[I HATE GASLIGHTING ROUND THREE FREE ME FROM THIS TORMENT

there's a long pause, like. very long, and then:]

Anyway! [technically gemini's thread comes after this but nebulously she's already been betrayed by assumptions like FOUR TIMES IN THIS GAME ALONE so she just does not. want to get her hopes up.]

Glad you have two legs. Moving on.

[guestservices]

...moving on!

[they eat more eggs! they polish off this mimosa!]

This breakfast is really good, Lup! Ahahaha...

[evocationary]

[anyway. a long pause, and then lup just lays flat out on the grass.]

Memory share week was a mistake.

[guestservices]

...

[lup is so valid.]

Was it this bad for you at the station...?

[evocationary]

[kicks foot in the air]

No, because I could take my hood off whenever I wanted! I just didn't! So I didn't have to pretend to maybe know or not know someone! I could just show people my face if they saw me in a memory as long as they promised to tell me I'm pretty!

[guestservices]

...

[pats her shoulder]

...unfortunately I can't take off my veil, but for what it's worth, I think you're very pretty.

[evocationary]

Thanks. I know.

[a long pause.] I'm - going to keep not assuming after I say this, because I already made a big old ass of myself with Orion once. And I guess, uh, I guess it applies regardless, but.

But I'm sorry that you ended up here.

[guestservices]

I'm sorry that you did, too.

[seriously can lup please just have nice things? please? WHY DOES SHE GET PUT IN MURDER SO OFTEN? weeps.]

[evocationary]

[no she cannot as long as i live]

Hah. [lowers her leg back to the grass, and sighs.] Yeah. I'm really tired.

[guestservices]

...

[they magic up a pillow from shadows and offer it to her?]

[evocationary]

[she laughs, and takes it.]

Think I can nap away the existential crisis?

[guestservices]

I'd say there are worse things to try!

[evocationary]

It'd probably be rude to just sleep right in the middle of a visit with you -- uh, Vulpecula.

[whispers fuck to herself]

[guestservices]

[they shrug.]

I wouldn't be offended. Maybe I could also use a nap, hm?

[evocationary]

[... holds out grabby hands from where she's flopped out in the grass???]

[guestservices]

[flops down next to her!]

[evocationary]

Yay.

[she shifts to allow them to have some of this pillow.]

[guestservices]

[naptime!]

...the grass out here is a little more comfortable to lie down on than I thought it'd be.

[evocationary]

Is it? [o:] I'm not usually a fan of, uh, sleeping outside ever. But it's not too bad.

[guestservices]

I don't usually do it, either! And nothing beats a comfortable bed. But it's pretty nice every once in a while.

[evocationary]

[a little nod...]

As long as I still have a bed to go back to. [she absently picks at the grass.]

[guestservices]

Right. It's nice as a novelty, but not so nice if you're having to do it every day.

[they stare up at the perpetual-twilight sky.]

...I wish it looked like it was daytime here, sometimes. Looking for shapes in the clouds is a relaxing way to pass the time.

[aren't you supposed to be napping. why are you talking. shut up, vulpecula.]

[evocationary]

[lup doesn't seem to mind, at least.]

I haven't done that since I was a little kid, I think. I got caught up looking at the stars more often.

[guestservices]

You like stargazing, then...?

[evocationary]

I do! It, uh, it actually is... probably why I'm here? In a weird way.

I wanted to see them. The stars, I mean. So me and my brother went to school to get there, and we ended up chased by the Hunger, and then all of that happened, and I ended up in an umbrella. I don't think the UWU would've found me if I hadn't been in there.
