[ leans against his shoulder ]

...yeah. I've been thinking about that a lot. There's just stuff no one else gets.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Yeah. And it's like... I mean, I know I've got all of you guys, and it's not that I want anyone else here to have to know firsthand what's it like, but...

[leans!!]

It's just weird. I guess I just have to find a way to deal with it.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Random people on the street just don't know what it's like...to eat ramen and ice cream for five days running, and not because you're broke.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

[pauses and then laughs]

The most traumatic thing we've been through, clearly.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

It's just kind of insulting, when you're walking past the state of the art water park to get your warm meal of weird menu food.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Insult on top of injury for sure.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Sooooo much injury. I've literally lost track of all the dying now, which sounds kinda bad? But like.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

...Yeah. You guys keep getting it rough.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Don't say that like you didn't die like two minutes after getting there. I remember, I was there.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Yeah, I was also there.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

So you can agree you've also had it rough, good.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

I didn't say I hadn't in the first place...?

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Just saying, no need to "you guys" it.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

I meant your Family, who has objectively gone through it more than I have on the boat. Not in a downplaying way or anything.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Yeah.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Might have to give you that one.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

I promise I'm not trying to make it a competition or anything, but - yeah.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

No, I get you. I'm kinda the one that brought it up anyway.

...tried telling the parents, and they were like, "is that what the kids say nowadays?"

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Is it bad that's somehow better than what I imagined would happen if I told anyone?

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Nah. It was exactly like talking to newbies to the boat. No asylum threats at least.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

That part's good... Still frustrating, though.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Yeah, it doesn't help with the whole "don't know how to talk to normies" thing.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Yeah. Ugh.

[makes a face]

It'd be nice if someday, all of this felt like it happened a really long time ago.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

One day you're gonna be all old and grey, like, "kids these days don't know what it was like! We used to get maimed 10 times a day, going uphill both ways in the snow."
