You can't help, I'm not asking for help, and you're-

[Just a kid, he doesn't say, because he's not dumb and nobody wants to hear that. He just sighs instead and tries to bring a bit of calm back into his voice.]

And I mean what I said. Figure it out yourself.

[Davesprite sighs.]

Alright, I'll fuck off. Good luck with your own problems.

[Probably for the better he doesn't make it worse. He's got an out here; he might as well take it while he has it.]

[blueteamproblems]

Sorry, I didn't mean it like.

[God, trying to not be an asshole sucks.]

It's just- I don't wanna talk about that. Not about any of this, but that part's- it's really shitty and I'm worried it'd make people hate me.

[It especially sucks when you can't stop talking about your fears. Goddammit.]

[mrcreamsicles]

Yeah, no, I get it. I do. I don't want to be talking about this stuff either, but my damn mouth won't shut. It's like I've grown myself a whole new leg and stuffed a boot on the foot just to grind my own principal of keeping this shit on lockdown into the dirt.

I can't say I'm comfortable about you living in somebody else's body, but—I don't want to force you to talk about it all if you don't want. If you can keep yourself from it.

[blueteamproblems]

Well, it's not like I'm comfortable either. I didn't ask to be put in here.

But, yeah, still don't wanna talk about it. So I'm just gonna go and- I don't know, try to keep my mouth shut.

[mrcreamsicles]

Alright. I won't ask.

[No bitterness or judgment. It does help to know it wasn't his decision, though.]

I'll talk to you later, Church. Sometime when this shit is over.

[blueteamproblems]

Thanks.

And... good luck with your own problems. Let me know if there's any way I can help.

[mrcreamsicles]

Honestly? I've got no clue if you can. I don't want to think too hard on what that means, either.

I'm going to hang up.
