Give it time Ris! A lot of them just got here recently, so we're all still getting to know each other. You can't rush chemistry.
Sounds about right though, hell we even got our own share of skeptics. One of the Madrigal kids actually had the nerve to act like the non-humans were weird while his family was perfectly normal.
[You know, with their crazy powers and rat-show running uncle. But also. He's not talking about the Horse. No.]
Look all you want! Apparently he got a job as an exotic dancer somewhere. I can try to find the club if you want.
oh my GOD tho is one of them really trying to pull that? they've all got crazy magic, the one's running a freaking rat telenovela, but noooo, we're the crazy ones??? yeah, ok. sure, kiddo.
not sure if that's more or less annoying than being told not to blame my pile of "what the fuck is this shit, zodiac" on my pet penguin for some reason i can't fathom. i'll just go with equal.
[As for Amal, though:]
oooomg no... thanks but no thanks!! i think he'd just about DIE and also like for SOME unknown reason at this point he still thinks there's like? something good and likeable about me?? i'm bound to destroy that sooner or later but it's kind of nice to play pretend for now
Well just for that, I'm now blaming everything on your pet penguin. Everything. He's the mastermind behind all this.
Hey there's plenty of good and likeable things about you. But alright alright, I won't give you the address. But if you change your mind, just let me know!
i mean tbh that's fair. king's cute but also he's a fickle little shit so blaming everything on him just seems objectively correct
also... i do appreciate it. really. i know it probably doesn't sound like it because text is the worst at conveying actual feelings but it means a lot to hear someone say that.
but like, let's be real - once the whole "being cute and having daddy's money" thing runs out for me? i don't have a particularly bright future ahead. and i'm not the good person amal seems to think i am. i don't even know how to be. he's honestly probably just seeing me as a replacement for someone else... which is great while it lasts, but the jig is going to be up eventually.
[Yeah that...got heavy alright. Zelos wishes he could say something to cheer her up, but...]
...Yeah, sorry. I'd like to say something to put a positive spin on things, but I'm a dead sex worker and somehow that's a step up from where I was before, soooo any pithy inspiration thing I say would be full of crap.
Though, I do think you should give Amal's more credit. He's pretty much a himbo, so I'm sure him saying you're a good person is cause he thinks you're one. It's up to you if you let him down or not!
at least you're honest. i do appreciate that about you immensely, you know.
and, well. i would ask what you mean by that, but i'm guessing that's one of the cards you're gonna hold closest to your chest for a long time.
[That's just his type. Sidestep around the big issues, laugh everything off if he can. She can't blame him. Normally, she'd never just wordvomit like this either, but... well, this month has not been kind to her. It's been one extended moment of weakness and she's increasingly hating it.
At least he's seemingly not holding it against her.]
i mean... given what i've seen... you aren't WRONG. i'd say he'd be offended by that but i'm sure he hasn't the slightest what a himbo even IS lmao.
i guess that's true. well, with my expectations this low, either i'm pleasantly surprised or i get what i expect, right? and i guess there's not much point in freaking out about the future at the expense of now.
whatever will be, will be. that's what you said at the diner, right?
I try to be honest when I can! [Big emphasis on the "when I can".] And oh...something like that. Trust me, hearing about my past won't do anyone any favors.
[It's not like talking about it would CHANGE anything about it. All it'd do is make people miserable. Who needs that?]
Nah, I'm sure he'd think it was an honor! That is, if he knew what a himbo was.
And yep, that's my motto. Best way to stay sane, if you ask me.
[It's fine. Zelos is a bit volatile, she's managed to pick that up from afar, but he's holding himself together better than she probably would given what of his situation she knows. That has to account for something, if not actual sanity.]
yeah, that's about the wave-off i expected.
ehe, yeah. maybe he would. i'm not sure i'm emotionally ready to explain that concept to him though so i'll leave that up to the rest of you.
if he does find out though i want to know how it goes down tho lol
