so everyone's cool with the squid thing
like everyone just collectively agreed that was okay
and went with it
that's a thing people just live with in this crappy city

I've always thought people were weirdly okay with it.

[Although for Michael, this is really just a post full of weird microaggressions that he's joining in on so no one knows he's just been a squid the entire time!]

[venatoris]

really? i'm the odd one out?

[eudaimonikos]

Looking at all of this, apparently not.

[yeah that's more what he expects. still feels bad though?]

Maybe people just didn't want to be vocal about it before.

[venatoris]

[ snort ]

may be. if i gave people a chance to vent their frustrations, I guess that's okay by me

[eudaimonikos]

Sure, I guess that's fair enough.

[venatoris]

walking talking therapist, that's me

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, good. We REALLY need one of those around here.

[He knows it's a joke, he's just running with it]

[venatoris]

im probably the best there is, so there's that

[ KEEP RUNNINGGGG ]

[eudaimonikos]

Good! I know a lot of people who need that, I'll send them your way.

[venatoris]

tell 'em to bring liquor, cause that's how we therapy in this house

[eudaimonikos]

Now I'm obviously not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that's bad.

[venatoris]

it's a coping mechanism

[eudaimonikos]

A lot of things are.

[Are they still joking? Michael's not entirely sure anymore.]

You good, dude?

[venatoris]

Oh, hell yeah. I'm fantastic.

[eudaimonikos]

Okay.

[Press X to doubt!]

Well, hey, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

[venatoris]

Uh, thanks, man.

What's your name?

[eudaimonikos]

Michael! I'm Michael!

[venatoris]

Michael, gotcha. Nice to meet you, man. I'm Dean.

[eudaimonikos]

[...............]



Oh, wait, Dean from Rocky Horror?
Have we just never talked on this thing?

[venatoris]

What?

Rocky Horror, like the movie?

[eudaimonikos]

No, like the play.
Which I think is an adaptation of the movie, so. Actually, yes.

Some of us just did a production down at the Raccoon Room pretty recently.
I was Dr. Scott!

[Hm. Must just be a different Dean after all? It happens, there's a billion people with the same name.]

[venatoris]

Oh, okay.

[ that clears up...little. But. Hm. ]

Maybe it was me. I was apparently here before, or something.

[eudaimonikos]

...huh.

[Just give him a second to digest that.]

I've heard about things like that happening around here, but I've never actually run into it before.
Weird.

You play guitar?
I think he said his last name was Winchester? Like the gun?

[venatoris]

Yeah, guitar, yeah, Winchester. That's me.

[eudaimonikos]

Huh! That is SO weird.

Well, don't worry about it, man.
I didn't know the other guy that well - we'd really only just met working on the show.
So this isn't one of those "oh, you and I are really close but you've completely forgotten about it" situations.
I've been through those before back home, that always sucks.
