[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.

[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.

[brotimaeus]

why.
people aint intersted in anyhting outside their own fucking circle of interest.
i wouldnt ask either.

[animator]

It's decent to ask.

So tell me about you.

[brotimaeus]

er.
what do yu wanna know.

[animator]

Whatever you're comfortable sharing.

[brotimaeus]

shit how do you even start these things.
hello my name is bro strider and im fully in control of my drinking habits.

[animator]

I feel like I should applaud. Isn't that what they do at those meetings?

[Locked]

[brotimaeus]

guess so.
never went to one.

[Locked]

[animator]

It's a good start, though.

So. Now you talk about whatever you want. What do you like?

[Locked]

[brotimaeus]

that theres a loaded question.
i aint sure youd like to know some of the things i like.

i draw comics.
paid the bills.
most of my time went to looking out for the anklebiter.
