one fish ==> video

[tempus_frangit]

[The video broadcasts a girl who looks preeeetty disoriented, humming tunelessly to herself as she tugs at the brightly colored (and haphazardly cut) strands of her hair]


Hiii. It’s me. Not anyone else.

Just.



Me.


[Her voice is oddly lyrical, it drops and raises intonation in places it shouldn't. Certain syllables are dragged on. She sounds very far-away, dreamy. She waves and gestures to herself grandly, as though expecting applause. Receiving none, she does a little twirl~]



Aaaaaaand. I’m here! Here. But this time I didn’t do it, I didn’t bring myself here. It wasn’t me. It was. Someone else.

It wasn’t my fault.


See. I can do things right too. See! [The girl smiles widely. Obviously this was a huge achievement.]

But um. [She lowers her gaze, voice suddenly somber. Hesitant.]

My doggie. I lost him. Again. And my fish. I don’t have my fish and I can’t make them anymore. I’m going to get lost without them. My fish. And my dog.

Um. [She looks up hopefully, as though expecting the animals to burst out of nowhere.] Do you...do you know. Where they are?

Comments

oh 8c but why?

[tempus_frangit]

Some stuff about making things. Drawing them.

Which, is hard. I was never a very good drawer. I don't close and open that well.

insomniaaaa.

[auditor]

Ah, that one. Are you in Freyr's house?

p-pets 8c

[tempus_frangit]

It doesn't look like a house....

❤

[auditor]

[ ...really literal, aren't you. claudia takes note of it. ]

Ah, what I mean is... [ oh, that's a gesture with her free hand. ] Which god's protection are you under?

[tempus_frangit]

Freyr. [Except she says it like.... fry-year, or something]

[auditor]

[ well, it's either fry year or fear ya... ]

Freya protects me. Our gods are very close, from what I know — brother and sister.

[tempus_frangit]

I have those too. Brothers and sisters I mean. Not gods. They do this thing where they think they know everything but they don't.

[auditor]

My brother is the same. Annoying, isn't it?

[tempus_frangit]

[A sage nod.] They like to think that being older makes you better...er but it doesn't. Not really. It just makes you old.

[auditor]

Oh, they need something to make themselves feel better. When you're old, all you have is bad joints and gray hairs.

[tempus_frangit]

[A giggle] Your brother sounds funny. And old.

[auditor]

[ would you believe she is six years old than him in asgard? ]

Just that! Really, he should sit behind a desk, but he refuses.

[tempus_frangit]

[I don' think she even remembers what comes after six welp]

Does he sit in front of the desk?

[auditor]

[ another reminder that delirium is literal. claudia wonders: what would happen if she just went with it? ]

In front of mine. Unfortunately, he is not made of glass. Gets in my way!

[tempus_frangit]

[Oh lmfao you might regret that Claudia]

Did you try asking him nicely? Like... reeeeally nicely? With cherries even. On top.

[auditor]

[ oops? ]

Cherries on top? Che?

[tempus_frangit]

Um. It's something people normally say with please.

I've never had please before. I wonder what it tastes like with cherries...

[auditor]

[ ... ]

I imagined roses and apples, truthfully.

[tempus_frangit]

Oh. Well. I think it's because... cherries always go on top. Like in um. Those ice creams that come after Saturday.

[She means a sundae orz]

[auditor]

[ she has...no idea what these things are... ]

Ice cream, what is that?

[tempus_frangit]

[CLAUDIA YOU POOR SOUL :<]

Ice cream!! It's nice and cold and good. It has um. Different tastes. Flavors.

You can get them in chocolate or mango or raspberry or all of them at once.

[auditor]

[ ...WHAT IS CHOCOLATE AND MANGO. claudia assumes they aren't imaginary things delirium has made up, though, because she knows what raspberries are. ]

Perhaps I will find these things in Asgard.

[tempus_frangit]

[She might as well have orz]

Oh! I hope you will.

I really do.


I can help. If you want.

[auditor]

I would like that.

[tempus_frangit]

You will, you really really will!

I'll let you try aaaall the best ones! Strawberry and vanilla and um... anything other than green mouse, because that one's yucky.

I promise!
