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.

I know it's the trend to always blame them for whatever happens but- It's the only thing that I can think of right now. Nothing else has changed in the city from my knowledge. Unless they did something to our memories again. [ it kind of unnerves her that that is even a possibility to consider. eck! ]

I still wonder what this is all supposed to accomplish them for them though. And how they choose who gets the app and who doesn't. It almost feels like we're on the other side of the looking glass and there's no way out.

But then the fear of repercussions manages to shoo to shoo those impulses away. It really does feel like we're kind of stuck in a bubble of sorts, doesn't it? Being observed and toyed with while we all know not much can be done. It's so frustrating!
[ a pause. then she adds a meaningful addition to that: ] Fuck.

Nothing! Nothing happened at all! Just had an urge to type that out because my god. The more I think about it, the more absurd this all really is. I want to say it's almost Kafkaesque but I don't think we've hit that level yet.
[ 'yet' being the depressing operative word here. ]

[ that was a tasteless joke and she sees that too late. let's change the topic- ] Can I ask what you mean by that? The 'sudden and strange' bits, to be clear.
no subject
All random, sudden and strange occurrences, yes?
no subject
Those are weird. More so since it feels almost like clockwork I suppose? Something always happens to us and then it either sticks around (the Chocobos, the fruits) or vanishes like it never happened (the reporters, etc) which makes you question your perception of reality.
no subject
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.
no subject
also unfortunately for her and fortunately for the company, the sadistic people they are, their antics are causing her to have a lot doubt about herself. emphasis on 'a lot' too. ] Do you think they'll ever stop?

Oh! I think I'm going to have a visitor soon. It was wonderful speaking with you again. Can we do this some other time? When the circumstances aren't as suspiciously perilous?
