Hi Rhys! Don't worry about this just yet but if you could let me know if you've ever lied to me I'd appreciate it!

It's for a conversation with Jasper!

[therushingsky]

Lied to you? Um... Jeez, I don't think so? Maybe sometimes the truth can get a little carried away, but-- yeah, not that I can recall.

[gamjam]

So no, right?

[therushingsky]

Yeah, no lies!

[gamjam]

Thanks Rhys! Also Elijah graduated and also good job on waking up from your coma. And I wrote my first apology and got a temporary inmate who I really really like so you're all caught up now.

[therushingsky]

That's amazing news! Who did you apologise too? And who's your inmate?

All my news is basically about having weird dreams and bi one needs to hear about that.

[gamjam]

Yeah! I apologized to Quentin for hurting his feelings and approaching him about Elijah that one time when Elijah was sleeping over in my cabin for weeks. Because he still seemed really mad whenever I met him in the hallway. So I asked Elijah and he said it would make sense to write out my apology. He also told me about how you can forgive yourself which is definitely a new concept.

I want to hear it if you want to tell it.

Oh! And sorry, my inmate is a person called Rawne who comes from a place where the trees move!

[therushingsky]

Oh yeah, you've definitely gotta forgive yourself if you've had a fight with Quentin. When Quentin hated me, I forgave myself like, immediately.

And-- sometimes you've just five everything you can think of to make something right, and the thing the other person wants is something you just can't give them. Or sometimes they just-- need to be mad at you, and that's just how it is. You can't just stay on the hook forever to make up for it.

Huh, Rawne. I don't think I've met them?

[gamjam]

I've never been hated before. Maybe that's why I feel uncomfortable every time we accidentally see each other.

Oh, he's wonderful. You should come by! I don't think he likes robots but he's making an exception for me.

[therushingsky]

I didn't mean he hates you-- He's probably just still mad. But-- yeah, if you apologised, and he doesn't accept it then even if it feels weird, just try to move on and act normal. I know it feels weird, but you can't control what other people do, or how they feel, right?

And maybe you should invite him to games night...

[WHICH IS DEFINITELY STILL HAPPENING.]

[gamjam]

Okay. That's good advice, thanks Rhys. Elijah said something like that too.

I will! Oh, when is that? Because the last time you tried to plan it, you went into a coma so maybe we shouldn't do that.

[therushingsky]

Yeah, when did he get so good with people, huh? I think you've been a good influence on him.

And I'm pretty sure it wasn't slowly planning a games night that put me in the coma... I mean. I don't feel like it was that. I guess the only way to check is to schedule it in for... next thursday and see if I die before then!

[gamjam]

Aw, thanks. No, he's just really smart and intuitive and kind. Whenever I have questions I always go to him.

Next Thursday it is! Please don't die.

[therushingsky]

I promise I'll try. You don't die either!

[gamjam]

Got it!
