Hi. It’s Reggie’s birthday tomorrow. We just had a Prescott party so I’m not going to put everyone through that, but I’ll be making her go to the Lobby and all of you will be buying her drinks I’m sure. Some more facts about this day so you can be fully educated on its importance include:

The most exciting people who share this birthday are Beck so she has to share. Formerly born politicians Joe Biden and Robert F Kennedy also were born on this day but are probably dead. Updated.

This makes her a Scorpio. Scorpios are loyal and mysterious. That’s all I know about the zodiac.

Also this day in 1959 celebrated the declaration of rights of the child which probably Reggie would have wanted even before she was a child.

In 1993 I ruined her birthday by breaking my arm in three pieces at the roller rink and I’m still making up for it

[Prescott leaders Not Reggie]

Please also consider this me calling in sick for her for tomorrow night. Turn her away at the door if she tries to work. I’ll cover as many other shifts as I have to.

uhhhhhh

do you want me to like

make you a trophy out of scrap metal for being badass?

Holy shit yes. Make it out of the Providence Ridge 4H Welcomes You sign and I'll clue it to the fire engine.

arlo you gotta help me go get the shit for this please thx

but maybe i wanna be petty cause she said she don't know anything about me

i feel like shes way up in her head all the time and probs doesnt know shit about most people

if that helps

i assume she just thinks my name is baby rattray

she's known you for like 2 months [...] i'm just having like feelings about stuff

and having feelings sucks sometimes. so

Edited 2024-11-20 00:45 (UTC)

yeah thats fair

and having feelings is fair too and does totally suck sometimes

you dont gotta help if itll make you feel better cause sometimes being petty really does hit the spot

after going to danforth for court's thing her shit's just layin on thick that what i had at the dfd ain't gonna happen no more. which ain't her fault

i'll help you cause i wanna hang out

[...] yeah but its hard to get reminded of shit so even if its not her fault it still feels bad

sometimes i get a little sad when im hangin out with blanche

ill let you spray paint a little dick on reggies thing somewhere if you want

it also sucks being told i can't do my job but i just gotta deal with that.

i'm happy you got blanche out though

yeah that'd make me feel at least like [...] three bits better

Edited 2024-11-20 01:18 (UTC)

wait whos saying you cant do your job?? youre not like secretly still feeling super bad are you

yeah me too

wish ms lorraine had made it but apocalypse or no she was on her way out so that sort of helps i guess

deal you can also do one non lewd thing too if you want but it can also be mean like a poop or something

ok well she said i can't mop but that's still part of my job. it's like the general distrust that feels bad when i'm down

at least ms lorraine got the mercy out. [...] i liked her

an F i bet that's the scariest thing to her

Edited 2024-11-20 01:25 (UTC)

you can come mop here if itll make you feel better

yeah def i wouldnt want her to have to deal with all this

she was really great wasnt she? im glad bunny and i got to be with her for a while

lmao like spray paint a piece of lined paper with a big red f on it

bro that's the most suspicious thing i could do for everybody you live with. nobody trusts a guy who just comes in n cleans

the system sucked but she was one of the good people

it'd haunt her til the end of her days.

was gonna say you can come clean me n bunnys containers but theyre clean so like [...] you can clean something clean if you want

maybe let the mop thing go

yeah 10000% we got super lucky

thatd be pretty funny honestly

focusing on the mop thing's easier than the bigger thing.

i'm gonna do it unless i feel bad n chicken out

you can tell me all your bad feelings if you want since i got that psy d

the psy d is a joke but the offer isnt

dont chicken out dude

Edited (link ooc just love backlinking lmfao) 2024-11-20 01:45 (UTC)

[...] i spent pretty much the past week dumpin em all on court i gotta stop making my problems everybody else's

ok then i get to think about the mop for a lil bit longer so i have the fire in me. for an F

im asking you dude

also your problems are my problems whether you tell me or not since youre my brother and i love you

k ill allow it

[...] between you, bunny, and court i got more folks from before than anybody else around here so it makes me sound like a dick. but trying to pull myself up again after the divorce was [...] rough and now that i'm ready i feel like everybody's moved on and idk how to catch up. so i wonder if i even should. so it's lonely

Edited (sighs @ nat 20) 2024-11-20 02:14 (UTC)

[.....]

so like in therapy theyd sometimes say like [...] by sayin other people have it worse it was just deflecting and stopped you from actually like dealin with your shit cause you were telling yourself it shouldnt be shit in the first place

i dont think youre behind cause everything is at everyones own pace and also i think people are harder to read now because they got all shut up from the apocalypse so who even knows where people are

i know its not the same but you always got me [...] im sorry its lonely

[...] ok. well. then y'all can ignore everything else i said except for the last bit. most's self-inflicted cause i don't wanna sleep in the bunkhouse where it's court's space or in the school where we lived together. so i been focusing on work cause that always helped but it don't feel like a family like i had at my station in danforth. and that just puts me back in the shitty sad loop all over again

flirtin with everything that moves don't feel the same neither so i can't even distract myself with somebody else.

like is this just life now

[...] i know i do n i love you

Edited 2024-11-20 03:02 (UTC)

maybe sleepin in the school can be like some exposure therapy or something? or like you should start doing other stuff in there to reduce the association and maybe itll be easier then to sleep there?

i think its just still adjustment you know cause like [...] were also kinda in the middle of some crazy shit in general

might not be exactly the same as it was but dont see why itd never change

youre seriously the best big brother on the planet even before the apocalypse

i did for a couple months before you showed up then again after the pumper got the storm leak. and when i got bit cause of the field hospital. it didn't get better. i gotta winterize the truck now

~~ok but i wanna GET LA~~ guess we can hope for that

when mama told us she was pregnant again i was pretty pissed off but you made everything about growin up better [...] you fuckin dweeb

[...] did you talk to court about the bunkhouse? see what she thinks? i really dont want you sleepin in a truck all winter

even im in a container

haha got you to tell me you love me and i made your life better
