[ What's up, network at large? ]

So, after that disaster, I just have a question: Is anyone here from an actually normal, at least relatively not messed up, kind of place?

[ Honestly a serious question. Brought to you by someone from an absolute dumpster fire of a town. ]

Because aside from being home to everything in every HP Lovecraft story apparently, where I'm from is where dreams and ambition go to die, in the makeshift graveyards of its flat lands and corn fields. It's really great if you're looking for a quiet small town to raise a nuclear family and mind the business of everyone except yourself. Oh, and you'd better have an easily malleable attitude about it and enjoy your new home of a suffocating box, otherwise if you show even a hint of personality that doesn't fit into that idea — forget it, you're so screwed.

[ Is someone finally getting mad enough about her own suffocating box? MAYBE SO. This is how she's trying to light it on metaphorical fire. mic drop, truth bombs deployed, et cetera. ]

Which almost makes me wonder if the cosmic horrors are actually worse than everything else about it. [ It should at least be very close. ]

Congratulations, you're my favorite.

[ephemerios]

Yesss. I'll try not to ruin my favorite streak here.

[butterfly_kiss]

I think it would be rather difficult for you. That sunniness is charming in a strange way.

[ephemerios]

Do you need me to bring you sunglasses and sunscreen? [ she thinks it was hilarious, ok ]

[butterfly_kiss]

I've actually mixed up some of the latter for myself. The former aren't needed.

[ephemerios]

Oh, you've totally got this then. prepared for everything.

[butterfly_kiss]

Hardly everything, but I do my best.

[ephemerios]

I feel like that's the important part here. Better than some people. And by some people I mean me.

[butterfly_kiss]

You'll find your way to do your best too. I can already tell.

[ephemerios]

It's going to be figuring it out as I go with like 5 percent of a clue, I can promise you that much. [ but still a hint of amusement in her tone ]

[butterfly_kiss]

It's alright. That's more than some people seem to have already.

[ephemerios]

Sadly, very true.

[butterfly_kiss]

It is. But we'll make it. We're too hard working not to.
