So then you need a new option.

How did you even get out this time?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Leo and Bucky came and got me.

[He's not going to go into more detail than that.]

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

That worked but others coming by didn't?

We can't rely on just two people for a back up like this.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Other than the pink slime girl, no one else came to the Cube before then. [He means Nanami.]

... I usually have three.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[But she was a tr-]

She used the cube to become a slime?

Alright.

So in other words, you need to make it clear from here on that if you spend a certain amount of time with anything, anyone should pull you out.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Yeah she was a nymph first, but the Cube can do that. Make you look like however you want, so I was making it so I was how I was before I ended up here.

[Hopefully that gives some idea for why he got so obsessed with the place.]

I guess I should do that, yeah.]

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Set a time limit, and a level of force then.

I probably would have pulled you out using water cuffs if it kept up.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

A level of force seems a bit extreme, doesn't it?

... hahaha probably a good thing you didn't have to do that.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

If you don't set a level, people can go overboard without thinking it. It's setting boundaries.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Just not going to say that that is probably a good thing, to not have a limit.]

I see, I guess that's something I will consider.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[that's how people die don

don

don that's-]

You're deflecting again.

[yes he'll call him out now look what happened last time he didn't!]

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[Look. Look.

Maybe he's a little masochistic. Maybe.]

I am not, I am considering your advice if this happens again.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Donatello, when you say 'I'll consider it' or 'I think about it', it's always been when you thought I was wrong and decided to do something else.

I pay attention to that stuff.

If you don't see the point in setting a boundary, maybe think about what it would mean to others. If you said 'do anything', some people will get worried. If you set a limit though, then those people can have peace of mind.

Besides, it shouldn't take maiming to get you away from something like that.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Well I mean it this time!

It's not going to happen again, it's not like there is anything around here aside from the Cube that could probably hold my attention like that anyway.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

That feels just a little like tempt

[Well that's weird he cut off there.

ahem.]

That sounds like pushing your luck.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Well it's not, temptation or luck pushing!

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

Temptation wasn't the exact word I was about to use.

[He'd been about to say tempting fate actually, but then remembered he hates the idea of fate with a roiling passion.]

Is it really so bad, to be prepared even if nothing happens?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

Either way!

[Now you got him riled up, Emporio.]

I'm not saying that I don't want to be prepared, just I don't think a limit needs to be set considering we're all monsters here. The limit will probably be different depending on who is doing the thing anyway.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[He reads that a few times.]

That was the point.

If you're telling people in advance, you can tell each one what you don't want them doing.

Not even just to avoid getting hurt- if something they might try could just make things worse, you can warn them off.

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

But if I'm already hurting people, then they should have the right to hurt me back.

I'd deserve it.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever read.

All that aside I'm not even talking about pure pain.

Unless you want me to use cold water directly against your back to get you to leave something alone?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

I'm emotionally dead inside, Scoots, so that doesn't really work for me.

[He's not, if he was he wouldn't be apologizing.]

And sure, why not? If it works.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

If you're emotionally dead what made you message then.

Emotionally dead means not feeling any emotion at all, you know.

And because for something to actually work it needs to be able to offer something better than whatever you retreated to- otherwise it's more likely to have the opposite effect.

[Speaking from experience at all here?? ...Anyway.]

Let's try looking at this another way.

Why do you think you end up sucked into things that hard in the first place?

<Bootyyyshaker9000>

[soft_shelled]

[He's just... Not going to touch all that, that's emotions and he just doesn't feel like getting into it. So avoiding answering and focusing on what Emporio actually phrased as a question instead!]

I don't know why I do, I mean. I know why with the Cube, because it gave me something I don't have here.

< SPEAKING.IN.TONGUES >

[seacub]

[get back here and face your feelings donboy-]

It's something we can work from though isn't it?

At the very least we know that a similar draw could provide a risk.
