6:54:16 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Loving somebody and being good for them are two different things.
(6:54:22 PM) amaranthineSwell: Yeah, and if I end it, I'm going to have people up in my grill for abandoning him when he's having a hard time.
(6:54:31 PM) amaranthineSwell: Or because it's not convenient.
(6:54:34 PM) amaranthineSwell: Or some other fucking thing.
(6:55:36 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Uh. If you're not pale for him.
(6:55:46 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You shouldn't be in a farce of a relationship.
(6:56:39 PM) amaranthineSwell: I wish it was that simple.
(6:57:47 PM) amaranthineSwell: Do you /honestly/ think I'm not going to have people snarling at me for it?
(6:58:07 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I don't see anyone on Abel's case for dropping Snaplock.
(6:58:46 PM) amaranthineSwell: Yeah, because Snaplock makes him /sick/, there's a fucking /difference/, Ross.
(7:00:12 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Do you think how you feel about Brahim is going to /change/?
(7:00:35 PM) amaranthineSwell: ... probably not.
(7:01:28 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Do you think he's going to change?
(7:02:59 PM) ventricularPipefitter: So you're unhappy now but you think you'll be more unhappy if you leave. Okay then.
(7:03:17 PM) amaranthineSwell: No, I'll feel /better/ if I leave, but--
(7:06:00 PM) amaranthineSwell: Nrgh.
(7:06:31 PM) ventricularPipefitter: So. 'Cho.
(7:08:16 PM) amaranthineSwell: Wanted to talk to me about Heries.
(7:08:26 PM) amaranthineSwell: About how she felt about Heries.
(7:08:37 PM) amaranthineSwell: Only because you weren't around, mind.
(7:14:04 PM) tenaciousTheseus left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(7:20:47 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Only because?
(7:21:17 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Surely not because you're important to her.
(7:23:32 PM) amaranthineSwell: And I quote, "...need someone to talk to and Ross isn't answering."
(7:25:58 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I...get the impression you and she have been talking more than she and I have.
(7:29:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Actually.
