Hello :)

It has been brought to my attention about the existence of a Public Kiss List, and I think that this is a wonderful idea! After all, kissing is an enjoyable pastime and should be partaken in enthusiastically and often! But I know that there are people who are more, how do you say, conservative aboard, and for that I would like to offer my services!

Not as a kissee, at least for the men (désolée!), but as a coordinator!

During Mr Bishop's soiree last week, I could not help but notice that sparkling pull of chemistry between people. I think it sometimes takes another person to point out what is obvious to others.

For example! Casper and Lola would be fantastique, non? Or Domingo and Jax! Such chemistry!

I am happy to help make arrangements!

Jealousy over what, exactly?

[adrii]

Me and Dom.

[oneirophrenic]

Don't make me laugh.

[adrii]

It's okay to admit it. You're among friends.

[adrii]

Not me, but ostensibly others.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

Would it be possible for you to suppress your more insufferable instincts for ten minutes and make yourself useful?

Noldana.

[adrii]

Not how I prefer to be seduced, but I suppose I can make time.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

I wasn't trying to seduce you, you reprobate.

Noldana.

[adrii]

If you want me to put in a good word for you with Dom, he wouldn't believe me.

Noldana.

[oneirophrenic]

He wouldn't need one.

Noldana.

[adrii]

Then what am I helping you with?

Noldana. Several hours later.

[oneirophrenic]

If you dare throw what I'm about to say back in my face at a later date, I will never speak to you again.

If someone you once slept with is no longer interested in you, should you take that as a sign that you have: a) aged badly, b) that prolonged proximity has revealed some aspect of your personality they find unappealing, or c) that you are simply less appealing after an incident that reduced your mobility?

Now, rationally, I understand it could, of course, be something else entirely — it would require a deeply uncharitable assessment of their character to assume they were put off by c. But it is difficult not to wonder.

Noldana.

[adrii]

I'm an asshole, not cruel.

Me, personally, I would assume b if the person in this spiral was me. I'm an acquired taste and not prone to sharing my feelings, and I've accepted that.

If I were you, I'd assume option d: it has nothing to do with you or e: they're scared. A is irrational and wholly untrue, and c means they're not worth the time you are giving them wondering.

You are a deeply attractive man, Nikola, and have gotten more attractive with age. You are disgustingly caring and have several great qualities that would make you an ideal partner for someone who can put up with your narcissism.

Regardless, you can do better than someone who sends you into spirals.

And I will suffocate you in your sleep if you throw this in my face.

Noldana.

To quote Sally Field: I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me.

[chemveil]

Chum. Water.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

I told you it's worse than ever before.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

Maybe I'll start calling you Chum instead of Chirp.

If/When you wade into this at all, you have to tell me all the gossip.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

You do realize that's another word for friend?

They've created far too much of a mess and I'm no maid.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

No Dom, I had no idea.

Yeah, I wouldn't touch that shit with a ten foot pole personally.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

I understand friendship must be a new and alarming topic for you.

If I were to wade in, as you say, my impression is that it would be for the sole purpose of [...] getting my ankles wet, while I believe I'm more interested in a swim.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

This is what happens when you leave me alone for too long — I return to feral tendencies.

Makes sense. And honestly, the messy stuff when we're in cramped quarters seems overly risky. I'm glad you're not going to put yourself in a position like that, especially when you're still settling in.

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

No longer will you eat leftover pizza from trash cans.

I do miss being put in some positions, but the field taught me nothing if not patience.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

A tragedy, honestly. God, even trash can pizza would hit the spot. I've been here too long.

Oh sure, but that position seems remarkably uncomfortable. No reason to hurt your back. [...] Do you miss being out there yet?

maryle/dom.

[loculus]

Transfer into recruitment and you have have bland trash pizza whenever the urge hits you.

Yes. I'm a very pretty desk ornament but a desk ornament nonetheless.

maryle/dom.

[chemveil]

Can you imagine how horrible at that I'd be? Best to keep me sardined up here.

Dare I say the prettiest desk ornament. [...] It's got to be hard. If you want to talk about it I'm here, you know. Haven't had an emotional conversation that makes me break out in hives in a long time.
