I'm back. I feel like crap, but I'm back. Actually, the both of us feel like crap (Vivi has utterly refused to get out of bed, full stop, no negotiating, GOODBYE.) because while I was running around in the Ruins Vivi was flipping the fuck out. Literally, the first thing she did when I returned to lucidity was yell at me for a while, slap me a couple of times, and then hug me so tightly breathing became...problematic. Then cry. Then hug me again. Then ignore me for an hour. Then she made up her mind and decided to be glad I'm back and then promptly fell asleep on me. Note to self: do not worry Vivi like that ever again.
I think...we're going to take a break this weekend. We both need to rest and recover and not spend all day trying to juggle being a normal twenty-something couple and two soldiers in the fight against Slender Man. Two days, that's all. If something really awful happens, we WILL let you know, but otherwise we will flop most of this weekend.
The only reason this post sounds coherent is the backspace key!
Vivi has an awful lot of scars on her back. The fact that quite a few of them look recent bothers me.
Teehee, that rhymed.

Chester, if I had been there, I would have also screamed at you, and hugged you, and then slap you again, then make you a pie. BECAUSE PIE IS THE BEST FUCKING THING IN THE WORLD.
ReplyDelete....Scars... Bad.
I think it's a bit of a stretch, that rhyme...But glad you're okay, Chester, and all of you, and I don't know what else to say besides good luck and good times; scars, though, they may or may not be good, what if they're some kind of birthmark marking her has an ancient queen of Mars?
ReplyDeleteChester, you're okay!

Yes. Excellent idea. You two deserve some time off. It'll help clear your head.
ReplyDeleteStay safe.

Erm, guys?
ReplyDeleteThat remnant guy creeps me out, posted on your last blog post...
I think he might be taking an unhealthy intrest in me.
Hey, I've been following reading your blog for a few days now and I'm glad the two of you are alright. Hey JZ, I was wondering how envolved in this?
ReplyDeleteI'm not really that involved, I've just tried to help how I can.
ReplyDeleteI spelled involved wrong. I was wondering why that looked weird. I was having a moment. When you say he might be taking an unhealthy interest in you what do you mean?
ReplyDeleteI'm basically paranoid, he replied by saying Jedi(X)
ReplyDeletemy user name is JediZero.
It could technically be seen as Jedi0
It just unnerved me.
Ah, I see. Don't start getting paranoid now, trust me it's not a good thing to do.
ReplyDeleteanything new to report?
ReplyDelete@Everyone: Just so you know, we're okay. I slept most of Saturday and then treated Chester to four hours of sparring this morning just to prove I haven't lost my touch.
ReplyDelete@Frap: I can recall getting all my scars in entirely mundane incidents, except the recent ones, so I don't think I'm actually queen of Mars. Hopefully. Being responsible for myself and a couple of other people - fine. An entire giant rock - everybody vacate the galaxy, NOW.
--Vivi
You both doing better?
ReplyDeleteI know the stress must be hell.
Much. Much, much better. Not perfect, but a day of being lazy and then another day of just Vivi's company, although I could have done without the sparring. I judo-flipped her onto a table and then freaked out because I'd thought I'd hurt her and she just laughed and knocked my legs out from underneath me and then wouldn't let me get up until I promised to stop apologising for making progress.

What kind of Martial Arts does Vivi know anyway?
ReplyDeletesounds like a mixture of Karate and Judo.
Vivi is a Brown belt 2nd Kyu (two grades before black belt) in Goju Ryu Karate. We also had a friend in High School, Owen, who was dead into Martial arts (he did every kind he could) and him and Vivi used to exchange techniques. At one point one of the teachers thought they were actually scrapping and went to go break it up only to find Vivi correcting Owen's grip on her arm and then letting him throw her. So what she does know is a patchwork of different martial arts styles, although she leans more towards Karate.
