mental link; whichever day is today

[shiro2hero]

[The mental voice is... hesitant. Like he's trying his best to modulate his tone, and not sure if he's speaking too loudly or too softly.]

(This has probably been a long time coming... but I have to admit. I'm not good with people in my head.) [A flicker of regret and flashing images quickly stifled.] (Or at controlling what goes through my mind. Someone here called them flashbacks. Guess that works out.)

(It's a long story.)

[So please don't ask, goes unsaid, but like a lot of things here, it's probably felt.]

(But it's been affecting others here, and for that, I'm sorry. I need to be better at this. So I'm asking for help...)

[So he doesn't accidentally overwhelm the wrong person with the wrong memory. Or panic right in front of someone.]

(And before anyone asks - the answer to 'are you okay' is ... not something I want to talk about right now. Sorry.)

[Wait, wait, crap. How does he close this. There's a flustered feeling before just... the mental image of a closed comm connection. He figures that's as good as anything.]

[For anyone who wants to talk in person, he's hauled himself back up onto the roof, bundled up into an oversized hoodie. Black, of course. Hands shoved into his pockets. Probably being all brooding-looking while inside, he's just wondering what it's like to pilot one of the vehicles he sees zooming around.]

(You'd be surprised how many people get angry when you don't believe what they believe.)

[ She knows this intellectually, that this is generally the way, but she had lived within the heart of madness a long time. A place where reason did not matter, one had to... keep their own measure of things where they could. A feat of will with the heat of the Godking evaporating every thought. ]

( I care very little for the tantrums others throw. )

[ This is why she is actively fighting both Lexa and Ren at the moment.... Ilde can be so calm and pleasant, but she can also be icy and viperous. It's fine. Don't worry about it. ]

[shiro2hero]

(That's a good stance to take.)

[He means it. There's no empty flattery in the words. He's impressed, and sees nothing wrong with saying so.]

(Probably saves you a lot of headaches.)

[erbier]

[ Oh my god. A sigh. ]

( One would think. )

[shiro2hero]

(Run into a lot of stubborn people?)

[erbier]

( Just enough to be frustrating. )

(If it helps anything, at least you're not the only one in that boat.)
