[b]Pink![/b] [quote]Dear Fiona, What the fuck? *That* is meditation? I thought it was meant to be a chill thing done to relax on mountaintops. Monk didn't mention that at all. Yours sincerely, Pink[/quote] Her attention is fully focused on the conversation like it's a oxygen mask, composing the next email before the first one has finished reading. [quote]Dear Fiona, I thought I could just, like, massage this into a positive memory by seeing myself get constructed around me. Seeing my body coalesce around my mind, awaken into form gently rather than being thrown into it roughly with no warning. It'd be a really romantic and beautiful process! I'd be aligning a mindscape and reality! How am I meant to focus on that if that's what's happening in my head?! Yours kindly, Pink[/quote] [b]Yellow![/b] Yellow: Okay! Yellow: ʘ‿ʘ✿ Yellow: So the main thing is that this is an escalation, right? Yellow: You haven't seen her today, haven't had the kind of time or headspace to think about married life, so you're doing this for you. Yellow: And, legit, I get it. That's great! Yellow: But the thing with this is that you're escalating yourself into a corner. Yellow: After you do this then you've only got one more escalation in the wedding itself. Yellow: And then the only way you can raise the stakes is with kids. Yellow: And don't get me wrong, your wine mom potential is off the charts. Incredible life path aesthetics, love that for you. ≧◡≦✿ Yellow: But to get the most out of that then the proposal and marriage should not only foreshadow that but be optimized for you to get the most out of the transition. Yellow: And I can absolutely help you with that! God, I'm so down for helping you into that new life stage, you've got no idea. The bonfire will be visible from [i]Earth[/i] ✿ڿڰۣ— Yellow: But that [i]is [/i]your wish, right? [b]Cyan![/b] "Look, it is very simple," White said. "We will reason with them. If they do not listen to reason, we will punch them. There is no need to make it complicated." Cyan made her eyes two sizes larger just to [i]really [/i]emphasize the eye-roll. "Your recommendation has been noted. How about before we do that we walk around the building, run a drone over those big pretty windows, do some surveillance? I'd kind of like to know if we're dealing with an entire garrison or a couple of mall cops." She's got an idea already, but it was the kind of thing sensitive to magnitude. It'd also do her a lot of good to know what the highest rank on site was.
