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.

Ahhh I get it now. I feel a little embarrassed for not realising it sooner. Talk about not adding two plus two together.

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.

[true_noir]

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.

[caelestialis]

Question our reality? That sounds awful. [ and yet makes a lot of sense considering some of their methods in tormenting them.

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?

[true_noir]

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.

[caelestialis]

I'm not going to lie- That sounds very ominous. Honest but ominous.

[true_noir]

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

[caelestialis]

You got me there. They haven't exactly put their best foot forward in terms of, well, everything.

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?

[true_noir]

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

[caelestialis]

See you soon and please take care! Don't be a stranger.
