I literally just got to the office a little while ago and now this happens.

My head is killing me...

I swear. If one more bad thing happens today...

[crystallinespyglass]

your hands can't ever be clean you scrub until the skin is raw but you know it's in your bones it won't ever go away you know what you're allowing by doing nothing but you won't speak up enough to stop it because you don't care enough about either of them

My hands haven't been clean for the last ... what, 10 or so years? It's not exactly a new feeling.

If I pry her away, she will resent me forever. As if she doesn't already. I can't even begin to describe what the higher-ups would do to me if I help Kalei any more.

I got in enough trouble already, and I'm sure I'll inevitably get in more. I'm not looking to hasten my doom.

Video Log 1. Timestamp: 8:04PM, 10/6/2026

Crystal sits at a desk. Where, exactly? Who knows. The camera is situated in the upper right corner of the room. A ceiling fan whirs in the background. The woman types on her computer, but pauses every now and again as if zoned out. Her black hair is tied in a tight bun atop her head, fixed with a white scrunchie.

After a few minutes of working, she reaches for the water bottle on top of the desk and—

CRACK!

The glass vase on the table topples off the desk, spilling water across the floor and shattering completely. The small bouquet inside is scattered on the floor. Stunned, Crystal sits there, still holding her water bottle.

She slowly gets up and circles around the desk to look at the broken vase. For the next 2.54 minutes, Crystal stares at the broken glass unblinkingly. Until, with a world-weary and heavy sigh, she moves to clean up the glass shards from the floor.

Intro Post

Hello. I'm Crystal. Also known as 🔍 anon.

Please only refer to me as Crystal or Spyglass. She/her will do.

I didn't realise I had a blog. Huh. Must have made this years ago and never posted. In any case, I will not be putting any of my work on here. I don't feel like it. I have journals for that reason. This is mostly for ease of communication with my colleagues.

Tags. For organization's sake.

OOC

Hmmmmm, as mod does not feel like revealing herself just yet for an added layer of suspense, you may refer to me as C.M. or CM for now.

Just don't send any NSFW or death threats (why are those trending...). And uh, be a decent person idk. Otherwise go wild.
