I was talking to my brother about a friend who hurt his feelings, and I realized that I hate that he is still friends with someone who was treating him badly.
I don't like that person at all, even though nobody told me not to like him.
[And he is ridiculously proud of discovering such a strong preference.]
[In all fairness, Mega isn't entirely sure who it is either. He's got a name, but has never interacted with them aside from the network. He wouldn't recognize the person if he saw them. They're still awful though.]
Thank you! I agree that he needs better friends. He doesn't want to listen to me.
But what do I do now that I've figured out hatred? Do we celebrate with foods that are delicious but bad for us?
[Constant talks, at all hours of the day. Elena was informed of every errant sneeze and every time a nightmare woke him in the middle of the night.]
Good. Because I'm also feeling like I might want to re-evaluate the boyfriend responsibilities I've promised to Monika. Elena said that was all right, if I thought things might need to change. But I'm not sure how to bring it up.
I am to report my location as often as possible, because these bodies lack GPS and she would have no way to track me otherwise. And I am to help her when she requests it, and provide companionship as well.
But it was brought to my attention that it might not be usual for multiple people to share boyfriend duties. And I think she's done harm to other boyfriends by keeping secrets. Elena said it would be all right to renegotiate the arrangement if something ever felt wrong.
I don't like that she hurt other people. That's wrong.
Well, first of all, that's not the norm, no. Not unless everyone's consented to it. If someone has picked up multiple boyfriends behind your back, that's called cheating. Very frowned upon.
[That's the first part. And while she normally enjoys Monika's brand of chaos, she's not on either team. And Mega learning to stand up for himself is important. It's something that it took Josie far too long to learn.]
You are also right that you are well within your rights to renegotiate your arrangement if you're not happy with it. You are allowed to take away your consent at any time.
[And with that, she puts on her Josie suit, and wanders down to the gardens to look for her friend. She'll perch under one of the trees and play with her device, occasionally glancing up to see if Mega's appeared.]
text, with apologies for the unsolicited thread
I found something I hate. All by myself.

Really? What is it?

Good job. I'm very proud of you for figuring out your own feelings.
[Truly, she knows this is big for him. Though she is curious who it is, she won't push too much.]
Clearly your brother needs better friends.

[Independent thinking is the goal. She doesn't want to discourage it, but other people might find it weird.]
no subject
Like the kind I would have with Elena?
no subject
Sure. You can talk to me about anything.

Maybe this should wait until I can see you.

I like outside. My roommate says the outside isn't good here. But I like it. The air smells nice.

I'm so glad you stayed.
[Does that make sense? He seems to be under the impression that it makes sense.]
no subject
Was I supposed to be leaving?
no subject
I don't think so, but you're a good person. And good people don't stay in hell. I think that's why Elena left.
[ and he has no idea how to center himself without Elena. ]
no subject
I don't think it really matters if you're good or not. If it was, I think other people would have stayed.
[People like Klaus.]
no subject
[ he might've continued to argue with anyone else. But Josie is one of the people who can explain everything. Her opinion matters more. ]
Then what decides who stays and who goes?
no subject
[She wishes she had those kinds of answers. Josie very much wants to go home.]
Lucifer says it's God, but who knows how much he can be trusted.
no subject
And... So if Lucifer says that's how it is, he could be lying. But it's better not to rick it just in case he's telling the truth.
