I mean, I'm in the process of fixing it. It's halfway fixed. I need some Casual Hypnotism to get it all the way, so I'll need Tyler's help to finish the fixing.
And what that absolute fucker *did* was send a goddamn Rotom to fuck with every single piece of electrical equipment I tried to use for my job in the newsroom, making them all fail within minutes of using them. I was lucky enough that my supervisor a) loves me in a completely platonic way because I do damn good work for him and b) is a company man, because he was very willing to accept I'd been sabotaged--he just also put me on unpaid leave until I get the sabotage taken care of.
I fucking *loved* working in the newsroom, Lydia. And I liked having money I fucking earned too.
Then fucking fix it and confront the asshole about it, like it's not that fucking hard of a thing to do.
And yes, yes, I know about the whole loving the newsroom thing and the earning money thing. I get it.
But seriously, darling, don't be paranoid about all of this. He's a bastard, certainly, but I highly doubt Tyler is the type to be manipulated that easily. Or would allow himself to be after damn near everything.
Maybe just, I don't know, talk to him if this is bothering you so much?
I mean, I expected the two of you would *eventually* realize you wanted the same thing from each other. I just didn't know how long it would take.
... unless I've totally misread the situation of him practically living with you and you haven't yet, in which case *I said nothing* and please don't tell Tyler.
Steven, you're probably one of the few people here I don't detest fully.
But even I know better than to confirm or deny anything because you have a habit of running your mouth at the worst possible times and to the worst possible people. So, you know, there's your answer.
Yeah, well, just don't tell Tyler if I *did* accidentally say too much just now.
[He's smiling to himself, though. Either they did figure it out or Lydia at least now knows that Tyler caught feelings too and maybe she'll do something about it.]
I'm not quite sure if Pokemon are exactly paternal outside of certain instances. Given Flaris didn't give a fuck about her eggs, Nex tried to take faces off, and then Allure seemed genuinely concerned about Mesmer's everything.
Wow, rude, I'm absolutely sunshine and daisies and a saint, don't you know.
I suppose in time and age he'll settle down, or at least earn some sort of respect to not be an absolute gremlin. I type as I remember my own gremlin and the fact he's not changed in the slightest...
Cobbles, mostly. Started as a trash fire gremlin and he remained a trash fire gremlin. I'm pretty sure the only people he doesn't detest is myself and maybe Tyler? Sometimes?
Cats are just easier to handle as they're independent. Unless it's Cobbles, I suppose. But all of my cats are far less work than Nova, Flaris, and Vivus.

Re: [Text]
We're grown-ass adults and I'm not keen on drama. If he finds out, he finds out from you saying something. I have no reason to say anything.
Re: [Text]
Thanks anyway.
I guess in the worst case scenario, I have Mesmer now and I can try brainwashing the damn Rotom on my own. The whole Learning by Doing thing.
I wonder if Teller would be willing to use this as a teaching moment for his son.
Re: [Text]
Mmmm, I suppose it's worth a shot?

He's growing on me, though. I suppose I just have a natural fondness for terrible people. Or Pokemon.

Frankly, it's terrifying.

Or elves, I suppose. You're basically half-cat yourself. It's no wonder you have so many.
