2/2 Friday evening

[imaginist]

There is a cat in my apartment. If someone doesn't claim this flea-ridden trespasser within the next 30 minutes, I am calling Security to terminate it.

It rubbed against my leg and I was about to burn these trousers, but this is an acceptable alternative solution.

[beautyfull]

and thank goodness i think they discontinued that shade of black you'd never look the same again

[imaginist]

I'm choosing to ignore the sarcasm because you're helping me. This will no longer apply if your boyfriend is invited too.

[beautyfull]

wow and suddenly why would i ever help u

[imaginist]

Crimes. Don't you want to steal and modify someone's research?

[beautyfull]

obviously
but i'm taking all credit if u don't take back yr [...] titles

[imaginist]

Titles. [...] Fine. Previous comment is retracted for scientific inaccuracies.

ugh i saw that "TITLES~" too.
but thanks.
he's really not. i'd say that out loud.

Waldingers

[imaginist]

You'd say it out loud if he was actually your boyfriend? Really? (Redacted, for you.)

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

no like, i'd say it so you can see it's the truth. i'd never say he WAS out loud bc it'd never happen i just wanted to make Sure you're on the same Page or i'll bald the cat n stuff yr pillow with its hair.

Waldingers

[imaginist]

Interesting. Would you also say out loud that you truly believe "it'd never happen"?

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

yes

Waldingers

[imaginist]

Good. My powers work differently depending on how well I know someone, so it'll be an illustrative experiment.

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

differently how

Waldingers

[imaginist]

Better detection of self-delusion. Someone can believe something is true, but my powers see to the level of... let's say, subconscious truth.

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

idk if i believe this actually

Waldingers

[imaginist]

I am dealing with a rather small sample size at the moment. Not enough to conclusively prove that this is how my powers work. [...] Anyway. Just a fun thought experiment.

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

Oh maybe i do believe u.
yikes

ok u can practice with me but ask me little denial things first like if i think i pass for natural blonde etc ok

Waldingers

[imaginist]

What do you think Mum wou

I can agree to that. We don't have to discuss certain utterly ineffectual security guards at all, actually.

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

More than alright w me. We'll be dealing w a cat anyway.

Waldingers

[imaginist]

Exactly. [...] You don't mind spending your Friday evening in the lab?

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

i mean when else is marchenko gonna go home

Waldingers

[imaginist]

Good point. We'll make it quick.

Waldingers

[beautyfull]

Plentyyy of time for your plans that are not my business.

Waldingers

[imaginist]

And for your plans that are not my business.
