[punderworldgod]

Retirement is when you can go hog wild on hobbies, but I sure think you can get there before retirement.

[bossyboiler]

I'm certain I could to, should I put my mind to it.

[punderworldgod]

I guess there's no reason to rush anything in Folkmore. Most people don't come in with a countdown.

[bossyboiler]

There's not and speaking of countdowns, how are you doing with the whole not dying thing?

[punderworldgod]

I still get to enjoy your scones, so I'm good.

It's you know... good. What I wanted. I don't really have all the rest figured out.

[bossyboiler]

Always.

There's time to figure all that out.

[punderworldgod]

There's time. [ Baphomet pauses, unsure whether he wants to say the next part. ] I don't want to coast.

[bossyboiler]

What do you want to do?

[punderworldgod]

Live? Make things happen in my life. The writer of my own story.

[ It sounds so dumb. ]

[bossyboiler]

Okay but like specifically, what do you want to do?

[ It's not dumb! She doesn't think he sounds dumb. ]

[punderworldgod]

I don't know. Main thing I've been working on is improving my healing abilities. I did the bodyswap for Viktor back in April, you know? I'd like to help solve more people's health problems. I was also trying to make my bar The Spot a safe place from the trials, but a damn fucking Sphinx showed up at the end of May, so fuck that apparently. Plus I'm analyzing rocks with Jayce. I was going to be an archaeologist back home, but there's a distinct lack of things to dig up here. Literally, no dead!

Those are all... things, but it seems ridiculous none of them mention Tech. I've wanted to have healthy relationships ever since I got here, and Tech's well... Tech. I love him.

[ Why did she have to keep asking? Why did he word vomit? It's terrible. He hits send anyway. ]

[bossyboiler]

[ She reads the word vomit and smiles. She's such a damn mom about it all that the Narration has to sigh. ]

It sounds like you know what you want. Those are all admirable goals. I wish I could help you with the Sphinx but riddles are not my strong suit. Maybe you could enlist Tech's help with it? He's beyond intelligent. It could be a project that you two could work together on?

Have you told Tech that you love him? I know admitting that can feel like leaping off of a tall cliff.

[punderworldgod]

Oh, the Sphinx is gone. It involved getting extremely familiar with a stranger while we spilled our guts so it wouldn't attack. What a way to get to know someone, huh? It undermines the idea of The Spot being safe from the trials, which may well have been the larger point Thirteen was making. I may rule the Underground, but in the end it's all her playground.

That ship has sailed, ma'am. I've told Tech for months. He said it first, I'll admit, by a ways, but I got there.

[bossyboiler]

Oh, yeah? Almost the same thing happened to me. I was tied up to a stranger. Which I know sounds kinky but it wasn't. At first we tried talking and telling intimate things about each other but that didn't work. So. I decided to kiss him and it worked. We were free. The poor guy. He is being so awkward about it but it's not like I used tongue.

That's great to hear.

[punderworldgod]

That was here, not in Hell? Damn, not sure which is more awkward. Thankfully, me and my stranger moved past the awkward to sharing drinks and semi- becoming friends. Did have Thirteen nearly convince someone he and I were soulmates months ago.

I'm such a sap over Tech. I could sicken someone.

[bossyboiler]

That was here. In Hell, we might have been made to torture one another to get free. A kiss is nothing. I mean a kiss shouldn't be nothing. Ugh. I miss kissing. =\ Anyway. I'm rambling.

I think it's sweet.

[punderworldgod]

Oh ho, the mom needs a date. You should get out there. You never know who you'll find. I mean, look at Tech. I never expected to find someone like him.

[bossyboiler]

I don't need a date. I just need someone to snuggle and make out with for a few minutes and then I'll be good. [ Maybe some heavy petting. Maybe. ] I don't know about getting out there. I might be terrified about what I find.

I'm glad you two found each other.

[punderworldgod]

Netflix and chill, got it. Is there anything you're looking for in a snuggle partner besides being good at kissing? Which, I'll admit, I can't really test for you. [ He stares at the word terrified and gets it. He too was terrified, half expecting bad shit to happen at any time or people to hate him or something. ] It might be terrifying, but it's worth it. And you can get some funny stories along the way.

Never expected a talent show to yield something like that, but daaayum.

[bossyboiler]

No. I mean, I don't need to be set up with anyone. I think it would be a little awkward if my son's boyfriend did that for me. If I find someone, I find them. If I don't I don't.

[ She's gonna change the subject though. ]

Tell me how the two of you met?

[punderworldgod]

You put yourself out there, and I won't have to. [ A threat? A promise? An annoyance? It's Baphomet... ]

In the shortest terms: I got possessed by myself. The other me put on a big number at Kuma Lisa's talent show, and Tech introduced himself. It was only really the first night. I got exorcised not too long after and got to do more than tag along after that. Thank fuck they didn't kiss.

[bossyboiler]

What do you mean by that? [ Baph! What do you mean! BAPH?! ]

How does one get possessed by themselves?

[punderworldgod]

I don't want you to be sad and alone. Oh you may say, Baph, I'm not! I'm good! But you clearly want someone, and you don't have them. You have the power to change that. [ Consider it a prod not to be complacent about it. ]

A different version of me. A better one at standing up for himself, actually, and more open about about dying. He gave Tech the pocketwatch you may have seen him with. God, I was really glad Tech handled 'hey that was me but was not me' well.

[bossyboiler]

I'm not sad! I mean I have my moments but given that I escaped Hell after everything the place put me through, I think I'm allowed those. [ She's gonna say it anyway. ] I don't know what I want if I'm being very honest. There are things that I miss but as for an exact person? I don't know. [ A lie. ]

Did you learn from that experience how to stand up for yourself better?

[punderworldgod]

Everyone has moments of being sad. I wouldn't deprive that of you and a good hot cuppa with rain or fog outside the window. Perfect melancholic hell-free moment. If you don't know what you want, the only way to really figure it out is to go out there and try people on. That'll let you know not this, ooh that, and so on. It's the perfect reason to put yourself out there. Otherwise you could miss out on the right person for you.

It was more of a putting yourself out there thing. Something that's easier, I take it, when you know how to stand up for yourself.

[ Oh wait, did that tie back into the topic about Kate? Well damn, that's surely not on purpose ;) ]
