OKAY, I have a secret but it honestly seems really personal and sad and I don't want to say what it is. I tore it up into tiny pieces and threw it away.

But I will say this -- whoever you are, everyone makes mistakes. And I'm sure you did what you thought was best at the time.

UNRELATED: If you need costume help for the masquerade, I'm at Threads all weekend to help. Spooky, sparkly, sultry -- I got you covered. Come find me!

	Yes to costumes! enid I think we might have each others… but when I knew you before… you shared some things. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Come by tomorrow! I'll help you find something. Luz .....oh wow. What did it say? Even if it's not mine, I promise I won't say anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Will do. enid Hoping you never completely transform into a werewolf? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know if it's better or worse that I already knew? We had a lot of werewolves at the last place I was at. Does anyone else here know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Enid & Luz howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	Wednesday could probably guess. We've talked about it enough. But I -- I wanted to transform as much as I didn't, if that makes sense. If it did, I thought it'd make things easier. If I didn't.....well, that's complicated to explain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Enid & Luz luz_the_human 2023-10-28 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	I get it. I mean, not that I'm a werewolf, but I get things being complicated. When I was in the demon realm, I missed my mom and wanted to go home, but I also ... didn't... even though it hurt her for me to be away. Especially when she didn't know where I was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm just trusting this stays between us, but

....my mom and I don't get along. Even when I was a kid, she was hard to deal with and it's only gotten worse. Finally turning didn't solve those problems, it just made her stop obsessing about what might be wrong with my lycanthropy. She just replaced that worry with other stuff.

If I didn't turn, I wouldn't be part of a pack. Essentially, I'd be shunned by werewolves at home. That's fucking terrifying, but it's also kind of a relief because my obligation to stay with my family and our pack wouldn't exist.

But I'm sorry about everything with your mom. I don't know what that's like, but I can imagine it'd be painful.

Of course, I won't tell anyone.

I'm sorry. That's a really sucky situation to grow up in. It couldn't have been easy.

Is there a lot of pressure to stay with your family & pack? That'd be hard for me. I'm very much a march to my old drummer type of person.

Yeah, there were a lot of rough moments, but it worked out in the end. She came to join us in trying to save the demon realm. And ended up being okay with me going back there for witch university.

...

Do you want to grab some coffee/tea/pastries on your break or when you're done with work?

	It's okay. I'm used to it, so it's not a big deal. But yes. Even if you marry or move away, the pressure is to stay with your pack or join the pack of a mate. Sure, that'd be nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Are you sure?~~ Are you a coffee person? Or tea? Hot cocoa? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Enid & Luz howlingrainbow 2023-10-29 12:16 pm UTC (link)
	More coffee than tea. Always hot cocoa. Unless it's like, the middle of summer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Enid & Luz luz_the_human 2023-10-31 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Let's do hot cocoa then. Maybe they have some fun ones for fall at the bakery. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, I'd love to see what you'd do. And what supplies Threads have! If you need any extra help too... I can give a hand. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think we've got like sewing supplies, but sometimes stuff just shows up that maybe isn't traditional stock. So you never know. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you're determining the wardrobe of everyone else, it's only fair you share what you're wearing — excessive glitter and all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	There actually isn't any glitter. Just a some rhinestones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're being uncharacteristically evasive. Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not! I was just telling you there's no glitter. It wasn't planned, it just happened that way. I'm going as a unicorn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tormenta 2023-10-28 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Oh I'm sure you'll look appropriately ethereal in the same way extinct creatures are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	That's the plan! Assuming I don't trip over the dress. It's almost too long for me to walk in. Do you want help finding something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If we go, Thing and I can be pallbearers holding your train. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	Because unicorns are extinct? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absentart 2023-10-28 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	We've got them back home. Definitely not extinct there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	OMG REALLY??! I need to go there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absentart 2023-10-28 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah really. No idea how you'd get to, mostly because I don't know if the portal thing that got us here lets us just go visit other places. Could ask if it does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-28 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	That would be so freaking cool if we could. But I'd probably never leave. Or just die from the excitement of seeing an ACTUAL unicorn. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tormenta 2023-10-28 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Because what little ability I have to navigate social gatherings is dead. Also, I was told I can't go as a murder victim. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Someone unrelated to your department objected to there being "excessive amounts of blood" and "a missing limb." It's fine. Maybe I'll haunt the hallways outside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howlingrainbow 2023-10-29 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	Aw. But I wanted you to come with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
