Asking for a friend: say you were killed for the wrong reasons, what would you do? What would be your way of coping?

Private Forever

[loyalrebel]

If your friend wants a drinking partner I am also available for such.

Talking has been known to help some people, it depends on the sort of resolution they seek to the situation.

[retributes]

Did that help you?

[loyalrebel]

I am a poor example of healthy ways to deal with such things.

When there was someone to listen, it did though.

[retributes]

Apparently you aren’t the only one with unhealthy ways to deal. And it’s not such a bad thing really.

[loyalrebel]

When you are conditioned to not form emotional responses or attachmemts to people it makes it difficult to actually do anything with them when they happen.

It takes time to deal with anything new, but as I once said to Altair...

Sharing both victories and defeats beings strength to both people involved, no matter how painful it might be at the time.

[retributes]

And what would you call the sex? A victory?

[loyalrebel]

That depends entirely on how many hickeys are involved when the bruises settle in.

[retributes]

[ She SNORTS. ]

Okay. I wasn't able to see them ALL and I didn't ask because it wasn't my business, but I did see five?

[loyalrebel]

Given or recieved?

[retributes]

Received?

[loyalrebel]

Depends on location then.

Some hickeys are an indicator of consquest after all, while others are the hallmarks of being the conquored.

Mind you, if the intent was to be conquored then it is still their victory in the end.

[retributes]

I’d say it was a win-win either way.

[loyalrebel]

If your friend would appreciate the advice and has such a preference for it, I suggest going for the hipbones.

Then again I like leaving a memorable if easily concealed impression.

[retributes]

Hipbones. Good spot. I’ll pass it on. Not that they’ll appreciate me discussing some part of their sex life, I’m sure.

As for myself, I could do both ways.

[loyalrebel]

You can use it yourself too.

If you ever have need for a partner, I might be willing to consider. Though not at this exact moment.

I do generally provide a meal afterwards though.

[ She’d seen the username attached to the initial message. She knew who she was speaking with. Lucy had no doubt either that Desmond could see any of the conversations she was having (that weren’t privated); he wasn’t stupid, she knew that, but she doesn’t blame him for not responding. They haven’t really spoken in two weeks. Why would she expect him to speak up now? Plus this topic revolves around them, names not mentioned. ]

I’m glad you added in the ‘not at this exact moment’. Things aren’t so great either on my end.

[loyalrebel]

Things will change. I cannot promise they will get better, this place is likely to be interesting like that, but they will not stay as they are unless you force them to do so.

[retributes]

Not everything will get better immediately, I know. I’ll take it one day at a time because that’s all I can do.
