Sparrow: hiya
plum — 07/22/2019 1:12 AM
Kyros: What’s up?
peach — 07/22/2019 1:14 AM
Sparrow: I have a little break before I have to start decorating for your very very important gala 🙃
Sparrow: tis fine. I'm just tired. What's up with you?
plum — 07/22/2019 1:16 AM
Kyros: Going over my speech for the thing tomorrow
peach — 07/22/2019 1:24 AM
Sparrow: aw good luck
peach — 07/22/2019 1:24 AM
Sparrow: you'll be great
[1:25 AM]
Sparrow: what's this one about?
plum — 07/22/2019 1:36 AM
Kyros: The new cultural initiative. It’s whatever
[1:36 AM]
Kyros: Afterparty’s gonna be boring to
[1:36 AM]
Kyros: *too
peach — 07/22/2019 1:45 AM
Sparrow: yuck.
[1:45 AM]
Sparrow: at least the food will be DELICIOUS
[1:45 AM]
Sparrow: make sure you eat the creme brulee. I made it!
[1:46 AM]
Sparrow: unless you hate it. Then it was someone else.
plum — 07/22/2019 1:54 AM
Kyros: Ha
[1:54 AM]
Kyros: Gramsey let you slip something in?
peach — 07/22/2019 2:01 AM
Sparrow: yeah. All the drugs I could get from ingora.
[2:01 AM]
Sparrow: hey speaking of which
[2:01 AM]
Sparrow: do you like
plum — 07/22/2019 2:02 AM
Kyros: Like...?
peach — 07/22/2019 2:02 AM
Sparrow: have trouble sleeping?
[2:03 AM]
Sparrow: sorry
plum — 07/22/2019 2:03 AM
Kyros: Why?? Random topic change.
peach — 07/22/2019 2:04 AM
Sparrow: I was trying to figure out a way to say it without sounding ominous
plum — 07/22/2019 2:04 AM
Kyros: What I’m getting from this is there’s sleeping pills in the creme brulee
peach — 07/22/2019 2:04 AM
Sparrow: idk I was following the whole creme brulee > tastes funny > drugs > sleeping issues???
[2:05 AM]
Sparrow: yeah watch out trying to make people more receptive to your speech
[2:05 AM]
Sparrow: ha ha joking
[2:05 AM]
Sparrow: anyways it was a very sophisticated line of thought because I also circled back around to my comment on being tired but whatever. You have to have a certain sort of social finesse to get it
plum — 07/22/2019 2:06 AM
Kyros: Honestly I wouldn’t mind if you did. Would make it okay to just home and nap instead of schmoozing
peach — 07/22/2019 2:07 AM
Sparrow: always got your best interests at heart ;P
plum — 07/22/2019 2:08 AM
Kyros: You’re my man on the inside
peach — 07/22/2019 2:14 AM
Sparrow: that also reminds me
[2:14 AM]
Sparrow: did Pari tell you she's gotten proposals?
[2:14 AM]
Sparrow: it's crazy. Apparently Faey and Rosco have been hiding them from her. The first ones came when she was sixteen.
plum — 07/22/2019 2:16 AM
Kyros: Jesus. What the hell? She didn’t tell me
peach — 07/22/2019 2:17 AM
Sparrow: she was not too happy about it :/
[2:17 AM]
Sparrow: is it :/? Or :\
plum — 07/22/2019 2:17 AM
Kyros: Vic has a whole dumb schpiel about that
peach — 07/22/2019 2:18 AM
Sparrow: it's pretty important
[2:18 AM]
Sparrow: changes the whole tone if you get it wrong
plum — 07/22/2019 2:18 AM
Kyros: I wasn’t listening though. They convey different kinds of disappointment or something.
peach — 07/22/2019 2:19 AM
Sparrow: makes sense. Doesn't it? I think :\ looks more uncertain and :/ is more disgusted/mad
[2:19 AM]
Sparrow: anyways yeah I think some of her suitors are coming to your thing tomorrow because she mentioned beating the shit out of someone so like. Be careful? I guess?
[2:20 AM]
Sparrow: I wouldn't want her to blow her top. Not that she isn't justified. And beating the shit out of someone might dissuade people from proposing to her
plum — 07/22/2019 2:28 AM
Kyros: Do you have names?
peach — 07/22/2019 2:34 AM
Sparrow: a few but not all of them. I'll send you the texts I got from Parisa.
[2:34 AM]
Sparrow: might take a second though.
plum — 07/22/2019 2:34 AM
Kyros: Yeah do that. I’ll keep them away from her.
peach — 07/22/2019 2:35 AM
Sparrow: you got it.
