So.
I was thinking about it.
How attached are you to living in the Down?

[chasedshadows]

What were you thinking?

Re: un: drew

[anthropomorphize]

I have a whole second bedroom.
I know the Up is
supervised
but
it's yours if you want it.

just don't chase the ghosts too deep into the darkness. you might never come back out.

Hello. My name is Mrs. Maisel, and I've called you because a friend of yours, Ace, said that you'd be a good character reference for him. Do you mind answering a few questions?

Re: un: drew

[chasedshadows]

That might be a nice change of scenery. Makes it easier to move between the Up and the Down.
Are you sure?

[chasedshadows]

I'm not sure we could get more trapped than we already are.

[chasedshadows]

Hello, Mrs. Maisel.

I don't mind at all. What's the position you're considering him for?

Re: un: drew

[anthropomorphize]

Of course I'm sure. Doesn't seem right, you being in what passes for housing when I've got room.
And I'd worry a lot less about you too
but if that confession makes it weird
you can forget I said it.

[chasedshadows]

Said what?

[ when in doubt, make jokes.]

I get it.
I know you're the dominant in this scenario, but I worry about you, too.

[anthropomorphize]

Exactly.

[ best laid plans ]

You don't have to worry.
The lack of a line means most people look the other direction
but hey
best of both worlds then?
Live here and you can see I'm actually telling the truth.

[chasedshadows]

I believe you.
So, when am I moving in?

[ not that she has a lot here, but still.]

[anthropomorphize]

I'm free if you are.
I can come down and help carry?

[chasedshadows]

I didn't realize it was urgent.
Thanks - between the two of us, we can do it in one trip.

[anthropomorphize]

No time like the present, right?
Unless you're really attached to the Down.
Then by all means, we can set a date sometime in the near future

[chasedshadows]

As difficult as it is to pull me away from crime and chaos, I think I'm ready.

[anthropomorphize]

I'm sure we can find both crime and chaos in the Up, too.
Structured chaos under close video surveillance.
I'll head that way.
See you in thirty?

[portal_jumper]

You make a fair point. Is it so bad here, though?

[observationalhumor]

Well, it's not so much for a position. We're likely to be meeting in personal space for Shabbat. I just want to be sure if I'm inviting someone into my home, he's a gentleman and not anyone I'd need to worry about.

[chasedshadows]

Depends on the day, doesn't it?
Today's not so bad.

[chasedshadows]

I understand.
He's actually the most gentlemanly person I know. You can trust him.

[chasedshadows]

Structured chaos, might be a nice break from our usual unstructured chaos. But then there's the video surveillance.
See you soon.

[anthropomorphize]

You win some, you lose some. :)
On my way.

[observationalhumor]

That's such a relief to hear. I can't thank you enough. I always like to hear a woman's opinion, you know? Sometimes the men look out for each other, even when they shouldn't.

[chasedshadows]

And you have to be careful, especially here, about the people you let into your home.

Ace is more inclined to get me out of trouble than to cause it. I'm glad to hear he's meeting with you for Shabbat because that's actually the most normal experience he might have here.
