[Day 237] Relationship Issues Group Therapy mingle
[The relationships group therapy attendees will all get a message telling them to report to The Winery in Sector 2. Sadly for them the alcohol is locked away, but there is an assortment of food and non-alcoholic beverages along the bar for consumption. Many of the tables have been cleared out and the chairs rearranged into a circle with booths along the edges for more intimate therapeutic discussions.

And don't forget the party favors! The wardens have left some helpful games and activity ideas to get them started. There's a bowl full of folded slips of papers with various questions.]


How many people have you slept with? Do you regret any of them? Why?

How many relationships have you been in? Why do you think that is?

What was your longest relationship? Most serious? Shortest? Most casual?

Why did your last relationship end?

What do you look for in another person?

Are you happy?

Who is your ideal mate?

What was the biggest problem/complication in your previous or current relationship?

What do you need out of a relationship? Sexual experience?

How long have you been single between relationships? Why do you think it was so long/short?

What is the best way to break up with someone?

Do you believe in soul mates? Do you think you have or will meet yours?

Would you rather spend your life with one important person or several acquaintances? Why?

Are there any similarities between the people you've been with? If so, what are they?

Do you have trouble making choices? Give examples.

Do you think with your heart, your head, or your genitalia? Are you satisfied with this behavior?

Do you have trouble relating to people? If so, in what way?


[In addition to the questions there are cards with various prompts. One explains the game, I Never. Another suggests people pair off and roleplay they are in a relationship and then deal with various scenarios like what do to if one partner flirts with someone else or comes home late without calling.]


Who should do the dishes?

When is it appropriate to discuss getting blue bands/having sex?

When should you move in together if ever?

What do you do if you suspect the other is keeping secrets?

What do you say if your partner comes home with a haircut you don't like?

How do you respond if you find your partner crying?

How do you decide how to spend your time together?

Your partner's family doesn't like you. What do you do?

One of you is critically hurt. How does the other respond?

Your friends don't like the person you're with. What do you say to them? What do you say to your partner?

One of you wants sexual relations and the other does not. How do you balance your needs?

How do you communicate your desire for a particular sexual desire to your partner?

It is your partner's birthday. How do you prepare?

At a party your partner leaves you to socialize with others. How does this make you feel and how do you respond?

How do you show your affection?


(OOC: Mingle style. You are not limited to the questions, scenarios, or games listed above. Assume there are more! I recycled a lot of this from last time so if someone was in this group twice they can feel free to notice, but assume there are lots of questions and prompts, so they probably didn't see them all.)

I thought you'd be able to help me gain a little insight on the goings-on behind his sneaky, enigmatic machinations and such. Despite being his best bro, I can't read an inch of him!

He probably don't want you reading an inch of him. Have you tried, I dunno, givin' him a little space for like. Longer than a day maybe?

[ugh that's not going to help jake feel better though goddammittttt make the crying stoppppp

Bro sighs and rubs his temples and then stands up...

and swings his chair around to sit in it backwards, close to Jake. It looks like the big man wants to level with him about something.]

English, listen, I really don't know what his deal is. At first I honestly thought he was fucked over by you but then he jumped me like a dumbass and kept eggin' me on to beat his snotty lil' face in so. It's probably only 'bout himself. Those new memories musta been real shitty cuz the kid hates himself a hell of a lot right now and I dunno what it has to do with takin' it out on you exactly but more than likely he's just being a fuckin' avoidant pussy about something he remembered and he don't wanna fess up about it to you. Shitheaded brat don't know the first goddamn thing about how to behave himself and that ain't your fault at all so no point in blamin' yourself.

You can try to talk to him in another day or two and see what happens, but no more tears til then, aight Jake?

[Jake takes that all in, mulls it over in his head. It makes sense... he had a feeling Dirk was more talk than anything else. And Bro would know Dirk, wouldn't he? Even if he's not Dirk exactly, they have to at least think the same ways, right?

But.

Dirk hating himself is just so sad.

He loves his machinatin' best bro a lot. There's nothing there to hate!!! Dirk's a great guy!!!

He sniffles.]

And if he still doesn't want to see me?

[Bro shakes his head.]

How 'bout we jump that hurdle when it actually happens. I'll be here in the meantime if you need a Dirk fix, kid. I ain't goin' no place.

[Bro makes a face at the nose wiping.]

C'mon, Jake. Don't wipe your nose on your shirt.

[He hands Jake a napkin and shakes his head.]

Yeah, 'course I will. We never did have that date, did we?

[Jake blows his nose into the napkin.]

Consarn it, you're right. We never really did. I guess, uh. We can now? Without any worries?

[He gives him a small, encouraging smile. God these drugs. They make him so fatherly.]

That's right. See, there's a bright side to everything.

You still been stayin' at your apartment?

[It's Jake.

He can't fucking help but smile back.]

Uh, yup. Can't get to sleep as well as I normally can, though. [HE TURNS BRIGHT GREEN EYES TOWARD BRO.]

[D-doki... Bro leans forward a little and puts his hand on the top Jake's head.]

After this thing is over, you can come over to my place and we'll get pizza and watch your blue aliens, alright? And if you wanna stay the night cuz you ain't gettin' enough sleep back home then that's cool with me. Got plenty of room for you.

[squints...jake why are you so excited about being called mr. english??]

Your last name was Harley, so you weren't anything English. I knew you as Grandpa.

[Bro hums thoughtfully at the second question.]

You had a real nice ass for an old fogey. That count?

[Jake blushes and sits on his hands as if that will further hide his plush rump.]

Um.

Did you and other me-

[He blushes some more.]

Good lord, I am working up a sweat. Do you happen to have another napkin for my use?

[He laughs nervously. He wants to know if his relationship with Dirk ~transcended universe lines~]

[Bro freezes like a deer in headlights. It's probably the drugs but he actually feels flustered by that lack of a question. He honestly barely had time to hit on Gramps, barely even saw him when he was in the medium and neither of them were dead, but was that the question? Was the question about his possibly existent feelings and whether or not there were any for Dave's friend's grandfather aka alt universe Jake? Were there?

He slowly hands over another napkin to Jake, mind running at a million miles a second. He takes a long time to respond, but when he does his voice is very flat.]

Didn't really know him.

[God this kid is so cute. Hrrggh. He ruffles Jake's hair.]

I don't see how you couldn't.

[Jake leans into that touch. He likes human touch - craves it. It's really nice. And it kind of reminds him of Grandma.]

You're just pulling my leg. [He trusts people, but sometimes he just doesn't trust Dirks.]

[Bro shakes his head and feels extremely drugged. He pats Jake's cheek affectionately.]

I ain't though.

[oh hey is therapy over?]

You wanna get out of here?

[He glances over at Dirk and sniffs and nods.]

If you'd be so kind.
