do you want me to call you joe? it's your name, your call. that's how it should be.

[malta]

I have been called some version of Yusuf for centuries, Joseph is simply the English language equivalent.

If you would like to call me Yusuf, you can, Nicky does still. You met me as Joe, it works the same.

[riskless]

that's not helpful

if you have no preference, i'll stick to joe for now. see what happens.

[ mostly bc that's what andy calls him, so nile will follow her lead for a little while, see if anything feels more natural along the way. ]

[malta]

You knowing was all I wanted. What you do with that is for you to decide.

[riskless]

i can't believe after 900 years you don't have a preference

[malta]

My preference is "not Joey".

If you call me Joey I will stop being friends with you.

[riskless]

jojo?

[malta]

Get out

[riskless]

only one of us was the actual right age for that song

[malta]

I'm 33.

[riskless]

physically

[malta]

[ mentally he is 12 so split the difference ]

Exactly. I'm 33.

[riskless]

but you'll still never have the 13 year old girl experience

[malta]

That has nothing to do with age.

[riskless]

i doubt you were out there listening to jojo in 2004 to the extent my friends and i were

[malta]

You're right but only because I haven't gone back to the states in a couple decades.

[riskless]

you telling me she had no international appeal?

[malta]

Enough that I recognize her one song. Not enough that I saw her in a mall tour in Monaco.

[riskless]

i wonder if she ever made it to europe at all

[malta]

Dream big. Let's imagine she went to Glastonbury.

[riskless]

might be a little too big for her target audience

[malta]

Come on, little river, have some faith.

[riskless]

i feel like you of all people should know the nile is anything but little

[malta]

[ WOW ]

You know I'm not from Egypt, don't you? I'm Maghribi.

One time Nicky tried to pet a Nile crocodile.

[riskless]

forgive me for assuming you had to pass it on the way to jerusalem to kill your boyfriend

that begs the question, if we lose a limb, does it grow back? a croc seems like a bad way to test that out
