Do You Believe In Magic?

I'm Nick Duval. I tell jokes, study at Mission Bay Academy for the Gifted, and am not exactly human.

So... I may just be going crazy from midterms stress, but I'm pretty sure my cat can read my mind. Like, almost 100% sure.

Blond warbler still a scaredy-cat a few months after being kidnapped huh?

I get that its a really scary thing but at some point you have to leave your room for more than just class. Get some therapy, go on a trip, do something, otherwise he’s going to become one of those creepy agoraphobic hoarders dudes who gets crushed under the weight of all of his own crap.

Do we really need to be making fun of the boy that got tortured?

[tinathesmilingmermaid-blog]

I'm hiiiiiighhhhhh [Private]

[tinathesmilingmermaid-blog]

Yep, I guess it isn’t. Okay…admittedly I only knew a few people at the party from school. Well, I’d still be in Mission Bay right? Okay, if you say so - tell me if I’m doing anything wrong okay? I won’t, I’ll ask you and stuff. You’re not babying me much, it’s safer that way…but, just, don’t let me get in your way.

Like I said, I don’t like getting in people’s way. But if Jeffy and you both don’t mind, I’ll take up your offer next time although I hope there won’t be a next…it sucks feeling like that. And I’m happy for y’all, for all the Valentine’s couples and stuff, I just felt lonely. I’m fine.

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Ideally you'd still be in Mission Bay, but I have a phobia of people disappearing now that didn't exactly come from nowhere... Sorry, I'm making this a much bigger deal than it needs to be. Bottom line is that I care about you and worry about you, but you absolutely do not need to worry about making sure the things you do are okay with me. You're perfectly capable of deciding what's best for yourself... and you don't ever have to worry about getting in my way, okay?

Of course we don't mind, though I hope you don't feel like that again, too. You're our friend, Ti. Are you sure you're fine?

[tinathesmilingmermaid-blog]

Yep, but then again you’re talented. Now, don’t go blowing up your ego just because I said that. Lima’s not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but it wasn’t where I would want to spend the rest of my life either.

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Hey now, you're talented too! And don't worry about my ego- I'm nowhere near the most talented person here. Well, I can understand that. I'm pretty stoked about not spending my entire life in my hometown, but that doesn't mean I don't love it there.

I know, Nick…I guess I was just really emotional. And tired. Hey, I didn’t get caught or anything. And feel free to lecture me, because I know, I know you don’t want me to get hurt, nothing bad happened at the party I promise. And I know…I know I’m still a kid but I didn’t get caught. 

No, it’s fine, I’m overreacting. I promise I won’t drink again. Really. But okay, I’ll do the system thing. Thanks, Nick…I honestly thought I’d have better judgement myself too. 

I know you didn't get caught, but that's not the point. Someone could have seriously hurt you and no one would even have known where you were... It's still not my job to lecture you, and I don't want you to feel like you can't do things because you're worried about me getting mad at you, but you're my friend, Ti, and I'm not going to let anything to happen to you because of a silly mistake. So I'm sorry if you feel like I'm babying you, but I'm really glad you're willing to humor me with a system.

And you know that next time you're feeling tired and emotional you're allowed to come crash at mine and Jeff's place, right? I know I can be kind of in everyone's face about him, but I promise that we both know what it's like to feel alone, so there'd be no rubbing things in- just cookies and a movie or two.

[tinathesmilingmermaid-blog]

Oh, no, I meant that y’all were lucky because you were liked, it’s not rude. Believe it or not I miss Lima a little. 

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Oh. Well, yeah- I guess the lot of us were all pretty darn lucky. I believe it, I mean, Lima was your home. It may not have been the nicest little city in the world, but you grew up there.

…sorry.

Someone’s party in the apartments. Sorry, I just passed out and stuff, I promise I won’t do this again. Mike left and there’s no one on Valentine’s day…I know I told Britt that it can still be fun single, but I was just in a mood and hey, there was a party. 

