It got really cold in Auckland this morning. For summer at least it's early March and the temperature was something akin to late April. Then it warmed up again later. I guess...it matches the mood. For every victory there is another person to grieve.
R.I.P. Jeff. You were like a brother to me. You got Chester and I together, you helped me in my times of trial. You stayed under my roof, walked through these halls, stood in this kitchen and chatted with me and Cheska and Chester while we all made dinner together.
That's another bracelet to add to my wrist.
Stella is getting better. She actually introduced herself to our workmates as Stella, so I assume that's what she wants to be called now. She's never going to go back to being the Nice Girl she was once (apparently) but she's picking up the pieces, and that's the best we can ask from her at the moment. Healing takes time. But at least now you can show her some kind of compassion without her going ballistic.
She actually laughed, today. Chester tripped over Cassy and went sprawling and she laughed. Then we both looked at her like "WAIT WHAT WHOA" and she insisted she was coughing. Maybe, maybe not, Stella.
Chester has something to say on the subject of Slenderstalked couples. "There's nothing like an Eldritch Abomination stalking you to foster romance."
That may possibly be true. The threat of dying or going insane or the other person dying or going insane makes you take action. If you wait, it might be too late.
Stella also asked me "What is love?" earlier. I couldn't answer her. She was sitting there all serious, asking me "What is love?" and I just went "What are you, a robot?" and cracked up laughing.
Here's your answer, Stella.
Love is a complex, amorphous and many-legged thing. It hurts people and it heals people. It can be a force for good or evil. It can be like an earthquake and come out of nowhere and knock you off your feet or be like the movement of continents, something so gradual you barely notice it's progression. It's different for everyone, so you don't have to listen to a word I say on the matter because I've only been there once and I'm not you anyway.
I am dog tired, so I'm going to bed. Yay for half-awake rantings!

Cheska... The Master wants a word with you... - Lily
ReplyDelete...Why are you posting this on OUR blog? Cheska has her own blog.
ReplyDelete--Vivi
They're all at least a little insane, why not post it here? ~Frap
ReplyDeleteYou know, its kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to be harassed by any 'proxy'.
Now this can lead to only one of two things.
A: They're scared shitless that I'll kick their asses.
Or
B: SlenDERP has a major man crush on me and has demanded that I be left alone.
Which is it, EmptyEyes? I'm curious.
.....Jedi, thanks for making my Laugh my ass off.
ReplyDeleteStella. Nice name. Better than Darkness.
*raises glass of milk* To Jeff. A good man.
@Frap: True that.
ReplyDelete@Jedi: OH LOL. JUST LOL. MAN CRUSH. You and Slendy would have the sweetest bromance ever. It would be great!
@Shelby: It is, and he was. To Jeff.
--Vivi
I think JediZero just spawned a whole crapload of slash fic without realizing...xD
ReplyDeleteWell done, Jedi. Well done.
~Alora
xD Well done indeed. My day = made and it's only ten past nine.
ReplyDelete--Vivi
Glad I'm able to cheer everybody up.
ReplyDeleteBut would it be so bad? Those tentacles look absolutely faaabulous. And so flexible.
Too Kinky To Torture indeed.
...Oh Jedi. You wonderful, horrible person.
ReplyDeleteStella has now learnt what is is to be both horrified and amused. She's going to have to get used to it, since there's a lot of that going around. The look on her face...xD
--Chester
Jedi, you are a sick, twisted genius. I will never be able to take He That Is seriously ever again. That's disgustingly hilarious.
ReplyDelete--Stella
That's the goal, Stella. That's the goal.
ReplyDelete--Chess
Dammit, he's right outside my window.
ReplyDeleteThis time he has a rose between his teeth and is holding up a boombox...Its playing 'I'm too sexy for my shirt'.
...did he just wink his non-existant eye at me suggestively?
(As for Jeff, I apologize to those who truly believe he's gone, but....well...people have this habit when intertwined with all this crap of dying and then coming back like they had the flu.
So while you have my sympathies, I just want to be sure its not that He's Just Hiding.)
...Dear god, Jedi, I think Slendy's got a thing for you. Maybe he saw you chatting with Stella and got jealous? ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda...different. All the other times Jeff has made it back, he's just been Hallowed or something. This time...well, Cheska saw him die.
--Vivi
Now he's doing the macarena.
ReplyDeleteI have to give him credit, doing it with all his tentacles, pretty good hand-eye coordination.
Or is that hand-No eye coordination?
He's scribbling something on a piece of paper now, pressing it against the glass.
.....
"Me Love you Long Time."
I don't know if I should be terrified, or flattered.
@Jedi: I hope He That Is is not actually doing that. Otherwise I would immediately have you committed to a mental asylum. I don't think Slendy even knows what music is, let alone the macarena. I think he probably just sees it as noises...
ReplyDeleteHilarious mental image though. Next thing we know He That Is talks "lyk dis".
--Stella
FUCK
ReplyDeleteFUCKING OW
ReplyDelete...Are you okay?
ReplyDeleteJust banged my head against a cupboard door. I'm actually bleeding. Ow...
ReplyDelete--Vivi
You alright Vivi?
ReplyDeleteI'm all good, just bleeding a bit and my head hurts. Stressed...
ReplyDeleteAlso, you're very lucky Stella is absolutely oblivious otherwise you'd be in trouble for that one thing you said on that one entry. Possibly. I don't know how she'd react...
--Vivi
Erm....Pardon me, but I don't even know what I said wrong.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know? Should I delete it?
...You didn't say anything wrong, but at one point on "Good News and Bad News" you said something you may not want Stella knowing. Thankfully, she didn't really notice anything odd about that exchange between you and Chester, so you're safe until you don't want to be or Stel (who has gone to get me some painkillers, bless her soul) wises up.
ReplyDelete--Vivi
Oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteehe.
....think I should delete it?
The only way she'll realise what you mean is if you tell her outright. :/ Not the savviest girl out there, our Stella. Not when it comes to feelings in any case.
