Freakout Time [Maybe 2 hours into the new liminal]

[mytearsaremine]

[Not long after liminal changes over, but with time enough for the psychic network to start quietly bubbling again, a voice is broadcast into the fray: and that voice is loud.

For once, it isn't Jules. Instead, it's a teenage girl's voice, and while emotions and tone don't translate over the network without a little more experience than she's had, it's still pretty obviously as much of a scream as one can make when one is brand new:]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

dude
that is totally the most legit of answers
its got a stamp of approval and a diploma from legit university
a straight up doctorate in legitology

[mytearsaremine]

Okay, I take it back. You're definitely a teenager.

Who are you?

[cawfullyironic]

time and me we got this thing yo
but yeah im pretty sure ive still managed to skirt the dreaded bowls of existence known to the unfortunate as adulthood

a breathtakingly orange birdghost that glows also
sup

[mytearsaremine]

Birdghost? Like... feathers and everything?

[Color her intrigued. Her closest thing to a friend back in Ryslig, after all, was a girl turning into an angry harpy.]

Does that mean you'd be cool with a girl made out of shadows?

[cawfullyironic]

fuck yeah I got feathers
someone even thought it was a good idea to slap bird feet looking motherfuckers to my elbows and call them arms
im like kid frankenbird up in this bitch

and shadows like what
like are you stuck on walls or a void of darkness in the shape of a broad
either way cool

[mytearsaremine]

[Okay, yes, that sounds a whole lot like Heather. That's at least moderately familiar, so she's relaxing more. Plus, the kid is pretty much the opposite of scary, at this point.]

Kind of the latter one, mostly, but I'm only fourteen, so I don't really think "broad" is a great word for it. Who uses that word anymore, anyway? I thought it was from like the nineteen-twenties.

[cawfullyironic]

fourteen year olds got vaginas
and broads got vaginas
so that would leave me to believe by way of simple simian brained logic that fourteen year olds can also be broads
my wordage is nigh impeccable

[mytearsaremine]

You kind of missed the fact that unless you're from the twenties, you're using super outdated slang. And kind of sexist slang, too, actually. Just so you know.

[She doesn't sound all that pissed about it. More just... baffled. By him. Because he is baffling. Thankfully, he is also not threatening at all.]

[cawfullyironic]

i was a bartender in the twenties
actually that guy was kind of a gaping douche but it counts
not that i havent been using the word since i was like twelve but whatever
expand your vocab
the more words you got to use the more amo you got to string together like a pro

[mytearsaremine]

This time you missed the part where it's also sexist. So no, I'm probably not going to pick up that word and start using it. But thanks for the little orange lecture about having a big vocabulary. Totally didn't know that already.

[She's being sarcastic. Surely you can tell, right, DS?]

[cawfullyironic]

dont care
i know damn well girls can kick my ass
my sister probably
my ex definitely
she could be an angry bitch in the most literal of ways

[mytearsaremine]

[Okay, listening to him talk about his ex (and reading it; this is really weird) is not how she wants to spend her time. Subject change time.]

So easily-beatable birdman, do you have a name?

[cawfullyironic]

-=he was being serious. his ex is a dog completely with fluffy ears and occasional barking=-

hold up
number one
i said nothing about being easily beatable
just that the lack of floppy tubular meat products got nothing to do ones ability to kick my feathery ghost butt

and two
davesprite

[mytearsaremine]

Jolie Harmony. I'm from California. On Earth, I guess, since I know some people aren't from there.

Did you just say "ghost"?

[cawfullyironic]

texas
and depending what year youre from we might be from the same one who knows

and yeah
sorta
kind of an alive ghost because being me makes total and complete sense
said no one ever
especially me

[mytearsaremine]

Probably not the same one. My Earth doesn't have ghost birds in it.

[Well, she's a bit wrong there. It might, in fact, have ghost birds in it-- she just doesn't know about it. It does, after all, have ghost dogs.]

It kind of sounds like you've got a lot of weird history.

[cawfullyironic]

neither did mine
i became my own spirit animal AFTER the apocalypse thanks

sure as fuck i do
i deserve a god damned acheivment award for this shit

[mytearsaremine]

Okay. I am not really in any frame of mind to listen to your weird story right now, but I want to hear it, all of it, some other time. Okay? Like when I'm not still freaking out and trying to figure out what's going on.

I mean, unless it's a big secret story, or something. But you're dropping a lot of hints for it being secret, which would be pretty mean of you.

[cawfullyironic]

nah it aint a secret
just gotta warn you theres an absolutely preposterous level of assetry and bullshit

[mytearsaremine]

Maybe that'll be entertaining. Can't be worse than some of the stupid stuff I've lived through. I hope, anyway.

[Worse? Maybe not. Weirder? Maybe so.]
