Hi, it's me again, and I know that asking everyone questions at once can kind of be a bad idea sometimes or most of the times, but...

I went to the store to prepare for this whole feast thing, and I was offered something free for... For pride? It made rainbows follow me, and I don't see what that has to do with being proud, so there's definitely something here that I'm missing. When I asked the shopkeep they went on about flags and representation, but I didn't really get it.

So... Is there anyone who wants to explain that to me, and am I the only one confused by this?

( she is not going to tell this kid to go to school because oh boy was that her MO at that age too. but it is nice to know she's not talking about sex with, like, an 11 year old or something. )

... there's another one of him?

( good grief, what worlds is this place dragging people from? )

maybe someone should host a class.

His Earth is all galactic war without time for art, music, or anything like that. He might as well be a killer robot from space.

Definitely never thought about sex. Which is just so fucking weird.

( ... welp. )

you ever think your world seems boring in comparison to these places?

( not that it's necessarily a bad thing to be boring in this context, but damn. things got messed up in some places. )

[notwearingthekeds]

Every. Fucking. Day.

My world just had the normal bullshit. Hateful assholes. Rich people that can do whatever they want, no matter who gets hurt. And adults who don't care. I wasn't really prepared for killer robot space virgins.

( ... okay yeah, she's being eerily reminded of her teenage self. let's just hope this kid isn't doing the "getting drunk in the park" half of how she spent that time. )

sure the space virgin still knows some hateful assholes.

( they're a constant, right? )

[notwearingthekeds]

Probably. Eternal space war has to have hateful assholes.

At least other people seem to have a few good people in their lives. That's a nice comfort I guess.

[morns]

true enough.

( she misses them, though. taking care of missions here hasn't exactly been hard, but it would be nice to have Ainsworth to talk shit with while doing it. )
