Re: Action

[dadbeatdad]

"I honestly don't know but I would think not in the way you might be thinking. I don't think they would blame themselves. I don't think they would turn it on themselves. Would they feel sympathy for you, their friend, who is hurting? Yes. I know they would. Because they are kind caring people with big hearts. And they have been hurt too so they ache when someone they care about hurts too," Lucifer said with confidence.

"I think that is a good idea. That way, at least, someone who understands the treatment is aware. ...And I was unaware people had to kill you before due to something like that. I understand wanting to shield others from that burden. You don't shield yourself from it. Perhaps because you know the pain of it all to well, especially right now?"

We have to menace Macaque.

[Wukong hugs him back, lifting him off the floor a little. Completely on purpose because he can.]

So...yeah. I was thinking about it recently annnd...I decided I need to know if Macaque ever trusted that everything I had been doing was for us. Our future together. I...need to know.

Re: Voice > Action

[dadbeatdad]

[Lucifer sighs as he's lifted and rolls his eyes. His face becomes softer as he listens.]

I think it will be a hard discussion but one I think is a good idea to have.

Re: Voice > Action

[retirementsnotsopeachy]

[Setting him down, Wukong nods and rubs the back of his neck.]

I'm not gonna go into detail, but it still kind of feels like every talk is a hard one. But since you two are an item, I'm not going to do anything that'll put you in the middle. That's why I didn't want any practice.

Besides, I think this is something I just do from the heart.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

I'm all ears.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[schrodingerscockroach]

We feels nervous with us together and him. So we need to be all three together and just bury him in affirmations.

Re: Voice > Action

[dadbeatdad]

[Lucifer nods. He smiles at Wukong.]

That's very fair. I believe in you. Just speak from the heart and keep it simple. You can do this.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

I like this idea but will he? I don't want to make him more uncomfortable with the idea by springing it on him.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[schrodingerscockroach]

We can talk him into it. I'm pretty good at judging when the push is too far and sometimes he needs that little nudge out of his comfort zone.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

Then I will follow your lead. I'm not the best at that. I fear I push too far when I try.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[schrodingerscockroach]

It'll be okay. If we push too far, we apologize and talk about it to figure out what went wrong. A lot of missteps can be solved by talking about it after.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

True. That makes sense. I suppose I'm nervous about pushing right now. Him or you, honestly.

I am still very much in favor of menacing Macaque.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[schrodingerscockroach]

Something happen for it to be bad right now?

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

I feel as though I overstepped or misspoke when you two were comforting me. I suppose I'm trying to tread more carefully right now.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[schrodingerscockroach]

One, ask Macaque if you did.

Two, keep in mind Mac was also very worried if he was handling things right because actually understanding mental health is new to him. I'm pretty sure he thinks he doesn't have bad brain days, even though he's definitely had them.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

I plan to ask him.

I suppose I was trying to be coy about it. Did I say or assume anything that made you uncomfortable?

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[schrodingerscockroach]

Oh.

Yeah, I didn't catch that.

No, not really? I mean, I had times where I felt like I was intruding on something intimate between you and Macaque, but it wasn't a 'I feel bad' uncomfortable as a 'I definitely do not belong here in this moment and I have no way to leave without ruining it' uncomfortable. Like when you see a couple reuniting after a while and they are kissing just a little too long sort of thing. Its not bad feelings, just what do you do then.

It was helping you, so I just did my best to not be intrusive.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[dadbeatdad]

Oh.

Okay something kinda funny? I think it's funny? I chuckled a little.

I felt the same way when you two were bickering and so in sync at some of the points. I felt the awkwardness. I also feel like my attempts at jokes just fell as flat as I felt.

Thank you for helping me. You did help.

Re: text (I never got this notif.)

[schrodingerscockroach]

I think part of it was Mac was worried about you and trying real hard to not spiral at not knowing what to do. The disadvantage of a guy whose pretty good at a lot of things is it really sucks when you feel like you're floundering. But helping you was more important and I'm pretty sure he was doing plenty to help, right?

Also you were Depressed. It is a special breed of person who can be Depressed and funny, so don't be so hard on yourself.

You were pulling out of it, recovering. That's all we wanted for you.

[roundandaround]

[Rinku sends her Yuletide gift: a seashell and... herb-growing kit?]

Re: gift

[dadbeatdad]

[How positively random and cute. In return, Rinku gets a little idol duck. It has headphones, a cute white and pink dress and tutu, and when squeezed plays music.]

delivery

[abnormalizes]

[It's an 'easily excited by rubber ducks' shirt! Lucy's an easy one to shop for.]

Re: delivery

[dadbeatdad]

[Lucifer LOVES it. In exchange, he gives Evangeline her own secondary rubber duck. It's part of a fair. This one looks like her with long dark hair and glasses. She can squeeze it and it will help lead her toward another duck he's made for Rinku.]

Re: delivery

[abnormalizes]

[Sister-finding duck...! She's touched, and she'll be glad to have it if something happens to Rinku. (Hopefully nothing happens to Rinku.)]
