MorganLaFey: hi

WScranton8: hey

MorganLaFey: so I’m not gonna be on for long

WScranton8: oh

MorganLaFey: yeah

MorganLaFey: my boyfriend’s being

MorganLaFey: well, totally awful

MorganLaFey: I know we don’t talk about that sort of thing much

MorganLaFey: but tonight has been really sucky and I could use a friend

WScranton8: hey, I’m your friend

WScranton8: and I know we don’t talk about it much but I’m always here

MorganLaFey: thanks

MorganLaFey: I know you are

MorganLaFey: honestly, that’s why I’m online at all

WScranton8: well, now that we’ve established I’m the reason for your odd online habits

WScranton8: you want to talk about it?

MorganLaFey: *sigh*

MorganLaFey: he’s just being incredibly jealous about something totally minor

MorganLaFey: he has this insane idea that one of my coworkers is hitting on me

WScranton8: let me guess, the one cool one?

MorganLaFey: yeah

MorganLaFey: so he’s being just jealous and controlling and it’s driving me up a wall

WScranton8: I’m sorry :-(

WScranton8: you OK? you’re not in danger or anything?

MorganLaFey: yeah, yeah, it’s not that kind of thing

MorganLaFey: he’s just…hard to talk to, you know?

WScranton8: yeah

WScranton8: I mean, actually, no I don’t, but I think I get it

WScranton8: and that sucks

MorganLaFey: yeah

MorganLaFey: and like, it would be one thing if there was something for him to be jealous of, you know?

MorganLaFey: it wouldn’t be totally OK, because he’s way overreacting, but at least there’d be something to talk about

MorganLaFey: this way is just...

WScranton8: how do you prove a negative

MorganLaFey: yeah

WScranton8: man, that sucks

WScranton8: you know, even if you can’t talk to him, you don’t have to keep it bottled up

WScranton8: and not just because you can always talk to me (you can you know)

MorganLaFey: I know :-)

WScranton8: but, like, I have this artistic friend

MorganLaFey: oh really? ;-)

WScranton8: yes, IRL, not everyone is you :-P

WScranton8: and when she’s stressed out about something she doodles

WScranton8: I don’t know if that works for you, but you could try it

MorganLaFey: yeah, that’s what I do too

MorganLaFey: that’s a good idea, thanks

MorganLaFey: ok he just came downstairs, gtg

MorganLaFey: bye

WScranton8: bye

 

******

 

MorganLaFey: hey again

WScranton8: hi

WScranton8: you ok?

MorganLaFey: yeah?

MorganLaFey: it’s…it’ll be ok

MorganLaFey: and I’m fine, the doodling helped

WScranton8: oh good

MorganLaFey: how’re you?

MorganLaFey: sorry to have run off earlier

WScranton8: hey no, you gotta do what you gotta do

WScranton8: totally understand

WScranton8: and I guess I’m OK?

WScranton8: today wasn’t great for me

WScranton8: and my two best friends seem to be having shitty days too, so…

MorganLaFey: I’m sorry

MorganLaFey: you don’t need to worry about me

WScranton8: I do, though

WScranton8: you matter

MorganLaFey: thanks :-)

MorganLaFey: but more about you, you don’t get off that easy ;-)

WScranton8: eh, the day was actually pretty OK until the end

WScranton8: well, scratch that, everyone at my office is afraid they’re getting fired

WScranton8: but, like, lemons into lemonade, you know?

WScranton8: we managed to make it a good day

MorganLaFey: I’m glad to hear that

MorganLaFey: must be the economy, we have the same rumors

WScranton8: :-(

WScranton8: yeah, everyone’s on edge

WScranton8: and then at the end of the day I got my friend in trouble

WScranton8: so I feel bad about that

MorganLaFey: :-(

MorganLaFey: I’m sure it wasn’t your fault

WScranton8: thanks

WScranton8: but yeah, since then I’ve been missing easy questions in Zone Trivia and drowning my sorrows in Yuengling

WScranton8: so, all in all a productive day ;-)

MorganLaFey: sounds like it

MorganLaFey: how about we head back into the trivia room and team up on these guys?

WScranton8: I think I could do that

MorganLaFey: good :-)
