I really don't want to go to therapy today, I don't have anything in particular to talk about and I don't feel comfortable talking in gestalt.

However if I leave front there's a good chance I won't get to stop by the Yemeni coffee place and get some really good coffee on my way home...

I guess I'll do one of these.

I'm Manhattan Cafe. But you can just call me Cafe.

I'm an umamusume, obviously. We're calling ourselves Equia over here. We know there was a scientific species name for ourselves but we don't remember quite what it was, but given Myo is an American horse girl, we wanted to be multicultural about it.

I don't remember too much about my life before Tracen academy. It isn't really a focus in any of the media we've seen. But I'm a pretty quiet person, I've always been sort of sickly which made my performance on the race track suffer. I did manage to pull through eventually, though.

I also have always seen spirits and otherworldly things. Nobody really believed me much, especially about my spirit friend that would always race ahead of me. But she hung around me all the time, and now that she's gone I do miss her presence. People say it's the spirit of Sunday Silence, but I don't know if that's true.

I'm thinking of trying my hand at being a barista down in Divisus. Tachyon will probably follow me. She and I are on better terms now. I feel like we were always rivals and sort of friends, but her experiments always made me uncomfortable and angry. She agreed to stop trying to get me to participate in her experiments, so things are better now and I can say we're friends.

I did go to therapy but I ended up not doing the coffee because I was tired. I am going to fight like hell to front tomorrow morning so I can get it though

We did have a case earlier this year I think of someone getting really angry at the Collective for reasons that are frankly too annoying to explain (they only connected to the collective temporarily) and he and Vespa got in a big fight. It couldn't be easily resolved because both sides had valid emotional reasons to feel the way they did.

I still don't really know if said guy is much of a fan of us but he is working with us on Divisus geopolitics so it's fine, I guess.

We've been laying in bed after work the last two days because sick, and I have to say, when we get surprise visits from our doggy where she wiggles and wags her tail as hard as she can? Yeah that's gonna cure me actually

Ad: the bad news is, most protein bars are packed with sugar and unpronounceable ingredients.

Me: everything is unpronounceable if you're stupid

I suffered for these
