Dude, I'm not some kind of moron. I'm just - if you can't talk about it, this is all I have to help you with. As I am right now, anyway.

[ If only she could stuff some Hyperion tech in his ear and help that way. ALAS. ]

You said so yourself that you'd have to start thinking about it someday. And this place has a way of confronting you with your own issues, right? So I'm concerned. That's all.

[blueteamproblems]

Well, maybe you shouldn't be trying to help. I sure didn't ask you to.

[Is he being a huge stubborn baby? WHY YES HE IS WHAT ELSE IS NEW]

[phaseshifter]

Eat it, Church, it's what friends do. Pissbaby.

[ SHE WENT THERE

UNCENSORED CONTENT HERE FOLKS ]

[blueteamproblems]

No, fuck you. It's what you do. You don't see me getting all up in your issues, do you?

[phaseshifter]

Dude. If I was getting all up in your issues, I'd be a lot more insistent about it. This is nudging at the edges of your whole deal.

[blueteamproblems]

Well, you still shouldn't be doing it. My deal doesn't need to be nudged.

[phaseshifter]

Okay. Let me just turn off my concern, it'll only take a second. Do you have a coathanger and a map of the human brain?

[blueteamproblems]

...What?

[phaseshifter]

I was suggesting that in order to keep me from worrying about you, I'd have to rearrange my brain by shoving wire through my skull and swirling around the brain matter within.

[ u no, normal stuff ]

[blueteamproblems]

That's. Kind of dark.

[phaseshifter]

Yes. Less distressing than the thought of doing it via control collar, though.

[blueteamproblems]

I dunno, I think any kind of mindfuckery is distressing regardless of how you do it.

[church you regularly possess people with no regrets]

[phaseshifter]

I don't doubt it. I'm just avoiding getting all up in my own issues.

[ SELF AWARENESS, HO ]

[blueteamproblems]

Wow, so you're not jumping at the opportunity to talk about them to people? Shocking.

[phaseshifter]

I'm not hiding from them either, geez. We could trade traumas! Like a terrible version of trading those... umm, those little round discs people had in the old days? I forget what they called them, but they looked pretty freaking dumb.

[ TRAUMA POGS

IT'S THE NEXT BIG THING, MARK MY WORDS ]

[blueteamproblems]

Sure, sounds like a fucking amazing idea. Instead of just feeling shitty about your own traumas you get to share someone else's. Awesome.

[phaseshifter]

I have a foil-stamped one with "dad issues" on it. Tell me that wouldn't look neat in your collector's album.

[blueteamproblems]

You're assuming I don't already have that one.

I mean, I don't, since I don't have a dad. But I totally could. It's not like you'd know.

[phaseshifter]

You're forgetting how shamefully bad you are at lying. All I'd have to do would be ask.

[blueteamproblems]

...I could just not answer.

[phaseshifter]

Yes, but then I'd call you a pissbaby again. I probably will anyway. It suits you.

[blueteamproblems]

Wow. Wowowowowowowow.

Wow.

[phaseshifter]

You're not denying it, I see.

[blueteamproblems]

YEAH WELL I see you're not denying that you're a shitty little cockbite, either!

[phaseshifter]

SHHHHH!

[ JACK WILL HEAR. SECRET DUMPY JACK. WHO IS A SECRET. ]

Do you want everyone to know?
