2022-05-12 - Lots of Sucking Up To Do

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Hey are you doing ok?

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : I'm alive. That's a good start. Still reeling a bit. You?

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Yeah, same.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Una and Della are pissed.

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Ariadne's more, with great power comes great responsibility, please don't get yourself and other people Lost.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : I am literally standing outside putting off going in

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Can I borrow your girlfriend? I could use some of that

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : I think I may have to cling to her leg a bit while you do. I'm struggling a bit with -- well, it's not the first time my fucking asthma nearly gets everyone killed.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : I think I'm the one who almost got us killed

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Were you the one telling the damned thing to tell Jules who it was?

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : no but I knew not to touch it

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Okay, so we both fucked up.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : At least we fucked up together

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Thanks for saving me from my own stupid

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Thanks for pulling my drowning ass out of the river.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : I have to go let Una yell at me and try not to yell back. But let's get a beer

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : I think I need a day or two to get my feathers settled before I go get drunk. I'm still... terrified. I never wanted that kind of power. I'm starting to realise how frightening it is. How much damage I can do.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Yeah I didn't mean today. But soon.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : I don't want to be a fucking shaman

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Who the hell does? I've seen dead people all my life. Always kept quiet about it. Because who wants to have that kind of power? At worst you're ridiculed, at even worse, you get propped up like some kind of psychic fraud.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Yeah it was cool when it was just playing with fire but now it's really playing with fire if you know what I mean

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Yes.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : And I own a fucking relic that can make me do shit I don't want to do

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Imagine what it's going to be like when word gets out, Abildgaard can open doors. Abildgaard can get you to the Other side. Abildgaard can get you a meeting with the Revisionist. I hate this. So much.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Oh shit

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : I won't tell if you don't want me to

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Word will get out. Brennon already knows. She's not exactly the embodiment of discretion, you know?

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Just going to have to find a pair of balls somewhere and say no.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : I don't know her that well but I can see that

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : You can borrow mine

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : You're going to need them if Una's as mad as I suspect.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Good point

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : We just need to ... well, think before we act. And I need to not put myself in situations where I have to run. Because I can't.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : No running, check. Thinking before acting...I'll work on that

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Usually I'm the other way. Stop thinking, start acting already.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : I was TRYING to be careful. And yet

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Sometimes we fuck up.

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : I mean, that's how life works. Sometimes, we try our best and we still fuck up. I guess if there's anything that matters here it's that we -- don't keep making the same fuckup over and over?

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Yeah. Thanks for not being mad at me

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Mad? What for? I'm the one who provoked the damned thing.

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : And you pulled my ass out of the river. Don't tell me there was no risk to you.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Mad for acting without thinking etc. Glad you were there to pull my ass out of the 1800s

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Think we better both just do a lot of sucking up this week.

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : That sounds accurate

(TXT to Ravn) Jules : Ok dude I'll let you go and rest or something. Glad Ariadne is there for you!

(TXT to Jules) Ravn : Me too. Believe me, me too.
