[Davesprite makes him wait for a reply. He's less immediately irritated than he was the night before, but still not particularly pleased about this subject.]

no shit you werent
i dont care anymore why he did it
but him being the only guy who wanted you is kind of a shit reason to cling onto him so much
aint saying what happened to him was good
but if youre going to bare your soul to me constantly you cant complain when i tell you to take better care of it

[jumpthegun]

[Can we not talk about this? He retreats into humor.]

I really don't think you want to do a therapy session. If you do, I know a few people who could probably use it more.

[mrcreamsicles]

no shut up im not going all psychoanalyst on you
if rose shows up ill point her at you and you can both find one of those shitty couches for a whole session of therapy and emotional breakthroughs
im just telling you basic advice here because youre the one who told me the problem
and if you want me to stop then quit dropping your issues in whatever passes for my lap

[jumpthegun]

I was high as a bloody kite. I certainly didn't mean to tell you that.

[mrcreamsicles]

then turn your tablet off and tape a note to it before you take your meds
"dont use this until morning you idiot youre high off your ass"
not my fault youve got no foresight
and you didnt have that excuse when you showed off your guilt complex

[jumpthegun]

I don't have a complex.

Look. I don't want to get into another argument, Davesprite. I appreciate you worrying about me, but you don't need to. I can try to explain more clearly about Sherlock if you have some question about him.

[mrcreamsicles]

do i have to dig up what you said
ill do it watson dont test me
and ill stop worrying when you stop being an idiot who cant keep his problems on the inside

i dont have questions about him anymore
i was pissed because hes a dipshit who wont listen even when im offering to explain the weird shit to him
but thats his fault for sticking his fingers in his ears and going lalala about a willing source of info
i already told him the offers cancelled though
so if he comes around he can deal with it on his own

[jumpthegun]

[John's just going to... ignore that first part. That solves that problem right?]

Did you want to tell me what's going on with you?

[That way he can relay.]

[mrcreamsicles]

"And I'm trying to explain to you why stewing away in guilt is pointless. Because that's what you do. You feel guilty and then something bad actually does happen and it feels like everything's crushing down on you. You, you particularly, screwed every single bloody thing up."

shore up your deflection game better

and no i dont

[jumpthegun]

I mean you as in general you. I'm an Army doctor. You don't think I saw a lot of that?

[Continuing to deflect. That's not technically a lie.]

[mrcreamsicles]

deflection deflection deflection
you keep dodging and im gonna keep jabbing

[jumpthegun]

Have you spoken with Mr. Solomons, yet? I think you two might get along.

[mrcreamsicles]

no and im not going to
just admit youve got the guilt complex and ill drop it at that
i promise on all my feathers

[jumpthegun]

Some reason you're avoiding him?

[You'll never take him alive, Davesprite.]

[mrcreamsicles]

someone told me hes dangerous
think it was clint

[A pause.]

do you want me to dig harder watson
like i said im no psychoanalyst but youve got problems like a neon sign
i could read you up in space
and youre already working this hard trying to dodge a teenager pointing out the obvious

[jumpthegun]

He is dangerous, but he likes kids more than adults. And he's not actively dangerous like a lot of people you'll find here.

I'm not dodging anything. It's just nothing I'm going to discuss with a teenager. I'm old enough to be your father. Accidentally mentioning a few things doesn't mean I'm interested in going deeper. It'll be easier for you to forget about it, anyway. I manage to carry on. I'll keep managing.

[mrcreamsicles]

the guy who was my father ran a puppet themed porn site and died fighting an evil omnipotent dog
youre a stuffy british man whod sooner try the im older than you argument to keep from admitting he has a guilt complex
when i literally told you ill drop the whole thing if you just come out and say it
but youre like a drunk who just barfed all over my shoes and then swears to god he hasnt had a single drink
the issues are right there watson
youre the one who horfed them up on me
and if you keep trying to bs me about it im gonna keep rubbing your nose in it

[jumpthegun]

[John's still very tempted to just hang up. He doesn't want to deal with this right now. Also, what the hell is your life, Davesprite?]

It's a competition, then. Right.

You've got me. I've got a guilt complex.

[Can you read the sarcasm, Davesprite? He hopes you can.]

[mrcreamsicles]

[You don't know the half of it, Watson.]

youre really stupid you know that
admit it to yourself
because youre the one with the problem
but whatever im out

[jumpthegun]

I'm told that quite often, yes. Good morning.

[John's beginning to really dislike some of the kids here. Maybe he and Alfie can start a club for that.]

[mrcreamsicles]

[Too bad, Watson. He's stubborn, and like it or not he's concerned because you're a one man disaster.]

[He politely refrains from calling out his egregious Britishism, too. Good morning is a greeting, you tool.]
