This mess is not my fault!

[glitterdoc]

I believe you.

[mia_j]

Did someone say it was?

[janee]

Good. Thank you. You’re smart! For agreeing with me....

[janee]

I just wanted to clear the air.

[glitterdoc]

Hey, I may be drunk right now and frankly kind of a gashole sometimes, but you don't get through medical school if you're stupid, especially not if you're a beastformer.

[mia_j]

Oh ok. Good. What're you doing for the holidays?

[janee]

I don’t know. I’m... you’re the only person I’ve seen.

[janee]

What kind of Doctor are you? What’s a beast former?

[mia_j]

You can spend it with me and my friend Wes if you want.

[janee]

Thank you. Yes. I don’t really want to be alone.

[mia_j]

I'll double check with him but I'm sure it won't be a problem.

[janee]

Thank you. You’re- you lasted longer than anyone, since Phoenix.

[mia_j]

A lot of people have moved on. I get it. I may go away for short times but I always come back.

[glitterdoc]

I'm a trauma surgeon.

And a beastformer is someone whose root mode, as opposed to their alt mode, is shaped like an animal.

I'm a Cougaraider. It's a type of beastformer.

[janee]

I know... I just... I always come back too, Mia. Sometimes in the wrong order, or wearing rubber boots. But I will always be your friend.

[janee]

What’s your alt mode shaped like? Oh! I’m Janie! Nice to meet you.

[mia_j]

Thank you. I love you. I know you don't always have control over where or when you go either. Once I knew that, it made it easier.

[janee]

You’d think after a lifetime of starting over, I’d be used to it. I think you’re one of my anchors, some people I always find, no matter what. And you’re a great anchor.

[mia_j]

Starting over that many times sucks.

Flattery will get you invites to more holidays.

[janee]

Yeah. My whole life.

You’re very pretty and kind, but strong as well.

[glitterdoc]

[Glit laughs.]

A cassette tape. Do people even still use those here?

I'm Glit, Janie. It's nice to meet you too.

[He might be sobering up. Just a little.]

[mia_j]

You won't have to start over with me.

Okay, now you're invited for New Years.

[janee]

That depends on what year it is. I like them for some things, but they’re fragile.

...I’m really glad you weren’t talking to me that way.

[glitterdoc]

No. No.

[Glit smiles sheepishly.]

I didn't even know you were in here. I just came in here to vent.

[janee]

I have a habit of showing up where I don’t belong. I like when I end up in kitchens. Do you feel any better?
