@patrick-flanagan conversation continued from here

Now, he is a fire captain, a half way decent cook and a very good friend. Why?

[drkatjones]

PRIVATE

None of it. I didn't tell them anything you shared with me. I never even told them you and I had ever spoken outside of generic employer/employee interactions. Everything that happened between us, stayed between us, Patrick.

PRIVATE

So what did you share? Because I told you a hell of a lot of things during those moments when it was just you and I. I shared things that I've never shared with anyone else. That's great material right there, especially for that special annual bonus I'm sure you get in the FBI.

No, he's not that bad. We just wanted different things at the time. These days he's actually pretty sweet to me.

[drkatjones]

I had not yet created my account and I just moved back to the city, so quite the welcome for us both, I think. I am sure your son was appropriately distressed and everyone will be understanding after the fact. I'm not sure how they felt during, I would assume most people were on edge and everything annoyed and irritated them. Is he okay now, or does he seem either quieter than usual or louder than usual?

I am not familiar with either of those sports teams. The only local team I know are the Lakers and I'm not entirely sure which sport that is. But it's nice to meet you Asher Rutherford. I'm Dr. Kat Jones but you can just call me Kat, I'm a Psychology Peofessor at PSU, just started this semester. How old is your son?

The university has a lot of faculty, student and even Alumni clubs and teams. You should visit either the Sports Department or, I believe there is an office for Athletic Activities. I'm not sure if they have Ice Hockey though, but they will definitely have Football. Personally, I enjoy paintball and adult laser tag, which is the same as regular laser tag but everyone is 25 years or older. I am trying to find less active hobbies though, so if you have any suggestions let me know.

Of course I create an account for this place to then get no signal and be stuck somewhere for a week. However I am home now after that week and if I met any of you, I do apologise if my son was at anytime annoying or loud or just irritating. However I do appreciate anyone who did try to help keep him calm, I am really grateful. But I now have a son who is begging for a dog.

Anyway for those of you who don't know me, that's cool but I am Asher Rutherford, if you are a sports fan you might know of my dad Arlo Rutherford who was a quarterback for the LA Rams a while ago. Or you might know me as retired Ice Hockey play for the LA Kings. I retired to bring up my son Jasper Rutherford and i am now a sports agent.

If anyone knows of any fun sports clubs like football or hockey or Ice Hockey that i can join just for a bit of fun because I miss playing let me know. If not it's okay let me know what you're interested in doing for fun? I am all about learning new hobbies.

It never would have occurred to me to ask a cafeteria for the produce they can't get through to feed animals. That is very resourceful! Fine, I guess, isn't very descriptive, but you do seem uninjured. I'm just trying to figure out if that air of unease about you is because of the lockdown or something else. I was safe and sound at my place. Well I was safe, maybe not so sound. I don't like feeling like i'm being held captive, even if it is in my own home. You are the second person to say that! I'm obviously Velma, where is Daphne coming from?

Yes! There is this cute little bakery just down the road a couple minutes from the pumpkin patch. They have pumpkin flavored everything and they do full breakfast too!

I was at the PSU cafeteria, picking up vegetables that the lunch ladies put aside for me; y'know, ones they don't end up usin', I feed to the horses, so they don't go to waste. It went...fine, I guess? How 'bout you, Kat, were you safe? Hmm...you're smart but you're also hot, so probably Daphne?

Saturday mornin' sounds great! We can get some breakfast, or somethin'?

[drkatjones]

PRIVATE

I wasn't using sex and love to manipulate information out of you. If I had, I would have shared the nature of our relationship to my team.

PRIVATE

I would've preferred someone else who wasn't manipulating me by using sex and love.

[drkatjones]

PRIVATE

The fact that I was there meant that you were not going to be fine. If it hadn't been me then it would have been someone else and you would have ended up exactly the same, if not worse.

PRIVATE:

At the risk of sounding too much like a Scooby Doo villain, I would've been fine, had you not come and intervened.

[drkatjones]

I could see you being goth and pulling it off. Although, I don't know that I've ever seen a goth not pulling it off. I think confidence and authentic self expression are ingrained into the very essence of the genre/style and those are the two things required to pull anything off. I'm glad it's making it's way back into your wardrobe. Thank you!

