Aaron Clarke commented on his status: I get that, sometimes your life or work just get in the way of spending time with family which is such a shame. That sounds great though that you did get to spend some time together. :)
I've never been to the US, let alone New York, so pretty much all I know is what I've seen on Gossip Girl (please don't judge me; Cathy watches it practically 24/7) which I'm guessing isn't really a fair representation?? Though I have a sort of hunch the Upper East Side is a bit like that, in some respects, ha.

Juliet Tancredi added you as a friend.
Juliet Tancredi wrote on your wall: Hey, New Guy! I guess you're prob sick of being called that? Anyways, look, I just wanted to say it was nice to meet you last night at Carter's bar and hey, any colleague/acquaintance/friend of Hannah's is a friend of mine.
Also, the main reason I hit you up was just to say I'm really sorry about the slightly aggressive round of 20 Questions I made you play along with. I just come across a bit strong to new people especially when I've been drinking straight spirits (vodka, ever my downfall) and I promise you I'm not super crazy. (I don't think Han would be friends with me then and if she could get out of the whole blood relation thing as well she prob would. Who wouldn't?)
And this rambling (and maybe still slightly tipsy??) message is just to say... sorry for accosting you, New Guy! And hey, you seem cool, welcome to London.

Aaron Clarke and Juliet Tancredi are now friends.
Aaron Clarke replied to your comment: Hi Jules! It’s Jules, right? I remember you asserting, a tad aggressively, that you preferred being called Jules to Juliet (even though Juliet is a perfectly cool name imo!). ‘New Guy’ isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever been called, in the grand scheme of things, but yeah I prefer just ‘Aaron’, you know my actual name… ;)
It was nice to meet you too, Jules. It’s so weird you happened to be in Carter’s when your cousin was (and us law firm lot were) there – not a bad coincidence but yeah… just weird. :)
As to the apology, look don’t worry, it’s fine. Besides, I’m a fairly open person about some things so… yeah. I just didn’t quite expect to be grilled about my love life myself so insistently in a bar of all places. Felt a bit like telling a stranger my life story, which is not something I’d inflict on anyone, but I figured since it was through the medium of 20 Qs it wasn’t too bad? And I doubt you’re crazy; you didn’t exhibit too many signs of insanity at least. I’m joking, please don’t hurt me.
Anyway… thanks for saying you think I’m cool (nice for the ego there) and for the welcome to London. Hope to see you around some time.

Jason Cullen wrote on your wall: Hey New Guy! So apparently I haven't been the most welcoming of people in the office this past week... which is an absurd suggestion because, hey man, I have no beef with you and if it seems as though I do, I can only apologise that you thought that! Welcome aboard, please store your luggage in the overheard lockers, fasten your seat-belt and prepare for take-off (metaphorically of course).
Be-tee-dubs, it is weird that Jules just happened across us all at Carter's. So weird. Y'know, it's almost as if she knew we'd be there, as though a little birdy told her so she could be all up in the New Guy's grill on their behalf. No. I have no idea what I'm saying, ignore me, she does. :)

(ooc: commencing internal panic!)
Hannah Schwartz wrote on your wall: Jules goes to Carter's all the time! We know the bartenders! She probably just wanted free shots.
Hannah Schwartz sent you a message: I didn't bribe Jason into writing you, I promise!
So, hey. Glad you decided to come out with us! What did Jules say to you She didn't mention I think Jules was kinda drunk Sorry if Jules grilled you. She does it to all new people, I think, just to make sure they're not crazy serial killers or Thor-worshiping golf fans. How Cullen made it past her vetting process, we'll never know... ;)

Aaron Clarke and Jason Cullen are now friends.
Aaron Clarke replied to your comment: No worries, Cullen. I just got a weird vibe off of you I just figured you didn’t like another newbie invading the firm I figured you’ve just been busy this past week! I’m glad to hear you have no beef with me and, hey, likewise, mate. :P
What are you saying Why would Hannah tell her cousin we were- Just one of those weird coincidences but a happy coincidence nonetheless, Jules seems cool. :)
Aaron Clarke sent you a message: Hahaha thanks for the clarification. Idk maybe I just got a weird vibe off him first week or something, it’s bound to happen, new people new places etc. etc. My fault entirely but hey, let’s get past that now. :)
Thanks for inviting me, I had a great time! Jules did grill me a bit but it’s fine, it was just light-hearted and vodka-induced apparently. She kept asking me about my exes and preferences in women personal life which was a bit in-your-face admittedly having only just met her 10 minutes before but she meant well, I figured she was just trying to get to know me through the tried-and-tested medium of 20 Questions! Or, like you said, was checking I didn’t have the potential to turn psycho on all of you. Good news- I think I passed her test! ;) Anyway, you might have seen she apologised but she really needn’t have, I just found it funny tbh. We’re cool.
Aaaalso, I had my final exam today and I’d hate to jinx it with over-confidence but… fingers crossed… I think it went quite well! I should hear back by Friday so if you see me wandering around the office completely on edge this week, you know why.

