[despair just texts back for now, asshole that they are.]

I would say that is something of an over-simplification. They must indulge in despair, but they need not be sad at all times, no.

[fluffier]

MY FRIEND SAID THAT SHE HAS to be sad all the time because she has the DESPAIR TATTOO. I TOLD HER THAT DIDN'T SEEM FAIR IF EVeryone else is having a good time!!

But you're saying I'm right, ain't I?

[probe]

If that is how she is choosing to indulge in it, then she may. I am not saying she should not, necessarily-- only that it would not be mandatory for all who bear my mark.

[fluffier]

[ not quite the answer she wants ]

Then what else is there? Making someone else miserable?

[probe]

That is certainly an option, yes.

[fluffier]

[ unsure noise ]

Ain't there any non-miserable options?

[probe]

If your friend can come up with them, I suppose so. I do encourage creativity, personally.

Apathy is something of an option as well.

[fluffier]

[ apathy doesn't sound fun either... ]

Can't ya say something encouraging?

[probe]

Ah, is this not reassurance enough for you? And here I thought it would be quite comforting.

[fluffier]

I don't know what part of that is supposed to be comforting...

But fine! I'll think of something myself then.

Do try to take things at face value less often. There is no way to convey sarcasm via text.

Good luck seeking your own answers, then.
