[ They both got their issues, bro. Connor's are way worse..... ]

I can't even imagine. Foggy and I landed an internship at Landman & Zack our last semester and even that was a nightmare once we had to study for the Bar.

[iustitiae]

My professor is kind of a hardass. She expects a lot.

[devilsavocado]

I know the type.

[ DOES HE, THOUGH...? Probably not. ]

Those types are the worst.

[iustitiae]

I mean, it's good to be pushed. Academically.

[devilsavocado]

Yeah, of course. But lots of times they can take it a bit far.

[ OH, MATT, YOU HAVE NO IDEA... ]

Like, you don't need to make students cry to be a professor.

[iustitiae]

I'm not sure academia -- and especially law schools -- support that theory.

[devilsavocado]

Tell me about it.

[ Sometimes you gotta be an asshole to make it, too. ]

[iustitiae]

Whatever, I'm probably going to fail anyway. So maybe this was the best of all possible outcomes of my life.

[devilsavocado]

Seriously? Why? Did something happen?

[ You may seem like a party dude, Connor, but you never gave off slacker vibes... ]

[iustitiae]

Haven't had a lot of time for studying with my work.

[he pauses, unsure how to say the next part without hating himself. its that or mention the murder so he swallows his pride i guess]

Guess the stress has been more than I thought it'd be.

[devilsavocado]

Damn, that must be some job.

[ And even just with his voice, it sounds like that job might be connected to all those issues. ]

Can't you quit?

[iustitiae]

I think I told y ou I'm trying to transfer? But other than that, not really.

[devilsavocado]

The job, I mean. Unless that's the problem?

[ Because generally you can just quit your internship and keep trying... but. That's probably heading towards dangerous territory. Matt quickly changes the subject. ]

Guess it's not worth worrying about, now.

[iustitiae]

It's complicated. I'm working for a professor, she kind of holds my life in her hands, blah blah blah.

[but yeah good he'll take the out.]

Good old cavehell, making things a moot point.

[devilsavocado]

Sounds rough.

[ And like maybe blackmail? But Matt won't comment on that. He gave Connor the out for a reason. ]

Silver linings, right?

[iustitiae]

Yeah, totally. And shitposting without twitter trolls.

[devilsavocado]

Very true. I can actually listen to the comments here unlike back home, so that's an improvement.

[ Matt knows better than to read the comments normally... ]

[iustitiae]

I guess being in a cave convinced people not to be dicks to each other.

[devilsavocado]

Incredible, honestly.

[ He's heard a lot of people. They're usually dicks. ]

[iustitiae]

This is not really the scenario I want to have to go to every time I'm doing a team building exercise.
