Sacrifices are a bitch.

Worth it, in the end. But they're tough.

Take care of yourself and I'll take a look at that board every once in a while.

Re: [Private] needshumility October 6 2011, 13:43:56 UTC

Except, in a sense, a lot of them aren't. In going home, I'm only sacrificing things I never had anyway. Except now I know it.

My sacrifice to the collective is part of taking it down.

[Private] most_feared October 6 2011, 14:15:43 UTC

Some collectives need that.

I'll stand by mine, but I've seen how it can get out of hand. And from the bad end, too, where I was a contributor. I wish you luck, Mr. Russet.

Re: [Private] needshumility October 6 2011, 14:27:28 UTC

It is much appreciated, Mist... ah. It is still appreciated.

Private thebestnose October 6 2011, 14:16:40 UTC

I'll be in my room most of the day. You can come any time.

Re: Private needshumility October 6 2011, 14:28:33 UTC

I'll be there soon.

[It was not a good day. But she had books. She had tea. And soon she would have Eddie. At least for a whole. And, above all, they had their paints. She knew why she was miserable, but it didn't help.

So she waited.]

Re: Spam needshumility October 6 2011, 15:13:22 UTC

[Eddie knocked on her door, juggling his travelling swatch, and the box of paints he'd got, whilst he did so. He had to show her, after all.]

Jane, it's me!

Oh! Congratulations Eddie!

[WHAT IS THIS SADNESS, DO NOT UNDERSTAND. HE HAS FULFILLED HIS DUTY, SHE KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN.]

... When are you leaving?

Re: Private needshumility October 6 2011, 14:37:28 UTC

Tomorrow morning, I think.

Private strangehstorian October 6 2011, 15:15:20 UTC

Oh.

...

...

Well, I'm very happy for you.

Re: Private needshumility October 6 2011, 15:15:58 UTC

Thank you.

Why... why did you hesitate?

Private mrs_persson October 6 2011, 16:37:41 UTC

Congratulations to you both, Eddie. And good luck.

Re: Private needshumility October 6 2011, 16:43:16 UTC

Thank you.

Seriously, actually, thank you. You gave me a lot of good advice on dealing with... people. It should be useful.

Re: Private mrs_persson October 6 2011, 17:51:33 UTC

You're welcome. I hope it is useful; you've got a hard path ahead of you, if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Private needshumility October 6 2011, 18:29:46 UTC

I... I never underestimated that.

And I'll admit I'm a little nervous.

What? You're leaving? [This is like a member of the Drone's Club going off and getting a job and becoming a productive member of society, never to be seen in the Club again. The height of tragedy.]

needshumility October 6 2011, 22:02:09 UTC

I am, Bertie. I've got business at home I can't leave for too long.

I have a nice red tie I can leave you, if you're interested.

helpmejeeves October 7 2011, 06:58:59 UTC

One must keep up with one's obligations, I suppose. I hope you find a fruity scheme for ridding yourself of your terrible fiancee without compromising your honour.

I would happily accept such a tie.

And I have a fine bottle of whisky here. Perhaps we can snatch up Georgie and all have one last drink together, what?

needshumility October 7 2011, 14:26:51 UTC

Any scheme of mine will be... incredibly fruity, I'm fairly sure. Perhaps even to pineapple level.

I'll bring it.

I'd like that.
