(ooc: Sent around noon, arrived at her desk by magical paper airplane. There were weird little cartoons drawn all around the margins, because it's Doug.)
Hi!
So, okay, we're friends yeah? I mean, it seemed like we agreed to be friends that one time, and then I guess I threw up in front of the Hog's Head and you were totally cool about it.
And you're a woman! Well spotted, Doug, I know. So I was wondering if you could maybe help me look for a nice date outfit after work? I'd owe you one.
I've been told sleeveless jumpers are not a cool look.
Trust me, no one was as surprised about this as I was.
Happy crime-fighting,
Doug

Firstly, thanks for the margin cartoons - they're a nice little insight into the nightmare that is your mind.
Secondly, I don't have much experience with having friends but yeah sure 'friends' is a pretty good label for us... regardless of whether vomit and/or too much booze was involved in the initial decision for us to become so. And I am, in fact, a woman yes so two out of two right so far, Pearson!
In conclusion, I am surprised by both revelations Doug but happy to help with both since I can sense in your tone a level of desperation which suggests dates aren't exactly... crowding your day planner. Besides I have a half-day at work today so I need entertainment.
I know you're a bit oogey about coming to my department so I'll just meet you at yours, about 4-ish good for you?
Happy Werewolf-Counselling! (I know which I'd rather be doing)
-Sarah
((ooc: Another memo sent five mins later.))
I think some of that may have been a tad bitchier than I intended. (I'm sure you're a catch, really.) Anyways I'm sorry, coming across as a bit critical is a natural reflex, second nature if you will. I just forget to turn it off when talking to friends. Sorry.

Sorry, I don't have any clean paper. I'm working on an animation about an alternate-universe London populated with monsters and the social worker tasked with integrating them into society and --
Wait, is this one of those times you'd be rolling your eyes at me if I were standing in front of you? Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Anyway. I go on dates! They just... tend not to turn into second dates. My last meeting ends at 4:30, if that's cool with you?
I happen to think you'd be an excellent werewolf counselor! I've seen you with that little Jonny Quest kid you mentor. And your apology to me felt very sincere, if lacking in cartoons. As the only werewolf counselor I know is me, I can only assume it is a job requirement.

I actually did appreciate the cartoons, for what it's worth! My sarcasm masked a genuine enjoyment.
Roll my eyes at you?! I have no idea what you could possibly mean by that.
I'm sure you do go on dates, I didn't mean to suggest you're some kind of pathetic loser, honest! Did you ever stop to consider, oh I don't know, why they don't turn into second dates? What do you do on first dates that could scare everyone away? (Do I want to know the answer to this?)
Yeah that's fine, I'll be waiting outside the department at 4:40 then.
I think to be a counsellor you have to have some level of tact and sympathy - things which have never been my strong point. But Jonny Quest you say? I like it, I am so stealing that and calling Biermann it at every opportunity. Thanks!
I've never been an artist. And I don't often apologise. So... you know... I did the best I could.
See you at 4:40,
-Sarah

Oh. Okay! Cool. From now on when I write to people, I think I'm going to include a drawing of my facial expression. So the right tone comes across.
LOOK HERE MRS JUDGEY McPATRONISING PANTS. You're supposed to help me pick out a shirt, not the aspects of my personality other people find most off-putting!
(Please see the enclosed drawing of my face to know that I am manufacturing anger for comedic effect!)
It would appear you're under the impression that I don't obsessively re-live everything that happened in my head afterwards to figure out what went wrong, like, what am I, a sane and healthy person??? But yeah, I don't know. I try to plan out really fun stuff to do! I don't feel like I've ever said anything, like, wildly offensive or insulted anyone's grandmother. It's probably just... me. Don't worry about it! Old Dougy Doug will carry on somehow.
Umm, the ONLY thing I have going for me is bleeding-heartism. And like... no actual qualifications or business being here. So it's fully within the realm of possibility.
Wait, are you telling me my nicknames borne out of poor memory are being used for evil?
- Doug
