007 » TEXT; un: Persephone (forward dated to IRIS)

[ragingnature]

I know this question has likely been asked more than once. BUT! How does anyone deal with Iris? 😬

I've been Sanguis for almost a year, but last month that changed and it's terrible. It's just more than a week of being unable to fully concentrate on anything.

[shinseikai]

have you talked to them?

[ragingnature]

No.

[shinseikai]

why not? they've got to have better advice than a bunch of randos on the internet

[ragingnature]

I don't want to bother them. If I do it this way people have the option to respond or not.

[shinseikai]

isn't being able to bother them the whole point of having friends?

if not i may have to reassess my approach...

[ragingnature]

I don't know... I'm still not sure I understand what true friendship is supposed to be like.

[shinseikai]

You didn't have friends in the virgin cult or at school or whatever? Not even like, I don't know, virgin sisters?

[ragingnature]

My sisters, the flower nymphs, treated me kindly, but it's because they had to.

I consider Artemis a friend, but I haven't known her that long.

[shinseikai]

Man, it sounds like you were dealt a shit hand.

I only ever had one friend, before I came here. And now I've got all these people who let me text them at 2 am.

[ragingnature]

I guess.

I have people I would call friends, but I'm not sure how much they'd appreciate me texting them at 2 am.

[shinseikai]

Would they appreciate knowing you were hurting without reaching out for their help?

[ragingnature]

I don't know. They're all pretty busy with their own things.

[shinseikai]

And if the situation were reversed? What would you want, then?

[ragingnature]

I'd want to help if I can.

[ But she knows she sometimes gives too much. ]

[shinseikai]

See? You do know the point of friends.

[ragingnature]

I suppose so.

[shinseikai]

Well, I guess, if you're not going to call them - do you want a drink?

[ragingnature]

I'm not sure that's a good idea. What with Iris and all...

[shinseikai]

What's the worst that could happen? You find a cute guy at the bar?

[ragingnature]

Okay.

[ She's really not into hooking up with random guys, but Yashiro seems pretty insistent on getting her out of the apartment. ]

[shinseikai]

If he's hot enough, I'll take him and save you the trouble! Anyway there's a bar downtown I like.

[ he includes the address, it's kind of swanky but he's got lots of money its fine. you gotta hit the town sometimes right? ]

[ragingnature]

[ She's been basically saving her money since she arrived. She had the plan to get a big house with Eros and Hades, but with the latter gone she doesn't care about leaving the apartment anymore. ]

I'll see you in a little bit. I need to shower.

[ And cut her hair. But she turns up she'll be dressed in a nice little black dress that fits snuggly on her form, little lacey cut-outs on it showing off the glowing spots on her hips and shoulders and the back is lowcut enough for her little fluffy tail to poke out. ]
