TM 003 - pretend this is a picture of recollé

Terra Masonshared a photo. 02/25 near Enprise

I like this place. Recollé, I mean. I grew up here, I spent my whole life here. I like how busy it is, I like how the weather changes on a dime, I like the people. Recollé is my home. What I didn’t realize, this whole time, was that it’s more of a prison than a home. A cage. I grew to love it, because I was complacent. Willfully jailed. I didn’t bother looking outside––so I didn’t realize that there was nothing there. This world is too small. I can’t help but feel jealous of everyone that got to get out of here for a little bit. I’m still...stuck. I didn’t realize how much I took the idea of “seeing the world” for granted. Even so, I’m glad that I grew up here. It wasn’t a bad life to live. All in all, I think that I still prefer it to his. Even if it’s not the world that I wanted to live in, it’s a world where magic is real. I just wish...we could all be on the same page. What’s your favorite memory in Recollé? It doesn’t even have to do with the app, just...a nice memory in the city. I’m interested to know. ps. i’m on a top of a building right now, if you wanna hang out i can fly you up here. It’s a nice view.

In that case, you're welcome. I don't mind sharing that part of my history.

We're human, and we can only see as far as we know. We're not perfect. [ Even if she wants to be. ] Getting different perspectives opens up your world whether you like it or not, but hopefully, it'll be for the better.

That's my hope.

[ It's what she wants to hope. ]

[lingeringwill]

to people severely lacking in poise like myself, mostly

I appreciate that

let's do it sometime yeah? we don't even have to dance this time


unless
you really wanted to

[servileness]

Let's do something other than dancing.

I don't mind it, but it's easier to get to know someone doing other activities.

[lingeringwill]

okay. non dancing activities...

we could...go to the aquarium? the planetarium?
get crepes? hiking, peoplewatching...
roller skating? wait no that's kinda like dancing....


bowling??

[servileness]

I like the aquarium and the planetarium. I love hiking.

Rollerskating is fine.

I'll pass on bowling.

[lingeringwill]

looks like we're going on a hike!

somehow I had a feeling you weren't quite a bowling fanatic

[servileness]

Yet you still gave it as an option.

[lingeringwill]

what kind of guy would I be if I tried to judge a book by its clover?

[servileness]

[ ... ]

Like any other guy.

Was that on purpose?

[lingeringwill]

let's call it a beautiful accident

[servileness]

Beautiful is reaching.

But I'll allow it this time.

[lingeringwill]

...what happens to me next time

[servileness]

Why are you saying there will be a next time?

[lingeringwill]

I'm not saying there will be

Just

Hypothetically speaking

were there a next time...

[servileness]

I'd let you stew in shame.