[nicholasxduval-blog]

No, you don't have to apologize to me... I was just kind of shocked and really worried. If you want to drink, fine, but for the love of everything that's good in this world do it safely. Going to random parties and passing out at them is a really good way to get yourself into some serious trouble. Especially as a minor. I'm sorry for getting up on my high horse, and I'm sorry for lecturing you when it's really not my place, but I don't want you getting hurt, Ti... 

I'm sorry about Mike, and I'm sorry that you feel alone, and honestly I get that you might want to take a step back sometimes and just party. But can we work out a system or something for the future? If you want to go to a party and drink, just tell me before hand, and if you haven't checked back in by midnight I come bring you home. No judgment- I just don't want you passing out in strange places anymore. 

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Txt: I love you.

[Text] What a coincidence- I happen to love you, too :D

[bittenjeff-blog]

Txt: So are you. 

[nicholasxduval-blog]

[Text] You're a sweetheart. Did you want to come to the store with me?

[ashwoodmemories]

Best. Day. Of. My. Life.

[ashwoodmemories]

Nick, you do remember that I have precognition and can tell when as well as where you might attack, correct?

[nicholasxduval-blog]

I'm prepared to die for love.

[gleerpconfessions]

So proud of everyone at Mission Bay (missionbayrp), I love you guys :) .We’ve stuck together through so much and well, we’ve gained some and we’ve lost some, but we’re together in the end.

[souleater-santana-blog]

Oh… Look at that; you’re witty. I already like you more than I like others.

[nicholasxduval-blog]

I take it you're not a people-pleaser, then.

[bookworm-bandit]

It was romantic at first… and then we kissed… and then… got undressed. It was with my boyfriend, too. I didn’t just… hook up with somebody random. Ha.

[nicholasxduval-blog]

I never said you did! But hey, there ya go- you spent a romantic night with your boyfriend. That definitely counts as a good Valentine's Day.

[shatteredquinn-blog]

So.. uh..

[shatteredquinn-blog]

No… it’s okay.. I’ll be alright on my own, I’m sure the two of you are busy and honestly.. I’d probably just cry again. That does sound lovely but I’m not really in the mood to sing.

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Hey, we've always got time for a friend in need, but I completely understand needing your space for a while. Maybe when you feel better? And if you need anything at all until then feel free to ask... We're all there for you.

[whoislucasmoore-deactivated2016]

This place is quiet...

[whoislucasmoore-deactivated2016]

Well I heard some people talking about invaders showing up and looking super sketchy in their fancy suits and ties and awesome hair. I was at the arcade when they talked about them and it was quite scary to hear about. and now Rachel’s dads are getting a divorce and she’s sad and I just know its about these people showing up. People who love each other like they do just don’t decide they don’t. It has to be these aliens. 

[nicholasxduval-blog]

What do you mean by invaders..? I wouldn't worry about anything yet, Britt, but if you ever feel like there's an actual threat to the community you should definitely tell someone. And I know what you mean... I'm worried about Rachel too. Hearing about people who've been together for so long splitting up out of the blue is just awful, and those are her dads. I think you must be right about the aliens- but you know what, Britt? It'll be okay. If we're there for our friends when the aliens mess things up, everything'll be alright in the end.

[bookworm-bandit]

I mean, I had sex if that’s what you’re asking. Isn’t that a majority of the population’s idea of an okay V-Day?

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Not exactly. Typically people focus more on the romance factor... But hey- you weren't alone, and you scored, so there are already thousands of lonely people who are jealous of you.

[souleater-santana-blog]

Likewise… You aren’t one of those pretty boys with no brain, right? Because I think this friendship might be working for me right now.

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Call me presumptuous, but I'm pretty sure I've got a brain.

[fallen-dillon-blog]

We’re all sexy! There. That fixes the problem.

[nicholasxduval-blog]

Excellent. Everyone's sexy- we just have our personal favorites.
