[Text] (With Pictures!)

So it's day 2 of Ikea madness,
and I figured we should set up some kind of cragslist situation,
so that people can get rid of things they really don't want.
Or if you for some reason feel like filling your house with this stuff
follow your dreams?

Anyway I found this yesterday:

[Attached is a photo of a very odd table, the front half of it, anyway. It's sticking out of an apartment wall at an odd angle, legs mostly horizontal. There's a second photo of the back half, which appears to be in another room.

A jacket is hanging off of one of the hooves. Looks like someone has found a use for it, at least.]

If anyone knows how to get this out of the wall
without like, destroying said wall
they're welcome to it.
But to be honest I'm kind of getting used to it.
Might call it "Dave".
This I'm not too keen on:

[Another image, this one of a kind of unsettling chair.]

Frankly you can just have it.
Please.

[Everyone is welcome to post their new furniture they don't want, or offers to acquire more. Michael is not going to moderate, but it's a platform at least!]

Congratulations, I guess?
Good to know he'll do stuff like that.
Hope seems like the nicest out of them, from what I can tell so far.

Thanks!
It's nice to be able to jam out again, honestly.

Hope's a bit serious but
he's the one who revives everyone so it makes sense he can grow limbs back too
Sorrow's a bit intimidating at first but he's not all that bad after a while

[ Or she just gets turned on by danger? Your pick. ]

he gave us the orchard so he's the dude to ask about plants
Delight's the absolute best
I bummed some paint off her once
(if you see the little roses painted on the temples, that was me)
Fear's a dweeb who tries to act cool
Rage is every bit as terrifying as she wants us to think she is
Confusion's a sassmaster
Tranquility is the resident stoner
Love's... well, Love's probably just what you'd expect. a careless pink glowcloud

[Michael appreciates the rundown.]

Why's Sorrow intimidating?
I'd think he'd be more
well
sad?
Depressing?

[Meaning Michael probably shouldn't interact with him.]

And "a careless pink glowcloud" was not what I was expecting but
good to know anyway.

because Sorrow doesn't give two flying fucks about any of us here besides the energy we give him
and he'll be the first to let you know
but he's definitely got the quiet somber scary thing going on

i mean people usually associate pink with love, right?
and love in general is... messy
just like Love the god is

Sure sounds like a pleasant guy.
And I guess.
I usually think of red,
but pink is definitely like
a Valentine's Day color.

he's my favorite
（*’∀’人）♥

red makes me think of fire
but love also makes me want to burn things
so that's not actually too far off the mark ig

Your favorite?
Really?
Why?
Not in a mean way.
Also I'm not sure burning things is a good love reaction.
But what the hell do I know.

have you seen him
major hottie alert
but seriously, it was actually just... something he told me when i first got here
kind of stuck with me. and then when everything was going to hell here,
he told me I was needed. gave me lots of warm fuzzies and now we're friends
(he won't say we are, but we totes are)

it's the best reaction to love
kill it
kill it with fire

I haven't seen any of them yet.
But if I see a hot one,
I guess I'll know which one it is.
What did he say to you when you first got here?

And uh.
I think you might be mistaking love for something else.
Hate maybe?

they're all ridiculously hot
Sorrow is just MORE hot
well, Love's a glowcloud
but some people are into that maybe so

I asked him if he wanted his family back and he said yes.
Family's... kind of big deal to me and I'd just lost all mine from Haven, so.
It kind of stuck.

you know that
explains a lot about my relationships then, probably

So what?
I gotta line them all up to compare to know which one is him?
What if we have different tastes?
Do you have pics?

Sorry about your family, though.

[Family is super not a big deal to him, so he can't entirely relate, but he feels bad anyway?]

Good job on the personal realization, also.

[ hottymchotterson.jpg is attached to her next message. ]

that's him

and it's cool
they were my packmates, really, but... for me it's kind of the same thing

maybe now I'll be able to date again
or not
because effort

Okay well,
I feel like he's one of those people in the "objectively hot" category.
So my personal preference doesn't matter.

Packmates?
Is that like a cultural thing or?

[He hasn't yet considered the idea that Rose isn't human, but... everything is fair game in this place, apparently. He decides he wouldn't care either way, because 1. it doesn't seem to matter, and 2. he has no room to judge.]

Dating here seems like a gamble.
If it ends badly,
it'd be harder to ghost.

most of the gods are, you'll probably find

and it's a wolf thing
not a werewolf, but something similar

[ She isn't. But she'd appreciate that it won't seem to change anything. It took her two years in Haven to tell anyone, but here it's been... easier. ]

it is pretty hard to ghost
so yeah, probably not the best idea

What's similar to a werewolf?
Do you turn into a different animal?
Or are you just not cursed or
actually I don't know much about werewolves.
We don't have them where I'm from,
they're just in movies and books.
And I think a tv show for teenagers?
These are honest questions,
I'm not trying to be a dick.

i'm a yokai
that translates to 'demon,' but also 'apparition' and it's
complicated?
basically, we're creatures made of an energy called ki
"""mythical""" beings
but there's all kind of ways ki can manifest
so you got animals like wolves, foxes, crows
but also elementals like fire and ice apparitions
i'm a wolf
i can't turn into one, I don't know how, but I do have a 'hybrid' form where I'm like a cross between wolf and person
I just like to look more person because well
my kind don't have the best reputation so
better to blend in

[ It's a bit more convoluted than that, actually, but she doesn't want to get into it all right now. ]

Probably smart
the blending in thing.
That sounds weird maybe but I get it.
People can be kinda awful.
Are there a lot of you guys where you're from?
Is it like, a secret that you exist?

my kind can be just as awful

there's a whole world of us
it's...
okay, like, this probably sounds kind of crazy but it's like another plane of existence attached to earth
yokai can spirit people away to it, but us getting the human world is a lot harder
I was able to but it came at a pretty hefty cost and wasn't a fun trip

Crazy?
Crazy like getting kidnapped by gods?
To a cave that's being chased by robots?
It sounds pretty tame, honestly.
I wonder if you guys exist in my version of Earth.
There's apparently some weird stuff there,
but I don't know much about it.

okay, well
fair enough

there's a lot of shit humans don't know about in my world
or are just """stories"""
my kind
werewolves, vampires, magic
you name it

it's probably better that you don't
everything gets like 10x more complicated once you know

[It's weird to think about how much stuff he just doesn't know about, versus how much is actually out there. Well, all of it seems to be out there, in Hadriel at least.]

Well I think it's too late for that.
I mean you just told me.
But it's okay
stuff was already complicated.
And it's not like I'll go looking.
Assuming we ever get out of this place, that is.

i only told you about MY kind
there's still
a boat load of stuff out there
well
if it it exists in your world

i hope you'll get out
i mean i'm planning on staying so I don't care as much but
i know it sucks to be stuck here for most people so

Would you stay even if everyone else left?
I guess the gods would still be here.
So you wouldn't be alone.
Not really sure what they'll do for emotions though
if it was just a few people left.
I guess that's kinda the crux of the problem, isn't it?

It depends.
Right now, I don't think I'd mind.
Kind of relate to the gods more than some of the people here, actually,
as... sad as that probably sounds?

But yeah.
That's the issue. Still, talked to Tranquility about it once, he said I wasn't the only one wanting to stay and they wouldn't mind maybe if everything gets sorted out so.
Who knows.

It doesn't sound sad.
People are tough sometimes.
And I guess if you and some of the others don't want to go back to your worlds.
This one can just be yours now?
I hope that works out.
