Are you drunk?

[brotimaeus]

no.

[animator]

Just a really horrible speller, then.

Stop drinking. Your liver is going to fall out your ass if you abuse it like that.

[brotimaeus]

wow rude.
mayb i haev a problem that keepsn me fromspelling thigns rpoperly.

you dont know my life.

[animator]

Paired with the stream-of-consciousness storytelling up there, I was willing to risk the insult and just assume drunk instead.

No, I don't know your life, but I get the feeling you're not going to be too happy when you sober up and realize you've aired things you'd rather not if someone lets you keep going.

[brotimaeus]

oh my gid.
god.
let a dead dreunk guy have his enteraintment.
if i was too drunk to not want to embarass my little bro i woludlnt be abel to tyep at all.
older brothers perogatif
tive?
you know.
that thing.

[animator]

Embarrassing your siblings is fine. Part of life.

Prerogative, by the way.

But just because you're spouting harmless shit right now doesn't mean you won't do or say something you'll regret.

[brotimaeus]

listen lady.
i dont need you judgingme.
shit.
im not gonna say anythng to hurt dave.
fukc that noise.

[animator]

I'm not worried about you hurting Dave. I'm worried about you hurting yourself.

There's a difference between judgment and concern. This is the latter.

[brotimaeus]

why would ytou give a shit.
not
yuo know
tellign you to fuck off or wahtever.
but you dont fucking know me.

haha oh my god.
i soundliek a mtoherfucking whiny teenager.

[animator]

We spoke briefly before, but yes, I realize we don't really know each other. Doesn't mean I can't recognize pain. If I'm wasting my breath here, fine, I'm gone, but I couldn't just go without saying something.

[brotimaeus]

yes you coudl.
but you didnt.
dont giveme that shti lady im not that durnk yet.
wait.
wait.
i remembr you.
anna.
or
no.
anita.

[animator]

Anita.

And no, I couldn't.

[brotimaeus]

why not.

[animator]

I've seen too many people get hurt or hurt themselves without meaning to as a result of drinking. I'm not trying to be preachy. It's not like I disapprove of the practice entirely.

But I wanted to make sure you were being safe.

And you seem upset. Like it's more than just telling stories.

[brotimaeus]

i aint gonan hurt myself.
fuck.
im indoors.
not even in a bar or anyhthing ok mom.
jesus.

wht
what.
why do i.
how is that evne a thing.

[animator]

Okay, fine. That's fine.

Just gave off that kind of vibe.

Also, that tends to be why people drink.

[brotimaeus]

[He takes a pretty long while to come back to her after this, while he sets himself the right way up on the couch and promptly forgets that she messaged him at all.

When he finally does respond he's a little more sober.]

yeah.
ok.
you got me.

[animator]

Right on the money, then?

[brotimaeus]

pulled three bars and hit the fucking jackpot.

[animator]

Unload if you want. If you don't want, that's fine. I'm not the greatest listener. But if something's bothering you, there's gotta be a better way to deal with it instead of making yourself sick with that stuff.

[brotimaeus]

i aint sick.
just a bt drunk.
pretty fucking sure i know my limits and hell if i want my bro seeing me that fucked up.

aint that keen on putting this shit out for everyne to see.
should hide my phone next time i decide to hitthe bottle oh my god.

[animator]

That last part was my primary concern, honestly. If you're going to drink, fine. But hide your phone so you don't say something you'll regret.

[brotimaeus]

your primary concern was unecessary.
i dont talk about me haha.
people dont fucking ask.

[animator]

People should ask.
