Video | UN: oceangem (dated right after triple moon)

[She was going to try and do this anonymous, and voice to text, but instead she accidentally hit the video option.

So everyone gets a scene of a flustered looking Lapis Lazuli.]

Is it normal for the moon stuff to be so extreme? Not that I'm complaining just...

[A sigh.]

It's unexpected how bad it got.

Hey. It's what I'm doing my best to offer, you know? Though I... I don't know. I made a decision and it went dark. Between you and me. It's some time ago now. But I made the decision, you know? For the one that mattered.

Do it again. No second thoughts.

[ More than anything, she want to let Chris know how she feels. No matter what destroys her or pulls her. Those feelings don't matter. All that matters are those feelings she has for him.

She'll always wait. Just as he did for her. ]

[riptidequeen]

Then that's all that matters, that you don't regret it the choice you made, Jill.

[Wow this got kind of flipped around, didn't it?]

[torsion]

Thanks, though... [ There's a sad hopefulness; dark, drenched in suffering. She tries to hide it but it's clear she's not as excellent at it as she thinks she might be. ] I get it. That's sort of my point. Never been the best at this sort of thing but I think that's... what makes me good? at it. Because I don't expect you to give me your soul. Just want to... ah, make it easier, I guess? If it makes sense.

[riptidequeen]

[Oh that's a thing Lapis knows well, being hopeful but still having something dark deep down.]

It makes sense, and I think you're doing good with me right now. [She gives her device a slight smile, just to make her point clear.]

[torsion]

[ Feelings are bullshit, yeah? She gets that, at least. ]

Ha, well, thanks. Doin' my best. [ There's a bright feeling about her. Something warmer in her expression and delighted, though not extreme or forced. ] Christ, how awkward. But you're the first I've told about what I went through. Figure it makes sense.

[riptidequeen]

[Feelings can suck, but gotta have them.]

Well, I'm used to bad things so why not knowing about other's bad things too? And I won't tell anyone about it either.

[Is she joking? Hard to tell, but her tone seems kind of joke-y.]

[torsion]

Ha, well, thanks. Appreciated. And I'm serious. If you wanna shoot the shit -- figuratively or literally with a gun -- it's alright by me. Just so you know.

[riptidequeen]

Heh, well you'll be on the top of my list then. [It's quickly becoming a big list though.]

[torsion]

Appreciate it. But seriously, we don't gotta talk. Guns and throwing knives are pretty cathartic, so... you know. If you're okay with it? No questions asked. Not unless you want me to.

Take care of yourself, Lapis.

[riptidequeen]

Mm, you take care of yourself too Jill.

[torsion]

I'm workin' on it!