I've got some dark academia style clothes, used to be a goth before the uniform, and it's slowly coming back into my wardrobe. Could pull out something a little less practical for the day. I wish you luck, but I'm sure you'll be great.

[drkatjones]

Maybe I can help! What are the options?

That's exciting. I haven't picked out which cosplay I'm going to wear yet.

[drkatjones]

Unfortunately, we are not of like mind on that. I would be very uncomfortable dressing sexy in that environment. And I think you look your best when you are confident and comfortable and I would be neither of those things. But maybe one day that will change.

I suppose that would depend on your definition of lame. Personally, I think so long as you are being true to who you are and aren't hurting anyone in the process, then you'll be okay, but there will always be people who think you're lame, no matter what.

I think the perfect time to be sexy is in front of your students and colleagues. They're all probably used to seeing your dressed all stuffy and professor-like, so wowing them with a whole other side to you would be so fun.

That's good to know. Mm, no, I don't care if people perceive me as lame, I just don't want to be lame. As a newbie, it's so important to find your place among the hierarchy, and while all ecosystems need lame members to function, that's not me.

[drkatjones]

And there is nothing Psychology experts love more than layers. You know what, I did not realize until this moment that he does walk on all fours in the cartoon but then I think about him, he's upright. Interesting. I am sure you will, you are a brilliant mind.

It definitely does. It's also just a cute group costume, so it's very layered. I feel like he should walk around on all fours all day, but did Scooby even do that? I mean, I know he did, but why when I picture Scooby do I picture him walking on his hind legs? Mm, I think the only way I could make a nurse costume unique to what I usually wear would be by covering it in blood... but even that's not an unusual look for me. I'll think of something.

[drkatjones]

That sounds like so much fun. How old are your kids? If you don't mind me asking.

My weekend is far too packed to even consider joining, however me and my children went last weekend and it was absolutely beautiful! We got some pumpkins and did pumpkin carving afterwards.

[drkatjones]

Why don't you stop by my class sometime on Thursday then? And because I don't like to disappoint you, I can maybe show you Daphne later. I do have her costume too.

And I think maybe I have only shown you the best of me. There are plenty of things I do not excel in. Not to say I told you so but I did know that there would be some that would make you proud. A good lawyer has to have a specific kind of confidence to them. The kind that says they've won before they even know the objective or rules to the gam. A confidence you have in abundance. And you should take them on as interns. They can only grow from exposure to you.

Wow, I wasn't expecting you to disappoint me. I do still wanna see it though.

Oh please, I'm sure you're killing the teaching thing. You've been pretty amazing at everything for as long as I've known you. Classes are cool, I guess. I thought all of these kids were gonna suck, but I actually have a few promising ones. Probably because they're just as vindictive as I was at that age, and I love it! They're actually making me consider pulling an Annalise Keating and letting them intern at my firm.

[drkatjones]

That was quite the shake up, pun, surprisingly, not intended. Where did you end up in all of that and how did you do? Sometimes people can get a bit, out of character in situations like that. If you had to guess, who would you think I'd be?

Well, I think we can manage to get you any pumpkin flavored thing your heart desires. So, how about we go after Halloween, maybe Saturday morning. I know you're an early riser and it's usually much quieter at seven o'clock in the morning.

Oh, yeah, Halloween - that's comin' up. I kinda forgot after the whole earthquake thing, and stuff, y'know? Who, from the Scooby gang, would you be goin' as?

I could do with a day out at the pumpkin patch - I love anythin' pumpkin, Kat, it's a weakness of mine, so if I can get my hands on some pumpkin pie, or hell, even a pumpkin spiced latte, I'd be good as gold.

[drkatjones]

I feel like you want me to ask you're not big on Halloween, so I'll just ask, is me asking you that going to result in you trauma dumping?

I ain't never really been big on Halloween but that sounds like you'll have fun with it.

[drkatjones]

I'm not sure, but so long as they can make it work for pictures and one or two tik toks, I think we'll be okay!

Then it sounds like you have your costume.

And when you say twin brother, so you mean a twin with a separate body or a twin that shares your body?

Thats adorable. How on earth are they going to do the mystery van? that are gonna have to be so synchronised.

True that. McConghey in a cape would be so cute.

On Evan is my smarter twin brother. Hes an Elvis impersonator.
