I just got here.
What are the things you all hate that I should avoid doing.

[...] In the interest of assimilating quickly, not reverse-hazing, which would be extremely bold.

"I do hope you're not trying to fuck me" is too crass for me, Jaxson, and presumes far too much.

[jaxsons]

Oh, was me sitting in your lap the other night not obvious enough? Sounds like a you problem, champ.

[loculus]

Jaxson.

[jaxsons]

Domingo.

[loculus]

Jaxson.

jax.
Every year I leave and I think "No, there's no universe in which these men can become even hornier in my absence." And every year I return and am proven a fool.

St Flores

[jaxsons]

I solemnly swear I am not seriously coming onto you, Dom.

St Flores

[loculus]

It's difficult to tell; I feel like I could have had daily encounters already if I'd said "Yes" every time one of you asked if I was volunteering for a secret mission.

St Flores

[jaxsons]

We're basic creatures? Cabin fever? We're sad and using flirting to cover up the sadness?

St Flores

[loculus]

Is that all?

St Flores

[jaxsons]

Dom, you're a handsome guy. I'm not here trying to get into your pants. They wouldn't fit.

St Flores

[loculus]

Like I said, it did seem like I'd be presuming too much. There's also no subtlety on this ship.

St Flores

[jaxsons]

Maybe I'm the one who's sad and using flirting to cover up the sadness. We'll never know.

St Flores

[loculus]

Jaxson, I know you're sad: it's January. It's always January. How are you?

St Flores

[jaxsons]

[...] Not that great. You?

St Flores

[loculus]

I assume better than you.

St Flores

[jaxsons]

I'd never assume that. My shit's pretty specific.

St Flores

[loculus]

And would you like to talk about it?

St Flores

[jaxsons]

I was talking to Jamie about it a couple days ago and I dunno if I'm up for revisiting that.

St Flores

[loculus]

You don't have to.

St Flores

[jaxsons]

I was kinda hoping it wouldn't be as obvious this year.

St Flores

[loculus]

I could offer all of the standard-issue platitudes: grief isn't linear, it will happen in its own time, etc. Or I can simply say that you're doing the best you can.

St Flores

[jaxsons]

Yeah, I'm trying. I know it's gonna get worse the closer it gets to my birthday, but I always find a distraction one way or another.

St Flores

[loculus]

What's helped, historically?

St Flores

[jaxsons]

Not being alone on that day for one. I didn't have to think about that much when I was with Rone. I don't want to be celebrated, so it was great to just lay around and pretend the day wasn't any different.

St Flores

[loculus]

I could hire Maryle to hide in your periphery and knock out anyone who deigns to wish you a happy day.