[2:36 AM]
Sparrow: just.... to be sure. No sleeping problems? Really? How?
plum — 07/22/2019 2:36 AM
Kyros: Never said that :\
peach — 07/22/2019 2:36 AM
Sparrow: ah
plum — 07/22/2019 2:37 AM
Kyros: Just depends on how tired I am honestly
peach — 07/22/2019 2:37 AM
Sparrow: an mad-disgusted :\ but I'm detecting notes of........... sorrow
[2:37 AM]
Sparrow: ok yeah makes sense
[2:38 AM]
Sparrow: me too. Ever since that whole
[2:38 AM]
Sparrow: situation at the carnival.
[2:39 AM]
Sparrow: when it happened I was just. Like. Chock full of adrenaline and so freaked out I dont think I really took the time to try and understand what happened. But now that time has passed.... plus I think I'm freaking myself out more lol
plum — 07/22/2019 2:39 AM
Kyros: Aw
[2:39 AM]
Kyros: Don’t freak out. If anything, it’ll come for me, not you.
peach — 07/22/2019 2:40 AM
Sparrow: oh it's all good then
[2:40 AM]
Sparrow: >:( dummy
plum — 07/22/2019 2:40 AM
Kyros: Yeah just use me as your human shield and I’ll be fine
peach — 07/22/2019 2:40 AM
Sparrow: if anything that makes me feel worse
plum — 07/22/2019 2:40 AM
Kyros: *you’ll be fine
peach — 07/22/2019 2:40 AM
Sparrow: what on earth WAS it? It wasn't a person... right?
plum — 07/22/2019 2:40 AM
Kyros: Sorry I’m tired I’ve been up since four thirty
[2:41 AM]
Kyros: I don’t know. People have powers, maybe its power is... that
Sparrow: when do you get to sleep?
[2:42 AM]
Sparrow: and God what do you even look out for? It's just... like big and scary and mad
[2:42 AM]
Sparrow: like pyros = fire and hydros = water and cryos = ice but this thing was like pure and unadulterated fear
[2:46 AM]
Sparrow: sorry
[2:47 AM]
Sparrow: I'm making it worse
[2:47 AM]
Sparrow: are you okay? You... don't have anyone else to talk to about it, do you?
[2:47 AM]
Sparrow: or have you told mojisola..?
plum — 07/22/2019 2:48 AM
Kyros: One sec Mala’s here
plum — 07/22/2019 3:38 AM
Kyros: I don't know. I can feel it when it's close by so I usually have a heads up. The thing's just dread incarnate
[3:38 AM]
Kyros: Sol doesn't know
[3:39 AM]
Kyros: Tasia still thinks it's make believe I'm pretty sure
peach — 07/22/2019 3:40 AM
Sparrow: Sol doesn't know???
plum — 07/22/2019 3:40 AM
Kyros: Don't be so surprised. It's not exactly an easy thing to explain
peach — 07/22/2019 3:40 AM
Sparrow: dude the last time it came for you we were pretty much alone together and
plum — 07/22/2019 3:40 AM
Kyros: Be honest, would you believe me if you were her?
peach — 07/22/2019 3:40 AM
Sparrow: you and Mojisola spend a LOT of time together. Alone. So.
[3:41 AM]
Sparrow: yes
[3:41 AM]
Sparrow: I know you.
[3:41 AM]
Sparrow: you've been together for a year. She knows you too! She'd believe you.
plum — 07/22/2019 3:42 AM
Kyros: Even if she didn't think I was crazy, why would you want to stay with someone after that?
[3:42 AM]
Kyros: You know I'm figuring it out
[3:42 AM]
Kyros: I'll just deal with it before it ever becomes an issue.
peach — 07/22/2019 3:43 AM
Sparrow: because you love them???
[3:43 AM]
Sparrow: I don't think you're giving her enough credit :/
plum — 07/22/2019 3:44 AM
Kyros: Yeah, well, either way, it's better if it's just not an issue
peach — 07/22/2019 3:44 AM
Sparrow: how can you be sure that it won't be an issue?
[3:44 AM]
Sparrow: what if it takes you by surprise again?
[3:45 AM]
Sparrow: I honestly think that we survived last time was a huge huge fluke
plum — 07/22/2019 3:45 AM
Kyros: I've survived all the other times though, haven't I?
[3:45 AM]
Kyros: And I was a kid back then. I can actually fight now
peach — 07/22/2019 3:45 AM
Sparrow: that's honestly the dumbest excuse I've ever heard
[3:45 AM]
Sparrow: nothing happens until it does
[3:46 AM]
Sparrow: you know? Not to be like callous but
plum — 07/22/2019 3:46 AM
Kyros: Then I'll just make sure I happen to it before it happens to me
peach — 07/22/2019 3:46 AM
Sparrow: also what are you going to fight??? Are you going to punch a monster???????
