-- Finn, abuelita called to tell me she's sending you a care package, because she's worried you won't eat well enough in college and she says you're too skinny.
-- This is hands-down the best way to make a lot of friends very quickly, just for the record.
-- But 100% would not blame you if you wanted to hog it all because that's what I did at your age.

( I don't know. )

I don’t talk a whole lot about deeply personal stuff here, but others have been talking about their dreams openly, and so I guess I'm wondering if anyone's in the same boat I've found myself in. Not hoping for it, because I wouldn't wish this on other people, but wondering --

Has anyone else dreamt about dying? Not in the surreal sort of way that dreams take on sometimes, but with some sort of finality? Like you knew it really was the end of the line?

I got a Solo dump. I'm kind of glad it happened now, before school started. Talk about responsible and studious.

Best new booths to visit at Founder's Day?

[STAR WARS FAMILY]

I want you all to know that I do not trust Jyn Erso. It isn't that she is ultimately wrong or bad, but I am who I am and to be caught within her memories is an erasure that I scares won't permit. I'm Grace. And I'm going to stay Grace.

Instead of waiting for her master plan to unfold, then, I am taking matters into my own hands. If any of you want to watch Rogue One you can come over. I'll be in the living room starting at 10:00 P.

[ROJAS FAMILY & ROJAS ADJACENT]

We're all going to attend Founding Day tomorrow. Together. Do you understand me?

No anonymity this time. It's pretty public knowledge at this point that these dreams and memories are a pretty widespread issue, right? So I want to ask everyone who's been having them for help. How do you cope with a life that isn't yours but feels as much yours as your own is? The person I've dreamt about lost someone recently (recently for me, anyway, so I suppose that term is relative) and I find myself grieving the same way I would had I physically lived through it myself. How do you handle that? Has anyone else experienced loss that doesn't necessarily belong to them? I know that there's only more loss to come, thanks to being familiar with this person's story already even without the dreams and memories, and I [...] just want to know that I can face them without feeling like this when they inevitably come. Because if it feels like this now, I don't know how I'll even function through what's to come.

Anyway, thanks in advance for tuning into today's episode of Charlie Proves She's Crazy AF.

It isn't my place to hand-wring over you but I wanted to check in.

These memories/hallucinations are a zero sum game if they only make us angry or cause physical distress.

So, I'm not good at words but today felt like as good a day as any to try.

I've never known my father, which I never really felt much lacking over because I have an amazing Mom who filled in as both roles for a long time. I'm self aware enough to know that I'm not always the easiest to deal with, especially when I was younger. And then she met Diego and I don't think I totally understood back then just how much he'd change my life, even if I did know that I liked him. But he became a dad to me in a way I hadn't had before at a time in my life when I really needed one.

So, yeah. Happy Father's Day to my mom and dad. I love you guys and Molly, Hannah, and me are pretty lucky to have you.

FRIENDS

Eid isn't observed in Pakistan until tomorrow, so that's when I'll be observing it. My family is coming over to my place tomorrow to celebrate, but I wanted to extend the invitation to you all as well. You may not be blood, but you're the family I've chosen and that has chosen me and it would be an honor to include you, if you're interested. My family will be here more or less all day, but dinner will be around 5. Don't feel obligated, of course, but know you're welcome. There will be a lot of food courtesy of my mom and grandmas.

If you didn't make it to the private school graduation today, you missed out on one kickass speech by my beautiful and amazing valedictorian-y girlfriend. Just saying.

But I did film it and am not above showing it off to anyone who stands still long enough, so.

ANON POST TO ANON USERS (SORA, DIEGO, GRACE, MEHDI, FINN)

Leia here. Would anyone be interested in meeting for lunch on Saturday around 2?

It's been a LONG weekend of moving, unpacking, and decorating plus even longer than that with the renovations but, with the help of some seriously awesome people, I think the house is pretty near to perfect. I'm in loooooove with this place. ♥

Hello, Dunhaven!

I'm pretty sure everyone knows me because I am legitimately the loudest resident in this town but, for the sake of modesty, allow me to introduce myself to anyone who doesn't. I am Charlie Parker, a senior at Athena Academy. For one of my capstone projects, I am hosting a social experiment that requires your help. It's kind of like Post-Secret which, if you're unfamiliar with it, is a project that collects anonymous secrets on postcards. It's wonderful and I highly recommend it. I would like to conduct something similar here, though it would be isolated to the network versus mailing me your secrets. It's really easy to participate. All you have to do is leave me an anonymous secret here. All comments are anonymous in that even I won't be able to tell who posted them. Though anonymous, they will be public. Comments can be anything, even something as simple as song lyrics that speak to you but that you wouldn't share with other people normally.

Please help me, Dunhaven! You're my only hope of getting a passing grade on this capstone!

[OOC: Comment with your character journals as normal, not as anon. For IC purposes, we will still assume it's all anonymous to the characters. Thought this would be a good opportunity for people to find out that others are having weird dreams, too, among other things!!]

WHO: Grace Rojas
WHEN: This evening; her birthday
WHERE: Outside, just as the sun is setting
SUMMARY: Grace has a stolen moment

RUPERT, NINA, QUINCY, GRACE, DIEGO, & HUNTER

I know it's last minute, so I promise not to be offended if you can't make it. But I'm going to the Pourhouse on Wednesday to grab some drinks for my birthday. Would love to see you guys there if you can swing by.

Tomorrow, April 30th, is a really important day because tomorrow, April 30th, is my mom's birthday. So, if you see her around town, you should wish her a happy one. If anyone deserves good birthdays, as well as good every other days, it's my mom.
