I won't apologize for doing it. My actions were noble, even if my reasons were considerably less so. But you can and should tell everyone that I look pathetically tragic but still in a hot way.
I think the PSA should include a line about peer pressure making your hair wilt. And that nobility can take many forms, not just one that faces down potential death.
[...] But first I'll tell the others you're bravely clinging to life with your hair artfully stuck to your forehead and eyes wild with fever.
[...] We've been considering some children's programming for Lundegaard. What's the kid friendly way of saying "don't volunteer for the zombie horde distraction plan because you think it'll make people like you more"?
Aw shucks, you didn't have to go shopping on your little trip. [...] I've been embroidering things to give my hands something to do, so you've got a monogrammed jacket now, by the way. And a pillowcase with about three dozen wildly unmatching roses on it.
Reminding kids that fear ain't a moral failing always seems like a good start. But it's been a minute since I taught Sunday school.
Three dozen? Blythe. [...] What did you stitch for Niko?
Weirdly, in the moment, I felt great. I was making new friends, I felt useful... It's only immediately before and after that the fear and regret was all-consuming. [...] I should probably promise to never do this again.
I was worried!!! And if I stopped stitching then my hands might twist each other right off! [...] I stitched some bookmarks that I was gonna give him when we leave. [...] Unless you have a better idea??
Didn't your mama ever tell you to only make promises you know you can keep?? [...] I don't exactly feel like the most critical cog in the whole machine these days either. I get how that part's awful tempting.
Bookmarks are a fantastic idea. But maybe you could add something he can carry with him on calls? A handkerchief has an old school romantic feel to it. Like a favor bestowed upon a knight.
Hypocritical for me to talk about how meaningful art is during apocalyptic times and not just stick to the art. But you're essential, you know. I'm not sure how we could've gotten through the past year and a half without you.
Oh... it makes my old heart flutter a little bit thinking about him using the handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead while saving a life out in the danger-infested wastelands of Washington...
You're being AWFUL generous to someone who can't fight or doctor or even cook. [...] But I appreciate it!!! If I can be completely and totally 120% honest, I wasn't sure how long this trip could last with or without Carnelian and I maybe expected our lack of survival skills to catch up to us sooner or later. And look, we're surviving AND thriving (without a dictionary I'm fudging the definition of thriving) now!!
Which is why you ain't allowed to try and die anymore.
He wipes the blood from his well-groomed beard and says to himself, "I'm too old for this shit." But then he glances down at your initials lovingly embroidered on the kerchief, and remembers his reasons for doing all of this...!
This troupe would've devolved into madness and murder without you keeping us together. Maybe even cannibalism! Sometimes Labyrinth gets that look in her eye, although that could just be sheer lust.
Not going anywhere any time soon. When are you guys returning to Whitney?
He called me the light at the end of this tunnel the other day...
Oh Labyrinth can't cook worth a darn, she won't be tearing into anyone raw. It's Odyssey we gotta keep an eye on if things ever get lean. I'll try to hold him off with charm and juggling lessons for now, though.
Not sure!! Handful of folks wanna head back tomorrow since you're gonna be laid up for the rest of the week but I kinda think Tegan wants to steal your bedcar, and we couldn't ask Prescott to feed and tolerate all of us for that long. But at least ONE of us has gotta stick around and make sure you got someone to harmonize with.
I guess the horde's cut down on the number of safe date spots in the Quad, huh?
First, loosing the shackles of binary gender; second, exploring your identity as a murderer. I guess this is one more reason I should focus on taking care of the company instead of half-baked Container Fort schemes.
The horde, the cougar, the general state of the world. But hope springs eternal!! There's always [...] the costume trailer?
Stop fussing with those dangerous potential murderesses, we've got that at home!!
I didn't ask, but to be honest she's been close at hand since we been here and I don't think she would. [...] Maybe me or her should go back with the rest of the troupe actually.

Can I tell you something that you can't tell anyone else?
DM 11/12, afternoon
My ears are open but my lips are SEALED!!
DM 11/12, afternoon
I think I'm a complete idiot for doing this.
DM 11/12, afternoon
I don't make a habit out of calling anyone an idiot, but... Why did you do it?
DM 11/12, afternoon
This is why I love you, Blythe. [...] All of the cool kids were doing it.
DM 11/12, afternoon
Oh good golly gosh, do we need to end our next show with a PSA about peer pressure??

Odyssey's still a growing boy, as CB likes to remind us. She might kill for his sake too.
Tomorrow's good. We need to get back to planning shows. [...] I'd say you'd get more work done with the costume trailer nearby, but...
DM 11/12, afternoon
Anyway I think I'm in love anCB might kill for the thrill of the experience, honestly. She's really been finding out a lot about herself lately!!
There's always so many last minute changes, I don't know why I even try starting early!! Planning can happen from anywhere!
