It's— man, I'm glad I have no idea of who's going, actually. I think I'm gonna like less any adult who attended.

Anyway, one of the superhero types made a network post about offering aftercare whenever that ends, I signed us up to host anyone who needed a chill place to stay in for a few nights.

[understood]

That is more or less why we got this place, after all.

[scarrystories]

Mmh, I figured you'd be happy to. If I run into anyone mid-breakdown I might bring them over too. That party isn't gonna be big on aftercare.

[understood]

I imagine most people will lean on those they're to whom they're closest, but if anyone seems to be lacking support, of course I want to help.

[scarrystories]

You know, a lot of people here don't actually have strong support nets like we do. Even people who've been here a while.

[understood]

No, I know. "Closest" is a sliding scale.

[scarrystories]

And a lot of people are emotionally stunted, so even when they do have a support network they're like "I'd rather die than let someone I care about help me."

[understood]

... well, I don't mean to be critical, Andy, but that seems— extreme.

[scarrystories]

It's a little hyperbolic but that's the line of thought.

[understood]

Of course if someone wishes for a quiet place to regroup in relative anonymity, we can provide that, then.

[scarrystories]

I'll text you if I pick up anyone. I'm also gonna offer to book hotel rooms in the Down, I imagine that'll be the more popular option.

[understood]

Ah, that's very thoughtful.

[scarrystories]

Do what you can, right?

[understood]

Right.

[scarrystories]

You know, I'd actually rather be here with you than at a 3-day BDSM orgy.

[understood]

Well, I'm flattered, Andy. Truly.

[scarrystories]

I just thought I might make new friends.

[understood]

I'm sure there will be other, more pleasant opportunities.
