My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”

Sounds plausible enough, and given that the Poem relied on the physical surroundings, I agree that it's safe to say that they're around there....somewhere.

I'm thinking one of us. He's not saying anything particularly new.

I kind of wonder if it's just the Jester again, I did mention the last time he popped up in Juliet's blog that if he wanted a lady to trust him, choosing a jester as his moniker may not be the best choice... Not that he paid me any attention whatsoever.

Ah. Well I can see how it would get annoying, having to capitalise the beginning of each and every word you type all the time.

Yea, pretty much. And he seems to only capitalize the ends of his posts. Other than that it's normal.

Well, leave for one hour and Romeo kindly confirms everything I already knew would happen before I could GET MY FRIGGIN COUTERPLAN IN PLACE. *sigh* OK, damage control later. Gotta catch up with all these posts.

After everything you guys somehow got done while I was at Aikido, my BRAIN needs damage control I've got it on hyper mode right now, and speed reading this fast REALLY takes a toll on me. Headaches ho!

Juliet updated and she wants out advice. Before we all run over there, what should we say?

God a part of me just says to let them break up, Romeo's a total dick. But the best way to convince them to return is to have them stay together.

Should we have her confront Romeo? Or Vanessa? Or tell her to play it cool? If this were a friend of mine, I would tell her to make sure she has a calm conversation with him before breaking it off completely. Obviously Romeo is out of line-- but she owes it to herself to get closure.

I doubt heavily that Romeo would give her any closure, by now he's more likely to blow her off completely. I'm not really sure what advice we could give her, but interacting with Romeo probably won't help the situation.

I know exactly what I want to tell her. That Romeo's a creep and she is too good for him.

I'm about to give up on Romeo. He's being so infuriating. I'm very tempted to just leave him here, not to keep him from dying in his story, but simply because I'm tired of dealing with him. I just don't think we can convince him to want to go back to Verona.

But I still care about Juliet, and I just don't want to tell her that she should try to get back together with him. He'll probably just do the same thing again and break her heart more. I don't want to put her through that. I think we should tell her to move on. For now anyway. Maybe later on down the road, we can try again to get them back together. But for now, maybe we should just let Juliet tend to her wounds.

No, if he doesn't want to go back we're forcing him back, to the fictional world at least, though not necessarily his story. We can't risk destabilization if he remains here after the wall is fixed.

I agree mostly, let's just have Juliet distance herself from him for now.

Yeah, I know. But my emotions are high right now. But I think, at least for the short term, Romeo and Juliet should not be together. When we get closer to the point where we have to start sending them back, then we can figure out what to do with Romeo.

Hitting on her no, but if it is ok with the others, I think some words of encouragement may help.

What if a chorus of manly men compliment her and make her feel wanted in this tumultuous time in her life? Would that be so bad? :D (BTW I will take on the burden of being a manly man if that's what it takes. I'll take the bullet for the team. How old is she supposed to be again?)
