POST ✦ STABBITY STAB (05/11)

[ guess what package ainsley got today!

a hint: something that's making her leave her apartment for the night because nope your way to nu uh avenue. it doesn't help the police's response to her concerns have been lukewarm at best.

ainsley has just enough time in between her frantic packing of her and kara's things to ask something urgent: ]


What do you think will be the quickest way to obtain some from of self-defence?

Martial arts? Learning how to use a gun? Just living in a bubble made of metal? Asking for myself and Kara here.


[ people she's close to also get a text from her after she posts this message. or this could be a misfire on her end with how quick she's trying to do everything at once and multitasking under stress has never been her strong suit.

whichever is the case someone will get this message: ]


Is it possible for me to stay at your place for a bit? If not now but in the future? I know Kara could be a sticking point but she's well-behaved and sweet and everything please I just really need somewhere else to be. I'll owe you big time.

The question is less 'could it be them,' and more 'what could it be if it is not them?' They are certainly the most likely culprit. As you said, it is the only real option we have for the moment, and they are beyond convenient considering that they always seem to be aware of something that is going on around us, yes?

It really does, and it's less than sensible, what they're doing. I'm not sure how we can determine what it is that makes them decide who gets it or not. It seems a difficult answer to get, even if we had one in our clutches.

Fuck? Why did you say that? Is something wrong? Did they do something more to you suddenly?

I am not a giant caterpillar in a cocoon, but I believe the word is fair. Good, at least you are safe. I have become accustomed to accidentally running into moments where something sudden and strange happens, so best to be a little careful.

And I as well. But, hopefully it's just the colors. What I mean, though, is to be suddenly struck by some hallucination, to feel your body changing when you wake up in the morning, to find a knife in your sock drawer, find a reporter chasing you and asking about your latest vision.

All random, sudden and strange occurrences, yes?

Easy enough to get confused lately. Don't worry about it.

And yes, I think that may be what they want. To make us think we are someone we're not, and question our reality. It certainly feels that way to me.

Well, this is Retrospec we are speaking about. Awful may as well be their middle name. Or their first name. I think they'll stop, though, when we make them stop, and only then.

When I speak about them, it tends to get a little ominous. They haven't exactly merited a positive attitude, after all, have they?

Absolutely. In the meantime, take care of yourself would you? I will see you again soon.
