Hi. I know the last time we saw each other, it didn't go well. Which was my fault, I know. I'm sorry, really. I know you were just trying to look out for me, and I lost my temper when you didn't deserve it. You were right. Everything you said was right.

Lena and I talked, and I've stopped drinking again. I haven't gone back to AA yet, but I will. I'm planning on going tonight.

Anyway, this isn't about me. I saw that Loki got brought into whatever time loop nonsense is going on, and I just wanted to see if you were okay.

	I know it hasn't been that long but I've missed you - still was worried, and I'm glad to hear that you're going back to AA. I can even go with you tonight? Might need a break from watching the feed of that loop. Which, yeah, I'm okay. Mostly. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I would say that seems like a depressing way to spend your evening, but it can't be worse than the feed. So, sure. I wouldn't mind you coming along. I know it can't be easy. I'd still be neck deep in a bottle of Lena hadn't gotten sucked into this, too. But it'll resolve itself. It always seems to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright - it's at 7, I think? We can grab food beforehand, if you want. I've been practicing cooking lesson homework for both me and Prue, since she's stuck there in the loop too. It's not easy and you'd think getting used to this sort of thing would happen - but I don't think anyone is used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a good homework buddy. I'm sure she'll appreciate it. Food sounds good. I won't make you cook, though; we can just grab fast food. There are certain things I'm okay getting used to. This isn't one of them. I never want to become numb to insane shit happening to people I care about. It feels like losing your humanity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fast food sounds good for some reason. Cholesterol is comforting. You're right about that. I never want to get used to it either. And I know it's, in theory, not going to last long - but I understand how frustrated Loki felt about the cupboard thing now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, the useless, 'I can't do anything to fix this' feeling is possibly one of the worst feelings in the world. I understand the frustration, believe me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vallo really likes clobbering us over the head with those feelings, doesn't it? Give us a break. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think Vallo knows the meaning of those words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It should damn well learn. How is Lena, by the way? With the magic and everything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnvers 2022-03-17 11:23 am UTC (link)
	She's coping. Nothing's on fire? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timedoor 2022-03-17 11:32 am UTC (link)
	That's definitely an improvement from before, so I'll take it. Baby steps, I guess? Mastering magic doesn't come overnight, especially since she doesn't know much about her family history from what I'm gathering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnvers 2022-03-17 11:40 am UTC (link)
	None of us had any idea her mom was a witch, no. She didn't really know much about her at all prior to this, since she died when Lena was so young. She's just frustrated because she had a handle on it back home and feels like she doesn't have the same control here. I know she'll get there, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timedoor 2022-03-17 11:54 am UTC (link)
	She'll get there. Did she have anything of her mother's that may help? It could always show up here. A grimoire or another spell book or something - long shot, but. At least she wouldn't have to start from scratch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnvers 2022-03-17 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	I think so. I’ll have to ask her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timedoor 2022-03-17 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	Fingers crossed. At the very least, there are plenty of tutors available here. Hard to ask for help sometimes, but - it can be necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnvers 2022-03-17 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	She’s been dealing with Margo and Ostyia on that front already. I don’t think it’s exactly the same thing, but if she’s happy, I’m happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timedoor 2022-03-17 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	Same - if she's happy, I'm happy. We're connected like that. At least we still get to nerd out over tech together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnvers 2022-03-17 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad she has you for that. She needs it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
