Glad that's over and done with.

Jilly, you were actually tolerable. Come by the lab sometime, and we'll be gay and blow things up.

Vax, you useless bisexual, I heard you died. We need to go have a drink now that you're a member of the club.

	I... Percy, I didn't think you'd pay attention to this conversation. I just... is this a conversation to have in public? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pepperbox 2017-03-19 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	Why wouldn't I pay attention? It is rather painfully public. No. Of course not. Don't worry yourself, Tary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uglycrier 2017-03-19 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure why I thought you weren't paying attention. Oh good. The last thing I want is to admit I've never done anything with anyone in public. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pepperbox 2017-03-19 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	I can't answer that. You do realize you just admitted that publicly, right? Unless you're saying that you've never done anything in public, rather than publicly saying you've never done anything. In which case you're still publicly saying it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I did what? Oh. Oh I just admitted to being a virgin. Didn't I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You did. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It is better to wait until one is ready for that kind of step. There are worse things than not being experienced in that regard.

vax.

Stop cleaning your daggers. I can literally see you doing it.

I'm fine.

	I know. And I will always appreciate that you all stopped her, before she could hurt anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm so glad she didn't get away. She probably could have. Easily. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You're incredibly understanding. I assumed most would laugh. My father would certainly see it as something to be ashamed of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As I said, it is nothing to be embarrassed about.

It is nothing I have not spoken of before on this network, though granted I did not mean to speak of it before, but I did not lose my virginity willingly. It was to a woman who had tortured me when I was a prisoner of the people who killed my family.

There is nothing wrong with waiting, Tary. I often wish I had been able to. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

	percy \| scanlan. pepperbox 2017-03-19 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Vax said the same. I do not care that she suffered. I care that she was gone. That she could not hurt anyone else. That was all that mattered. Besides, from what I've been told, she suffered plenty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	percy \| scanlan. dicklightning 2017-03-19 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	But we could have drawn it out so much longer. Not that it would have been satisfying in the moment either way. But I would have felt better about it now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	percy \| scanlan. pepperbox 2017-03-19 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	It would not change anything. What happened happened. Do not beat yourself up over it. You're the reason she didn't get away. You have no idea how grateful I am for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	percy \| scanlan. dicklightning 2017-03-19 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	~~I'm also the reason she was able to~~ That's something, at least. That it didn't fail a second time. I took a risk given she was able to shake it off the first time, but it was all I had left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Percy.

I'm glad for your honesty but, you realize, you didn't have to tell me any of that, right? We haven't known each other long so you have every right to keep things from me. I'd never want to make you feel uncomfortable or to make you feel like you have to tell me anything. I'm sorry for what happened to you. You deserved so much better.

And I hope Vax and Vex made her pay. Did I get their names right?

	pepperbox 2017-03-19 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Tary. I know that I did not. But I chose to nevertheless. You are my friend and I am learning to be more forthcoming with my friends. And you need not apologize. They did. And you got their names right. Well, as a unit. For all I know you have them backward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uglycrier 2017-03-19 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	I appreciate it. Small steps, Percy. I didn't use those nicknames and I didn't call them Vix and Vox. I believe, however, that Vax is the male and Vex is the scary one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daggerdagger 2017-03-19 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Perfect. It takes most people months to remember that. A little mnemonic device I offer people is that Vex is vexing. It seems to help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uglycrier 2017-03-19 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	Well... I assume the threats helped me remember her name and you're incredibly important to Percy. That sounds like it would! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tary, dear. I have a favor to ask you, since we are such good friends.

It's of a bit of a delicate nature. I'm sure you've noticed that Grog is rather adverse to bathing. The rest of us are not in a position where we can comment on this. Too much time has passed and it is difficult. But you are new to his acquaintance and can therefor provide an outside perspective. He would listen to you in a way I feel he would not with the rest of us.

Would you make the suggestion? As a favor to me. I would be deeply grateful.
