I've started singing again. Nothing serious, it's just a couple of nights a week at this little jazz lounge in Freyr, but it's nice to be start doing something so familiar again. And I don't want to get rusty.

So - I don't know - if anyone ever wants to drop by the address is here. [She's switching over to text briefly to type out the lounge's location, then it's back to audio!] It's got some pretty good food and drinks, so it's worth checking out!

[And then her tone turns slightly more awkward, because this is kind of a personal subject.] Oh, and does anyone know if there's anything that's sort of like... books that explain how to write? Stories, I mean. Fake things that are completely one hundred percent not true. I've never done it before, so I don't know if there are specific rules or what.

[What? It's a totally benign request and has nothing to do with a desire to try writing romance-y things about people she may or may not know.]

Hey, what kinds of things should a person expect if she happened to be going on a date with someone and it involved burgers? What should I even wear...?

FEF! COME THE FUCK BACK HERE THIS FUCKIN' INSTANT! I NEEEEEED YOOOOOU!!

 

[A shaky video shows the seatroll frantically running through the park, cape and scarf streaming behind him, quite majestically (he would think later). But right now, he isn't even pondering why for some unfathomable reason he is desperately chasing a duck through a field in the park. A duck he has named Feferi. A duck that he cannot possibly live without and didn't know that couldn't live without until this very moment. But why won't she love him back?! She's so fuckin' fickle!

Maybe he made a mistake naming her after his ex-best friend. A girl who quite literally wants him dead in the worst way.]

[Okay, so the sight of Rapunzel with Pascal is not a strange one, they were already pretty much inseparable, and yes it was true she did often love to paint and cook, and it did take hours to brush her hair. But now, she seems unable to leave her paintbrush for some reason. Almost like she feels scared and vulnerable without it. When she wasn't actually trying to practice her power or just painting for fun, she had her paintbrush behind her ear or clutched in her hand. Around her are more paintings (on paper this time), as she has been going through some art books from the library and trying to copy some of the pictures in them.]

I know back home I...kind of painted a lot. I guess it helped me feel like I was painting over the walls, making them disappear...I don't know, that probably sounds a little silly. But yeah, I just can't seem to just leave my paintbrush in my room for some reason. Even Pascal has noticed it. Which is kind of strange.

[And she knows it, looking a little sheepish as she holds to her frying pan with a weak smile, looking down briefly before glancing back to the bracelet.]


More importantly, I'd been wanting to organize an art group or something? I gather quite a few in my house could probably help with that, in Freyr. And also, if anyone hasn't been to the library yet, it's amazing and has so many books!

[Which. Is kind of a big deal for her, since she had all of three books back in the tower at home.]

[Karkat had become a hermit. A real life, for all intents and purposes, hermit.

He had been in Asgard for about a month, now, and only used his bracelet maybe twice. Mostly because all his friends are assholes. But also because he was afraid to.

is this what depression feels like?

maybe it was because of the nightmares he experienced his first night he entered the city, or maybe it was because the one person he actually wanted to talk to was ignoring him. Either way he hadn't left his room much since Nepeta set his nose a few weeks ago.

He lay on the floor of his block, surrounded by disarray; there was junk everywhere, from food items he had scrounged from mid-night scurries through the empty city. He didn't want to be seen in the dining hall, so he never went, opting to find food off trees or other, probably-not-safety-board-regulated sources. He had taken the sheets off his bed and had made a little nest in the center of the room, wrapping the blankets around him so only his ocular globes poked out from behind the fabric. Underneath, he wore nothing but his boxers, because it was hot under all the blankets, but he didn't want to sacrifice the safety of his little cocoon. Other things; papers, garbage, a random hairbrush, and some movies he had 'borrowed', were strewn around as well. Not that he had a TV to watch the movies, but he liked to read the backs of them and imagine if they were shit or not. They were probably all shit, he decided, but he still hoped 'Human Landon Carter' and 'Human Jaime Sullivan' end up together after all that community service. He also wondered what community service was.

is this what depression feels like?

He was actually getting pretty skinny. He could feel his breathing sack protectors through his skin, and he could imagine the bags under his eyes were worse than ever.

He stared at his bracelet. Though he hadn't contacted anyone in a long time he was still watching. He missed his idiot bestfriends. And his idiot ex-girlfriend-matesprit-person-thing. Terezi. But he was also scared to talk to them. He had looked like such an idiot before, with plans of escape. Of course they couldn't escape. As if he would have been a good enough leader to accomplish the task, anyways.

is this what depression feels like?

Half of him wanted to talk to them. Most of him wanted to say something. But all of him was saying he couldn't possibly.

He really needed a friend, right now.

Rolling onto his stomach, he poked a hand out and grabbed the infernal device of his loathing. It was always within arms reach but always so far away.

Fumbling with hands that shook and bony fingers he typed into the interface,typing a single word and hitting enter before throwing the terrible thing across the block once again.]


HELP.

this is what depression feels like.
