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.

[What are healthy coping mechanisms? Can you eat them?]

guess its not for everyone
have found the tying to be an oddly relaxing distraction tho

is that why youve been sort of awol?
because of iris?

[ragingnature]

Yeah...

Sure. Iris has been the problem. [ Lying liar lying pants. ]

[circumitus]

[...]

iris only lasts a few days
pretty sure youve been checked out for a lot longer than that
so thats obviously bullshit

[It's hard to gauge someone's feelings over text, but even Rey isn't that daft.]

[ragingnature]

I've been busy.

[ Busy being depressed and mopey. ]

[circumitus]

what's that smell???

oh yeah

IT'S MORE BULLSHIT

[That's more emotive than Rey usually allows herself to get over text, wups.]

[ragingnature]

[ There'll be no response to this. She's not in the mood. ]

[circumitus]

[Yeah, she probably deserved that silence. Rey sighs to herself, a reminder to exercise some goddamn restraint.]

are you alone right now?

[ragingnature]

No.

[ She has Meli and Eros is around. Somewhere. Probably. ]

[circumitus]

[That kurt reply doesn't bode well.]

sorry for being a shit just then

just doesnt feel like your ok

[ragingnature]

It's fine. I'm fine. Everything is fine.

[ At least it will be once she's moped long enough. ]

[circumitus]

you know

when people say it like that its usually code for youre NOT fine

comiong from personal experience here

[ragingnature]

Reall, it's fine. I just kind of want to eat ice cream and cuddle Pomelia.

[circumitus]

whats a pomelia?

[ragingnature]

[ Have a picture of a tiny puppy. ]

It's also a flower, but in this case it's her.

1/2

[Oops, accidentally hit the audio button and now Persephone is subjected to the most undignified yell that's ever come out of Rey. It sounds like she was in the middle of a longer string of expletives.]

--MY FUCKING GOD.

[circumitus]

[COUGH]

...

[Someone's not used to using her voice at that volume.

[More coughing, until she manages to croak out:]

C-can... can I meet her? [HACK] Doesn't have to be now, but... Can I?

[This is a different Rey from the mask she usually puts up for people. This sounds like someone with a kind of childlike wonder experiencing something for the first time. In this case, she can't help but have a softness for animal kind. She can't even bring herself to kill when she goes camping in the forest. Chase them down, maybe. But never harm. She usually reserves violence for people and robots.]

[ragingnature]

[ Okay, that actually got a chuckle out of her. She didn't expect that kind of reaction from Rey. ]

Sure. She's not going anywhere.

[ Unlike some people and dogs. ]

[circumitus]

[A quiet yessssss hisses between her teeth before she promptly cuts the audio off.

[Not too long after, text follows:]

good
dont have any plans on going anywhere anytime soon either [Not that Rey has a say in any of that, but shut up.]

after iris sound good?

[ragingnature]

After the Triple Moon.

[ Maybe by then she'll be less mopey. ]