[3:46 AM]
Sparrow: God if this were a movie I might believe you with lines like that
[3:47 AM]
Sparrow: what if it just absorbs you or something
plum — 07/22/2019 3:47 AM
Kyros: Why not? I'll burn his face off. If anything it'll buy me time
peach — 07/22/2019 3:47 AM
Sparrow: what if it's like resistant to fire
[3:47 AM]
Sparrow: my point is
[3:47 AM]
Sparrow: you don't know for sure that you're safe and you should be taking ALL the precautions
[3:47 AM]
Sparrow: especially with sol
plum — 07/22/2019 3:47 AM
Kyros: Like what, Sparrow?
[3:48 AM]
Kyros: Backup?? No one believes me
peach — 07/22/2019 3:49 AM
Sparrow: she's with you almost 24/7. It would be better for her to know that this thing exists - even if she doesn't believe it - so that if something happened while the two of you were together, she'd be more prepared than if something happened and she just had like, no idea that this was a thing
[3:49 AM]
Sparrow: weirder things exist, trust me
plum — 07/22/2019 3:49 AM
Kyros: IF I feel it coming, I'll just leave her somewhere safe
[3:49 AM]
Kyros: Weirder things like what?
peach — 07/22/2019 3:49 AM
Sparrow: especially if you told people now. You're not a kid anymore. People will believe you
[3:50 AM]
Sparrow: what if it goes after her?
plum — 07/22/2019 3:50 AM
Kyros: Why would it do that?
peach — 07/22/2019 3:50 AM
Sparrow: I feel like we may be discounting its intelligence
[3:50 AM]
Sparrow: sol would be perfect bait dude
plum — 07/22/2019 3:50 AM
Kyros: Would it make you feel better if I shared what I have with you?
peach — 07/22/2019 3:50 AM
Sparrow: yes
plum — 07/22/2019 3:50 AM
Kyros: It makes me sound like a goddamned conspiracy theorist though
[3:51 AM]
Kyros: So
[3:51 AM]
Kyros: Just buckle up I guess
peach — 07/22/2019 3:51 AM
Sparrow: we're in this together so I guess we're both mental
plum — 07/22/2019 3:51 AM
Kyros: Great
[3:51 AM]
Kyros: I think there's a pattern
[3:51 AM]
Kyros: Every time it's happened, it's always around the same time of year. October-November
[3:52 AM]
Kyros: And it's been 4 times now. The chances of that being a coincidence are small
peach — 07/22/2019 3:53 AM
Sparrow: that's creepy
[3:53 AM]
Sparrow: but super useful. You have a time frame, even if it's vague
plum — 07/22/2019 3:54 AM
Kyros: Yeah. And it's never come for me when I'm with a group
[3:55 AM]
Kyros: Increased security around those months
[3:55 AM]
Kyros:
peach — 07/22/2019 3:55 AM
Sparrow: and stay in a group as much as you can
[3:56 AM]
Sparrow: ha ha ha you're a very pretty emoji girl, k
plum — 07/22/2019 3:56 AM
Kyros: Shut up
[3:56 AM]
Kyros: There's no guy shrug on here
peach — 07/22/2019 3:56 AM
Sparrow: sexism
plum — 07/22/2019 3:56 AM
Kyros: It really is real
peach — 07/22/2019 3:56 AM
Sparrow: so it's confronted you how many times?
[3:57 AM]
Sparrow: not sexism. The bad man.
plum — 07/22/2019 3:57 AM
Kyros: Four as far as I know
[3:57 AM]
Kyros: Ha ha
peach — 07/22/2019 3:57 AM
Sparrow: right.
[3:57 AM]
Sparrow: weird that it hasn't even touched you though.
plum — 07/22/2019 3:57 AM
Kyros: Once when I got the scar, once during the bodyguard contest, once with you, and once at the sleepover
[3:58 AM]
Kyros: Yeah I don't know what it wants
[3:58 AM]
Kyros: If it wanted me dead why didn't it just kill me in my crib if it knew where I was
peach — 07/22/2019 3:58 AM
Sparrow: there's no pattern of like, high octane situations or emotional stuff or anything
[3:58 AM]
Sparrow: Yeah. For real.
[3:58 AM]
Sparrow: unless
[3:59 AM]
Sparrow: it doesn't want to kill you?
plum — 07/22/2019 3:59 AM
Kyros: What does it want then???
