[pulling folded up papers from his back pocket]

Yeah, why?

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

In case someone comes back from one of these things acting weird, we know who to look for first.

[romeowned]

... What?

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Seriously? You really don't think that out of all of us, one of us didn't get an adult that wants to screw with us?

[romeowned]

They don't even know us, and we don't know them. A lot of them probably won't even care.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I'd rather be prepared.

[romeowned]

But you're acting like they're going to attack us, not talk to us. They can say whatever stupid things they want, but I really don't think it's going to be any more than that.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I don't trust them.

[romeowned]

I'm not saying I trust them either. But they've got to get through this the same as us. The less we go at it like it's a fight, the better.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

If they want to do this properly, they'll ask us to wait a month and do it when they don't have to.

[romeowned]

That's not going to happen. And most of us wouldn't want to go talk to them, either.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

...you, Cess and Vic should. If they're interested in helping and mean it. But I still don't trust them immediately.

[romeowned]

Even if they do mean it, I'm not all that interested in having other people try and fix my problems for me. I'm just going to try and get through this, too.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, if they're interested and you're interested, I'm still going to keep an eye on them.

[romeowned]

[it's like talking to a depressed brick wall]

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

[WHICH ONE.]

[romeowned]

[yes]

I'll watch out for myself, Julian.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You'd better. I've got enough to do without rescuing you all from bad choices.

[romeowned]

Nobody's asking you to do any rescuing.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, because you lot make great choices on your own.

[romeowned]

They're our choices to make, though.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

And when they go wrong at least now we know who to find first.

[romeowned]

Are you even listening to yourself?

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I think it's funny that you, of all people, think that they're going to be anything other than absolutely useless at best.

[romeowned]

Pardon.
