USERNAME: parker

( peter is Uncomfortable doing this. he tried desperately to change his username and nothing in his nerd brain and encyclopedic knowledge of coding languages has offered any respite from part of his name being attached to whatever he wanted to say. which means he has to be careful about what he says...

though, he's gotta ask, because he's gotta know. )


so, uh, quick q

anybody feeling weird? not... quite themselves..... . . . . since they got here

( that's it. short and sweet. hopefully it's vague enough to not indicate anything but still leading enough to possibly result in getting the answers he's hoping for. )

i appreciate it, i do. i know i'm not making much sense, it's just... i can't really be specific.

i know it doesn't mean much from a stranger, but i have good reason. i swear.

[romancekiller]

no, it's okay. you're right, we are strangers so i get it if you're not comfortable telling me more than that and if you say you have a good reason, i believe you. [she genuinely means that too because if their positions were reversed then it's very likely she would do the same thing]

[webdesigned]

i... thanks.

( this is a new thing for him, being upfront about what he can't say instead of lying around it. but it still feels a little wrong, even if he has his reasons. )

that's a lot of trust in a stranger.

[romancekiller]

maybe but considering this is only our first conversation, i get why you wouldn't want to say much more. i mean, really i would probably do the same thing if our positions were reversed. [so it's more like she can see where he's coming from considering she has been very vague in response to his earlier questions about her experiences back home and how things were like there]

[webdesigned]

i guess that's a good point. it makes me feel less like a cagey dick, so win win

( thank god he's not the only dubious one hanging around!! )

[romancekiller]

is that how other people are reacting?

anyway i hope things work out so you're able to feel more like yourself again.

[webdesigned]

not really, but i know i'm being a cagey dick, so it evens out

thanks. i hope so too.
