Cheers.

You're recieving this because someone - several someones - are in desperate need of our help. If this is in your in-box, you know them, and chances are that if you know them, you know exactly why this is being sent out.

Paige, Angelo and Jono need a freaking clue-by-four. I don't know about you guys, but they've been driving me absofrigginlutely insane with their inability to see what they've got and just enjoy it. Amanda, Marie and I have already done a little bit of talking on this subject, and the general concensus was that we need to have an intervention and wake them up, make them stop moping about like their puppy just died, when they've got something good right under their thrice-damned noses. (Jane, I don't know if anybody has gone into the subject with you yet, but Amanda can bring you up to speed on what I'm babbling about - as Paige's roomie, you're in prime position to help us out.)

We need to plan, people. What to say, when to say it, which of them - if not all at once - to say it to.

Suggestions?

Cheers yourself. As previously mentioned, prime target for a talking to should be Paige. Her better thirds can easily be manipulated with the "it's best for Paige" speech. However, a planned talking to is not ideal here. I'm more in favour of a general change of subject during group conversation... not that I'm ever around for those, but you know what I mean.

Bah, you can be around for it. I have faith in you.

I do agree, though. I'm largely asking for help with this because all I can think of to say is "You love them, they love you, so what's the bloody problem?" Somehow, I don't know if that would be a very convincing arguement, but I have to stop myself from making it every time I see any of them.

We need a better arguement than that? Uhoh. Cos, that one worked for me...

And yeah, if you want me there, I'll make sure to show up.

Paige is the most stubborn girl in the world, luv. She's a hard girl to convince. If I can't get her to stop bottling, I think we'll need to make the arguement more convincing. Maybe draw up some graphs or something. Graphs make everything sound more legitimate.

The back-up, I think, would be helpful. You know Paige and Angelo better than I do.

I suppose a good, swift beating is NOT going to work here. I mean, I have resources on polyamory that I can find online but I really don't see anything more convincing than "if it works, sit down and shut up".

I vote for getting them in one general location, then hauling Skin and Jono off for something and getting Paige on the topic. Worst case, we drag the boys back and sit their butts down and tell them to work it out.

This whole idea that this should be any kind of big deal is beyond silly. Who cares how many people are involved as long as they all love each other? Especially for people like us... I mean, we're already breaking the laws of physics, why the hell should we listen to the relationship models of dead white men with a fixation on vicarious immortality and passing their hard-stolen money onto their spermlings? Really. Sheesh.

I'll be there.

Agreed, again. Love is love, regardless of the numbers involved. The mind works to complicate things - not the heart. (God, that was corny.)

Angelo and Jono seem to be getting along just fine lately, so I have no bloody idea what's taking the three of them so long. Maybe there's more going on that I'm not aware of, but if they keep on bottling, nothing will ever change.

Now, to make up for that corny line up top, I think I'm going to go to the gym and hit things until I feel like a proper man again.

Dunno what to say. Or when to say it. But I agree that Paige is probably the key to the puzzle. I'm in to help however I can.

This is about Paige being with Angelo and Paige being with Jono but Angelo and Jono not being with each other, right? That is silly. Whatever I can do to help, I will do!

I say we lock 'em all in a (Jono-proof) room, and don't let them out until they've got a clue.

Hey, it works on sitcoms, right?

I spoke to Rom after the clubbing weekend in Brighton, and she managed to put Ideas in Paige's head at least - she's in a group marriage herself and hates seeing people tie themselves up in knots for no good reason. She said something about Paige discussing it with the boys when they were drunk, which might have been what was happening in their corner Friday night...

I think Paige is starting to get her head round the idea... any one got any clue of how Angelo and Jono would react? From the few times I've talked about it with Ange, the idea of the three of them coming to an arrangement just don't seem to have occurred.

Count me in for any actual bashing of heads together, either real or pretend. ;)

Well, sort of. I don't know if they'd be interested in being together, but they're both interested in being with Paige, and she wants to be with them. So I really don't see what the bloody problem is. It isn't like they don't all get along just fine, when they aren't all going after the Fucking Prince of Darkness crown Jono's got.

You have no idea how tempting that is. They'd probably be too busy trying to get out of the room to bother getting along, though. Mrm.

Really? Rom is? That's.. wow. I can see why. The woman has presence. (Alright, now that I've thoroughly squicked you, sister-dear..) Remind me to thank her for giving Paige ideas.

If Paige has it in her head already, maybe we should focus on the boys. Angelo seems like an easier sell to me than Jono, but I'll readily admit I don't know Jono all that well. We can give it a shot.

Only for the first several hours. When they'd exhausted themselves with the effort, what else would be left but to talk?

You see? It's a brilliant plan. Oh yes. ;)

Already talked to Sparky. If you really must stick your nose in somewhere, deal with Angelo.

(Didn't we yell at people for being nosy about us way back when? I'm failing to see the difference here, personally. Guess whatever makes you feel better.)

Alright, then.

(I've tried typing a response to this about four times, and can't get it to say what I need it to. So I'll settle for a "Right." and go find some tea to crawl into.)

Squicked? Me? Okay, so Rom's me surrogate mum figure and I know you lot seem to think anyone over the age of thirty don't have sex, ever, but this is the woman who... well, never mind. *evil grin* And yes, she's a nosy article sometimes and she just _had_ to try and stick her oar in when the three of them came by to get me for Brighton.

I'll have a chat with Ange this weekend - I'm being kidnapped by Doc Strange this weekend, to LA, and I'm bringing Ange with me. He needs to get away from the school and stop brooding for five minutes...

Well, when Angelo first told me about his situation with Paige and Jono, I asked him about dating Jono, too, and he said no. But he didn't say that he would mind. I dunno, does that mean anything?

Anyway, I want them all to be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.
