Are you saying I probably shouldn't let Kate put this idea in my head?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm saying that if you cannot feel confident about yourself with your friends, you must find another outlet. You got this far, Billy, you must know yourself pretty well.

[inmyothertights]

I thought I did. I mean, I do.

But self-doubt is my Achilles heel.

[slightlyoffchilt]

We all have projects that we must consistently work on.

[inmyothertights]

Being the demiurge is no fun if I can't just magically fix my emotional issues.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Isn't that why you hired me?

[inmyothertights]

Yeah but what's the point of being responsible for reality and magic in the multiverse if I keep self-doubting?

I guess in a way that makes you responsible for reality and magic in the multiverse. Congratulations! it's a shitty job.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That's an interesting way to phrase it.

[inmyothertights]

Well, I mean, you're probably not entirely responsible, and I'm pretty sure if Kate and Loki think you're manipulating me somehow, a bashed in face will be the least of your worries, but, yeah.

[slightlyoffchilt]

And what am I to do if I think they're manipulating you somehow?

[inmyothertights]

Well, I mean-

This is all hypothetical, because Kate would never do it and wouldn't let Loki do it, either, but if that were the case, probably call the Avengers.

[slightlyoffchilt]

The Avengers. To include Tony Stark?

[inmyothertights]

I assume if he says "we should kill Billy Kaplan" you'll let me know in advance.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I wouldn't let him hurt you. He's hurt enough people.

[inmyothertights]

Yeah he's a pretty stellar human being.

[slightlyoffchilt]

But as you said, it's only a hypothetical. The likelihood of involving the likes of Tony Stark is remarkably small. I would rather focus more on your personal development.

[inmyothertights]

I hope you weren't too bored without me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I had -- [a huge mess of personal drama and departure] things to occupy me. I'm down one of my favorite patients, however.

[inmyothertights]

I'm just glad that when I go near you an interdimensional parasite doesn't attach itself to you and try to kill me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That's both unappetizing and horrifying.

[inmyothertights]

Welcome to the last year of my life.

[slightlyoffchilt]

The traumatic details deserves a session of its own, I do not doubt.

[inmyothertights]

The past year probably deserves a whole month of sessions on its own.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm glad that you've managed to survive it, then. That's a starting point.

[inmyothertights]

Thanks.
