I'm afraid I can't explain myself

Because I am not myself, you see?

shockmedead:

“Fine, what’s your name?”

“Alice. What’s yours?” 

[aliceincollegeland]

dean-pain-johns:

“Right because that made perfect sense.”

“Well, it did to me. I just don’t know how to make it make sense to you, that’s all. Maybe...Maybe just pretend you understand for a little bit and then you will. That’s how I learned maths.”

[aliceincollegeland]

sabor-junea:

“Well, what’s strange to you must be off the charts.”

“I don’t really...have charts. But anyway, the strange things would have to be on them so I could keep track. Except I don’t think a lot of things are strange at the end of it all. I just think maybe they don’t make sense to me, but they must make sense to someone. Like...the music-view.”

She chuckled at the girl’s confusion and her right hand quickly covered her mouth, not wanting to embarrass her. “Yes, I only meant it figuratively.” She gave a friendly smile. “Maybe I should’ve clarified that.” 

“Oh.” Alice laughed “I suppose it is a bit figuratively fresh. I didn’t think of it that way. How interesting.”

[aliceincollegeland]

dean-pain-johns:

“Yeah, I get that but I don’t get how it’s like music.”

“Oh. It just sort of...is.”

[aliceincollegeland]

sabor-junea:

“And a view being like music isn’t an odd thing to say?”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Do you-” Terence began carefully, “do you mean 1950s Vegas? Do you remember being there?” Terence was deeply concerned. No one knew what one time jump like they all had taken would do, much less to. And that was without factoring anything that happened to the girl during the trip.

“Why does everyone keep saying that? That can’t be true. Have you all decided to play a trick on me? It’s not very kind, you know.”

[aliceincollegeland]

shockmedead:

“No, I just don’t like people. You included.”

“Oh. Well, why? You haven’t hardly met me.” 

[aliceincollegeland]

sabor-junea:

“Maybe, but it didn’t make much sense.”

“Maybe? What an odd thing to say.”

[aliceincollegeland]

onepart-of-the-xblade:

“I don’t but I could try to learn.”

“Learn? Well, I’m not sure how to teach you. It just sort of...is”

[aliceincollegeland]

dean-pain-johns:

“I really have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“The view.”

Arista sucked in her cheeks, not sure if Alice was thinking out loud or just uneducated on proper skincare. She figured the girl must have smelly feet herself. “You…can borrow some if you want?”

“Oh. No, thank you. Powders always make me sneeze. I suspect I’m not doing something right, but I don’t know what.”

[aliceincollegeland]

emily-gannon:

“I like that. It’s lively, a breath of fresh air. Like music. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone use that before.” 

“No, it’s shut. There’s no air. Maybe...” Alice stood very close to the girl. “Well, I don’t feel a draft. Maybe it’s only metaphorically fresh.”

[aliceincollegeland]

sabor-junea:

“Jibberish to me.”

“Oh. W--Wasn’t I...speaking English?”

[aliceincollegeland]

blogwithasiren:

“Me? Have smelly feet? I use Lush’s cocoa butter foot lotion and their tea tree foot powder. I wouldn’t be caught dead with gross feet.” Arista replied humorlessly.

Alice laughed to herself. “Foot power sounds like powder made of feet. That would be terribly odd. And I suspect it would smell.”

groot-colossus:

“No one is the same. We all see things a different way no matter who we are.” He said; he sure wished he saw things the way he used to. “Dancing… no. I’m not good at dancing. I’ll only look funny.”

“That’s what dancing is, though.”
