@muertarte replied to your post “[pm] You have returned. How are you?”:

[pm] I have had a breakup. This requires much wine and ice cream. Do you have what you need? I do not want to talk about myself.

​[pm] Wine and ice cream sound like a good escape right now, actually. Might even help with my throat. No, dairy will make it worse. Damn it I want ice cre-

We don't have to talk about [...] whatever is going on, if you don't want. But, are you okay? [...] And by okay I mean, you're not going to chain yourself up again in a cabin, right?

[rhythmicmeow]

[pm] Are you actually back?

[pm] Yeah. I took a formal break from my music this time. Got told to sit my ass down and relax for a while and I figured [...] most of my favorite people are here. I missed this place. As wild as it is here.

And to be very clear, you are one of my favorite people. How have you been?

[rhythmicmeow]

[pm] You have returned.

How are you?

[pm] Just this week, I did!

I finally finished out my tour. Got put on vocal rest. I [...] broke up with my girlfriend. So, it's been... a time. Bittersweet. But I'm glad to be back. How are you?

[user disregards everything else]

My my! Haven't heard from you in several ticks. Bet you're well traveled now eh?

How are you?

[rhythmicmeow]

[User notices Teagan avoiding the topic, but she doesn't press. She'll have to corner her later and get the full story.]

Spent a lot of time on the road, yeah! [User attaches a short video of one of the concerts.] I'm good. It's been a [...] strange time for me. too. Lots to catch up on, I think. [...] You free any time soon?

[necrosemancy]

oh my god, this is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Hear me out: Ken. Or Barbie. Or like the Bela Legosi version of Dracula.

[rhythmicmeow]

Oh those are some EXCELLENT options, I love that. What about a twist, Bela Legosi Dracula but in a Barbie inspired color scheme?

[mortemoppetere]

At least the cardboard man would be gone. Worth the risk, I think. [...] Almost got sacrificed to a demon. Took down a prison full of supernatural people. Stabbed a guy. Didn't get into anything that made me younger or less grumpy, no. How've you been?

[rhythmicmeow]

You hurt him and I'll end you, Milio. I had Andy sign where she punched him. Is that weird? [...] Ah, so you're still a stale old man. Gotcha. [...] I'm on vocal rest. Just finished a long tour. I broke up with- Not supposed to be talking, driving Matteo crazy already back at the shop. The usual.

[fearhims3lf]

I will quit right now. I'll do it. This isn't a bluff! You're gonna watch the biggest tantrum you've ever seen.

[rhythmicmeow]

[User sends him a picture of herself, tears in her eyes. It's a filter, obviously.] I just got back and you're just going to abandon me? :(

[fearhims3lf]

No! No! I was finally free of him. I ran the store while you were gone and this is how you repay me???

[rhythmicmeow]

Shut up, you love him. Look at his perfect little face. He'll never give you up, Mateo. Never let you down. Never say goodbye... he's here to stay.

[closingwaters]

Be careful in the fog! Nefoedd dda! Almost got struck with a giant spark! Nature must be angry

[rhythmicmeow]

[User is even more tempted to touch the fog after seeing this.] You okay out there in your cabin?

[amonstrousdream]

An order from me to all of you: please stay out of the fog; if you see a symbol, grab a bucket; and for the love of god, DON'T touch the anomaly.

Please stay safe. Please, please stay safe. I am begging and demanding.

[rhythmicmeow]

I thought the fog was just a normal weather condition... [User takes a moment to think about it, realizing this is Wicked's Rest, but still.] Is this like the puddles? [User really wants to touch the fog now.]

[the-lil-exorcist]

For the last time pals, I don't know why the cookies are cold. Just accept your new reality. They are still tasty and you'll get used to it. We have other things that are warm, like Bagels and cupcakes.

[rhythmicmeow]

Weren't the bagels haunted last time I was in town- Wait, why are the cupcakes warm? Wouldn't that ruin the frosting?

[mortemoppetere]

I did not get my ass kicked. I was trying not to break it because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. I should have just burned it.

[rhythmicmeow]

Your luck and mine, you would have set my store on fire in the process. Did you do anything while I was gone or are you still just a grumpy old man, hm?

[mortemoppetere]

Christ, you still have that thing? Should have fucking burned it.

[rhythmicmeow]

[User glares at her phone, cursing out loud at Emilio.]

Of course I still have it. Welcome back to me I fucking guess- It's sentimental now. I have to remember that time you got your ass kicked by cardboard. :)

[rhythmicmeow]

To celebrate my return, I am asking for some fun ways to dress up our favorite cardboard cutout: Rick Astley! I think he deserves a full costume this year instead of the scarves you know? [User inserts a picture of the cardboard cut out, the tape barely holding his head together still as he's set up behind the counter.]

[the-lil-exorcist]

@rhythmicmeow [pm] Really? Has it always been like that? [del: that would have been so cool to see at Halloween] Well, I had a strange experience with a cardboard cut out before and I don’t know if it’s actually haunted or if I’m just too far into my head about it. But either it’s happening again or I’m losing it.

[pm] Yup! Haunted adds to the flavor or whatever. Also being a medium means they just want to hang around - Oh? What exactly is happening. Does it seem to be moving a lot?

[rhythmicmeow]

[pm] Sure, sure. Makes sense. Give it some zing, yeah? […] I’m sure he’s moved some, but his eyes mostly. They keep changing. Like they’re following me.

[fearhims3lf]

[pm] I'm getting it anyway. It's prettier than the name. Wait, another? Please give me more details.

Leti, you don't know everything. And you're not even considering the fact that I'm undead. She doesn't even suspect, so I'm damn sure she doesn't know about the supernatural. So no, it's not just about being a bad person.

Not a Rick Astley joke. That one chick with the big muscles you look at.

[rhythmicmeow]

[pm] This is why you’re not going to the shop with me. I said no. I want the other one.

You’re right, I don’t. But neither do you. Like how she feels about this — which for the record, I don’t either. But it’s a disservice to her to leave her in the dark about feelings that involve her. [...] I don’t know what you want me to say.

[…] It’s been three months, Mateo.
