Hello, intrepid Interns. This is just a friendly reminder that your debate on the ethics and dilemmas of time travel is this Wednesday, so you'll want to pay extra attention to your classes on maintaining the timeline, temporal law, and paradox risks in the coming days.

Before I came to work with TEA, I spent over a decade as a Time Bandit, which gives me a unique perspective on these topics. Feel free to ask me anything on this post in the name of research and I'll do my best to answer honestly.

Do you want to play Devil's Advocate or should I? I'm happy to do it but it does feel a little on the nose.

Sébastien & Theun

Do either of you know why Teddy doesn't like Gus?

As stated upthread, I was curious.

CST

[craquelure]

You're not interested in him now, are you.

CST

[boucle]

I think he could use a friend.

CST

[craquelure]

He has a dog.

CST

[boucle]

Human friends.

CST

[craquelure]

Now that we've established you won't be marrying him, I suppose I can support this [...] endeavor.

CST

[theun]

I can't give him a good review as long-term partner material.

CST

[boucle]

I said the word "friend", I think.

CST

[craquelure]

He married Tess. Do they share the "friends-to-marriage" habit? It's something we should keep in mind. I wouldn't be able to deliver a genuine speech at your reception.

"The "friends-to-marriage" habit"?

CST

[craquelure]

"Pattern" would have been a better word.

CST

For most of human history it was incredibly normal to be friendly acquaintances with someone before you developed a romantic attachment to them.

CST

[craquelure]

Yes and for most of human history there have been people who didn't want to attend the wedding.

CST

[boucle]

I'm not going to marry Gus.

CST

[craquelure]

Understood. But you believe he needs a friend. Are you willing to fulfil the role?

CST

[boucle]

Sure. I'm friends with a lot of people who have unpleasant personalities.

CST

[craquelure]

Yes, you've collected us. I've even recently been told that people with unpleasant personalities need companionship. You appear to have received the memo.

CST

[boucle]

Oh no. Who told you that?

CST

[craquelure]

I was dogpiled upon by a gang of do-gooders.

CST

[boucle]

I'm really sorry to hear that. Did you take it to heart?

CST

[craquelure]

No. And to answer your original question, I've already put out hits on Mallory, Teddy, and Benjamin.

CST

[boucle]

Rescind the one on Mallory. I don't want to have to find new roommates.

CST

[craquelure]

We'll move Victoria in.
