[ 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. ]

There is this place.

[A place where she can see Chrissy, and Max isn't in a coma, and Eddie is alive. Small things that add up to a lot.]

Yeah, when it's not following. Which was so bullshit. But hey, I reinforced my throwing arm, right?

[ephemerios]

[ small things really do add up. for better or worse, but thankfully at least in this case, it's for better. ]

Your throwing arm will be unstoppable now, so watch out, everyone. [ She nods slightly. ] Remind me to hide behind you next time if that happens again. [ mostly joking. ]

this one might be approaching a good wrap point

[work_wife]

Hide behind me?

[Robin looks really flustered by that statement.]

Uh, you might be better with Steve for that. He's really good at fighting.

yep!

[ephemerios]

What? You just said it! And nope, no take-backs, I'll take a reinforced throwing arm over a bat if I had a choice. [ this seems like better logic to her ok. ]

[work_wife]

Yeah, I guess. Because I'm further back. But if it comes up again, I'll do my best to help protect you.

[Because in her books it's as simple as that.]
