[pm] You don't have to be sorry. I would do the same thing if the roles were reversed. [...] Look, whatever you want me to do I'll do it. Just let me know. It is fucked but you have options now.

[pm] Yes? Maybe, I don't know. I'm not sure if I want him to still be hanging around or not but like, knowing for sure that he's not? It's just a bit fucked. Sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you for this.

Monty, gotcha. Will commit that to memory probably. [...] I mean, just a little sad but you had someone at least. Some don't even get that. Oh, yea, no, I'm good. They kind of smell and I don't think I can get past that. Plus my boots do not belong on a farm. I learned that the hard way last time.

It's Monty, but that's ok! Sometimes I have a hard time remembering names, too. [...] Haha, maybe I should. They've been there for me when no one else was. [...] That sounds a little sad, now that I say it out loud. Oh well! I guess life is that way, sometimes. [...] I think you should try sometime, though. Meeting one, I mean. They are very special animals.

You weren't there, Felix. You didn't see the way it was looking at me so you'll never understand it. And no one will ever convince me that it wasn't going after me by going after my car all because it wanted my donut.

I want to argue against that but I don't know how.

But when you think about it, the invention of cars -- and roads -- made life worse for deer, because now people are always cutting into their homes to make more room for cars to go through! So really, his home will never be the same because of the car. So maybe he's biased towards cars. Right? Maybe there was vengeance, but maybe it wasn't towards you.

I just think all cats are probably communists.

Oh, but it is. [....] Okay, you got me there. I think that's a fair age to call old. I thought you were going to say like thirty or something.

I guess that's fair, if that's what you want to do. Are you Do you judge me? [...] I don't know, like, 40?

Ah, yes, he must not know that defending someone to internet trolls only fuels their fire. Fame newbies, I swear they'll learn to research one day. Maybe not him though. Why do you care what they think anyway? You're the famous one, the one with the glory, why let them take that away?

[pm] Don't get mushy on me. You'll never hear me admit that again so you better print that reply off and stick it to your forehead to remind you. Is that supposed to be an accomplishment? That's what we have Metallica for. Wait until they're dead and then I might revere you for it. [.....] The fact that you think you're stable is enough to prove you're a mess. Cute.

Defending me on the internet, the cardinal sin of all internet sins. I can do that. Just gotta force myself to ignore the ridiculous shit that comes my way. The fame flavor, not the Wicked's Rest flavor.

[pm] You seriously consider me a friend? [User is touched.] Thanks. I'm still coming to terms with forming new friend groups. It's a weird experience, especially since you people don't appreciate my ability to play the guitar riff for Enter Sandman. Finn isn't [...] okay maybe a little gross. Leave the guy alone, I've known him since high school. We're not huge messes! I'm stable! [User resists to use the phrase 'I can fix him.'] [...] Aww, she cares :) :) I'll remember this, seriously.

[pm] Um, can you come over. Something happened. But you have to promise not to freak out. I'm okay. [del:] I think. [/del] I just really need a DD right now.

[pm] [user is already getting into her car to head to Macks] What happened? You've really got to stop giving me heart attacks, Mack.

The one and only. I'm not going to lie, she probably told me your name but I can't recall it. [....] You're a lot nicer Does nothing [...] You know, you should promote for them or something. I've never had the desire to be around a horse until now. I still won't go near one but you almost got me there.

Oh, Mack! Yes, of course, you must be Winter! [...] That's all right, farms are not for everyone. Mm, well... they cannot talk back, which is nice. They can easily bear your burdens, and are terribly loyal if you treat them with love and respect. I've always had at least one companion since I was a boy, and I've never had better friends than those horses.

[pm] Oh. [...] Are you asking me to check and see if he's still around, Finn?

[pm] Not since they died. It was [...] my dad. He vanished as soon as the eclipse was over so now I'm wondering if he's just [...] gone gone or if I just can't see him. Hence, bothering you about it.

Well, yes, my car will never be the same so I think I'm allowed to be biased towards the deer. But I'm also right in saying he's not 'just a little guy' and I will stand by that. That thing had vengeance in it's heart.

Ignoring that [....] This coming from the person who can't accept a deer was deliberate with its actions. How does a cat give off communist vibes? Are you sure you're not projecting?

I think you're a little biased against the deer here, Winter! He's just a little guy. He doesn't really have a concept of vengeance. Most of the time, animals are just hungry.

Well, it's nice of you. And I appreciate you a lot. [...] I don't think she'd endorse a corporation like that. I think she's a communist. The cat, I mean. She's never said anything directly, but I kind of get the vibe.

Yea, that's why I said some silly little things. People can live their lives though, and I can judge them for it. It's nice cycle of life. [...] Cass what age do you think is old?

I don't know. Sometimes I think it's kind of nice. Like, you don't have to stop enjoying things just because you're old. Sometimes it's a little cringe, though. Like, if it's an old person pranking you, that's pretty sad.

[pm] Sometimes I still think I'm a kid too. [user considers deleting that part but thinks that maybe Thea needs to hear it] Just because the law says that you're an adult that doesn't mean you are. Technically your brain is still developing into your mid twenties, sometimes later. But even if we do have more severe consequences for our actions that doesn't mean we're not allowed to fuck up either [user should take her own advice since her mother never told her this].

