[12:01 pm]

Hey! I thought we were meeting up for lunch today? Did I get the days wrong??

[12:15 pm]

Okay, maybe I was supposed to meet you AT the comic book store so I'll be there soon. I made tarts!!

[12:21 pm]

So they said you didn't show up for work. I hope you're okay. I'll save the tarts for another time.

[1:17 pm]

Alex, you are okay right??

[2:30 pm]

Starting to get very worried.

[3:03 pm]

I really hope you're okay. I'm going to stop bombarding you with texts, because if you wanted to talk you'd text back. I'm here when you're ready.

Take care, Alex.

Who: Alex White
What: Meeting his father
Where: At home
When: Friday, midnight.
Warnings/Rating: Low, with mentions of death. Also, long read.

( Alex died. Again. )

[2:32 a.m., Friday morning. Some sleepers are woken by a disturbance in their very bones. It is a temporary feeling which takes several forms: despair, dread, loneliness, fear, terror. For a heartbeat, Phobos and Deimos stalk the streets of Repose. For a second, the awakened sleeper might be convinced they can smell the charnel stench of an open grave. For any so affected, this feeling and this smell pass in a moment and they are only left with the disquieting memories, and the question of whether or not it was only a bad dream.

The morning comes, and Alex White does not appear at work for his shift at the comic shop. He does not leave Mal his morning muffin and coffee. He doesn't answer his phone, nor reply to forum posts or text messages. His apartment is certainly still occupied, but it doesn't seem as if he has plans to leave it anytime this weekend.]

Hey! My dad and I have this tradition of trying to sit down to dinner together at least once a week and I realized I don't know if anyone else does this? Just once in while get together for a nice homemade dinner and dessert all that people can come and have and just chill and chat and eat?

Anyone wanna try? I can host. Would have to be on Sundays if I'm hosting though.

[Forum: Leena B.]
Boo!

[Forum locked to: Magadalena O. - In Spanish]
Heard any white bitch bullshit yet?

[Group: Mal & Alex]

I must ask who has been sleeping with who since I've been away. Also, declarations of longing can be submitted at this juncture.

Thank you everyone who came to our housewarming party. It was such a nice time, and we enjoyed seeing each and every one of you. I am proud to say we didn't have any left overs either.

I hope you all had a nice time and thank you again.

And here I was thinking we'd escape the mass panic in a small bullshit town, oops.

[Atticus M]

We still friends?

[Alex W]

Pls tell me your mans has wised up, bb.

[Tandy B]

I think I've figured out the hot water.

so Nyx is home.

he's still a little tender but his legs are healing up okay so they let him come home with me today. he's kind of got a cat rehab thing going so I need to make sure he doesn't try to jump down from anywhere too high and that he's actually using his back legs and not dragging himself around, and there are meds and all but I feel super lucky that he's here with me. we still need to get to know each other but the fact that he's sleeping in my lap right now is probably a good sign

( he is my grumpy old man cat )

Thanks for coming to the karaoke and making it a blast every one! I been thinking that we should all form a boy band (gender neutral term ok) and take the world by storm

Link me to the song you're listening to on repeat, and I'll put your name in a drawing for a free latte.
