So. [Hi, Riftwatch. How does one do one of these? Is it possible to do it well?] Think it's pretty safe to assume Jude's not on some long-term secret mission, unless a division head wants to speak up.

[There's a moment of silence, though if it's simply out of respect or for trying to figure out what to even say, that's up in the air.]

There's some recipes. So we won't be screwing up his pancakes anymore, among a few other things.

I pity whoever gets that room after, though; the wolf hair's gonna be lingering on everything.

You all need to back the fuck off.

[heirring]

Perhaps Miss Anderson should pick other avenues for voicing her dissatisfaction with Research's work if she isn't prepared to receive immediate feedback from her peers.

[laruetheday]

You accused her of sabotaging your study. She's allowed to defend herself.

[heirring]

And she has accused our work as being flagrantly irresponsible without understanding it. Are Viktor and I not allowed to defend ourselves?

[grindset]

No, that's not— I-I have no quarrel with Abby, I was simply addressing her concerns—

[heirring]

Well I for one am not content to have her suggest to one of our study's participants that we might happily amputate his limbs given the slightest provocation.

[grindset]

Ehh, not to be pedantic, but he raised that fear himself. She only said 'lose'.

[heirring]

I said she suggested it, I didn't say she said it.

[Pedantry off.]

[grindset]

While implying it was her idea.

[heirring]

Ah yes. In the context of this very specific conversation, Miss Anderson clearly believed Mister Artemaeus might simply misplace his arm entirely by accident through no fault or action of our study.

[laruetheday]

So Abby's supposed to literally lay down her life for Riftwatch, but if she doesn't like something she can just shut up about it. That's how it is, huh?

[heirring]

If she doesn't know what she's talking about, then yes. Maybe she should.

[notathreat]

You know that's bullshit, Wysteria.

[heirring]

Is it? I certainly don't tell anyone here how best to do their work, but by all means. I can begin.

[That's a threat.]

[laruetheday]

Go ahead. At this point it's not like it can make you look worse.

[heorte]

[ exceptionally rare crystal appearance to caution— ]

Mind your approach.

[laruetheday]

Why should I?

[heorte]

Are you hoping to escalate this argument or diffuse it?

[laruetheday]

Neither. I'm here to back up my friend.

[heorte]

There's more than one way we support our friends.

[ tfw this is already more involved than you meant to get. ]

Don't wind them up. The disagreement can be settled more quietly than this.

[laruetheday]

So I let Wysteria go after her for no reason and then later I pat her on the back and say "feel better" or something? Yeah, right.

[ She's so messy tbh she can't leave it alone ]

[heorte]

I didn't say that. I said mind your approach.

[laruetheday]

I'm over it.

[ Just kidding, she's furious!! But she is leaving it alone now, since it seems like everyone has mutually agreed to stop talking right now. ]
