It's strange. There was a lot I wanted to do before I turned twenty.

It doesn't feel wrong to have been brought here, but I wish I wasn't by myself. I remember wanting to spend today with people I cared about, but that's not possible anymore.

[someone is very clearly brooding & feeling the effects of Cloverfield.]

People tend to roll their eyes whenever a girl talks about her feelings in a vague way for everyone to read, but if I didn't say anything about today, I'd probably feel much worse.

huh, that sounds pretty safe, honestly
was it a good memory?

yeah! now we all know so we got no excuses to miss it
and that's great, i'm pretty sure i got a skull around here that's the perfect size for a pot

[Yes, he's serious about that.]

[hopticulture]

It wasn't a full memory, but more like a feeling. And it was nice.

...why a skull?
What kind of skull? I'm not really sure if that's a good idea...

[laminae]

that's good
usually the stuff we got in Deerington was bad
good to hear the stuff here isn't always terrible

oh it's totally cool, i got tons of monster skulls around
they make great pots for plants!

[hopticulture]

What is Deerington anyway...this isn't the first time I've heard of it.

And I think I would like it in a cup or a bowl or a pot if anything. I'm not sure how I'd feel about a skull in my place.
Even if it was a monster, it feels kind of disrespectful to it.

[nevermind having a skull around is??? weird?? she's used to looking death in the eye and seeing herself as dead, but still!!]

oh man, it's a looong story
the jist of it was a bunch of us were stuck in the dream of this little girl who was supposed to be this new being
more than just a kid between a Pthumerian and a human
but she had a real bad time, and things got worse, and uh
we kind of killed her permanently
and that might be why this world is the way it is?
if you got time i can tell you more

aw really?
that's kind of boring
but if you're sure i can find a regular pot to put it in
i'll bring it over later, where do you live?

[Skulls make excellent household decor, he will forever argue this.]

[hopticulture]

[that...sounds like a lot. and she's kind of put enough together but...isn't going to press for more.

instead:]

Regular pots aren't necessarily boring.
I just don't think I'd like a skull staring back at me at my place. Even if there's a plant in it.

[laminae]

ha ha can it stare at you if it doesn't have eyeballs?
i guess the eye sockets count huh?
