Well, that was a very toddler answer. I thought perhaps you might have been de-aged. Or cursed to give one word answers, but you have disproven that one.

[traumatology]

oh my god.

because there are better ways to spend money. spent it on someone else.

[white_widow]

Excuse you, I get to decide what the best ways to spend my money are. If that means I want to do something silly like buy all my friends outdated technology for Christmas, I am allowed to do so.

[traumatology]

fine if that's what you wanna do. i can't stop you.

get me a roomba.

[white_widow]

Okay. Roomba it is.

[traumatology]

i barely know what a roomba is. i was kidding.

don't get me that. i'll break it.

[white_widow]

Okay, fine, no roomba. You have a few months left to think about what you do want, then.

[traumatology]

the answer will still be nothing.

[white_widow]

Okay, fine, I will come up with something myself.

[traumatology]

you're not going to take no for an answer are you?

[white_widow]

If you can give me a better reason than because (not a reason) or not wanting or needing anything (sounds fake), I will.
But right now it sounds like you not allowing yourself to have nice things or celebrations and I don't think I would be a very good friend if I let that stand.

[traumatology]

my gift can be you buying a gift for yourself.

( can he get away with that? )

[white_widow]

Mm, not that. But I will offer you a different compromise: it can be something that the whole team will use.

[traumatology]

you have something in mind that fits that bill?

[white_widow]

I can think of a few good options, yes.

[traumatology]

gonna tell me what they are?

[white_widow]

That's not how gifts work, you don't get to know ahead of time.

[traumatology]

but it's not solely a gift for me, it's for everyone.

god its not monopoly is it?

[white_widow]

Yes. So no one gets to know what it is.

No, it is definitely not monopoly.

[traumatology]

thank god.

i think we would definitely kill each other if you did that.

[white_widow]

Oh, yes. It would be an absolute bloodbath.

[traumatology]

pretty sure someone would get stabbed with the board.

[white_widow]

And/or made to swallow the pieces and the little houses.

[traumatology]

that'd be fun to experience coming out the other way.

[white_widow]

I'd have to question that definition of fun.
