Time to 'fess up.

[xp_daytripper]

Um, yeah, the bang and the stench and the turning people green was me. I'm really sorry, I've done that spell a few times now and never had any problems, but I s'pose I didn't have the handle on it I thought. Any way, the smell's all gone from the library, and I've cleaned up down there (which is why no word from me 'til now) and I'm about to call Rom and see if there's anything I can do to un-green people. Including me. I look like a fucking dryad right now. If there isn't, it should wear off in a day or two.

Oh, and I'm fine, by the way. The bang was all noise and no actual flash.

I'm really sorry. I don't know what happened.

Well, sometimes I'm not the brightest.

De-greener and sorbet is outside your door. I'm going to figure out what went wrong so it doesn't happen again.

That's good.

But why are you so irritated with me?

Manuel

Talking of rubbing people's noses in it...

[xp_daytripper]

Well, maybe I'm too dumb to explain.

Maybe.

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

But that's a lousy explanation.

I've still got some peach sorbet left. In a heroic act of sheer willpower, I left some for you.

Assuming you can find your way up here, want to tell me what's got your panties in a twist?

Manuel

Finish it.

[xp_daytripper]

I'm quite comfy where I am and I've had it with being your doormat for today. You want to be a bastard, fine, but don't expect me to sit here and take it.

Whatever

You want to stop sulking and behave like a woman your age, then you can come up and see me. For fuck's sake, Miles or Leyu on Pixie Sticks are more mature than you're being right now.

I've got too much important stuff to do to be dealing with your crap right now.

Manuel

I'm being immature?

[xp_daytripper]

This from the person who was whining about how no-one bothered to break down his door to see if he was okay? And just ignoring the whole bit about Angie coming by with the paint removing gunk, just in case? Who got his pride out of joint because a cat gets more attention than he does?

I fucked up, I apologised, I did what had to be done to fix it. Only you couldn't let it go and had to make a big fucking drama about it. When you're linked to me and can feel how bad I feel about the whole thing. It's not like you've never made a mistake with your powers before.

Hypocrite.

It's not about the mistake

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

As you just pointed out, I've got no grounds to stand on that way.

No, you had to take a joke and blow it way, way out of proportion, then get all bent further out of shape when I called you on it.

Past time I stopped fucking around with all of this. Let it go, let you get bent out of shape or not as you see fit, and worry about the immediate goal - passing this exam.

Then, once I've succeeded, I can attend to the secondary things.

Manuel, I can just about guarantee to you that as satisfied as you might be by the carefully crafted nastiness of this reply tonight, you will probably feel like ten kinds of shit in the morning about it.

Very tempted to telekinetically freeze all the keyboards in the house here.

There was a joke in there somewhere?

[xp_daytripper]

I'd already had to deal with you making me feel like a prize bitch for turning you green in the first place, so yeah, my sense of humour wasn't really working to your speed. And calling me dumb always goes down a treat.

Good luck with the exam.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Amanda, stepping away from the keyboard would be a really good idea. This isn't the sort of discussion the two of you want to be having in this particular medium.

Stepping away and cooling off is the best course of action here. You'll both thank yourself for it in the morning.

Sense, as usual.

I'm just tired of always having to be the doormat when he wants to take shots in public. But I'm switching this off now. Think I'll go for a walk - place is clautrophobic right now.
