LIAM & AVERY

Hi. What does Sunday, May 19th look like for the two of you?

WHO: Thea Perkins & Gareth Stone
WHEN: May 13, 2019 (just after midnight)
WHERE: Their Home
SUMMARY: He liked it so he let her decide if she wanted to put a ring on it (and then she made him put a ring on it)
WARNINGS: None!

( It doesn't have to be a another-year-and-a-day-versary to get a decent goodnight kiss, though I'll do my best if that's what the day really is. )

TEXT TO GARETH

-- I'm s
-- I brought over all but four of the boxes.
-- The last of the furniture I was selling was picked up today, as well.
-- I can bring the rest to your place in the morning? Maybe?

TEXTS TO GARETH

-- I didn't go to work today.

TEXTS TO LIAM

-- Would you come over for a little while?

WHO: Thea Perkins
WHEN: Tuesday, April 23, 2019; Early Morning
WHERE: Her apartment
SUMMARY: Thea wakes up and is torn between two worlds, both of which are painful to live in.
WARNINGS: Chronic pain, mentions of betrayal, being drugged

( Honor has no place in survival. )

Because I know how the Dunhaven rumor mill works, and I'd rather you hear it from me, you should know that I passed out at work today. I'm totally, 100%, completely fine, though. I promise.

One of my clients had some kind of [...] powers manifest during their appointment. Whatever it is, it was touch-activated, and [...] short-circuited me, for lack of a better term. I wasn't out for more than two or three minutes, though, and there's no lasting harm done.

I did take the rest of the afternoon off work, but that was just because it seemed like a good excuse to have half a Monday off, not because I needed it for medical reasons. Honest.

Happy birthday to Thea who will, no matter how old she gets, always be my baby sister. Love you, T. 🖤

WHO: Thea Perkins
WHEN: Tuesday, March 12, 2019; Morning
WHERE: Her apartment!
SUMMARY: Thea remembers her most recent dreams and reflects on the things that bring both her and Cyra joy.
WARNINGS: Mentions of pain

( She didn’t need a Sojourn festival to feel the drums--that was what Gareth was for, after all. )

My own dreams have made me particularly introspective recently, so I decided it's time for another anonymous post. This one isn't for any academic purpose (though each post is inherently good data for academic purposes despite their individual intentions), but it seems that a lot of us have found them cathartic. So, as usual, feel free to comment below--you will be anonymous unless you choose to be unmasked.

What lesson(s) have you learned from yourself the person you've been dreaming about?

My greatest lesson has been learning to truly value the people in my life who care about me. I already did, but there's something to be said for consciously recognizing that value each time I think of them.

TEXT TO THEA

-- Any chance you're free to have lunch with your brother?

Guess who has four interviews this week? If your guess was Thea Perkins, you would be correct.

RHYS/LYLLIA'S FRIENDS & FAMILY

Just wanted to let you all know that Lyllia was just admitted into the hospital and it looks like the newest Stone will arrive in the near future. We're at the hospital here in town and I'll give updates as things progress!

WHO:  Gareth Stone & Thea Perkins
WHEN: Thursday, February 7, 2019; Evening
WHERE:  Thea's Apartment (Pine Ridge)
SUMMARY: Gareth finds Thea's eviction notice, asks her again to move in with him, and she resists.
WARNINGS: None
BINGO PROMPT(S):  Terrible Pick-Up Lines

( You see moving in with me as a loss, as a failure. That's no kind of ground to build a foundation on. )

GARETH

You said her name was Cyra, right? Cyra Noavek.

LIAM

Looks like you're no longer the only Perkins with dreams, as it turns out.
