[pathologise]

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

( she is very drunk and not at all coping with everything she's been told since getting on the train )

that's a pretty shit thing to say

[westviews]

It can be a pretty shit situation. As you've realized.

[pathologise]

then never tell someone 'could be worse'

[westviews]

[Girl, you're gonna have a rough time of it.]

Then I'll say that you're at least with a group of good people.

[For the most part.]

[pathologise]

a group of people who are apparently so well-intentioned they don't think about what dropping a lot of shit on someone might do
that part's the problem

[westviews]

I didn't say they all had tact.

[pathologise]

i think the only person who didn't do that i fucked
the two things aren't related

[westviews]

That's one way to cope.

[pathologise]

that's getting drunk
sex is sex

[westviews]

Try not to make the getting drunk a habit. The things that overwhelm you will still be here after the alcohol is gone.

[pathologise]

that's not new

[westviews]

Just with the addition of dragons and magic.

[pathologise]

also not new
maybe dragons
i don't know

[westviews]

You don't know? How does that work?

[pathologise]

i never asked
i never wanted to know

[westviews]

Ignorance isn't bliss, here. It's a lot, and people should have been gentler when telling you.

But it's better than being surprised.

[pathologise]

can you remind them that???

[westviews]

I'm not their mother.

[pathologise]

you sound more sensible
what would you have told me if i met you before getting dumped on?

[westviews]

Thanks.

I would have tried to get a sense of what "weird" things you've encountered in your life, first of all.

[pathologise]

vampires.
i know there's magic.
and more.
i'm not supposed to know any of it.

[westviews]

Said who?

[pathologise]

the not wanting to get dragged into it?
or die?
not knowing is safer

[westviews]

You're not wrong. It's unavoidable, here. So... at least you're not completely blindsided.

[pathologise]

great???
maybe it'd be more avoidable if we didn't go looking for the dragons
