The ticking grows pervasive and tiresome. However, it is not lost on me that it dissipates and perhaps disappears during conversation. A warning, perhaps, that our time here is not meant to be spent idly

Company, not conversation; talking through this will just distract you but the ticking is still there.

[to_turn_away]

Yes, I have noticed the variations. It is a ridiculously obvious method of driving home a point, yet not beyond tyrants.

[reginagloriae]

You could get a pet if you don't like people.

[to_turn_away]

It is not so much disliking people as having people that I trust.

[iseedeaddads]

Yeah I noticed that too, where the hell is it coming from?

[to_turn_away]

Have you perused the guide?

[iseedeaddads]

...depends, by perused do you mean skim?

[to_turn_away]

if skimming is enough for it to grab your attention with crucial details.

Have you returned to your senses?

[revengeisalie]

Yes, I have.

Good. If you were half as intolerable on a regular basis, I would have dismissed you quickly.

Having friends around helps! You should find somebody to live with.

[to_turn_away]

I would not choose my company so lightly.

[ann_withane]

There's nothing light about finding a roommate! It's a very serious endeavor, I understand. But if you never seek, you'll never find.

Although my roommates found me, so that might not be the case. Maybe you'll get lucky!

[to_turn_away]

I would rather be with people I trust.

Being around other people quiets the ticking. Animals will help, but only to a point.

[to_turn_away]

Tiresome.

[crossshapedscar]

Sou ka...

[to_turn_away]

And who are you?
