Hopefully. ...I was going to say my asshole tolerance is okay and he's gotten me a few times, but... thinking about it my tolerance is kind of shit, actually.

[abnormalizes]

You're valid though. I think I've only really gotten mad at otherworlders... like twice? And one was the Porty hostage thing, and before that some asshole was like 'it's the people on your world's fault their lives are shit because they aren't willing to almost certainly die trying to rebel against the people oppressing them'.

[wroughtandtempered]

What the fuck.

[ squinting ]

I mean. ...I'd fight, but I know I'm weird about that shit? Nobody should be ashamed of doing what they have to to fucking live.

[ said the girl who just had a heart game entirely about the ways she's fucked herself up to do just that, ]

And victim-blaming's just fucked up, period.

[abnormalizes]

Yeah! Like - obviously I respect people who are willing to fight even when the odds are shit, but sometimes the odds are just really shit.

Anyway. Fuck that guy. But most people haven't been that level of asshole.

[wroughtandtempered]

That's good. No assholes for you.





Unless it's consensual or something.

[abnormalizes]

[Opens her mouth. Closes it.]

On second thought, I think that was a joke and not actually a prompt to talk about kinks?

[wroughtandtempered]

[ shifts a little to pat clumsily at her leg with one paw without looking ]

Just a joke. Kink talk probably shouldn't happen when my head's freshly... shit. Exploded? Imploded?

[abnormalizes]

Probably! I caught myself before starting to ramble, go me, social skills success.

[wroughtandtempered]

You usually do pretty okay.

[abnormalizes]

Thank you! That's good to hear, it's definitely something I think about consciously. People who are just good at social skills without ever thinking about it are like, magic.

[wroughtandtempered]

No fucking kidding. ...I worry about that shit a lot, so.

[abnormalizes]

Well, at least we can sort of relax around each other since we're both not great at this?

[wroughtandtempered]

A no judging zone, yeah.

[abnormalizes]

Works for me.

[scritch scritch scritch]

-Oh, I met your parents? Representations of your parents?

[wroughtandtempered]

Wh— shit, really?

[ blearily considers that ]

Donnie did have his siblings in his head... I guess my parents aren't that weird. ...What'd you think?

[abnormalizes]

Your mom seemed nice! She was very sweet about me falling over myself to try to be polite after belatedly realizing who she was. And your dad was cool? If I hadn't been busy helping I would've loved to talk nerd things with her.

[wroughtandtempered]

... sounds about right.

[ a little wistful. she... definitely feels some way, thinking about them still being enough of a part of her to do things like that. ]

Choco-chan's getting us a shitton of memory share items sometime? If you ever want to see either of them going full nerd, I wouldn't mind using a few for that.

[abnormalizes]

I'd love to sometime. -I could probably show you a memory or two of my parents in exchange, if you wanted.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ hello it's Puppy Dog Eyes Time ]

—if you wouldn't mind? I...

...I know they worked their asses off for you. So it'd be kind of... an honor? ...shit that's kind of sappy, sorry.

[abnormalizes]

Nothing wrong with sappy. I'll pick out one of my favorite bedtime stories from Mom, probably.

[wroughtandtempered]

Cute. ...I'll give you one of the times dad and I had to try to drag mom away from work. For them. And maybe one of my learning sessions with dad.

[abnormalizes]

For Dad I've got... Oh! The time he made me a princess dress for my birthday.

-I also got to see you as a kid in there, and you were adorable, so it seems fair to show you what I looked like when I was little, too.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ wags once— ]

...as a— oh, fuck. Yeah, I'll take that trade? My poor fucking dignity.

[abnormalizes]

Betrayed by your own metaphorical representation of yourself.

[wroughtandtempered]

—oh, I thought it was like. A memory or some shit.

[ though she did get the one of her making dumbass decisions, 14 wasn't that young. ]

That's still kind of embarrassing, but. Probably better?
