(11:14:11 PM) Atlas: hey Papa J
(11:14:29 PM) vivelescitoyens: Hello, Atlas.
(11:14:42 PM) Atlas: I just wanted to say something
(11:14:51 PM) vivelescitoyens: Of course. What's on your mind?
(11:15:07 PM) Atlas: more like ask something
(11:15:26 PM) Atlas: Are you going to hate me for this?
(11:15:31 PM) Atlas: I know you know now
(11:15:40 PM) vivelescitoyens: For what?
(11:16:03 PM) Atlas: For letting Jax do this, this Nathan thing.
(11:16:43 PM) vivelescitoyens: Ah.
(11:17:21 PM) vivelescitoyens: I can't be angry that my son cares for someone so much that he would face demons for him.
(11:17:47 PM) Atlas: Kick ass then. Cool. Just checking
(11:18:33 PM) vivelescitoyens: You're going to be okay. You won't be alone for a second.
(11:18:39 PM) vivelescitoyens: You know that, right
(11:18:45 PM) Atlas: I'm not scared
(11:19:15 PM) Atlas: I'm not scared of Hell and I'm not scared of Nathan either
(11:19:29 PM) Atlas: I'm not scared of Indrid Cold or anything
(11:19:35 PM) Atlas: I just wondered if
(11:19:59 PM) Atlas: I was going to have to deal with angry Papas when I got back
(11:20:10 PM) vivelescitoyens: Oh yeah? Well I'm scared. But love casts out all fear. remember that.
(11:20:26 PM) Atlas: you sound like a disney or lifetime movie
(11:20:56 PM) Atlas: and I love my damn sister. If that counts. I'm fucking finding her
(11:21:09 PM) Atlas: even if all I get is one more minute
(11:23:59 PM) vivelescitoyens: I don't sound like Disney, I sound like John 4:18. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear." You have the power on your side, because you act out of love. I trust your reasons, and I know that Jackie does.
(11:25:47 PM) Atlas: I don't think I remember reading that part
(11:26:03 PM) Atlas: it's a long book - I got bored
(11:26:33 PM) vivelescitoyens: Mmm. Maybe you'll read a bit more one day. If it's too much for you to handle at once, stay after work for dinner one night. I like to read to my family.
(11:26:38 PM) vivelescitoyens: It's something of a tradition.
(11:27:05 PM) Atlas: idk man. that sounds a little too partridge family or mormon to me
(11:27:51 PM) vivelescitoyens: If it helps, there's usually dessert and I can always count on someone to interrupt me. Often with something like balloon animals or pop guns.
(11:29:01 PM) Atlas: dessert hmmm. *narrows eyes* Are you bribing me? Did Jackie tell you about my sweet tooth or something?
(11:29:35 PM) vivelescitoyens: Hey, everyone loves dessert. I have the sweetest tooth around. I couldn't go a day without something.
(11:30:33 PM) Atlas: I have my own pop guns. I'm not sure that's worth listening to that book for. but good try.
(11:30:51 PM) Atlas: that book doesn't make sense anyway
(11:30:57 PM) Atlas: it's not written for me
(11:31:05 PM) Atlas: I think I'm deciding to boycott it
(11:31:34 PM) Atlas: every time I read it it just makes me angry
(11:31:43 PM) Atlas: so I don't think that's a good idea
(11:33:48 PM) vivelescitoyens: It's not written for you?
(11:35:15 PM) vivelescitoyens: Atlas, it was written for everyone. Jesus says that God's greatest commandment is to "love thy neighbor as yourself". Who do you think neighbors to humans are?
(11:36:36 PM) Atlas: yeah well. then how come God doesn't follow his own rules?
(11:36:49 PM) vivelescitoyens: Why do you say that?
(11:37:19 PM) Atlas: He loves humans best. He's a hippicrit. He doesn't love them the same as he does himself or anyone else.
(11:45:38 PM) vivelescitoyens: I know it's a difficult contrast to understand, but it's not about best... it's that they're different. They were the last creations made, and I'm sure you've noticed how weak they are? Eyesight, hearing, smell, all terrible. Slow, easily harmed, can't fly, can hardly swim. But the gift they were given was spiritual potential. Their path, self-inflicted, is to learn the knowledge of good and evil. That's why they need to be cared for.
(11:47:08 PM) vivelescitoyens: I wish I could say I knew the purpose of your people, since I'm sure hearing about human purpose doesn't help you. Maybe that's something you should look to in the future. There are ways to find things out, if you can open yourself enough to asking.
(11:49:37 PM) vivelescitoyens: I think what you're asking for isn't whether God loves humans best, if I could guess based on what I used to feel like. It's whether or not God loves you.
(11:49:50 PM) vivelescitoyens: I promise you you won't find that answer in jealousy.
