KnotMyProblem: What does the interdimensional stranger mean by that?

KnotMyProblem: xV, you and Glit knew each other before Glit joined the chat?

xVerity: The short story is, yes.

GlitterDoctor: The long story is that xV fucking hated my guts and probably thought I was going to get him fired

Gwynning: This is for real?

Gwynning: I know the two of you are doctors, but I didn’t know you worked together

xVerity: “Together” might not be the best way to describe it.

GlitterDoctor: He’s right. I was pretty much his boss. That’s not “together”

KnotMyProblem: WAIT

KnotMyProblem: Glit, you were his BOSS?

KnotMyProblem: Aren’t you like sixteen?

GlitterDoctor: That’s charming of you. And slightly creepy. But, no, my youthful good looks are deceptive—I’ve turned twenty-nine a few times now

xVerity: Boss isn’t the right word, either.

GlitterDoctor: Okay, okay. Fine. xV is a very talented medical specialist who was assisting with a medical trial, and I’m an exceptionally skilled physician who just so happens to be on Aurora’s medical ethics committee. I was sent to independently survey the trial to make sure nothing hinkey was going on

GlitterDoctor: So basically xV was my bitch, and I could’ve shut down his little project at any time I wanted

TeenDad2: OMG

TeenDad2: Glit, that’s amazing!

GlitterDoctor: I am pretty awesome, aren’t I?

xVerity: Glit, that’s not how it works, and you know it.

GlitterDoctor: So maybe I’m exaggerating a little. The point is, my job was to make sure nothing untoward happened during the course of the trial. xV just so happens to be one of the doctors I was supervising, and there were some… interesting things that occurred that I probably should have put a stop to

xVerity: It wasn’t that bad.

GlitterDoctor: Oh, really?

GlitterDoctor: Does the word “fiduciary” mean anything to you?

TeenDad2: Don’t mind Glit, xV. He’s just trying to scare you. That word is clearly made up

KnotMyProblem: Why do you guys hate google so much?

TeenDad2: I don’t!

KnotMyProblem: Riiiight

KnotMyProblem: Anyway, this story is starting to get juicy and it’s not even dark and stormy yet. Color me impressed

xVerity: I’m sorry to burst your bubble, Knot, but that’s where the story ends.

xVerity: Glit never “busted” me, and we haven’t worked together since.
