Not your skills, specifically. But last time someone in your department offered me something to “take the edge off”, I lost a week and wrote the backstory for Kevin.
Thanks. I'd be so insulted if you thought I was close to joining in.
:(
Nobody told me it was forbidden. I've been advised not to share certain details in an incredibly threatening manner but overall, I could probably share.
I don't have many reasons to trust people around this place anymore. You're doing a pretty good job convincing me to give you a shot. Keep up the good work.
See that just makes me want to find out more on principle. You've been advised? Threatened? Must be juicy info.
So much for a stress-free work environment. I'll do my best.
Mystery helps keep the fear alive and the fear helps fuel the monsters. And the Director doesn't like when I stop writing. If people knew, they'd bother me too much. It's not that juicy.

Are you sure I can’t give you something to take the edge off?
no subject
Great! Just what I need.
That might make it worse if it knocks me out.
no subject
That wasn’t the plan to begin with.
I just said “take the edge off.”
You doubt my skills?

no subject
Because they’re all idiots.
Guess you learned that lesson the hard way. ;)
Kevin’s really intense.
I’m sorry he happened.
no subject
You might be the only one making sense in there.
Don’t you emoji wink at me. It was horrific.
I’m sorry too.
no subject
Finally someone gets it.
I'm trying to lighten the mood. I'm sure it was horrific. :)
Can't you just unwrite him? If the rumors are true and that's literally what you do.
no subject
You're welcome.
That smiley is making it worse.
What? I wish. That's not how it works.
no subject
It is? Damn. Retiring the smiley.
For now. :)
So how does it work then?
Can you tell me or is it a trade secret?
Forbidden knowledge?

Thank you.
That's fair. But I'm not in the stable.
I'm just a nosey busybody with nothing else better to do.
Seriously? Damn.
Oh well.
no subject
Busybody or not, you might tell someone that actually is afraid and then it'll get pissy.
Sorry. :/
no subject
Bullshit.
I know how to keep a secret.
I work here, don't I?
It's okay. I'll get over the disappointment eventually.
no subject
True.
You'd have to ask the right questions. I can't just tell you everything for no reason.
Cool. Am I going to get over this panic-attack?
