[Warded to Rafael]

Hey.

You awake?

If you're awake, I wanna talk to you about Youngblood. If you're not awake, I wanna talk to you about Youngblood tomorrow when you're awake. Entirely through the journals so he can't hear me talking to you about him.



[warded to Quinn]

You stopped giving Youngblood the cold shoulder by now right?

If the answer to that is yes, I have a follow up question that has nothing to do with that.



[warded to Levi Cecil]

Serious question. Say you're playing strip chess. Do you think watching your boyfriend give his room mate a naked hug and pep talk is a turn off.



[Warded to Tess]

Hey buddy.



[Warded to Rosy]

Hey.

Not all of us get a bombass sauna, okay, we make due with what we got. And your boyfriend had Robin distracted with Tess, but then the two of you pissed off Tess, accidentally, and she stormed off to Reece's popcorn communion.

Your boyfriend's not worried about not getting laid. He's worried about do you think that [...] display will linger beyond last night? Like if you see your boyfriend next, are you gonna be worried about his dick touching Robin during a very loving hug is all I'm asking about?

What? If this was last night, when do I point out that I wasn't even here? I couldn't have pissed off Tess, my journal was tucked away in my desk. [...] I forgot we were talking hypotheticals.

Are you sure she's unhappy because you gave Youngblood a hug au naturel? He walked in while she was "naked enough" and you were "naked as fuck;" sex was obviously on the table and she was undressed. Perhaps she didn't want to be seen in that state by anyone except you.

Learn to put a fucking sock on the doorknob.

Re: Chris/Quinn

[...]

First of all, putting a sock on the doorknob would be seen as a challenge, not a deterrent for Youngblood. Just a fun fact, in case you decide to fuck in this communal space of ours. It's a challenge.

Second of all

I didn't think of that.

[...]

I'm not sure if she's unhappy yet. I was more concerned about the lowkey turn off.

[...]

I realize that sounds bad.

Chris/Quinn

[quinning]

We just wait until you're all Oh, I would never dream of doing such a thing in your communal space!

It does. Have you spoken with her since? Does she know you thought it was because of the hug?

Chris/Quinn

[bambae]

Yeah, you're probably fucking lying. I'm just saying, don't put a sock on the doorknob.

I'm speaking to her right now. But how do I ask her if she feels weird about Youngblood seeing her naked or if she feels weird about me hugging Youngblood naked? How do you approach that topic of discussion?

Actually, how do I ask her if she feels weird at all?

Chris/Quinn

[quinning]

[...] Don't ask her about any of it, not yet. If she is feeling uncomfortable, asking her specific questions will only encourage her to feel defensive or clam up. Ask how she's doing in general, and apologize that she was put in a situation where someone saw her undressed when she didn't agree to it. Acknowledge that she may be a little uncool with risking Strip Chess again, or with going to your cabin for a little while. Don't make it about you by bringing up the hug, make it about being concerned how you want to make sure she's doing alright for now. Hell, don't mention the hug at all.

Then again, I could be totally wrong.

Re: Chris/Quinn

[bambae]

Okay, good

that's good advice. I should ward you at midnight more, dude, you're like really good at this shit.

Chris/Quinn

[quinning]

I know. And it's eleven, midnight is my cutoff time for Spontaneous Counselling Hours.

Re: Chris/Quinn

[bambae]

Don't lie. If I warded you at midnight with a legitimate problem, you'd make an exception.

Honeybee gave me similar advice tho, so I apologized.

Chris/Quinn

[quinning]

I would.

[...] Why the hell did you ask Honeychurch for help with this?

Re: Chris/Quinn

[bambae]

Because Honeybee's dating somebody that would do the same shit plus he has the same comfort levels as Rosy. And he gives like really good advice. Plus he keeps secrets like the dead.
