It was extremely unpleasant.
I'm glad to hear you avoided it.

[So that's a yes.]

diva

I know it isn't.
Tell me what you want me to do to make up for it and I will.

[This isn't an offer Peter would ever normally make but the guilt he feels is terrible and just say he's sorry hasn't seemed to make it go away.]

[colorature]

_{[What should she get him to do for her to make it up to her? Just a simple dinner or buying her a dress won't really cut it.]}

how good are you at doing chores

[rosebyanyother]

[That is a very leading question but Peter had promised and he feels too awful, especially speaking with her now, to try and negotiate.]

I've never been hired as a housekeeper or anything like that. But I can do them.
Except cooking. I don't know how to cook.

[colorature]

alright then
you can clean and tidy my cottage then
for a month
you can also take me out to dinner tonight
and for ice cream

[rosebyanyother]

[A month. Peter's better sense wars against his intense guilt and loses.]

Alright. A month then.

Wouldn't you rather I pay for you to have a meal with someone of your choice? I can't imagine seeing my face would improve your appetite.

[And, truthfully....he doesn't want to have dinner with her. It seems like an unpleasant way to spend his evening.]

[colorature]

i hope you like to dust
hmmm...fine
you can pay for a romantic dinner for myself and my boyfriend
it wont be cheap either

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Jaime.
I suppose we could really meet without bringing ropework into it immediately, if we wanted. I always appreciate anyone who appreciates fashion.
And it's a good practices.

[the_fairest_flower]

I'd be delighted to meet.
I live in the Up, would you care to get coffee or tea together?

[rosebyanyother]

That sounds wonderful. When are you free?
I'm in the Up as well.

[the_fairest_flower]

I'm free now, if you are.
I usually only work in the evenings.

[rosebyanyother]

Give me an hour and I'll be available.
Do you have a particular cafe you like?

[the_fairest_flower]

Honestea is one of my favorites. Meet you there in an hour or so?

[Oh. Hah. Well.]

Oh that's optional and removable, it doesn't matter. The tail can tie on.

[Interpret that as you will! Or not.]

I know I don't have to. It was just a thought. But you would look cute and it might help. I doubt you'd want to take that potion again.

[compellingstatement]

[Jon's trying to fathom the purpose of the peg. Maybe something to tie to if you want thing to hang a little looser? He lets it go as Peter moves on and uses a particular word.]

No.
I don't think using that particular potion would be wise.
And I think you mean 'elegant.'
I'm not cute.

[rosebyanyother]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are occasionally cute.

[compellingstatement]

[Jon's cheeks burn.]

You're cute.

[So! There!]

[rosebyanyother]

Yes, I am. It's kind of you to notice. Thank you.

[Was that supposed to be an insult, Jon.]

[compellingstatement]

[Ugh!]

God, you're annoying!

Ah, well, that answers my question.
Every few months our gracious hosts see fit to help us with our contracts by posting profiles of all the participants in their experiment. They tend to be a bit personal and a bit ridiculous.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!!!!

[companioning]

That does not sound pleasant at all. I can honestly say that is not something I'm very much looking for.

How long have you been here?

np! things happen and also. notifications have been disappearing?

[rosebyanyother]

It certainly can be unpleasant. The extent of the unpleasantness seems to vary. Though on the whole I've found peoples' reactions to be understanding.

Just shy of two years.

[It has been. Too long.]

[companioning]

Well that's a relief at least. Still, I can't help but wonder why they would do such a thing to begin with.

That is quite some time. Does it get easier over time or do you find it to get more difficult?

[rosebyanyother]

They would argue, I think, that they're helping us to find appropriate contracts. The real reason is much less helpful, I'm sure.

Honestly, I'm not exactly sure. You'll acclimate to some things. And once you reach a year, as long as you've been properly observing quota requirements, you become a citizen of Duplicity and no longer a participant in the LIES program. That does make some things easier.
