Hey y'all. Just wanted to remind you that we're hosting the first Summit Council meeting here at Prescott a week from today. Anyone who wants to speak on a topic has the floor for five minutes, but you do get points for brevity. We all gotta sit through everyone's. If anyone has talking points in mind already, might be a good idea to coordinate and match up with other people and work on presentations together. [...] As a secondary reminder we are supposed to be on the issue of creating a government of sorts, but we won't be moderating topics ahead of time.

Semi-relatedly we're doing food pot luck style if anyone wants to say what they're bringing.

I got the truck back, by the way. Good hiding spot.

I'm gonna need you to not put stuff like that out there for the universe to see as a suggestion, bud. how about you knock on some wood or throw some salt real quick, though?

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

Sorry, gallows humor. Bad habit.

Niko/Court

[castnet]

no need to apologize. I get it just makes me antsy

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

Sorry. Do you have a speech figured out for the town hall thing?

Niko/Court

[castnet]

I've got a few ideas that I need some help stringing together into an actual cohesive bit? if only there was someone of doctor-level intelligence that could hear it out and give me some feedback, woe

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

Psssh you're smarter than me, 'cause you didn't become a doctor.

Niko/Court

[castnet]

I think we can both agree we would have probably looked elsewhere if we knew the true costs of our careers.

[...] you doing okay there, doc?

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

Well, you know what they say about hindsight being 20/20.

Consumed with guilt about being a bad dad, but what else is new?

Niko/Court

[castnet]

Fuckers.

[...] did something happen with Z?

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

I think I just freaked her out a little, not coming home. On top of everything else I've fucked up.

Niko/Court

[castnet]

When's the last time you did something just the two of you?

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

Too long. I'm a piece of shit.

Niko/Court

[castnet]

why not ask her to go do... something soon. even if it's picking up an extra patrol, just the two of you. I'm sure she'd appreciate it... and it'd probably do you good too.

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

That's a good idea.

I just wish I could stop disappointing her.

Niko/Court

[castnet]

why not start trying to be the dad you want to be now? I know I'm just a bystander in y'all's life, but doubt Z has decided to completely shut you out, Niko.

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

I know, I know, I know.

[...] It's fine. I'll try to make it up to her agai.

Niko/Court

[castnet]

oh Niko anything I can do to help? with this or anything else you've got on your plate right now? I'm serious, let me do some of the dumb shit for you.

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

I'm okay, I just need the world to not implode for a day or two so that I can get my shit together.

Niko/Court

[castnet]

working on it, bud 🫂

deep breaths until then, okay?

Niko/Court

[trustmeimadoctor]

On it, bud.
