Never Let Me Go

painting-of-your-fear: Oh dear

GreenSpoons: That's a lovely greeting, stranger. Truly appreciated.

painting-of-your-fear: Oh, you're so welcome. I'm such a charmer.

GreenSpoons: :)
GreenSpoons: I must ask, why 'oh dear'?

painting-of-your-fear: You've been matched with me, duh

GreenSpoons: And you believe that to be a negative thing?

painting-of-your-fear: Oh, 100%. You should run away while you still can.

GreenSpoons: I'd rather not. I've only just settled, and work was tiring.

painting-of-your-fear: Pick a better job then, Greenie.

GreenSpoons: No, I quite enjoy it. Still, the hours can be particularly long. Not to mention, the people can be very exhausting.

painting-of-your-fear: Well you gotta put up with the rain

GreenSpoons: I'm going to assume quite early on that this is not the last quote I will be hearing from you. Particularly with that username.

painting-of-your-fear: You get the reference? Of the username, I mean

GreenSpoons: Macbeth. I do enjoy a good book. Particularly Shakespeare :)

painting-of-your-fear: I like you already. Although that might not be such a great thing, seeing as I get crazier the more I like a person.

GreenSpoons: I'm sure I will be able to cope

painting-of-your-fear: You say that now, but in a couple of days you'll be singing a very different tune

GreenSpoons: I'm very offended by your lack of faith in me

painting-of-your-fear: My most sincere apologies, Greenie. Hope you aren't crying too hard.

GreenSpoons: Define 'too hard'

painting-of-your-fear: uh I'm sure Urban Dictionary would be able to give you an...interesting...answer

GreenSpoons: I'm almost ashamed to admit that this made me laugh

painting-of-your-fear: Oh good, I'm not boring you completely to death. That's a change.

GreenSpoons: On the contrary. You're quite amusing so far.

painting-of-your-fear: You're probably the only person to think that
So what's the story of your username?

GreenSpoons: Green is a colour I'm quite strongly associated with, and I can play the spoons.

painting-of-your-fear: what the fuck is playing the spoons?? Do you just hit them against a glass to make music?? Or do you throw them up in the air and hope they make a decent sound when they come back down?

GreenSpoons: I'm sure you'll be able to find a YouTube video

painting-of-your-fear: You can't just send me a link?

GreenSpoons: I'm tired and that requires too much effort

painting-of-your-fear: Felt that
What time is it where you are?

GreenSpoons: 4.18 am

painting-of-your-fear: Oh awesome, a fellow Brit

GreenSpoons: :)
Why are you still awake?

painting-of-your-fear: Was trying to study but the fucking table lamp is broken

GreenSpoons: Studying at this hour? That does not sound ideal at all

painting-of-your-fear: I don't really sleep well so I might as well try and be productive with my time

GreenSpoons: Please do try to get some rest soon

painting-of-your-fear: Yes, mum 🙄

GreenSpoons: If you're going to use endearments, at least use the correct one. It's 'father'.

painting-of-your-fear: ...I was about to say something Urban Dictionary worthy but then I realised you're probably an adult lmao

GreenSpoons: I am. I'm guessing that you're not quite an adult yet?

painting-of-your-fear: Still 16

GreenSpoons: I see.
Please tell me if I ever cross a boundary of yours. The last thing I want to do is hurt a minor.

painting-of-your-fear: You wouldn't be the first to, sadly. But it's always refreshing to meet someone who isn't an asshole, so thanks.

GreenSpoons: I'm sorry that you've been hurt in the past. Let me know if you would like to talk about that.

painting-of-your-fear: Will do, Greenie.
So what do you do for work?

GreenSpoons: A job that puts me well into the spotlight.

painting-of-your-fear: Gotcha. As long as you're not a stupid politician, it's cool 👍

GreenSpoons: I'm not :)

painting-of-your-fear: So is that why you downloaded this app? To not be recognised for a change?

GreenSpoons: Exactly. To be honest, sometimes I wish life could be a little bit more like this.

painting-of-your-fear: Why??

GreenSpoons: Haven't you ever wanted to be completely anonymous? Known by no one at all?

painting-of-your-fear: Being anonymous is kind of my thing. It's being noticed that's the problem.

GreenSpoons: I see. Why are you on this app?

painting-of-your-fear: I'm bored, and I don't really have anyone to talk to.
Well, I didn't until now.

GreenSpoons: That sounds quite lonely

painting-of-your-fear: Nah, I have Hyde and Lennie and the rest of the gang

GreenSpoons: Books are wonderful, but they can only do so much for a lonely heart.

painting-of-your-fear: They do enough.

GreenSpoons: Have you never wanted a true friend?

painting-of-your-fear: Sure, but I like to prioritise more important things. Studies, my future, etc.
And thanks for asking that fabulous question, it wasn't at all painful.

GreenSpoons: Apologies, painting-of-your-fear.

painting-of-your-fear: That's way too long of a nickname lmao

GreenSpoons: Calling you 'fear' seems wrong

painting-of-your-fear: How's Beth? After Macbeth

GreenSpoons: Alright, Beth. It's nice to meet you.

painting-of-your-fear: You too, Greenie. You too.
