You sure weren't kidding when you said something weird would be happening soon. I spent two hours in a mannequin sandwich, and that wasn't even the strangest part. Though from what I'm hearing, my room wasn't even that bad. I guess I should be happy I didn't have to walk a tightrope.

Anyway, I'm sorry for not stopping by the shop after the last time we forum chatted. I'll have to do that eventually. But for now, I just thought I'd drop you a line and see how you're doing. You make it through the Night of Insanity in one piece, witchy sister?

You still have fingernails?

It is nothing to worry for. Sometimes, this building makes people very busy, da?

It was ~~awful~~ ~~not so bad at the beginning, but then~~ ~~terrible for the emotions~~ overwhelming. I am not so sure [...] that I have processed everything yet. It is ~~horrible. I made the stupid mistake, I am thinking~~ hard for me to be making sense of everything so quickly.

You were trapped in a sandwich made of mannequins? Was then someone eating you?

I swear, we're all here because whoever pulls the strings in the universe thought that this planet needed a little more team-building.

Judging from what you just said, I'm inclined to say you had to watch A Clockwork Orange while on acid. Or am I way off-base?

~~I don't know if he might~~ ~~Vampirism is the same as cannibalism~~ No, it was just a room so full of them that to walk, you were kind of sandwiched in between them. It was a big scavenger hunt, totally lame.

	A Clockwork Orange? There is movie about oranges that are also clocks? ~~America is very strange with cinema.~~ I do not think I would have liked your room very much. But perhaps it would not have been as bad as my own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If only. It's a very weird older movie. Never mind, don't worry about it. You and Luther are perfect for each other - you're both more clueless than Alicia Silverstone, and neither of you would ever know what that means.

Mine was stupid, but not so bad. ~~Aside from the whole "three strangers now know about my magic and one of them is a murdering bloodsucker" thing.~~ But yours was? What'd you have to do?

I am sorry, I am not too familiar with the American movies. ~~They are very hard to be understanding.~~

~~It was~~ ~~We had to~~ There was a chapel. The plaque asked us to confess obsessions. This was not so bad. There had to be a wedding. This would not have been so bad, except that one of the men who was there is a man who I am ~~seeing~~ ~~dating~~ ~~why is English so hard to write~~ ~~this dictionary is useless~~ interested in. Is interested the right word? I am sorry if it is not. We are friends, I think. ~~But after last night I am~~ Now, I am not so sure.

Don't be sorry. I make a lot of references, it isn't your fault that you don't get them all.

Wow, that's really weird. It sounds like a shitty night, I'm sorry. And I guess "interested" is the right word, if you like him. If you're interested in somebody, you like them, and might want to be more than friends, but you're still kind of figuring it out.

Why aren't you so sure anymore? Did the wedding thing turn you off?

I am figuring it out. It is hard. I am ~~confused~~ uncertain of many things, I am sorry. You are his friend, I am thinking? You, of course, may tell him these things.

The wedding... I ran from him. I was a coward, I think, now. I am still uncertain, but of that I am sure. And now, I am not knowing how to make it up to him. I should not have run, but I was very overwhelmed. It is hard for me.

~~WHAT THE FUCK, LADY~~ ~~ARE YOU A MIND-READER TOO?~~ ~~I'D TELL HIM ANYWAY WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION SO THERE~~

~~No, I have no idea who he~~ ~~Fuck Luther is going to kill me~~ ~~Denial is only for the guilty~~ ~~I'll just ignore it~~

It's a confusing situation, I bet. And you can't blame yourself for getting overwhelmed. Anybody would be, I mean. If it had been me instead of you, I'd probably still be hiding under my bed now. But you should sort things out on your own first. Because while a little uncertainty is okay - nobody's really sure of anything - you don't want to make it up to him while you're still thinking through it. That won't do either of you any favors.

	Da, I know. I am [...] trying to sort things out. He did nothing wrong, but I was behaving poorly. I do not want to put you in also a bad place.

Well she's overwhelmed, which makes sense. And I think she feels guilty for "bad behavior," so I guess she thinks she overreacted or something. And she also said you didn't do anything wrong.

Let me restate this.

You didn't do anything wrong.

She said that completely out of the blue, so it's not like I pried. She also said she was interested in you, and that now she isn't sure what to think because of the overwhelming stuff and I guess her own reaction.

Clearly she feels like she did. And let me tell you, trying to make a guilty person feel not guilty is like teaching a narwhal how to recite Shakespeare. So that battle was lost before it even started.

~~You're telling me? I'm practically a note being passed between Insecure Girl and Insecure Boy in a generic teen movie.~~ Nope. By the way, your homework is due Monday, and you have detention tomorrow. Don't forget or you get five demerits.

It better be. I feel like James fucking Bond with all this checking in on people shit, but at least he had an unlimited supply of martinis and a bunch of hotties to bang. I get warm beer and Netflix. I thought it would be. She doesn't hate you. You guys probably just need some time to think. ~~Or whine to your friends and/or the entire fucking building.~~

It never is.

Oh right, I forgot. If your right pinky toe fell out of line, you'd lop it off and send it to jail with the rest of the evil piggies.

[...]

~~Murder is bad. Killing is wrong. And shaving his head while he sleeps won't solve anything.~~ I think you should wait. She mentioned wanting to make it up to you, and just from what she's said on this forum, I think she needs some time alone. If you approach her now, she might explode, and ~~I am not cleaning her brains off your floor~~ nobody wants that.
