backdated: wedding day iii

[downswing]

Before her second disappearance, Prassenze ravaged her compartment for a hidden box.

( 'How do you know this, Wangji?' 'Any details?' No. )

Separately, forge or jewellery master begged sought. A trinket for powders.

New arrivals, be welcome.

( ooc: CONTENT WARNING that he is looking to make tokens to hold hell demonic lizard creature ashes, if that creeps anyone out OOCly ;; )

private. | un: slothbaby - I am so sorry..........

Are you okay?? You know people only want little containers like that for powder back home for drugs, right? It's a thing.

I know everything was super awful for a while and now we're in a time loop, but I hope people aren't telling you that's an okay way to handle it. We can find people for you to talk to about what happened back there. Drugs won't fix anything.

Kamala.

You would have smelled opiates on my silks.

she means so well..........................

[cosplayqueen]

Really? Ngl I don't know that much about drugs because you know. Muslim. We're pretty big on clean bodies.

But, not the point. What do you need it for? Because spying on sketchy brides and asking for stuff to hold powders are pretty big cries for help.

Are you sure you're okay???

D-does she?

[downswing]

Only a keepsake.

Nor a woman spied.

she really does :( bless her

[cosplayqueen]

Oh. Well. I want to apologize for assuming the worst, but it came from a place of love so yeah.

Can you at least promise me if you ever have a rough time you will accept a hug and cup of chai so I can worry less about you??? You're just so cool, kind, and mysterious. I worry you're crying in a corner when we're not looking when stuff gets really bad. :(((

[downswing]

You worry I weep in corners.

[cosplayqueen]

It's an expression!!! Also yes. But, in a really metaphorical way. I just know all of this has been a lot. It's gotten to all of us so when you start making cryptic network posts I start to panic about your support system.

You have one, right? Asking for a friend. I am the friend. Please tell me you're not crying in metaphorical corners.

[downswing]

I wish to hold ashes close.

No more. No less.

[cosplayqueen]

Oh! This raises questions too. Like I hope you know that. I feel slightly less worried now.

[downswing]

Merely a tribute.

[cosplayqueen]

Oh that's sweet. Okay, I will stop worrying about you. For now. About you specifically.

We should all probably worry about that time loop thing.

[downswing]

May we worry about you? Fleetingly.

[cosplayqueen]

I mean sure. I feel like that's fair.

[downswing]

How do you fare?

[cosplayqueen]

Uh that's complicated. I guess super burned out? We went through a lot recently. Physically/mentally I still don't feel super great tbh.

Staying with Allison and Five kind of cheered me up. And food. I really missed eating a decent meal 3x a day plus snacks. And you know generally not fighting for my life all the time. The important thing is we're all safe now. I try to keep reminding myself of that when I feel down about stuff.

[downswing]

Children should not know frequent hardship.

[cosplayqueen]

No argument here. I'd like to stop surviving horrible life events and return to normal problems. You know homework. Convincing my teachers I am taking things seriously. Telling my parents that not every stranger is out to get me. You know usual teen girl stuff.

This could be a lot worse. I'd be totally screwed if I didn't have you guys. I keep telling myself that too.

[downswing]

Perhaps you should be among youth. My son.

[cosplayqueen]

I am about to out myself as the worst friend ever.


YOU HAVE A SON???????????? OH MAN, THE STRONG DAD VIBES ARE SUDDENLY MAKING SENSE. HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?? DID YOU TELL ME AND I FORGOT?????? THIS IS WHY I NEED TO ACTUALLY SPEND TIME MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS AROUND YOU OUTSIDE AN APP. (This counts as an app to me.) 😰😱😭

[downswing]

A son. The Heavens have blessed.

Strong. Steadfast. Of honour.

[cosplayqueen]

Alhamdulillah! He sounds great! I'm not surprised since you're pretty awesome yourself. :)

[downswing]

We were blessed by his arrival. A salvation.

[cosplayqueen]

You totally sound like my dad right now. Does this mean you have a wife?? Is she super pretty and elegant too??

[downswing]

A spouse.

He is

( ................pretty, inelegant, and also pretty inelegant. )

alive.

[cosplayqueen]

LOL now you sound like my mom. Are they here?? Have you had a secret husband this whole time?? You're so mysterious! I feel like I know nothing about you other than you're awesome and have a cool wardrobe.
