-- depravedPhantasm[DP] began pestering hallowedNightmare[HN] --

DP: Why do I have to prove anything?
DP: why don't *you* prove you're my brother, huh?
HN: I wasn’t the one 13 hours late for our meeting.
DP: ...
DP: Fine.
DP: Just remember.
DP: You asked for it.
HN: ...
DP: I know you're Derrick Willford, age 15.
DP: (No middle names!)
DP: your birthday is December 23rd, same as me.
DP: (But I'm like twenty minutes older and that makes me the alpha twin).
DP: Your favourite snack is marshmallows.
DP: (Same as mine!)
DP: Your pesterchum handle is hallowedNightmare
HN: ....
DP: Oh wait, that's too 'easy' right?
DP: 'something only my sister would know' I believe is what you said?
DP: Hooooow about the fact you got that handle based on that ultra-edgy, thinly veiled self-insert OC you called 'Nightmare', that you wrote stories about when we were kids.
HN: ...
HN: What does 'OC' mean?
DP: And you'd write these emo ass stories about him being so cool and powerful and had like huge ass sword.
HN: Okay, first of all, fuck you, I was like 6.
HN: Second of all, you took over the story, then made your own character who had had barbed wire whip chains, you can't judge *anyone*.
DP: Or how about when you decided you looked cool in that huge moon shirt and stripped shorts so that's literally all you would wear.
HN: (You can stop now, I believe you.)
DP: And since you didn't want to change into anything else, mom had to buy you like 9 more of the exact same shirt and pants.
DP: School called asking why you wore the same clothing for like 2 months in a row, brother.
HN: I said you could stop!
DP: Or how about when you bugged the hell out of dad to buy you that poster of the monster in the woods and he didn't want to because he knew it'd scare you.
DP: And mom and I told him 'don't do it, he's gonna get scared'.
HN: Okay, enough.
DP: And sure enough, night *0*.
DP: 'Hey sister, can I sleep in your room?'
DP: 'The entity came out of the poster and said he'd eat my soul.'
HN: IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.
DP: That's right, I'm pretty sure you were crying.

You quickly log off and go back to the page you were supposed to be working on.
The teacher passes you by, and you pretend to be very deeply concentrated in what you are doing. Thankfully code naturally looks like button smashing anyway, so your screen is nice and appropriately filled. The teacher passes you by without incident.

That’s a good point, you were lucky the teacher didn’t see you playing around in class, computer studies is a class you have no particular interest in and usually scrape by. Also, you’ll be home in like an hour.
On the other hand, Derrick was being particularly bitchy today, and you could always just ask Garreth to keep an eye out while you continue to chat- though considering what he just said, he may not be on board with this.

There he goes again, the saltiest little violin in the world. You promptly get back to work. Or more accurately, googling how to get your work done.

A few minutes before class ends, Garreth informs you about some better ways to go about some problems you have. With some luck you'll be able to remember it tomorrow!

Your classes are all done for today, time to go home!

It's Lexii! You stop to see what she wants.

You agree to walk together.

Lexii sure can talk! While you walk her to the dry cleaner, she tells you all about this mystery novel she's been reading, some reality TV shows you may check out later, as well as some interesting brain scenarios to keep things sharp upstairs!

You feel you are better at reading her from this conversation!

Alice: Rack up even more debt from Lexii by insisting you'll pay for her instead. This should help solidify your position in their friend group.

Lexii looks close to tears, it seems your comments meant a lot more to her than you expected. You get the feeling she may be a bit insecure about certain aspects of herself.

You finally arrive to Timmies and get a table while Lexii brings your orders...and some extra treats!

Score! Even compliments you *do* mean pay off well.

Is there anything you want to talk about with Lexii while you consume your delicious and affordable beverages?

1) How did she meet her friends.
2) Any hot updates on what she's working on currently.

Silly Alice, the best ways of getting people to feel a certain way are to actually mean what you said.

The conversation quickly moves to lighter topics, but never quite comes back to the easy flow from before. You part on an awkward note and make your way back home.

And you're back home! You put your schoolbag in it's proper place and check your phone.

As expected, your brother left a significant number of text messages and missed calls. You delete them without a shred of regret. After all, you already made up and will talk to him later.

CJayoj · 09-12-2018, 12:39 AM

You do have that sweater to finish, and you think with some dedication you might be able to get it done by tonight. Unfortunately knitting allows you to think without interruption, and with all that's happened today, it's natural your path down memory lane is a dark one.

You don't want to think about your parents, but you do. It's like their death was the start line for the universe to figure out how much shit it could cram in your life in a 2-year period. A dedicated scale of 'from bad to worse', circa your tender 8’s.

The accident, your brother's insomnia and night terrors, foster care, the bullying, being separated, the whole mess with the window, the-

Nope. You're not going there.

You are having that shower you missed. Right now.

You take your iPad and a change of clothes, then go to the bathroom take a shower. The water and the first radio station you find quickly put your memories back in the dark, dusty corner where they belong.

You find extremely doubtful you could have fallen asleep while in the shower, and you certainly don't remember having gone to sleep once, much less twice in a row, but may as well check.

You turn off the music, then attempt to make another key. Nothing happens.

You pad closer to the door to see if you can hear anything outside, but just as you're leaning in, the door handle shifts! Someone's trying to get in!

You return to your room after a quick dinner with your guardian. It's still early but you are all knitted out and don't feel like working on the sweater. That'll give you time to spruce it up a bit more over the weekend.

what should you do next?

>It may be wise to test out some theories about sleeping before you go to bed. Perhaps see what will and what won't manifest in the dream world. Otherwise another trip down memory lane might give you something to think about before it comes time to return the dream world.