(11:51:06 PM) Atlas: I don't think he gives 2 shits about me actually and humans can quite frankly kiss my dirty ass
(11:51:41 PM) vivelescitoyens: Do you want to hear one of my stupid old stories? My kids used to like them. You might find this relevant.
(11:53:25 PM) Atlas: yeah but your kids probably cared
(11:53:29 PM) Atlas: I don't.
(11:53:38 PM) vivelescitoyens: Well, just listen.
(11:54:04 PM) Atlas: I really just wanted to find out if I was going to have a job after this or not really
(11:54:10 PM) Atlas: you're allowed to stop talking now
(11:54:16 PM) Atlas: if you want
(11:54:21 PM) vivelescitoyens: Do you want to know who you work for?
(11:54:41 PM) Atlas: if I don't will it stop you from signing the checks?
(11:54:43 PM) Atlas: heh
(11:56:07 PM) vivelescitoyens: Hm. Is that what it'd take?
(11:56:28 PM) Atlas: no. actually I just remembered you were giving me cash
(11:56:34 PM) Atlas: so it's all good
(11:56:36 PM) Atlas: :D
(11:56:41 PM) Atlas: right?
(12:01:09 AM) vivelescitoyens: Hah. So eager. Well, I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances to talk.
(12:01:41 AM) Atlas: Dont fire me and I'm sure you'll get your moment in my ear.
(12:01:49 AM) Atlas: Just remember I get mine in yours
(12:01:50 AM) Atlas: hehehe
(12:01:54 AM) Atlas: be ready
(12:02:50 AM) vivelescitoyens: Is that so? You're lucky I hate seeing my children cry.
(12:03:10 AM) Atlas: He would too. He's kind of a cry baby
(12:03:16 AM) Atlas: you don't want that
(12:03:25 AM) Atlas: guess you're stuck with me
(12:04:01 AM) Atlas: plus if you make him cry I'll have to get back at you and something bad will happen
(12:04:11 AM) Atlas: and then you'll want to fire me all over again
(12:04:21 AM) Atlas: so you should just let it go
(12:05:12 AM) vivelescitoyens: I'm not sure it's me you really need to look out for. My temper is nothing.
(12:05:31 AM) Atlas: and who is it you think I need to look out for?
(12:10:11 AM) vivelescitoyens: God bless my impulsive family. If you want to mess around, I hope Jackie approves. That's what the shotgun over my mantle is for. I rarely bring it down for its own sake.
(12:10:51 AM) Atlas: did you just threaten me with a shotgun?
(12:11:08 AM) Atlas: have you seen what I do for a living?
(12:11:22 AM) Atlas: you're barking up the wrong tree with that threat
(12:11:40 AM) vivelescitoyens: Oh yeah? Does it involve a lot of running away?
(12:12:27 AM) Atlas: no I actually stand up and have weaponry thrown at me
(12:12:29 AM) Atlas: on purpose
(12:12:39 AM) Atlas: I actually like it when I get hit
(12:12:51 AM) Atlas: have fun with your threat Papa J
(12:13:02 AM) vivelescitoyens: Impressive. So that's your act?
(12:13:19 AM) Atlas: Yeah, it is. I'm the Target Boy
(12:13:39 AM) Atlas: for an impaling act. I also have whips wacked at me
(12:13:43 AM) Atlas: and guns shot at me
(12:13:49 AM) Atlas: and knives thrown at me
(12:14:15 AM) Atlas: :D
(12:14:21 AM) Atlas: it's awwwwwwwwwesome
(12:14:58 AM) vivelescitoyens: that's very brave.
(12:16:18 AM) Atlas: I am a decently fast healer when it comes to the freak show when I get hit on purpose. but truth is. Im not immortal. it's still a damn risk
(12:16:23 AM) Atlas: and that's the fun of it
(12:16:37 AM) Atlas: when I saw I could get paid to feel that surge
(12:16:44 AM) Atlas: I was in my own motherfucking heaven
(12:18:20 AM) vivelescitoyens: Hmm. behave yourself, and maybe I'll show you my gun collection. You ever stared down the barrel of a genuine Colt M1878? Real vintage 1883, actually used to shoot bandits.
(12:19:34 AM) Atlas: you mean like in old black and white movies?
(12:20:28 AM) vivelescitoyens: I mean like I saw all the black and white movies when they were happening in color and in front of my face. I was a sheriff.
(12:21:20 AM) Atlas: well haven't you just been a do gooder from the start then
(12:21:42 AM) Atlas: have you ever done anything that isnt' about saving the people
(12:21:47 AM) Atlas: and still cool?
