the girls are FIGHTINGGG part 3 electric thingaling

sanesspsuede
Vriska, are you still currently online?

amicicidalgambler
Yeah, I am.
What's up?

sanesspsuede
Nothing pleasant.

sanesspsuede
You recall the matter of your engagement with Meenah, of course.
I would not bring it up save that my pitch HAS started badgering me with some measure of insistence, against all odds.

amicicidalgambler
Wow! Not what I needed tonight!

sanesspsuede
Because you were finally getting back to having a good night?

amicicidalgambler
8ingo.
Give me what he's sent you so far.

sanesspsuede
How does that affect your decision?

amicicidalgambler
8y giving me literally any context?

sanesspsuede
We were talking in person when he started badgering me over the way I phrased something, so I don't actually have anything to send you...

amicicidalgambler
Wouldn't you have told me that in the first place?

sanesspsuede
What?
Why would I open with that?
I haven't told him, I told him to wait and that I couldn't talk about it without express permission.

amicicidalgambler
No, I mean wouldn't you tell me it was in person right after I asked for the logs.

sanesspsuede
Telling you no when it's something so serious makes me nervous...

amicicidalgambler
Unfortun8.
So are you going to give me the log or not.

sanesspsuede
:T
I get that you want to know what was said, I'll tell you as close to verbatim as possible, but I can't provide logs that don't exist.

amicicidalgambler
I'm not exactly convinced that they don't exist.
8ut if you're going to stick with that then yeah, just tell me to the 8est of your memory.

sanesspsuede
I saw a post on the dash and made an off-hand comment to myself about how your formulaic approach to things leaves you with easily recognizable patterns once someone has an in to observe them with, and he asked more into it. I fumbled and backtracked, told him I couldn't really talk about it, and he made the connection that it had to do with your thing with Meenah, because that's the only thing I've insistently been unable to discuss with him.

I said I needed to have permission to talk about it, same as before, because I'd like, ruin some important stuff otherwise, and he started hounding me with "it's romance isn't it?" and that kind of garbage.

I've got him distracted right now, but it's sure to come back. :T

amicicidalgambler
Gotcha.

sanesspsuede
And?

amicicidalgambler
No, you can't tell him.
You also, for the record, can't tell him that I'm the one denying you. 8ecause you know how he is.

sanesspsuede
I see.
Why not?

amicicidalgambler
8ecause I said so.

sanesspsuede
Because you're angry?

amicicidalgambler
No. 8ecause it was your fuck up, so that's your pro8lem now.

sanesspsuede
Of COURSE it's my fuckup, I informed you from the start that keeping secrets from my pitch is not something I do. Is this your idea of some sort of punishment? It doesn't seem particularly well-evaluated.

amicicidalgambler
It's not punishment.
It's just not my pro8lem.

sanesspsuede
How is this not your problem?

amicicidalgambler
Again, your fuck up.

sanesspsuede
Either you are lashing out because you are mad or this was another ploy from the start. I understand your dislike, but I thought we were supposed to be working together on this.

amicicidalgambler
Funny that you'd say that.
8ut no, I'm not lashing out, and it's not a ploy.
I asked for context, I got context, and I'm making a thought out decision.

sanesspsuede
What exactly of my saying that is humorous?

amicicidalgambler
The part where I'm pretty sure you've 8een lying to me a8out what happened and where I'm pretty sure that you're only so persistent a8out this 8ecause you don't like my answer.
Not exactly team-player 8ehavior, Saness.

sanesspsuede
I am perfectly willing to accept that your answer is final now that you have put to rest the idea that it is a hurried decision made from a place of heated emotion, though yes, I do dislike it.

amicicidalgambler
Anything to say a8out the lying thing or are you just going to let that one sit.

sanesspsuede
Lying tends to make me sick, but you are a paranoid and stubborn person. I wouldn't even begin to know how to clear my name with you.

amicicidalgambler
I really don't think I'm 8eing that paranoid, all things considered.
I've gotten a 8it familiar with the kind of person you are, after all.
8ut I won't push it. We've 8oth gotten our answers.

sanesspsuede
"The kind of person" I am, now who is being humorously inclined?

amicicidalgambler
