Bill you should take lanette out for lunch

Oh, I do.

Platonically.

Whenever he feels guilty about doing something incredibly dangerous. —LH

That’s not true! Sometimes I only pretend I’m guilty, but actually, I just want to discuss our research. —Bill

And by research, you mean our shared interests, how we’re doing, and anything else besides our actual jobs? —LH

…sociological research. —Bill

I’d figure that the geographic distance would make relationships a bit harder.

You’d be surprised, anonymous. Many of us already dislike face-to-face interactions, so instead, if it happens, relationships such as those are done mostly online. And believe me when I say they’re not that much better or less dramatic than face-to-face breakups. Not at all.

I see you’re ignoring the code. —LH

i certainly am —Bill

Come on, Bill. It’s a compliment. 🙂 —LH

ああああああああああああああ。。。 —Bill

Time to play devil’s advocate– If you two have to set an example, why not also.. set an example for a healthy relationship?

Sorry, anonymous. I can’t even tell you whether Bill’s trying to be difficult or if he literally is this confused about it. —LH

Bill, don’t add a second cipher to it. That’s rude. —LH

Not again Bill!


Edit:

Bill … care to explain how the internet has a shot of this? —LH

Well, there’s a possibility that the footage from one of the cameras I’d set up saved a backup copy to the cloud, and it was somehow leaked to the general public. Clearly, this means I’ll have to have a word with the other administrators. —Bill

…. —LH

…I was recording a test run of the teleporter for science. —Bill

Are you sure your accidents were actually accidents? —LH

bill for the love of mesprit do you feel any sort of romantic or physical attraction to lanette? if the answer is no you can just say it and spare her the grief !

….

This is a complicated question, though. Do I think Lanette is objectively beautiful, creative, intelligent, and caring (no matter how much she acts like she’s exasperated with me)? Yes. Would I pursue any other relationship besides platonic with her? I’m afraid likely not for several reasons, most importantly because we need to set an example for the other developers, who, as Lanette noted, are barred from dating each other. The last thing we need is quarrels between developers because two of them had a messy falling out. Lanette understands all of this, of course. It’s why we’re able to joke with each other so much.