(12:25:11 AM) vivelescitoyens: I've done a lot of cool things, but helping people is a frame of mind. There was the time I completely irradiated myself working in nuclear research. But that wouldn't count by your standards because I was keeping other squishier scientists from dying in big balls of cancer. I've also worked on real rocket ships.
(12:28:20 AM) Atlas: What do you mean worked on them?
(12:28:23 AM) Atlas: Fly them?
(12:29:33 AM) vivelescitoyens: I didn't fly them. But I built them. Who do you think taught Jean how to blow things up? We still do it pretty regularly. Next time you're in my house look for the skylight in the living room. That sort of started as a smoldering hole we had to do something about.
(12:32:30 AM) Atlas: I like big bright lights. they're warm. but I don't like getting sucked into them
(12:33:30 AM) vivelescitoyens: Don't worry, i don't think you could catch one of my rockets if you tried. We'll strap you down so you can watch in comfort. Or maybe Jackie will hold on to you.
(12:37:58 AM) Atlas: can I be strapped to a rocket?
(12:38:07 AM) Atlas: do you have any that big?
(12:38:45 AM) vivelescitoyens: No. No I don't.
(12:38:53 AM) Atlas: awww. ok
(12:39:19 AM) Atlas: hey Papa J. I have another question
(12:39:30 AM) vivelescitoyens: Yeah?
(12:40:31 AM) Atlas: well first. did you know I lived in an RV>
(12:40:33 AM) Atlas: ?
(12:40:45 AM) vivelescitoyens: I thought I heard something about that.
(12:40:56 AM) Atlas: well that pretty much means I don't have a yard
(12:41:33 AM) Atlas: I was wondering if I got some equipment I might be able to keep it on your farm
(12:41:44 AM) Atlas: you have lots of room
(12:41:44 AM) vivelescitoyens: What kind of equipment?
(12:46:18 AM) Atlas: well I'm also a hoop artist. I do a little juggling and some other little things with the circus. but I was thinking of expanding that act after talking with some of the acrobats I've been hanging around. I Know my knife throwing act isnt' going to last forever. and I want to make sure I have something that stands on its' own. Soooooooooo i was going to start with a german wheel and add in a few other things as I went along. But acro-equipment is what I mean.
(12:46:37 AM) vivelescitoyens: what's a german wheel?
(12:46:37 AM) Atlas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5B9LbTX
(12:46:46 AM) Atlas: that's the german wheel
(12:47:06 AM) Atlas: I can't fit it in my rv
(12:47:50 AM) vivelescitoyens: Oh, you should definitely talk to my husband. he knows these things. I made him a bird swing a long time ago and he still loves it. He was quite the dancer. Not like this, but.
(12:49:44 AM) Atlas: okaaaaaaaaaay. maybe. but do you think it'd be a big deal if I kept some shit like that there?
(12:50:42 AM) vivelescitoyens: Yeah, you can keep some things. You're really serious about the circus? What are your goals?
(12:52:16 AM) Atlas: to have my own awesome circus that's cooler than cirque de solei
(12:52:34 AM) Atlas: because it will be way edgier
(12:52:41 AM) vivelescitoyens: That's interesting. Do you have a business plan?
(12:52:47 AM) Atlas: no?
(12:54:13 AM) vivelescitoyens: You should see about that. If you have a business plan, you can look for investors. that's how people buy and start really big things like that.
(12:55:08 AM) Atlas: I don't know anything about stuff like that. I just know a lot about the circus. I've been doing this kind of stuff my whole morph
(12:57:57 AM) vivelescitoyens: Mm... well here is what you do. You write down everything you want to do in a report and how much you think it would cost. then, you work up a presentation. That can be you talking about what you want to do, showing videos of your acts, or giving a demonstation. You show that to people who have money and want to fund new businesses. They will usually ask for something in return, like free tickets forever or a percentage of the profit, but in return they'll give you enough money to buy the equipment and hire people.
(12:59:37 AM) Atlas: hm. this is... confusing.
(1:00:12 AM) Atlas: I don't know if I'm good at writing stuff like that
(1:01:59 AM) vivelescitoyens: I'm sure you know someone who is. Have someone write the report for you, and then you can ask someone who's good at video taping things to record you doing an act. Hopefully by then you might have a few other people who will do acts for you, and you can record them too.
(1:02:19 AM) vivelescitoyens: then, you find a businessman who wants to give money to see your business get bigger and get a reward.
(1:05:02 AM) Atlas: I think I need to think about this later. It's hurting my head
(1:06:16 AM) Atlas: the main thing is I'm not fired, no bible readings, you aren't going to be a dick over me doing this shit with Nathan and I can put equipment on your farm. And it was funny you thought shot guns were scary
(1:06:25 AM) Atlas: I'm good with all of that
(1:07:34 AM) vivelescitoyens: Yeah, yeah. You'll be fine.
