time loops
shapeshifting
walking dead
dragons
death at every route

that's the bullshit everyone thinks is the first thing you should know
not 'hi, sorry you're stuck here like the rest of us'
"at least there's alcohol" isn't a comfort
getting caught by magic is an absolute way to die so we're fucked
if the beacons just break why are we trying to find them?
why are they apparently believable?
we're helping the people that kidnapped us
has anyone said no? because i don't want to help them and fall into more magic and death

you want to draw me a picture of someone with magic?
more magic?
god how old are you

[cosplayqueen]

Okay I'm getting the impression magic may be a trigger for you now. Cool. Okay. I can also draw superheroes with no powers if that helps. Or maybe some cool landscapes. It's not really my thing usually, but I can do it when my art teacher screams at me to stop drawing the Avengers!!! :)

I'm sixteen btw.

[pathologise]

of course you are
a drawing isn't going to help
not having everything that got dropped on me dropped on me would help
but not possible
if you want something that'll help: advice
stay away from magic, dead things, dragons
etc

[cosplayqueen]

Yeah my status as the baby of the group isn't a secret. Just wait until you see me in person. People still can't believe I'm a high school student.

But, okay! Advice! At least I think you're asking for it. Now you're getting it anyways.

It's actually really simple: use the network and phone a friend. Spoilers: we're the friend. My world got really weird when I was little like I said, but we actually don't have dragons or the undead there. I had to ask to learn about this stuff. Once you start learning about it, it gets less scary. Start small and branch out.

I get maybe trust isn't your thing, but I am literally the easiest person to ditch here. Seriously all I do is talk about superheroes and cry about how I have no clue what is going on 70% of the time and to please explain stuff to me like I'm an idiot. Everyone still looks out for me anyways. People will have your back if you ask and even if you don't. We're good about that stuff.

For the record? I'm really sorry we broke all of this to you in a sucky way. Everyone means well, but we have a pretty solid track record of finding weird stuff normal at this point. We forget not everyone suddenly got a crash course when they were like 4.

[pathologise]

i'm answering this upside down
so. thanks.
my world has not exactly human stuff in it
wasn't 4 when i found out
i didn't want to find out much either
maybe dragons are a thing there too
i still don't want to ask
do people help you?
real question

( there's a slight nudge towards mom mode which would be more done if she weren't drunk. though the texts would also be massively better too )

[cosplayqueen]

Sorry, I like to talk! And yes. Super great example: I actually arrived here by being fished out of the sea. I don't know how but, I didn't drown and I was down there for a REALLY long time. Actually really scary because I think I was losing who I was down there.

Anyways, this super amazing woman Allison risked her life to rescue me. I didn't even know who I was or where I came from after I got out of the water. She still got me warm clothes and something to eat. She kept me safe until it all came back to me. Her brother always listens to me whenever I have real problems and tries to help. I'm actually staying with them now because things got really bad the last place we went to so yeah. People really help out here. I have so many stories.

[pathologise]

that already sounds nicer than the stories i've heard
not the almost drowning
what's your name?

[cosplayqueen]

Oh did we trauma dump on you?? Yikes.
I'm Kamala! :) What's your name?

[pathologise]

info dump
trauma dump
both mixed together dumps
adrienne.

[cosplayqueen]

Hi, Adrienne. Have you considered eating your feelings? ngl that's my go-to move when I get super overwhelmed.

[pathologise]

i drank them
which i am not recommending
there's also no comfort foods
or they're hidden

[cosplayqueen]

Yeah that's a super no-no for me. I will admit we have a HUGE lack of gyros here. I really like the dates and rice.

[pathologise]

griessgnocchi would be very nice right now

[cosplayqueen]

Is that Italian?? :O We don't have Google here lol.

[pathologise]

swiss.
gnocchi alone is italian
we make it differently

[cosplayqueen]

This is why I miss Google. But, hey! Maybe we can find it wherever we end up next.

[pathologise]

home made is better
it's simple to do
i doubt we're finding home anything soon

[cosplayqueen]

Yeah that's a fair thing to doubt. :( But, maybe we can find the ingredients. Emilia, an awesome person to know too, talked about trying to remake gyros if we could find similar ingredients!

[pathologise]

let me know if you do
i'll try one

[cosplayqueen]

I've got you, girl. ;) Never leave a hungry lady behind is my motto.
