its improving your circulation then
and your patience, dont you need that for interacting with others in your job?

[nintendog]

I work alone, and I only really take orders from one guy.
Cute as I am, I'm not PR. I'm dispatch!

( you know....... of the clean up kind. )

And I try not to get civilians involved.

( she's just that good? anyway. )

I'm not that bad!

[outplayed]

that means you have a dispatcher, yes? who presumably you need to exercise a bit of patience with?

[ kyaa nei... 🥺 ]

after dealing with me im sure everybody else seems so reasonable and easy to handle

[nintendog]

I'll have you know that I've never given them any trouble! I'm nothing but sweet to them and the rest of the supporting staff.

( but not some of the other people they dispatch, or their informant*. she's a bonafide good girl!!!! to a select group, )

So you're saying I should thank you for testing my patience everyday. Is that it?

[outplayed]

i didnt say that, but if you ARE so grateful, then sure... you can say "thank you"... 🥺

[ anything, at any time, could be a set up. ]

[nintendog]

I'm not thanking you for being an annoyance!!!!! That'll just encourage you!!!

( as if he needs encouragement. )

You are SO lucky I have things to do or I'd come smack you.

[outplayed]

aww
will you come smack me some other time, then?

[nintendog]

What is wrong with you??

( who asks that.......... )

Maybe I will! And I'm not afraid of having to wake you up for it either if I get done at a stupid hour!

[outplayed]

idk probably just born dented

[ actually, it's a long story, he doesn't want to get into it. ]

?
but i love being asleep... cant you wait until im awake?

[nintendog]

( hm. )

Why would I wait for a more convenient time for you? It's punishment?

[outplayed]

i dont like it when my sleep is disturbed... you might not like it either, just so you know?

[nintendog]

And why not? What if I just wanted to come see you? Do I need to book an appointment for that too?

[outplayed]

?
then book an appointment when im awake, itll be more fun for both of us that way
besides, i have poor sleeping habits

[nintendog]

( ? )

Like, you wake up a lot, or?

[outplayed]

i do wake up pretty easily, yeah
but i also cling in my sleep
if i grab something incidentally im not letting go until i wake up again

[nintendog]

Oh.

( that's moe. )

Then couldn't I just wake you up if I get fed up?

[outplayed]

?
and disturb my tender, fleeting sleep?
does it not strike you as cruel and unusual?

[nintendog]

( well, that's not fair. )

If you deserve it, then it'd be justified.

( maybe. will she go through with it? hm. )

[outplayed]

depriving people of sleep is a war crime, is it not...?
you think its justified? to commit a war crime on me?

[nintendog]

Just long enough to do what I need to, and then you can go back to sleep! It's not like I'm keeping you up for a week. You'll survive.

[outplayed]

what if i cant go back to sleep afterwards
i rely on this body for my living, you know... it could always all go downhill...

[nintendog]

You're not so frail that half an hour or so would kill you.

( she refuses to believe it. )

Besides! What if that's the only time I'm free for the next month or something?

[outplayed]

you dont know that
also, why would you only be free at like 2am? go to bed yourself at that point, honestly

[nintendog]

Could be, though! You don't know that either!

They call me in at odd hours sometimes, which they can't really control if it's an emergency, and I don't like to wait if we have a lead from the broker.

( she's also! a little busy body! which he knows. she can't help that her lulls are at stupid hours and she wants to hang out. )

But you're right. I can just go to bed and keep a tally instead of how many times I have to kick your ass.

[outplayed]

okay yay
then you can deliver all of the asskickings at once, very efficient

[ he likes that idea, actually. ]

well, i wake up early, so if you need company at like 5:30 in the morning i can do that...
