Do you need a hug?

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

Having you near is helping.

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

Okay.

[Another shoulder squeeze.]

Its a lot of feelings.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

... Yeah.

It's a lot.

[ And it's only gonna get MORE. ]

I dunno what to choose ...

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

...its tempting to choose the one that's nicest for you.

Isn't it?

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

... In a way. Yeah.

[ Her wings droop. ]

I don't wanna make it about me.

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

I didn't either.

So I just choose the one to make things...easier for him.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ She looks at the items, lingering on the ice skate. Sighs, rubbing her arm, shoulders tucked in. ]

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

...you're wonderful.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

Donnie-?

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

You're wonderful.

An amazing person.

He's always going to adore you.

How can he not?

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ She starts to say something, only to visibly stop herself. ]

... No takebacksies. I know that ...

But still ...

[ She runs her fingers across the skate, uncertain. Almost delicate. Then the arcade machine, and the pendant. ]

The cupcake felt like opening a door. The ice skate ... like a leap of faith. [ Taps the arcade machine. ] Getting punched in the gut. [ The pendant ... ] Taking a stand. [ And brutal revenge. ]

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

[He edges closer to her.]

Its not like the memories will be gone. The ones you don't use. I don't think he'd do that to himself.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Mm. That's not what I'm worried about. I'm just -

Fussy.

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

You don't want to feel like you're cheating.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

Don't wanna feel like I'm cheating.

Don't wanna feel like I'm taking the easy route to avoid making waves, when sometimes ... sometimes you have to.

[ Back over to the scaffolding plans. ]

Sorry, I ... I know I'm going around and around in circles here.

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

Its hard.

Its tempting. To make sure things are solid. Stable.

When you feel like it shouldn't be so easy.

Sometimes you just...have to commit when you have the impulse.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

Right. Sometimes you have to commit.

[ ... she says, still hesitating, because Oh No. ]

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

....want me to count down and the first thing you say is what goes in?

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

[ Shakes her head. ]

No. I - thanks, but I think I need to make the decision properly. One way or another.

Sorry, Donnie. It's probably annoying to watch this.

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

You're never annoying.

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

- I'm very capable of being annoying!

Re: Lobby

[othellovonryan]

You're never annoying unless you're trying.

1/2

[bluediligence]

That's objectively-

[ clicks a button on a keychain ]

Re: Lobby

[bluediligence]

PILLOWFORT!

[ Clicky button created an INSTANT PILLOWFORT. Very soft and enjoyable and big enough to share!! ]

[ excuse her, she's diving right the fuck in there ]
