"You obviously have not 'gotten through it' if you've diluted yourself into thinking you are a bad person." I counter.

"Well fine then. What am I supposed to do then? Since I apparently haven't gotten past it?" Four said, frustration and mild hostility evident in her voice.
"I'm onto you...you may have everyone else fooled, but I've got you pegged for what you really are." Rose said, squinting even more, then pointing two fingers at her eyes, then pointing them at Clicky.

OOC: Alright. Just seems kind of strange to have him walk up to her, then walk away when she says she in not okay...Saltyk said:
"You need to get rid of this low self esteem problem. It is not healthy. I'm willing to help you, but I need you to try...again. Because we have already gone through this in the past." I say to Four.
Clicky tilts its head at the "What you really are" comment. It then powers down infront of Rose, entering sleep mode. It makes minimal clicking noises as it sleeps.
OoC: GOOD NIGHT FOLKS!

Riou walks into the ship and finds a place to sleep. Well, that was a bust.
OoC: @Rose It's evil, I say!
@Outis Sorry, I had kinda forgotten the context. Kinda late, tired, and distracted, so I forgot what was said. I was thinking he had asked if she wanted to talk, or something. Just go with he was kinda depressed since Rose didn't wanna talk to him about what was bothering her or something. Yeah, that'll work. /shiftyeyes

"Well what am I supposed to do about that? Just keep saying 'I'm awesome' until I've convinced myself it's true? Because I don't think that'll help anything." Four said, clearly getting more frustrated.
"I've got my eyes on you." Rose said to Clicky as she got up. She walked over to the edge of the ship and started to climb down. Right before she had lowered her head completely she added, "Both of 'em." Then she climbed down the ship and headed to the kitchen, as she had just realized that she was incredibly hungry.

"Who else has called you a terrible person? Did you convince yourself? If so, how? By telling yourself over and over again." I say.
"...So you really are just saying that I have to keep saying 'I'm Awesome' to myself over and over again until I believe it?" Four said, dumbstruck by what Tanner had just suggested.
Rose walked into the kitchen and found Mithas' sandwich. She saw the note and crumpled it up, then tossed it over her shoulder as she cut off a foot of the sandwich and started to eat it.

"No, what I'm saying is telling yourself you suck all the time is not healthy and is directly contributing to your almost nonexistent sense of self worth. So I'm going to say this to you again: Stop, stop, stop, being so hard on yourself. You are going to make mistakes. You are going to hurt people and be hurt by people and do stupid, painful things because that is how normal people live. It does not make you a horrible person, it makes you a person. Do you understand this?" I say.
Four let out a deep sigh. "Sorry Tanner. I guess...I don't know, maybe I'm still new to this whole 'being a person' thing. There's still things I don't really understand. I just figured that every one of my screw ups just made me a worse and worse person. I'm an idiot, aren't I?" Four said gloomily.
"No. You have every reason to think that way, because, like you just said, you don't really have a lot of experience being a person. Just remember. You are not the first person to make mistakes, and you are not the first person to get upset over them. Remember that, for the sake of yourself, and everyone who loves you." I say, getting a little emotional at the end.
"I dunno. Doesn't really matter. So..." I say, hoping things would change for good this time.
OOC: Oh hey, 10042 posts. Cool.
"So...you don't mind if i take off my doctor hat now do you?" I ask Four as I stand.

"Look, I'm sorry. I'll do my best this time, I swear. I know I've said that a bunch of times before, so you probably don't believe me, but I will." Four said, leaning back in her chair and crossing her legs.
"And, uh, I guess not." She added.
OOC: Sorry about the delay, my internets was acting up.

I just smile and lift Four up and out of her seat, holding her up by her backside as I give her a long, gentle kiss.
