It’s because you’ll eviscerate me one day. Everything I do is in preparation for that. [he’s kidding] [does the thanos snap anyway] I’ll turn into diamonds at your feet and then roll around quite a bit. Not a lot, though, people love diamonds.
Ah, all a matter of time. [Their tone is playful and teasing.] Of course, you’re in demand. It’d only make sense for there to be limited amounts of diamonds left then.
They nodded, listening along to what the other was saying. It was true. They wondered a lot how it would feel to be someone with no anxiety, someone that had many friends in school, someone more pallatable.
“Yeah, it’s just super difficult to not think about being someone else when people don’t really like you. All of you not just a little piece of you, y’know?” Shaking their head, they shrugged. “So I just wonder a lot what it’s like to be someone who isn’t as… difficult.”
A nod of understanding comes when they hear McKenzie’s response. Goodness knows Saima has been tempted by the way that people clearly responds to others much more readily – in previous roles they played.
“Yeah, I get what you mean. Just a little piece that maybe someone may find useful for their benefit but never bother with the rest of you. I get thinking about being someone who isn’t so difficult. It’s just such a pain that you’ve had to deal with that so often.“
I can only present to you the best. If you do go through with my suggestion, I’ll need you to forward me a large sum of money, however, and that way I can keep coming up with these good ideas.
I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. Appreciate your efforts and dedication to quality nonetheless.
But why? [HEAR the ANGUISH] Y?! [the way he shook his hands makes one of his bracelets come off and he just] Aw, shit. My acting’s too good. [let him pick that shit up]
[somehow this is not remotely surprising.]
[the dramatics, how intense] You really put a lot of feeling into that. That I know for sure.
S, have you considered changing your name? What about something with Y? That way, every time I talk to you, I can say it very dramatically and people will think you’re ruining my day somehow.
Sometimes I have. Something with a Y? Hm, I will consider my options for that. I hadn’t planned to change my name, but I’m always game for a fun alias. Although I don’t relish people thinking I’m ruining your day somehow.
The warmer than usual weather did make things a little weird for Saima. Although they were still more comfortable than Ayumu at the moment. When asked about doing something about they thought for a moment. “Hm. I can make the area a lot more cool with breezes and maybe make it not quite so dry.” Despite not exactly having weather powers, being able to work magic in elemental ways had come in handy.
With that said, Saima did a specific few motions – along with a spell or two in Estonian to make the area a little more dreary and cool. If nothing else, it might help take the heat off of Ayumu.
“Oh, you and Roderich have hung out?” Erzsi asked, not quite sure what she was a little shocked to hear it. “I mean, I am glad you two get along. I am sure you will probably run into him at some point when you are over at my house.”
Looking at her phone, Erzsi groaned,”Shit! I have to go. I was supposed to be at a meeting and now I am late! I really need better time management skills.”
“Yeah, yeah. It’s been a more recent development but we’ve got a long for at least a few years now.“ It was nice to be able to consider him a friend. “So it’ll only make things easier for those inevitable run-ins.“
The realization of Erszi being late made Saima jolt a bit. “Damn. Well, I’ll leave you to your business. Won’t keep you distracted any longer.” With that, they start to make their way out.
“When people honor the dead, it really makes me have to take a moment and respect all those I’ve had the pleasure of engaged with. So many stories I still carry with me.“
“Cool! I thought about like, making it from scratch but that seemed like way too much work.” Eve likes cooking, but she refuses to put too much effort in things.
“Right. I love making it from scratch. But I know it takes a lot of effort and that’s not for everyone.“ Saima never begrudges the means people have for getting to have good food.
“i wish we could bring Halloween up to olympus. it’d be so much fun. unfortunately i don’t think it’ll be happening anytime soon.” it’s a bit disappointing if you ask her. she’d be more than willing to plan everything by herself if it meant having it actually happen. ( just wait until the pint sized goddess sees the celebration for christmas. ) “i’m telling you, it’s true. i always give the yellow and orange ones to my sons and stash away the pink and red ones for myself.“ that’s some grade a parenting right there.
“That would certainly be entertaining, to say the least. “ They understood why Halloween wasn’t likely to come up to Olympus – didn’t seem to fit the style of many of those inhabiting there. “Hah, that’s how you do it. Right in the tradition of parents picking out the best candy for themselves.“ They give a little laugh in approval at Hebe’s’ mischief.
“The appeal is real. Although it really makes me look forward to St. Martin’s and St. Catherine’s day. Kids continue to dress up but as particular figures to ask for treats and sing folk songs – celebrating the end of the harvest and the arrival of winter respectively. It’s a really enjoyable sight“
