[ok but please stop making Mal mentall apply the adjective 'cute' to you Arya it's not healthy]

[joshing]

yeah ok

illuminate me

[elltee]

Yessir.

Placement of straps on this particular corset?

[joshing]

[elltee]

Ah, that model.

Bottom straps are for the bells.

[joshing]

the what

[elltee]

The bells. You'll know about the bells. The small ones?

[joshing]

i definitely do not know about the bells

[elltee]

Oh, Josh. You have so much to learn.

Tried it on yet?

UN: neque-illic

[transferred from this]

I'm sorry, I forgot I could message your device directly.

I promise to be specific

but I think I have to ask first:

do you believe in werewolves?

1/2

[joshing]

no jesus christ

[joshing]

will we be square if i do?

[elltee]

[HmmmMMMmmmmmm, part ii.]

In the rumours and exaggerations of, or in the general existence of? Cautious no to the first with the caveat that I was raised not quite wrong but with certain traditions i.e., fondly cherished prejudices and have had some hairy (ha ha) personal experiences to suggest there might be a few silvery kernels of truth; definite yes to the second, for all of the aforementioned reasons and, also, you would have to be pretty dim to pretend to disbelieve the existence of The Dreaded Other.

Follow up question from me: why? Quite important, that.

[elltee]

Rather curiver than square, for your part, at least.

[every instinct, innate and excruciatingly trained, is screaming (howling) against putting this in writing. At all. Let alone to someone he doesn't actually know.

But he needs help. And just sitting and waiting or taking on faith is not enough. And somehow, of those he's talked to so far… with his faith in the written voice, right or wrong… this person feels right.]

I am one

don't know in what way may square or not with your experiences or exaggerations, can compare

but I don't know how it will manifest here with no moon

if I should just lock myself away indefinitely

[…he has in fact found an isolated space… but doesn't know how to fortify it against him getting out or others getting in… and the prospect of "indefinitely" is, unbeknownst to him, putting tears back on his face… and the question actually becomes if I should just kill myself after all.]

[elltee]

Oh.

[Unhelpful.]

I suggest not locking away indefinitely. Firstly because you'll quickly get bored. I am familiar with the indefinite. Secondly, locking may prove tricky, as you never know when a door will open in your wall and deliver the unexpected.

Tried wishing things up yet?

[joshing]

you know what i mean

[timenssecundus]

Agreed, that's my concern

Wishing? No - seems like something to save for
knowing what to -

have you?

[elltee]

I do.

We will be less physically, more metaphorically square, yes.

[elltee]

Sometimes without even meaning to, yes.

Specificity seems to be the byword. Otherwise: whole cow when you want only the milk, and then what do you do with the cow? And so on. In your case I think this would perhaps be a little different but even so.

Think of the strongest door you can. With about a thousand locks. And behind it... the ideal werewolf landscape. I'm given to understand that is a moor of some sort. Possibly a dark forest, mountainous, coniferous.

@ stacy's moms. mass text.

[ ooc: idk if you know but your ic contact on the taken page links to a protected entry? thought i'd mention it while i was here. ]

[ the wording may not make it too obvious, but. this is a text tony sent out to every device with a connection to the network; why he didn't just make a normal update? reasoning lost to the ages. ]



u might be the one...

who owns this ring. is this urs?

[timenssecundus]

That is an excellent idea - though still leaves the problem of knowing if/when transformation may occur -

Though I suppose if such wishing works before any door - transformation is not instantaneous, so if I practice wishing now, I increase the likelihood of being able to do so if/while feeling a spell coming on

Thank you very much for your good advice - and for listening at all

especially when we haven't actually met

[elltee]

May I also suggest that, when opening doors, you concentrate on rooms that exist in safe portions of the lunar cycle. No forests lit by that troublesome silver orb. It seems as if day/night doesn't much matter from room to room so you might be able to avoid the extra hair entirely.

That being said I've not really done much but I will accept your thanks anyways. These days meeting via these devices is the best that we do. Until of course we end up locked in a cupboard together, or, you know, meeting in a forest of sweets.

Incidentally I'm called Mal.

(ty for telling me about the locked link y i k e s)

[elltee]

Absolutely not my style.

(np brosis. actually i think like three ppl had broken links)

[fe_male]

ok thx
