POST ✦ ( OLD RAZZLE DAZZLE. )

[caelestialis]

A quick question:

What are the confirmed symptoms for spontaneous combustion?

I remember reading in some books that before some people exploded into flames and died fiery horrible deaths, there were reports of seeing sparks around the person before the combustion occurred.

Is this true or not? I really need to know right now. As in ASAP as in now as in really right now.

In person?

Well, I've been inviting a lot of people into my apartment since telling this on the app. Why not have one more person see me? You can see for yourself the benefits of glitter without the downsides of cleaning it up or finding it on your clothes two weeks later.

Once again, I apologize for not being clear. I'd actually like you to come by my studio. If this is what I think it is, I want to capture the image of it itself.

[caelestialis]

It's my fault as well so don't feel the need to apologise. Shame on me for not asking questions and just jumping to conclusions like that. I'm a teacher, I should always be asking questions.

And to answer yours proper: I see no problem in this. You've been nothing but kind to me since we've first started talking to each other so yes. I'll be happy to see you at your studio for that.

[liberal_arts]

Good! Good. That makes me less nervous about it. I'll forward you the address. Is there a particular time that fits your schedule best?

[caelestialis]

I suppose either today or tomorrow would be good since it's the weekend. My schedule certainly cleared up in light of recent events.

[ only ainsley can find the time to make awful puns. only she would. ]

[liberal_arts]

Illuminating! -Stop it.- Tomorrow works perfectly for me.

[caelestialis]

Great!

I also want to take the time to thank you for speaking with me. It really does help me calm down from this. It was such a surprise for it to happen but you and the others have been great.

[liberal_arts]

I am always happy to help, though I have to say there's some selfish, artistic reasoning behind wanting to see this in person, as well. But if it helps both of us, all the better, right?

[caelestialis]

Right! Honestly, I feel a lot better knowing this will benefit someone somehow. Feels less like a mess and more of something that can be shared, be used for something good.

[liberal_arts]

That's the right attitude to have! And I look forward to capturing this "sparkle", myself.

[caelestialis]

That's great to hear! I'll try to make sure they're extra bright for you when we meet. It's the least I can do.

i am SO sorry for goetting about this, feel free to ignore this late-ass tag

[liberal_arts]

Is that so? Goodness, I feel flattered.

OH NO IT'S FINE PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR OUR LACK OF A POST AH /O\

[caelestialis]

Seems only fair! You helped me calm down from this after all. Earlier I was ready to either burst into tears or retire from my job to not hurt my students.

here's to bad memory all around then

[liberal_arts]

In that case, I'll take the gratitude. I didn't realize things were so dire.

one day we will put up post it notes to remember stuff

[caelestialis]

It kind of was with how freaked out I felt earlier. I feel silly about it since it turned out well, didn't it?

[ could have been much worse for sure. ]
