[...it is Jacobi. And it was like two months ago now.
The problem is, it is Jacobi.]
I may have been goading her into trying something on me because I knew if I did she'd get a solid quarter of the Barge on her case for hurting me.
Which Jon noticed, because she was just about at the point of trying to stab me when he took over, so she did stab him. He's fine, obviously, don't go starting a fuss about it.
[But it comes out as a terse snap, which- is definitely not what he's aiming for.
So, he takes a deep breath. Forces himself to calm down before he speaks again, more gently.]
I shouldn't be insulting you over this. I'm sorry.
Look, Misty's entire deal, it. Reminds me of a lot of stuff I thought was behind me. The stalking, interrogations, all that... the accusations I've already done before, twice.
[There's a quiet sigh from him.] I don't want you getting sucked into her bullshit too.
I'm not getting sucked into anything. I just want to know when shit happens to my friends so I can be there for you in the way you told me to be. Not in the crazy, unhinged Jacobi way.
We're friends, Tim. And I can't help you if you don't tell me things like this.
Amazing how being the last known contact for a missing person comes back to bite you.
[He scoffs quietly.] Only about the murder thing. Which I told her in no uncertain terms, if she starts that shit up again I'm throwing her in Zero and telling her warden not to let her out.
Yeah, which was where the idea to rile her up came from in the first place. Not one of my better ones, in that specific circumstance, but telling her off for trying to make the whole thing into a sideshow spectacle felt a lot more justified.

[He's fine. He's just fine. He's definitely not going to go yell at Jon about this later. Never mind that his tone is getting a little heated.]
no subject
Because even graduated you're still you, and you know an awful lot of ways to make someone miserable that wouldn't get you demoted.
Seriously, Jacobi, leave it. It's a non-issue right now.
no subject
[He won't touch Misty; the situation has been handled. But he doesn't like being left out!]
I'll be good.
no subject
[He only believes it a little. But Jacobi's a big boy who he knows can be responsible and he has to have faith in that.]
Look, the only real reason we didn't tell you earlier is because everything Misty does is a huge fucking extravaganza.
[Case in point: his own fucking murder.]
If we made a big deal out of it she'd lap that shit up, and you - no offence - are nothing but big deals, unless we cut you off at the pass.

Got it.

No, you're right, it's not fair that I gave you shit for never opening up just to lock you out later on.
If something does happen again, I'll let you know. Properly. And we can have a good bitch about how stupid it almost definitely is.
no subject
Because that's some creepy shit. Give me someone out and out violent any day over whatever that is.

Is she still hounding you now?

And I would support you in that. I think - uh...everyone would.
