ASHEPHERD: 002

So much discussion of the kissing booth. I wanted to know who actually signed up to participate. Also, maybe I am overthinking this, but if you did, perhaps you should list your preferences for who kisses you? For example, if you don't like men, it might be nice to know. We don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Or I am being weird. Both valid viewpoints.

But I am mainly curious who said yes to being at the kissing booth.

ic.

[iyla]

ic.

[witlessbay]

i just mean maybe intentions arent everything

ic.

[iyla]

they’re not, but […] i hope she gives you a chance.

ic.

[witlessbay]

thanks. you good?

ic.

[iyla]

[…] you don’t need to worry about me.

ic.

[witlessbay]

honestly, id rather

ic.

[iyla]

it’s hard not to think about whether there will be a time when i do have to confront my […] situation. […] half the time i feel like it shouldn’t feel complicated at all.

but the rest of the time it does regardless.

ic.

[witlessbay]

its always complicated. even if it feels simple

ic.

[iyla]

helpful.

ic.

[witlessbay]

sorry. but you should let go of looking for an easy answer

ic.

[iyla]

i know there’s no easy answer. […] but the world may end before it’s ever relevant again.

ic.

[witlessbay]

i cant think that or why would we be here

ic.

[iyla]

[…] i don’t really think it. i think we’re very good at surviving. as a species, that is.

but anything could happen between now and then, i suppose, is what i really mean.

ic.

[witlessbay]

do you ever check on him?

ic.

[iyla]

no, but […] i could probably tell you everything he does in a day without checking in, so i’m not sure there would be any point.

if something happened to him, i know someone who would tell me. someone i do think checks in on him.

ic.

[witlessbay]

thats a lot of wondering. as someone who has been there

ic.

[iyla]

it’s better to keep a distance.

ic.

[witlessbay]

for you or him?

ic.

[iyla]

for me. he’s programmed not to feel bad about anything, caledon.

ic.

[witlessbay]

he'd still remember. after

ic.

[iyla]

remember what? it’s not as though there would be anything for him to remember if i did check that he’s still alive and “well”.

ic.

[witlessbay]

that you checked on him? ren knows i didnt
