Who the hell stole all my pens!? Do you have any idea how much paperwork I'm dealing with right now?

It's no problem, really. It was. I'm sorry I was acting so strangely. I hope I didn't get upset at you... The latter half of the weekend is sort of a blur.

[redwinekindofgirl]

I didn't really notice, I figured you had to have a lot on your plate with what was going on, right?

[librariansheart]

Well, that either means that I didn't, and there's nothing to worry about, or I did and it was so awful for everyone that no one noticed. I suppose it can't be helped, either way.

It was busy... But we survived managed. I'm really, really glad that it was one of the island's stunts that could be reversed. There were too many. People, I mean.

[redwinekindofgirl]

I saw that some people even died. Are they okay?

[Or are they like R...

Legit concerns.]

YOU DO THESE THINGS TO ME ON PURPOSE

[librariansheart]

[....This response takes longer to come back.]

They're fine. There's no sign that the wound was ever there, apparently. I don't know how it worked, but it's a great relief.

ONLY A LITTLE

[redwinekindofgirl]

...
Oh, shit.
Someone you knew?

[librariansheart]

One of my closest friends. It's all right, though. He's all right.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Good. I mean. Yeah, good. I'm glad.

Are you okay?

[librariansheart]

I'm all right. Or I will be. I'll just give it some time. You and R are all right yourselves, yes?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yes, we're fine.
Though I don't think R would have noticed unless parts of him started falling off.

[librariansheart]

[Give her a moment to contemplate that rather alarming mental image...]

[librariansheart]

Ah... Well, I'm very glad that didn't happen. That would have been very traumatizing for him, I expect. Not to mention for you.

[redwinekindofgirl]

I've seen worse...

[librariansheart]

[Well that's a little ominous.]

Um, if you don't mind me asking... Here? Or at home?

[redwinekindofgirl]

At home.
There are more thi

[Backspace.]

There are more people like R than people like me.
And none of them really act like he does.

[librariansheart]

Oh I see. I'm sorry, Miss Julie.

[A minute or so later, a second text.]

Does it seem like a nicer place, here? You don't have to answer! I'm just. This place is a complicated thing. It's interesting to see what other people think of it.

[redwinekindofgirl]

It's.. different.
At least here I never have to worry if I'll have enough food or if I might lose a friend in the next supplies run.
