welcome sleepies, to our very first meme saturday! every month a little mod-hosted meme will go up for us to play around with admist the chaos, and this theme was chosen by popular demand! we've all heard about texts from last night, but have you heard of......
MURMURS FROM LAST NIGHT
strange things happen in the night. maybe you drink, or dream, or get high as a kite, and it's hard to hide it! especially when we're all collectively connected in a way! the rules are quite simple! you may even know them by now.
π post a top level for your character and include a few text starters, like the ones provided.
π interact.
π thrive.
π if you wish for your threads to be game canon, the sky is the limit (just make sure your thread partner is okay with it!).
π We might have some special guests later.
Not the juggling, haven't really gotten intimate with more than one person, but more the... emotional aspect, I guess? I dunno. I'm figuring it out as I go.
I was planning on it, but thanks. [ she appreciates it even if she didn't necessarily need it. it helps. ]
Ah, so you have a one special person. Me too. If you aren't used to forming plenty of emotional attachments, it's a big change, yeah? This whole tether system complicates basic friendships I'm finding.
Just don't lose the plot in the process. Sleep may want all fun, limited logical thought.
Big change feels like an understatement. And, honestly, without the tethering, I probably wouldn't trust anyone as I do now. It's easier to tell when someone really cares.
Trust me, it's kind of hard to lose the plot in a place like this. Hell, I wouldn't even if I could. [ her main goal here is to kill Sleep ]
Yeah, and I'm still not used to it. Don't get me wrong, I like it. It's just surprising. I keep wanting to ask what they see, and then... I don't know, you ever feel like an imposter?
You're here because Sleep is lonely and selfish. But you can ask her yourself if you really want to know.
Believing in yourself and your value is the hardest life lesson one can learn. It's understanding the good and the bad of what you're capable of. And no, I don't feel like an imposter. I understand people like me for me, and I accept it. They'll hate me if they hate me.
She has an extravagant way of trying to make friends. Seems to fall flat.
That's the thing: I believe in myself, I know my value, and I know what I'm capable of. [ No, she does not. ] Other people don't. And it's easier that way. Maybe it's even best that way. But you end up feeling like a liar, even if you're not really lying.
She doesn't want us as friends. She doesn't care about us that way. We're... useful company, and the moment we become a thorn, she'll hurt us.
That's good to hear, and if people don't recognize those traits in you, they aren't worth your time. Has anyone here made you feel like a liar, Sharon?
Useful company is something to build on regardless.
[ That sounds like something her own dad would say. ] No, but I don't really need anyone here to make me feel that way. Everyone's got their demons. [ This one is hers. Imposter syndrome. Or, in this case, whatever happens when you've lived two very different, very horrifying lives and then smashed them back together after eighteen years. ]
Not needing isn't a no that it hasn't happened to you here. Last time I checked, having personal demons doesn't mean you have to be an arse. [By Janna, he kinda wanted to protect this one. She clearly needed that dad influence now and again.]
Hard no, then. Not many people here could make me feel that way, and I don't put up with someone being a dick. I give back what I get. [ make her feel like shit, and she'll return the favor. ] And, I dunno, I'd argue there are some personal demons out there that give someone an arse pass.
Keep me updated? I try to talk to her, but I have a temper.
[He has a lot of issues calling her Jinx and hearing her called Jinx, but he says nothing. That's what she wants, so he's trying (and somewhat failing) to be supportive.]
I know. I'm sure you realize she gets in her head and needs to be dragged out again.
Yeah, I've the impression that she's hellbent on getting One back. Not really one for boundaries when upset, it seems.
I do, and I try, but I also try not to push too hard.
No. She already has him and intends to keep him isolated. Which, where I'm from, is a classic sign of abuse. This isn't some heartbroken lover lashing out.

What can I say? I'm a cute guy sometimes. I encourage you to enjoy yourself and explore what you like.

I'm still trying to figure out why we're here, but otherwise, just exploring.

If you say so.

Maybe I'll give it a try. See how far I can get.

I'll probably just flirt and see if she strikes me down.
no subject
You do you, but she's only interested in one vessel, and that's the first, One. You're either a flower in her garden or a weed. Best to be a weed.

Has anyone asked why?
no subject
Yes. [ And, through the Murmur, she links Megumi's lore dump. ]
no subject
I'll review the information provided. Thanks for it.

No problem. If you have any questions, reach out. I know it's a lot to take in.
