Hello.

I was told the best way to get the answers to difficult questions is to ask, then listen carefully to the answers that people give you.

Why do some men have an aversion to shaving?

Are they afraid?

Do you want to die?

[PRIVATE AS SHIT OH MY GOD]

[inconstantly]

[the real answer to that question is just as raw as it is complicated]

why are you asking these things over the network when i just saw you

[thoughtimight]

You wouldn't do something simple that would help you. I don't understand. The only thing I can think of is that you don't care enough to save yourself.

I don't want to die. I don't want the people that I know to die.

You're part of something. That means the choices you make don't just affect you.

[How did she put that together so quickly? John wouldn't have put it in quite that way. In fact, he hadn't connected his recent actions with his overall pattern. But it was true. He placed very little value in his own life and often didn't think of any others connected with it. In John's mind the self destructive habits were just that, habits, repeated actions that would eventually drag him down. But that was for himself alone.]

most days i do want to die

i hope that satisfies your fucking curiosity

[And yet he couldn't. Not until the job was done.]

[thoughtimight]

It doesn't.

I don't want you to die.

[inconstantly]

being curious doesn't mean you're entitled to get what you want

[oh irony]

[thoughtimight]

I disagree.

It's a way to find out how to get what you want.

You're implying that I shouldn't be concerned about you dying.

[inconstantly]

i'm saying that you're digging too far into personal business

[thoughtimight]

And you're acting selfishly if you think you wouldn't be missed..

[inconstantly]

and you're acting selfishly for making my life all about you

[thoughtimight]

There's plenty more for me to give mind to.

I still feel sorry for you.

holy shit that icon

[inconstantly]

you knowingly open a wound as personal as someone wanting to die

and have the fucking nerve to act morally superior

my hat's off to you sunshine

[thoughtimight]

I have my answer.

[inconstantly]

and are ready to discard someone as soon as you have what you want

brilliant

[thoughtimight]

I don't understand what you want.

[inconstantly]

not bludgeoning me over the head until my nerves are raw would be a nice start

[thoughtimight]

I'd suggest addressing those thoughts yourself before you jeopardize anyone else's well-being.

[inconstantly]

i haven't even acted on anything yet

but you want me to shave

fine

i'll bloody shave

not a goddamn whisker or patch of scruff in sight

i'll be sure to come to you so you can inspect it first before my sorry face makes an appearance and kills everybody

only after earning your approval will i deign to do anything my queen

[thoughtimight]

That's a sorry way of asking for help.

But I'm still offering.

[inconstantly]

i can shave on my own

[thoughtimight]

Thank you.

[inconstantly]

[he follows through with the shaving but doesn't reply]