[3:59 AM]
Kyros: Are you saying it's some elaborate YouTube prankster?
peach — 07/22/2019 3:59 AM
Sparrow: dk. Maybe.
[3:59 AM]
Sparrow: it just makes no sense.
[4:00 AM]
Sparrow: like, if it were spying on you, it would be more subtle and not reveal itself. If it were trying to kill you it should have done it already. And if it were trying to communicate with you... we would probably know by now right?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:00 AM
Kyros: Maybe it's just trying to scare me
[4:01 AM]
Kyros: Maybe I'm cursed
[4:01 AM]
Kyros: I don't know
peach — 07/22/2019 4:01 AM
Sparrow: don't say that
[4:01 AM]
Sparrow: also, if you were cursed, why hasn't it gone after Tasia?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:01 AM
Kyros: Because I'm the cursed one, idk
[4:02 AM]
Kyros: Or maybe it has and she hasn't said
[4:02 AM]
Kyros: But then she might believe me. I really don't know
peach — 07/22/2019 4:02 AM
Sparrow: tasia would have absolutely smothered you in protective measures, don't you think?
[4:02 AM]
Sparrow: if she had even an inkling of an idea that you were im danger?
[4:02 AM]
Sparrow: *in
plum — 07/22/2019 4:03 AM
Kyros: Yeah
[4:03 AM]
Kyros: You're right
peach — 07/22/2019 4:03 AM
Sparrow: you said it doesn't get you in groups but it tried to get you during one of our sleepovers?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:03 AM
Kyros: Fair
[4:03 AM]
Kyros: Is anyone in that group really a threat though
peach — 07/22/2019 4:04 AM
Sparrow: feo's got a hell of a punch
plum — 07/22/2019 4:04 AM
Kyros: Lmao
peach — 07/22/2019 4:04 AM
Sparrow: jokes. I shouldn't joke about that.
plum — 07/22/2019 4:04 AM
Kyros: Boy broke his hand afterwards though
peach — 07/22/2019 4:04 AM
Sparrow: yeah. God. I feel terrible about that. Thank goodness for Maari.
plum — 07/22/2019 4:05 AM
Kyros: Eh, it could've been worse
[4:05 AM]
Kyros: It was pretty badass
peach — 07/22/2019 4:05 AM
Sparrow: :)
[4:05 AM]
Sparrow: I'll tell him you said ha ha
plum — 07/22/2019 4:05 AM
Kyros: Go ahead :P
peach — 07/22/2019 4:05 AM
Sparrow: he'd sink into the earth from embarrassment
[4:05 AM]
Sparrow: feo's pretty badass
plum — 07/22/2019 4:06 AM
Kyros: He is when he wants to be
[4:06 AM]
Kyros: Other times he panics for an hour because his mom's making him call the dentist
[4:06 AM]
Kyros: It's a mixed bag with that kid
Sparrow: he grew up with all those uncles and saskia and sasha. I guess. What is it called? O something
[4:06 AM]
Sparrow: osmosis
[4:07 AM]
Sparrow: ha ha ha yes
[4:07 AM]
Sparrow: the other day he walked into the kitchen, saw gramsey, and walked right back out
plum — 07/22/2019 4:07 AM
Kyros: Sparrow did you even take freshman biology
peach — 07/22/2019 4:08 AM
Sparrow: honestly could not tell you. It all blends together
plum — 07/22/2019 4:09 AM
Kyros: God are you typing a novel?
peach — 07/22/2019 4:09 AM
Sparrow: school is not my strong suit it's fine
[4:09 AM]
Sparrow: I have a lot of thoughts, ok?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:09 AM
Kyros: Why is that, anyway?
[4:09 AM]
Kyros: The school not the thoughts
peach — 07/22/2019 4:09 AM
Sparrow: ha ha. Idk. I'm just not cut out for it?? Maybe?
[4:10 AM]
Sparrow: who knows. I'd ask my parents buuuut. There's a small issue with that.
plum — 07/22/2019 4:10 AM
Kyros: I guess...
[4:10 AM]
Kyros: Aw :\
[4:10 AM]
Kyros: Speaking of parents I have a theory
peach — 07/22/2019 4:10 AM
Sparrow: I'm kidding. Didn't mean to put a damper on things
plum — 07/22/2019 4:10 AM
Kyros: Nah you're fine
peach — 07/22/2019 4:10 AM
Sparrow: even though we were just talking about the monster
plum — 07/22/2019 4:11 AM
Kyros: Our parents are dead. It's whatever
peach — 07/22/2019 4:11 AM
Sparrow: what's your theory?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:11 AM
Kyros: What if its motivation is revenge?
