With the Quad in a state of uncertain change, it is imperative that we all do what we can to remain unified. Whether you live for money, for your family, or for your future, no one benefits from unmitigated chaos and organized hatred.

Please, share here your woes, your triumphs - any stories you have to offer from recent days in your lives. Together, we can offer an understanding of the Quad that no individual could ever possess alone. Through a picture painted in all colors - Company, Resistance, Leithan, Westerlyn - we can find an image of our common goal.

Speak to one another. Ask for help. Offer condolences. Seek common ground.

We're all in this together.

then you go first

[hydrokinetics]

Why should I have to go first??

[robitussin]

because i'm not going to

[hydrokinetics]

So just because you said to you think I'm going to go first?

[robitussin]

i mean it's kind of a personal question

why should i answer without getting the same in return

[hydrokinetics]

I never said I wouldn't do the same in return but that still doesn't explain why I have to go first when you're the one who responded to me first.

[robitussin]

because you're the one who honestly expected me to answer the whole "where's your bar" question without giving me a reason to

but if you answered first then i would have a reason

[And probably still lie about it.]

[hydrokinetics]

So you're one of those people who drive a hard bargain. Okay. I think I can accept that.

[Not that he won't lie himself, but that's the beauty of a network, probably.]

You want a woe or a triumph or both?

[robitussin]

the only possible answer is both

[hydrokinetics]

Why would I think otherwise?

Woe: Officially knowing that whoever's sending this message won't actually know what true woes are, given the fact that they think talking things out will be good enough.

Triumph: Having attention drawn elsewhere without people breathing down my neck. You'd be amazed what that can do for a guy.

[She never said it had to be detailed.]

Your move.

[robitussin]

i have a few questions about those answers first

[hydrokinetics]

Uh. Not part of the deal, remember? So no way.

[robitussin]

i don't remember signing any contract

if i answer first can i ask them

[hydrokinetics]

[........]

Sure.

[robitussin]

cool

triumph: i made a really good piece of french toast this morning

woe: then i dropped it on the floor accidentally

[hydrokinetics]

...how would you even know it was a good piece of french toast if you went and dropped it?

And if you're dropping it in the first place maybe you don't deserve such a good piece of french toast.

[robitussin]

i had a few bites before it met an unfortunate fate

also fuck off i was distracted

[hydrokinetics]

Okay, what could be more distracting than good french toast?

[robitussin]

don't worry about it

anyways i still have some concerns about your answers

[hydrokinetics]

I'd be more concerned about keeping your future breakfast on your plate, but okay.

[That distraction just worked for a while...can we go back to that?]
