[hard same, Vera! too bad they're not close enough for Lina to say anything about it yet.]
i am! we weren't always, and then we just suddenly Were one day and we had been for a while? back in July. then when everything went back to normal i decided to move in with her because i had so much fun having her as a roommate.
heehee, are you sure about that? she seems to know how to handle herself pretty well! especially now that she has, um. the gun fists?
but i'm still here making sure she eats right and taking care of her if she needs it! i know she'd do the same for me, even if we've only known each other for a few months.
She thinks she can handle herself and that's part of the problem. Especially since her power is to get stronger the more she gets hurt, she's going to throw herself headlong into something stupid. But now that we're training together, things should be okay.
I've probably only known her for as long as you have, but it feels like I've known her forever. We share a lot of the same memories of our previous lives.
i'm sorry, her power is WHAT??? i didn't know that! oh... that changes a lot. okay. i'm going to work really hard to protect her from anything like that when you're not training with her.
[by putting herself in the way of those stupid situations instead.]
you do, though? i'm really glad... it's difficult sometimes when you share memories with someone else. i hope they're good memories. or at least mostly good.
Yeah, her aura protects her a little bit, but it doesn't last forever. Doesn't really dull the pain, either. Just keep an eye out for her and I'll do the same.
There's a lot of good memories, thankfully. Some bad ones too. Our other selves went to a school to learn how to hunt monsters.
oh, i see... well, i'll keep her as safe as i can. between us, she'll figure out how to pace herself and not get hurt and most importantly be smart about things. i believe in her! (and also, i believe in us. that seems important, too.)
that seems like it would be a useful skill to have. i bet you don't have any problems fighting the things outside the city or anything like that. assuming it's something you actually want to do, i mean...
i understand entirely, trust me. i just know that it's kind of a lot to throw on a person all at once, you know? but i'm glad we're on the same page. we're being given these powers and we should use them to make sure the people we care about are safe and protected.
Trust me, this wasn't a decision I came to easily. It'd be so much easier to lock myself in my apartment and just wait for the danger to blow over. But all the shit going on lately, it would be too selfish to do that.
you're right. there's no safe way to keep everyone else safe. we have to put ourselves in danger to make sure that the people we love don't get into worse danger.
i didn't really expect me and my, um, employer to have this much in common
the food thing! though i guess i should be clear, i don't expect to get paid for this since this is an intimate thing for thanksgiving. i just couldn't think of a better way to put it.
(i'm a culinary student so i think working for Weisz Mfg might be a little beyond my ability right now)
Nonsense. You're providing a service and you'll be compensated appropriately. I don't work for free, and I would never expect my friends to do so either.
well i don't like to brag or anything, but i've come up with the absolute perfect mixture of spices to make a pumpkin spice flavor better than anything you could find in a store, if that's the kind of thing you'd be interested in! and it comes in any form you could want. latte, cookie, pie, even dog food one time (i didn't feed it to Zwei, though)
i can make no promises on the status of your socks, but i can make a PSL better than any Starbucks. again, not to brag. but i think i'm okay to brag about this.
how about this: i'll get some of my spices together and bring the mix with me when i set up my dia de los muertos stand. then you can come by and i'll let you sample! feel free to try some of my marzipan while you're at it, too, if you think you can handle that much sweetness and you don't have a nut allergy.
No food allergies, thankfully. And that's good because you'll never catch me anywhere near a Starbucks. I prefer the small local cafes, that's where all the quality is. The day I drink mass-produced coffee is the day my tongue shrivels up and falls off.
heehee, well, i'm sure all these local businesses greatly appreciate your support! you know, it's places like those where the REAL innovation happens. not in some lab in a big city thousands of miles away from here.
i feel like we probably should've started talking sooner, but either way this seems like the beginning of an extremely good friendship ^_^
That's sweet of you to say. I really do need new friends. I've spent way too much time holed up in my apartment lately. I can't let what's happening get to me the way it has been.
well, any friend of Jen's is a friend of mine, but even if you didn't know her then i'm really glad we started talking!
it's hard to remember that we need to keep our chins up, especially when things get really rough like this, but that's when i just let myself remember that if i stay holed up in my room all the time, i deprive everyone i love of my beautiful smiling face! :D
...oh no, that sounded really egotistical of me... i promise it was just a joke!!!
[haha. ha. ha. okay. this is maybe not the best time in the world for anyone to bring up the idea of feeling wanted. Lina takes a second but at least she can cover for it!]
sorry, i was just thinking about the last time "i" went to a spa... jen took me there, but it wasn't really me, but it also kind of was? i remember feeling a little out of place but really enjoying it there, and it's not like i look any different so they should still remember that i've been there before if it's the same spa
oh um anyway! yes! i really like the idea of a spa day :D i need to get better at this "self-care" thing anyway i... almost feel like we should go within the next couple days, just so whatever's going to happen to retrospec this month doesn't get in the way

Well I'm glad something positive came out of all of that nonsense. She needs someone to look out for her.

What are your specialties by the way?

If you can make a pumpkin spice latte that knocks my socks off you'll have my heart forever.

It's good to feel wanted
It's also nice to feel pretty
...Which reminds me that it's been ages since I've had a spa day.
Care to join me?
