2020-11-29 - Strange Bedfellows

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Happy Thanksgiving.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Yeah. You too. Enjoy a waffletaco...I might be done with them. So bloated.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : (...)

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : I am not sure what we were thinking. With them. Sorry if I was annoying.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I think we were thinking we were stoned and had the munchies.

You were fine. Tolerable, even. You should be stoned more often.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Very stoned. But no. Being stoned ends baldy.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Badly.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I don't know. Aside from eating a bunch of really bad shit, I don't think it was to bad.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : I'm glad. You were pleasant company.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Thanks. You weren't so bad yourself, truth be told. I may have actually liked you for a few days there.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : I liked you, too. But I don't have a crush on you. For the record.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I didn't think you did. Besides, even if you did 1) You are not my preferred gender. 2) You have a woman 3) I may have my eyes on someone else.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Good. And good luck. 🙂 I hear waffletacos have aphrodisiac qualities.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Thanks. I don't know if it will work out, and even if it does it would probably end horribly...but sometimes you just have to take a chance.

Well, maybe when they are stoned, but the number of extra calories to burn...

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Poetry and metal songs tell me that the best love affairs are the ones that end horribly. And if you can't figure out a fun way to burn extra calories, I'm disappointed.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Oh, I know. I was trying not to go there though. Respect and all. I have it, believe it or not.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Weirdly, I do. You're nice to Ravn. He's nice, it's not hard, but offering to help him with self-defense is nicer than I expected.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Contrary to belief, I am not an ogre. I was not born with a mean streak and I am not a sociopath.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Those are good things. I'm glad.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : I'm sorry for being an asshole.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I don't think you are an asshole...not really. Pushy maybe? Overinquizitive for sure. Troublemaker possibly, but that doesn't make you an asshole.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : A pain in my ass maybe.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : There is no such thing as being overly inquisitive. But I don't mean to be a pain in your ass specifically. Just generally.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I know. You are just being you. We are all given a lot in life, and yours just happens to be opposite mine some of the time.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : And yes...yes there is.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Yes. But it was pleasant to talk to you. You're interesting. I would like to continue to do so, as opposite lots permit.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : And no there isn't.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : 🙂

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : We will have to agree to disagree on that, Alexander. I can only say that sometimes people that ask so many questions find out the answers come with repercussions.

I'll be happy to talk to you, as opposite lots permit.

So, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? I somehow ended up being invited to the casino to have dinner with Vic and her father. (And Ravn, but he doesn't count 😉

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Failure to ask the questions comes with repercussions, too. But we will agree to disagree. Miss Grey's father is nice. I have other commitments. I didn't mean for them to go over Thanksgiving, but the timing worked out that way.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Ah, I hope they work out for you. I've never met him, I was surprised she asked me to go, tbh.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Why surprised?

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Just figured she would want to spend it with her dad without a couple of other guys tagging along. Ravn I get since she works with him. Introduce the co-worker/sith apprentice, but why invite me? Just surprised me is all.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : You're friends. And sometimes family is hard. Sometimes a friend buffer is good.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Maybe. She said it is because she wants her dad to know she has people here, so I guess that makes sense. Still, I always thought Thanksgiving was more a family thing.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : There's the family you're born with, and the family you make along the way.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I'm more surprised she didn't ask De La Vega. Apparently he and her dad are friends. If anyone is family it is likely him, not me.

Look, don't get me wrong. I am not complaining. Not at all. Just wasn't expecting it.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : De la Vega won't be able to make it.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : But don't question it too much. Just accept that she thinks of you as enough of a friend that she's not ashamed to introduce you to a parent. Yay.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I don't think she asked him anyway. I guess they were all busy with ghost turkeys last night, her dad included. That will be awkward if he remembers.
Yeah, I know. I am overthinking it. You're right about that.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Ghost turkeys?

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : According to Vic the ghosts of turkeys past decided they were offended that the lucky pre-thanksgiving revelers were eating their ancestors, they decided to rise up and revolt. Something fowl in the air or something. But yeah, ghost turkeys. I don't know details, we were jogging and I didn't get time to ask details.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : This town is ridiculous.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Did anyone tell you about the slimes?

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : That is something we can agree on.

Slimes?

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Kelly and I got a craving for tacos. Real tacos. But all that were left were sauerkraut, and we were stupid and stoned enough to eat them. Then triggered a Dream where we ended up in sewers with other people, and...slimes...attacked us. Horrible slimes.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Sauerkraut tacos? I dont believe I have had the...pleasure?

Sewer slimes? Sounds unpleasant.

How are you friends with Joey anyway? You seem an unlikely pairing.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Don't. Avoid at all costs. And they were very unpleasant. I showered for hours.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : I was infected with a serial killer's rage. I decided it was better if he wasn't...around anymore.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Things got better from there.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Wait, what?

Fuck this town man.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Yeah. I accidentally set his gym on fire.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : And you are still alive? How is that even possible?

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : I'm not entirely certain. But we came to an understanding.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Well, good for you..and him. Glad neither of you are dead.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Yes. He's a good friend. Within opposite rolls as they allow.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Seems there is a lot of that going around.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Inimicus inimici mei. Or so they say.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Or this town makes strange bedfellows. I guess when you are fighting ghosts and sewer slimes, other things just kind of don't matter.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : They matter. But, at least on my end, I'm not an idiot. There's knowing something, and then there's being able to prove it to the point where it accomplishes anything other than 'repercussions'. I can't, right now, and suicide is inefficient. Admittedly, I try harder when people cause more collateral damage.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Well, I hope for everyone's sake circumstances never get to a point where things degrade to a point that there are any repercussions for anyone.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : Dum spiro spero.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Yeah.. (I had to google that. I'm not that smart)

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : You're plenty smart.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Ok, well, not smart enough to know Latin. I think that was Latin anyway.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : It was Latin. You could learn it if you wanted. It's just a language. I eventually learned a little bit of Spanish, because Javier.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : I know a bit of that.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : It's more useful than Latin. I can admit that.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : One would think. You don't find very many Latin speakers around that I know of.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : It's a dead language. So no. But it's still useful. Legal and medical terms are often in Latin. Useful for my work. And I can work out words in most Latin-derived languages by knowing their roots.

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : And Isabella very much likes having someone to talk Latin and Ancient Greek with. 😃

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Well, that right there is probably worth it

(TXT to Seth) Alexander : I agree. I should go. Don't die. Maybe after Thanksgiving, if you and Ravn survive, we can have another punching lesson.

(TXT to Alexander) Seth : Sounds like a plan. Take care.
