You've reached Tim Stoker. I'm out at the moment. Leave me a message and I'll return your call soon.

Sooner or later.
But I do my best.
And it's gone well enough so far.

Also being here I can be as stupid as I like, I suppose.

[rogueinladysclothing]

No, but he might have an idea that you can use on your own without his help. He's got that kind of knowledge. If not in his head, then somewhere in his archive.

Jon has said much the same. There are some very disturbing and frightening things in my world, as well. Not quite the same, but enough that I understand.

I hope you can find a balance, as difficult as it may be. You seem to be off to a start, even in just being willing to try and listen, and I do appreciate that.

[alwayskayaking]

I would hope you don't hurt other people while you're being stupid.

[alwayskayaking]

I'm trying to find that balance. Some days, it still feels like I'm on the verge of tipping over, but I'm trying to get better.

[alwayskayaking]

I doubt it. Not with this doubt.

All I can really do is try to trust her. I am, I'm trying. It's just not easy.

[nuntius]

..Why would he go to Georgia?

[ baffling! ]

[alwayskayaking]

From the lyrics of the song he was looking for a soul to steal.

[nuntius]

[ … tim is doing this on purpose. ]

Oh. I see.

[alwayskayaking]

Although I should probably question that song more. In my world it probably is based on a true story.

[afterthefire]

I think there are always days like that, for everyone no matter what their trials. Knowing when to give yourself space is important, just as much as the times you push yourself a little bit in the name of progress.

But I'm glad to see you making the effort. It's not always a good and safe world, but some of us do our best.

[nuntius]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was in mine, either. There are several legends built into music, apparently.

[rogueinladysclothing]

Any effort is worth making when you feel this way. You don't know yet what's going to help you.

[alwayskayaking]

Here's hoping I don't end up taking three steps back.

[afterthefire]

Likewise. I sincerely hope that you continue to have...*better* experiences, and less of the terrible things you've encountered.

I know it's not easy, but I do wish you the best.

[alwayskayaking]

Until proven otherwise, I'm going to just enjoy the song and assume it' not a literal story about the devil.

[alwayskayaking]

And I wish you the best as well. [Something he might not have ever said a year ago.]

[live_growstronger]

Here? No. Why would I? I abhor violence unless it's absolutely necessary.

Of course, there's always the random city occurrence that makes us act entirely unlike ourselves. But I can't exactly account for that.

[alwayskayaking]

Yeah.

[He doesn't know what else to say.]

[rogueinladysclothing]

[There's truly little more that could be said.]

Face your fears, Tim. All will be well in time. The two of you will still have one another for as long as the city allow it.

Take care of her, and yourself. It seems like you both need it.

[alwayskayaking]

[The why is because Tim has trouble not thinking poorly of those who are more or less than human.]

That is good to hear. I would hope you wouldn't hurt other people, but I've known plenty of foolish people who tend to act without thinking about how their actions may hurt those around them.

[alwayskayaking]

Then, let's just hope it turns out better here than it did at home.

[afterthefire]

It's very much appreciated.

[He means it sincerely. Wolf has certainly made note of Tim's progress, as precarious as it might be at times.]

have a good evening, Tim, I'm sure we'll speak again soon.

[alwayskayaking]

Take care.

Sasha has a question.

How would you feel if I wanted to take over Agnes?
The coffee spot, I mean.
