BREAKS THIS SUCKER IN also sometime after meido fiasco, text

[youwillrot]

[...Sephiroth supposes he can't avoid this forever. It's not guilt that drives him to reach out to her, or really any form of sympathy, since she'd neither want it nor appreciate it. Instead, it's curiosity, as to what managed to dull such a fierce wolf's fangs, if only briefly.]

You didn't show up for your shift yesterday.

Have an explanation for me?

The cherry has been popped; responds some hours after receipt.

[allbite]

[ She's stretching Sephiroth's lenience, making him wait even longer for an answer, but she was occupied both with her own drug-induced selfishness and her sleeping. Light, incomplete, but at least without too-sensitive haunts. Her chest feels as hollow as her stomach; her mind is just catching up with reality, with words and their implications. She has a glass of water when she responds, choosing to "type" instead if speak. Better. He might criticize her again--not that he isn't already, surely. ]

What can I say that you'll believe?

[youwillrot]

I'm not going to fire you. And I know you still want your job.

[So perhaps less judgmental than she assumed, or else smart enough to know he won't get any flies with the vinegar he threw around last time. He's being more cautious and, maybe, just maybe, a little more understanding.

But mostly curious, he'll insist.]

What's going on?

[allbite]

I was - [ Assaulted? Raped, abused, beaten to unconsciousness ; tested, manipulated, reintegrated; and then some? She doesn't actually remember, still. ] - brought into therapy. Learned a few things. Apologies if serving the city meant a little more than work at Masamune.

cw: rape references/violent imagery

[youwillrot]

They forced themselves on you.

[No need to elaborate. It all clicks together, all at once. Now he's feeling sore, but only because she wouldn't say so upfront. He would've forgiven it. He would've understood.

Stupid, stubborn woman and her stupid, stubborn excuses.]

And you were trying to forget, earlier. Is that it?

[allbite]

No. I was just having a good time, and neither should gifts be wasted.

[ Partially true. The rest she can't put into words. Later, maybe. But right now, she can only speak of what she knows, what she's allowed to feel. ]

Was I that unsightly?

[youwillrot]

The person I saw that day, and the person I knew you to be, were very different.

Will you not discuss what happened?

[allbite]

What more can I discuss? People change, as the saying goes, no?

[ ...no? Ugh. Her head hurts. It isn't the full throbbin side effect from alcohol. Rather, it's piercing, fresh, hostile. A barbed-wire barrier. The feeling isn't all that foreign. Back when her system crumbled, when she questioned, lamented, and was then repurposed. From then. Why?

...she stops trying. Shuts her eyes, relents. Submits. ]

I will change again. I will be better. For you.

[allbite]

Are you bored?

text

[s16]

What ever gave you that idea?

text

[allbite]

You're sending me snails. In symbols.

text

[s16]

It's art. You should be flattered.

text

[allbite]

You're sending it to the wrong audience. I thought you had an idea of what I'm into already.

very early on 7/27.

[labyrinthos]

[The taste of ink is still fresh in his mouth. He writes,]

Hey, are you there?

[allbite]

[ The taste of mint is fresh in her mouth. From the corridors of Masamune, she responds: ]

I'm still working, but yes. What is it.

[labyrinthos]

Why don't you use question marks for your questions?

[allbite]

Because they look too whimsical Ask me your actual question, Kaworu.

[labyrinthos]

Is it permissible to eat paper?

[allbite]

Absolutely not.

Please tell me you didn't eat any already.

[labyrinthos]

Oh.

[...]

What about ink? Is that unsuited for eating?

[allbite]

Ink is toxic to the human body. Neither item is meant to be edible.

Throw it up right now.

8/17, throughout the day. (individual messages separated by several minutes to hours.)

[labyrinthos]

Hey. I wanted to apologize for what I said to you earlier. I wasn't trying to denounce your leadership. If you're going to ask me a question, though, you should be prepared to hear the answer. I'm not going to lie about anything.

I'm sorry, again. I know that you have a lot to deal with right now.

No one is expecting you to handle everything on your own. No one is expecting you to be perfect, either. Perfection doesn't allow for any room to grow.

Frühling?

You're not coming into work today?

Someone is asking to speak with you, but I don't know what to tell him. Where are you?

Are you feeling unwell?

Just tell me if I'm being a nuisance. I'll leave you to yourself, no questions asked.

Frühling?

Frühling?

Frühling? You're still listed on the network's registry. That means you haven't departed from the City, right?

If you decided to leave, I don't know what I would do

Answer me.

Hey, answer me. Don't ignore me.

Your silence is the last thing I want to hear.

Say something already!

If you don't reply soon, I'm going to come and find you.

Campanella?