That is an awful metaphor but I guess it works. So, it's your fault that the rat had knives then? I'm going to default back to my original settings; maybe it's neither. Maybe we shouldn't take the blame for this at all. A poltergeist is a poltergeist and we both did what we could with the information we had available to us. It's still my fault for taking on what I knew would be too much but you don't have to know that

[.......] Of course it isn't. But in a way that makes it better. If you never signed anything then you're not legally responsible for that house. And if he wants to be big and bad with a bat there are ways to handle that too. Let him come after you, he won't like what's waiting for him. [she is enraged that a man would text that to a child and immediately wants to go after him but refrains]

[pm] Yeah, 22. But I'm not a kid! I haven't been a kid for a long time! I stopped being a kid! I know how old I am, I know that, relatively speaking, I'm a kid but I'm not. I don't get to be anymore because if I go to jail, they're not going to call me a kid! I can't just cling to my age and pretend like I don't get consequences. I'm not a kid, Winter. You can't say I am. I make mistakes like an adult; I can hurt people like an adult. [...] And what about you then? You're an adult. This was your big girl adult fuck up? If I get to be a kid, what does that make you? No. This is stupid.

I'm not gonna trade blame with you like it's a hot potato. You came over 'cause I invited you and you had your salt and and you tried and what else were you gonna do? Why are you taking responsibility for this? If I had like, rats in my walls, and you're the exterminator...it's not your fault if the rats have like, a bunch of knives. I mean, okay, that's a bad metaphor but I'm not going to blame you!

Um. Okay. So maybe you should know that maybe my arrangement with the landlord wasn't like, totally legal? All these rental places wanted to have like...proof of income and references and like insurance and stuff and I can't do that. So then I found this guy and he was like yeah, live at my house. And I paid him in cash and he took a deposit and everything and there was no agreement. Which I think means I'm not liable for anything! But he's kinda scary? Like he texted me the baseball bat emoji.

Oh god, what did he do? [user is tired] No, I wouldn't want cameras in my face when I was dealing with a tragedy like you are, that's true. But every other time I do You just have to do what feels right to you, okay? It doesn't matter what others want from you, only give what you're willing to give and let them pine over the rest.

[pm] Oh [...] gross, okay. Gross because he's not your only friend, you dick. I know I rag on you a lot but it's my special way of being your friend and you have Mack around here somewhere. I know you lost people but there are others who have your back. Also gross because it's Finn. Though, I suppose it makes sense that two biggest messes I know stick together. [...] You're still annoying, Charles, don't get it twisted just because I don't hate you.

I don't pay attention to the internet anymore. I've turned off alerts and I deleted a bunch of social media apps off my phone. I'm trying my best, but there's people out there like Finn who are trying to go to bat for my honor when they really fucking shouldn't be and I just wish it'd go away. [...] You don't want to be as big as Mack or myself. It sounds like it should be fun, but it's not. Shit like this happens and you have to hide away from everyone. I wasn't this big until this shit happened, and now the music is selling like crazy, people want me to go solo or form a new band, and it's overwhelming and crazy and I can't keep up. Finn's a friend I've had since high school. [...]

[pm] Don't tell him I told you this, but he's kind of my best and only friend left at this point. He means a shit ton to me. I used to have the biggest crush on him. So if you know him [...] You know I don't hate you either, right? And I don't think you're annoying. And if you're willing to go through the lengths to give me advice about this shitshow of a life I have right now, I appreciate it.

I would recommend the ones I got for my property but they keep 'going down' at the most random times. The company keeps saying there's nothing wrong but I think they're hiding something.

I am now the acquaintance. Tell me everything you learn about these legal booby traps.

I'm looking to advance the security around my home. I think I would enjoy those little cameras that people have been putting on their doorbells, but I'm interested in some that make it so that I can see every inch of my property at all times.

Also, is anyone aware of how legal it is to set booby traps on your own front lawn? Asking for an acquaintance.

[User looks up Charlie's name and finds the plethora of articles that have been published about him lately. She doesn't like the guy but even she is disgusted that they won't leave him alone.] The only way I've known to deal with it is a media blackout on my end. You can't stop them from printing articles but you can stop reading about yourself. Keep reminding yourself that the people who know you know the truth. I know it's easier said than done but avoiding the sites that post this garbage is the best you can do. As for them following you around [...] I've never had an issue with that because I wanted it so I don't know how to avoid it. Besides, even though I hate to admit it, I've never been as big as you or Mack. She's probably the one to talk to. Also, didn't know you knew Phenergan.

In the meantime I can go all Kanye and start smashing cameras.

Feeling's fuckin' mutual, reality tv star. [...] I need [...] to be allowed to do what I want to do to grieve them without the internet breathing down my fucking neck about it. They've already started zeroing in on my friend Finn because he comforted me in public, think I moved on from Gareth the second he died. I'm not okay I just [...] I've never been this famous before. My band skyrocketed to notoriety because they died, and now everyone keeps fucking [...] hounding me. I don't know what I'm doing.

Just [...] tell me how you deal with all the media bullshit.

I just find you very annoying, is all. Hate implies that I have strong feelings about you. [.........] Look, I'm sorry to hear that. I know how close you were to them. [....] Do you need anything?

I could try to help. I'm not sure how but, you know...

Hate me that much without due cause? Figured as much. The band was fucking murdered, Winter. All of them. 'Cept me.

So I'm staying here until justice is fucking served.

@animotoph0bia [pm] [d: Tell Henry fuck you] I wasn't. Until a ghost popped up in my room for like four minutes during the eclipse.
