"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

Don't flatter yourself. Thinking about your humiliation is not the same as thinking about you.

Unless, of course, your identity begins to adapt to a series of humiliating defeats and that isolating cyst is absorbed into your daily persona. Then that would merit concern, yes.

[ferrisbuellean]

Why am I not surprised that you get off on humiliation? It's ok to admit I'm the face you put behind it, I know I'm irresistable.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You're rather insistent on that. Do you want to be the face? It does, I suppose, proliferate your brand name.

[ferrisbuellean]

And what brand name would that be? Hottest guy on the planet?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Are you feeling insecure? Oh, Jeff. I can accommodate your validation needs when we're on the clock.

[ferrisbuellean]

Cmon Frederick, you know I don't have any insecurities.

[Except all of them.]

All I was after is an evening with your lady, but if that's off the cards, then I guess I'll just settle for tongue wrestling.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Maybe you'll be able to taste the after effects of her boyfriend, too.

[ferrisbuellean]

Oh, ew, gross. Too far, F.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You're the one pursuing a taken woman for, apparently, the attention of her boyfriend. That's the framework.

[ferrisbuellean]

Don't flatter yourself. I'm persuing her because she's hot and she keeps coming onto me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Honestly, Jeff, I thought you were smarter than to fall for her more blatant manipulation. I mean, you at least don't go around calling yourself Star-Lord. I stand corrected.

[ferrisbuellean]

It's not really manipulations when I'm getting something out of it too. It's more like mutual exploitation. Pretty much what you and I have going, except I don't wanna sleep with you.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Useful to know. I feel exactly the same way -- as in, I don't want to sleep with you. It's a pretty predictable scenario, isn't it? Almost like I anticipated your reaction and used it in this dilemma.

Like you said: exploitation. Except without the mutual part, what are you getting out of this again?

[ferrisbuellean]

That's the great thing of getting to know people, Frederick. I don't have to get anything out of our relationship immediately, but I know I'll have the possibility of calling on you whenever I want. It's basic synergy.

[slightlyoffchilt]

What a great perspective, Jeff. I'll be happy to discuss it in length during one of our sessions.

Which you are still obligated to attend.

[ferrisbuellean]

I wouldn't miss the opportunity to see you again. We can discuss it all you want. And maybe we can discuss why you hate sharing.

[slightlyoffchilt]

We won't be discussing that.]

[Jackals don't share!!]

[ferrisbuellean]

[Not even from one sly dog to another?]

Is it her you don't trust or yourself?

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Tempting... But...]

Are you analyzing my motivation, Jeff? And without a couched sedan?

[ferrisbuellean]

I'd never do such a thing, Doc. I'm not the pysch major. My job isn't to judge, merely to defend. And maybe just occasionally accuse.

[slightlyoffchilt]

So I should reframe? What are you accusing me of, exactly?

[ferrisbuellean]

Nothing, except being overly defensive. Maybe one day it'd be nice for us to have a talk where we both learn a few things about each other, that's all. You know. Like a normal conversation.

[slightlyoffchilt]

A normal conversation? In the company of canned beers, and "the game"?

[ferrisbuellean]

You don't exactly strike me as an avid sports viewer.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I have formally referenced "the game", I think that qualifies me for the experiment.