[4:12 AM]
Kyros: I mean... my parents had some enemies
[4:12 AM]
Kyros: Maybe it's playing some twisted long con
peach — 07/22/2019 4:12 AM
Sparrow: look who's also writing a two sentence novel
[4:12 AM]
Sparrow: what would the end result even be?? It's not even doing anything
plum — 07/22/2019 4:13 AM
Kyros: Who knows? Nobody right in the head would do the shit it does, so clearly we're not dealing with a rational person here
[4:13 AM]
Kyros: I think the reason it sticks to that time frame, also, is because of Halloween. It's easier to blend in. That's my idea anyway.
peach — 07/22/2019 4:14 AM
Sparrow: what a weirdo
plum — 07/22/2019 4:14 AM
Kyros: I'm just trying to make sense of it all with the tiny scraps of info that I have
peach — 07/22/2019 4:14 AM
Sparrow: I get it. It feels like there's some obvious answer that's just out of reach because all you have is threads
[4:15 AM]
Sparrow: and no one tells you anything....
[4:15 AM]
Sparrow: it's a good theory
plum — 07/22/2019 4:15 AM
Kyros: Yeah, that's fun
[4:15 AM]
Kyros: There's so many stupid family secrets
[4:15 AM]
Kyros: I'm part of the family too though?
[4:16 AM]
Kyros: Hello?
[4:16 AM]
Kyros: It's fine. I'll find out one way or another
peach — 07/22/2019 4:16 AM
Sparrow: tasia just won't tell you or?
[4:16 AM]
Sparrow: maybe... she has her reasons. Although that doesn't mean that they're good ones.
[4:16 AM]
Sparrow: have y ou u
[4:17 AM]
Sparrow: don't take this the wrong way
[4:17 AM]
Sparrow: have you ever considered talking to Chitori?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:17 AM
Kyros: Chitori???
[4:18 AM]
Kyros: Why would I ever talk to her?
peach — 07/22/2019 4:18 AM
Sparrow: she might know about your family secrets. Right?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:18 AM
Kyros: Ugh. I guess
peach — 07/22/2019 4:18 AM
Sparrow: since she knew your dad before tasia was even born
plum — 07/22/2019 4:18 AM
Kyros: She's so resentful she probably wouldn't even tell me
[4:19 AM]
Kyros: I don't blame her, but she does deserve it
peach — 07/22/2019 4:20 AM
Sparrow: you don't blame her for being resentful?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:20 AM
Kyros: Wouldn't you be?
peach — 07/22/2019 4:20 AM
Sparrow: yes
[4:21 AM]
Sparrow: can I ask you something and you'll promise to give me an honest answer?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:21 AM
Kyros: Kinda depends on what it is, but okay
[4:22 AM]
Kyros: Just go for it, Sparrow
peach — 07/22/2019 4:23 AM
Sparrow: do you genuinely think she deserves it?
plum — 07/22/2019 4:24 AM
Kyros: Deserves what? Prison?
[4:24 AM]
Kyros: She stabbed my dad like fifty times. She's crazy. Yeah, she deserves it.
peach — 07/22/2019 4:24 AM
Sparrow: I don't know if I'd call that prison, k
[4:24 AM]
Sparrow: it's like prolonged torture
plum — 07/22/2019 4:25 AM
Kyros: Is that not what prison basically is?
peach — 07/22/2019 4:25 AM
Sparrow: I'm not saying that what she did was okay. It was horrible and it needed punishment, but
plum — 07/22/2019 4:25 AM
Kyros: If she didn't want this to happen maybe she shouldn't have murdered the king in cold blood
[4:26 AM]
Kyros: Seems like a pretty easy thing not to do
[4:26 AM]
Kyros: Most people managed it
peach — 07/22/2019 4:26 AM
Sparrow: I mean... there are regulations in prisons, right? I don't think she's seen the sun in decades.
[4:26 AM]
Sparrow: I don't think she's moved in decades
[4:26 AM]
Sparrow: yeah you're right
[4:26 AM]
Sparrow: do you know why she did it? Even if she's crazy. She must have had a reason
plum — 07/22/2019 4:27 AM
Kyros: I mean she had a lot to say about it
[4:28 AM]
Kyros: I've read the court transcripts. It's textbook crazy rambling. That's what they decided, and that's the punishment she got. Tough luck.
[4:28 AM]
Kyros: Nothing she ever said was substantiated.
peach — 07/22/2019 4:29 AM
Sparrow: I guess so
plum — 07/22/2019 4:29 AM
Kyros: So even if she did tell me any secrets I don't know if I could believe her
peach — 07/22/2019 4:30 AM
Sparrow: I just don't see why she'd lie to you
