TEXT - un; apparition (CW: cuts used as part of a lyric)

So, I'm curious. I'm from the 31st century, so I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of music. What are some good songs and bands? I love Cuts You Up by Peter Murphy and Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division personally, but I'm willing to listen to just about anything. Except for music for the Terran father god. Yuck. Thanks! ❤

This is. And don't say I didn't warn you. That song has a tendency to stick itself in a person's mind for months.

[ After SEVERAL long minutes: ]

i don't even know
how to cope with what i just watched

My recommendation would be Johnny Walker Blue Label.

honestly i don't even need the excuse to drink whiskey

Honestly, neither do I. But it's damn good at getting rid of unwanted earworms.

damn good at getting rid of a lot of things
drink hard enough and you're liable to forget a lot more than one song

While I was in the other world, I built up my alcohol tolerance like crazy. It was either that or accept that all of the awful things which were happening really were happening to me.

that's how it goes
alcohol is always easier than acceptance

Yeah. I wish we had an actual psychiatrist here. A therapist. Someone who could be talked to and have them give an objective opinion.

you think people would actually go to them?
not sure we're such a forthcoming bunch

Maybe? I know that as a Night Walker, I'm supposed to fill in for one. And people do go to me and ask for help. But I know I'm not the same as a trained professional.

comfort is different than therapy
comfort is easy
therapy is work
you have to want to get better for that shit

Then, I'm not sure which role my teammates back home fell into. Almost all of them seemed to look at me as some kind of free counselor. It got exhausting to listen to all of their problems, figure out what they wanted, and do or say that.

that's a tough role to play
people take that shit for granted
hope you're at least getting paid for your services now

They do. And for personal reasons, I'm not as willing to problem-solve for everyone else back home, I have problems of my own. I am, in trade goods. I'm saving up for a lace shawl I saw the other day.

good
you should treat yourself
emotional labor isn't easy work

It's not. Especially when I'm expected to act cheerful all the time. But the lace shawl would make me smile.