Hannah Schwartz sent you a message:
What did she ask Good! :)
I know this is asking the impossible, but... try not to think about it too much until then? Think about the fact that we're on for drinks no matter what! I mean... we're still on for drinks, right
Who would you like to be grilled by this time? My dad, my step-brother, my dentist...? ;)

Aaron Clarke sent you a message: I think Jules is pretty cool, she was just looking out for you the whole office, checking I don't have the potential to go all crazy on you. She kept mentioning Thor... ?? Idk!
It is the impossible you're asking but I'll try! Definitely, of course we're still on for Friday night! :)
Meeting the family now? No pressure. Well... I've met Rory before and, no offence to him but, I don't think he'd be the master interviewer that Jules was. Your dad is... Ira Schwartz, right? As in... the. Ira. Schwartz. Y'know I would honestly rather face another highly-personal grilling from Jules rather than go up against your father.

Hannah Schwartz sent you a message: Oh! Haha, that's just an inside joke. We saw the film a while back. By the way, do you think he's attractive...
Rory is more Loose Women, less Frost/Nixon. (It's not a perfect analogy.) And my dad's not quite as scary as everyone thinks! I mean... he mostly shouts at the TV.
But okay, dentist it is! Remember to floss.

Aaron Clarke sent you a message: Oh, good! I felt as though liking Thor somehow meant I scored +2 points on the ‘potential to go crazy’ system that Jules was following… well actually it was a ‘system’ that seemed to go out of the window after the first two questions. :P Just fyi, I’m more of an Iron Man kind of guy – extremely cool suit, interesting premise (I mean he’s not magical or a mutant, just a super smart and rich guy), cool cars, Gwyneth Paltrow…. I mean it’s clearly a winning combo. Not sure where that landed with Jules tbh.
Though it’s not a perfect analogy, I appreciate the analogy all the same! ;) Yeah, your father might not seem scary to you but that’s because he’s your father, believe me… even the thought of going up against him, in conversation even, is extremely intimidating. Analogy-wise, it’d be like being grilled by Paxo on Newsnight.
Oh, Hannah, I always remember to floss! Luckily, I have good teeth too… would that not win me a few points?

Hannah Schwartz sent you a message: Gwyneth is okay in the film, but doesn't she seem a liiiiittle insufferable otherw I'm not an expert on superheroes (don't tell Doug) but Batman was my favourite as a child. The animated series was really well done! And I'm interested to see if a modern Wonder Woman project will ever get off the ground. I secretly hope she ends up exactly like Kate Beaton's version. I really think he's softening with age! It might win you a little baggie of free toothbrushes and mouthwash?

Aaron Clarke sent you a message: I’m sure Doug would be mightily ashamed of you. I, on the other hand, try not to judge or shun others so easily, haha.
See Batman has the same kind of thing which I like about Iron Man, he's not magical or mystical, he's just a really clever and inventive guy. Personally I’m oddly fond of the Batman TV series from the 60s. I’m sorry but any show that seriously includes the phrase “Holy bargain basements, Batman!!” gets my vote. Also, I love Kate Beaton so I’m more than on-board with a modern Wonder Woman project of some description!
Hmm. I’m not convinced, sorry. He’s a legend in legal circles so there’s no way I will ever be able to see Ira Schwartz as soft in any way.
Yippee, just what I’ve always wanted! ;)
Aaron updated his status:
"Aaron Clarke passed the final bar exam!! I can actually call myself a proper lawyer now. Hell to the yeah! :) "

(ooc: PICTURE GEOFF CRACKING HIMSELF UP RN. I apologize for nothing!!)
Geoffrey Freeman sent you a message: Hi there! I assume that by now, Rose has told you the details of our... arrangement?
You know, ever since that room opened up, we've been looking for that special someone to join in our polyamorous relationship. Hitting up Craiglist, putting the word out to friends at the hospital, etc. etc. I'm just glad she finally found someone she really trusts. And, you know, 'kinky threesomes in exchange for rent' isn't a bad deal at all!
Our safe word is 'pamplemousse'. You have excellent teeth, by the way.

((ooc: I love Geoff. That is all.))
Aaron Clarke replied to your message: Heeeey Geoff-face, isn’t it? Rose has well informed me of all the details of the arrangement. I’m just glad you both didn’t have to resort to recruiting the candidate from Craigslist (it is Craigslist after all) and I know Rose from back at Hogwarts so yeah we’ve certainly got a foundation of trust which is good to have with this kind of thing, you know? I’m just thrilled to be given the opportunity; I must admit I’m a newbie at this...
I like the safe word, nice French touch and all. And thank you, what a complimentary and borderline creepy thing to say.
Okay so… seriously now… hi there, it’s nice to meet you! Idk if Rose filled you in but like I’m unbelievably glad she deemed me a suitable flatmate because I was beginning to think I’d be sofa-surfing for years at this point. Also – props to you for that manner of introduction, that takes bravery, my friend. And jsyk I opened that message at work and I have never clicked minimize window as quickly as I did then so well done. (Y)
Look, you and Rose enjoy whatever… stuff you want to get up to, I’ll be in my room, wearing headphones with music full-blast and pretending I’m not even in. Carry on. :)

My subscribers clearly like your voice/face (100,000+ views and I posted this less than a month ago) so we NEED to do more music. You have no choice in this matter, I'll spare you from the comments on the video if you just blindly agree to do more in the future... yes? Yes. Good. Nice doing business with you. :P
