第5: esteemed emily #1 (voice)
[The few "letters" Emily has received since graciously offering her services as an advice-giver are, as expected, shit. Hell, two of them aren't even real requests, just her idiot friends being idiots (in the best way, she misses when it was always like this, simple, harmless, fun). The one actually serious one is about as bad as she'd thought she'd get from the hopeless disasters in this cave, so hey. This isn't bad.
Honestly, the hardest part about this is deciding what format to do this in. Finally, on the morning of the 21st, she decides to just get this shit done. At least one idiot out there needs her help. She doesn't want to video this (mostly because she doesn't want to work with the shitty makeup here, come on, she knows what cameras do to you), but text won't convey her message quite well enough, so. Voice it is.]
I'm just going to dive right into this. I got three submissions. I'm going to read them off one at a time and answer each before I go to the next one. These are supposed to be anonymous, so try not to be such assholes that you out someone if you figure out who they are.
Unless they're obviously trolling, which-- well. You'll see.
Here goes.
First up is this fucking gem [heavy is the sarcasm in Esteemed Emily's voice]:
Second, an actual question:
[NOBODY can guess who the local teenage girl hater is, right? Jesus fucking Christ.]
Seriously, I don't know what the fuck to tell you. Like, we all make mistakes, [she's thinking about Mike] but... like why are you conflicted here. He hates you. Was he that good that you want to hate makeout and maybe hatefuck? That's up to you, but if it were me, I would punch him in the balls and move on unless he changes his ways. Please fucking love yourself. Or at least be safe, goddamn.
[Another pause for breath. Christ. Dealing with hopeless people is hard.]
Finally, the best of the litter [again with the sarcasm]:
[Another pause, another sigh, and (if you listen very closely) a very dramatic eyeroll.]
Look, just stop being disasters, all right? There's like five of you that have come to me asking for dating advice already. Just talk to the person you like. If you want to fuck them, ask them. If you want to hold hands, ask them. If you want to just be best goddamn friends with them, ask them.
That's literally it. Stop being morons.
Goddamn.
[End.]

Esteemed Emily,[There's a pause where Emily sighs quietly, but even in the relative silence, it's exceedingly clear how unimpressed she is.] Chris, you're an idiot. You wish I were a nerd, just so you could claim you're cool by association with me. Newsflash: you aren't. Code yourself an app that'll run through some formulas or whatever to help you get the fuck over the fact that you will always and forever be the second nerdiest person I know.
I have a friend who is a total nerd but in complete denial about it, even though she's getting nerdier by the day and soon may surpass even me in the nerd ways. What should I do to help her accept her true self and her destiny?
Signed,
I'm locking my door so don't bother coming down here
Second, an actual question:
So say an opinionated girl made out with the local teenage girl hater. She's fairly conflicted about the whole thing. What should she do?I'm guessing you're a teenage girl, so my first thought is, why the fuck did you make out with someone who hates you? Do you hate yourself too?

hey em i got this friend who likes giving people advice but im clearly better at giving advice i never steer anyone wrongDo I even need to tell you how wrong you are? Idiot. Besides, nobody's stopping you from starting Jolly Josh or whatever. No, you know what? Stick to shitposting. You've got that down to a science.
how do i take her job

offline 1/2, sorry for the internal tl;dr
She is however convinced using the word conflicted was pretty dumb and not exactly accurate. Because the only part to be conflicted about at this point is the regret she didn't slap him faster or more times. And then there's the issue of does she respond at all to the post and if so how?]
2/2 private voice
Conflicted really wasn't the right word for that.
private voice forever
Do I even want to know what the right word is? [Her voice is flat, but not mean. Ai is a friend, after all.]
private voice forever
I should have slapped him harder and more than once. But it's not going to happen again...ever.

[She believes in you, Ai.]

[Ai she is sarting to worry about you honey. Are you okay. You're gonna be okay.]

[God she sounds idiotic and pathetic. It isn't even like she likes Mello, all they do is fight and argue. No real conversation or anything ever. ]
