DAY 88 -- PUBLIC CHANNEL

[dorkypantsuit]

[It's a not terribly cheerful Psi greeting you on the radio today. In fact, his annoyance is palpable though he tries his best to restrain it.]

Are there any individuals here from species with... Alternative romantic relationships, by which I mean romantic relationships not motivated purely by... Love.

Barring that, I'm wondering if anyone here with experience fighting psionics is interested in... Sparring.

[walkonedge]

So, you mean like, a love-hate relationship but more emphasis on the hate?

... I don't know how that would work out, honestly.

[dorkypantsuit]

Of course you don't, you're a human.

[walkonedge]

I mean, more often than not I want to punch my best friend's face in when he's being a moron, but there's nothing romantic about it.

[dorkypantsuit]

Are you sure about that? You're getting awfully defensive.

[walkonedge]

...... what.

[ He's not being defensive!!! ]

I'm quite sure. There's nothing romantic about it, punching him really is the only way to get him to see sense?

[dorkypantsuit]

Yup. Sounds like a typical hatemance to me.

[walkonedge]

... It's... really not a hatemance.

We're not in a relationship.

[dorkypantsuit]

A friendship is a kind of relationship isn't it?

[walkonedge]

[ A beat. MUST YOU BE PEDANTIC, PSI? ]

I guess.

[dorkypantsuit]

And what do you get out of this relationship?

Enjoyment or irritation?

[walkonedge]

[ what kind of a question is this abort abort ]

Both?

[dorkypantsuit]

So you enjoy being irritated by him.

[SURE THIS ISN'T A HATEMANCE YAMATO?]

[walkonedge]

[ IT'S NOT A HATEMANCE HE WILL DENY IT TO THE END OF TIME also tell that to his girlfriend, psi. ]

It's not that! Making him see sense is-- [ he's going to cut off there before he digs himself into a deeper hole, bye. ]
