For the sake of proper communication, I will be taking an indeterminate number of days away from my duties at the front desk. All I ask is that you please try and respect the organizational system established, and to reach out with any questions.

I make no promises over the speed or tone of my responses.

To answer the obvious questions in the hopes of not needing to repeat them:

No, this was not intentional.
Yes, Charles is similarly affected.
We expect it to last roughly as long as Charles was in his canine form.
None of your business.

I believe that covers it.

	And like I told Charles, you guys don't get to decide when I dwell or what's too frivolous. If it would ever help, then you and Charles and Wally deserve the choice. All of you. You know why you're struggling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's unspeakably kind, but I'm once again confident saying none of us would want that for you. It would be as though we're the ones hurting you. Yes, it's [...] Emotional interference. I have been far less careful with my emotions here than I have in the past, and it's impacting my work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least it would be for a good cause this time. Then you'll have to adjust to make up for the interference, that's all! Easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You shouldn't have to hurt at all, Monty. I rather thought I was doing that by having Charles help. Unfortunately I don't know if I will be able to separate myself from this situation enough to find success. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to do that anyway, Edwin. It's just that you sound like you're giving up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And we are trying to stop that too! Not about everything. This specific spell may be beyond my means, given the parameters we have to work with. We can ask one of the others to assist, or I can find another method of spell work. But it appears to expect me to be objective about my feelings for Charles, and I do not know if I am capable of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could try it on Wally then? You should be able to be pretty objective about how you feel about him, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Monty/Edwin atechnicality 2025-03-22 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	I could try. If he understands and accepts the risks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. He deserves the choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's never been about that, Monty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Monty/Edwin un_familiar 2025-03-22 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	I know. You don't want to hurt anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Monty/Edwin atechnicality 2025-03-22 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	Especially someone dear to you. Not if there may be a safer option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Monty/Edwin un_familiar 2025-03-22 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	He's a great person. Even if I didn't know him and he wasn't anything to me, he'd be a great person. Not that he's... you know what I mean. He's my friend and I just want him to be safe and happy. (Reply to this) (Parent)
