i'll pick myself back up like i always have, don't worry
it's just been a very stressful few months. and i think that's putting it lightly.

[nachetanya]

[ Well of course it has, she took it out on Lina last month. ]

To be honest, I've still got a lot of hanging threads myself . . .

But being honest isn't fun! So let's change tracks, come on.

[breakingvoice]

[and yet, the amount of stress Natalia caused is so minuscule. if only Lina knew how to talk about that.]

okay, um. i can try but now that you know i'll be forcing it it doesn't seem as fun as it normally would? if that makes sense.

1/2

[nachetanya]

[ She stares at her screen a moment... ]

The rest of this thread is assumed to be a DM/Inbox thing (but I'm keeping it here for freebies)

[nachetanya]

[ And then shoots Lina a DM ]

Lina. It's dumb of me to ask if you're alright when you had me breathing down your neck, whatever memories you've had, and your sister dying [ Even if she is a bitch ] but let's talk some of it through, okay?

[breakingvoice]

okay. we can do that.

where do you want me to start, because there has been. so much.

[nachetanya]

At whatever you think of first. It feels like we haven't talked serious things since June at least

[breakingvoice]

Clover died.

1/2 actually sorry

[nachetanya]

Yeah, she did

[nachetanya]

[ That's insensitive, she realizes.

... What more can she say.

... She hates Clover. But she didn't at the time. And it's upsetting to Lina and it destroyed Eren. She had felt too awkward to comfort Eren. ... To be honest it probably is as bad or worse for Lina. ]

I was there for some of it.

[breakingvoice]

[she can't say she blames Natalia for that initial reaction. not in the slightest.]

I wasn't.

I ran away before her body hit the ground.

[nachetanya]

You were that close?

[ . . . ]

I meant I made it to that fortress thing and I heard her voice

[breakingvoice]

I rode in on the back of a dragon and i threw Eren at Armaros and as soon as the dragon landed back on the ground i ran home and shut myself in my room and it took me half a week to talk to anyone about it.

[nachetanya]

[ Wow, what ]

It was called Armaros?
Not the point

But I see. That must've been very hard for you

[breakingvoice]

they're called daemons and Two could summon one, too. i can't do it yet and i don't ever want to.

i know she came back to life but i still thought that there would be more time before my family started to have to worry about this. we knew something bad was coming. we just didn't know how bad.

and i know they don't like me talking about that but they don't get a say in it right now.

[nachetanya]

Is it something you don't think you can handle either?

[breakingvoice]

i don't want to think about having to handle it. in a perfect world it wouldn't be an issue. but this isn't a perfect world and maybe one day you'll have to fight two massive water monsters that can shoot energy beams from the faces they don't have.

maybe by then i'll be strong enough to handle their power alone. but if Clover couldn't do it then i don't know who could.

[nachetanya]

[ "Clover isn't that strong" she types right up until she looks at it and then deletes it, ]

Yours are water? They sound like they could really be beautiful.

[breakingvoice]

nothing about daemons is beautiful if this is what they do to people. not even Egregori.

i'm sorry, i'm being negative again.

[nachetanya]

You don't need to apologize for that. I'm a pretty warped person anyway!

Egregori would be yours then?

[breakingvoice]

Egregori is Two's.

i don't know how to summon them yet. the only thing i have that's hers other than memories and my hair and eyes is her strength.

[nachetanya]

Right, that's a good distinction

Lina, I don't think I ever told you my "real" name from the other would, did I?

[breakingvoice]

your real name is Natalia, but no, you didn't.

[nachetanya]

Is it?

Now I'm being negative, but I'm never quite sure

[breakingvoice]

whoever she is, you aren't her. you're you. you wouldn't let me get away with calling myself Two, would you?
