#sonriente e sinagra

the cafe that was on Lucy’s way home from class was busier than usual, but all that usually meant was a couple minutes’ extra wait to pick up her order.  any extra wait was enough to give her a bit of a breather, but it was never enough to make her late for anything she might have in the evening, which wasn’t a concern for this evening.

but as she surveyed the bustle of people, one of the incoming customers caught her eye.  he looked familiar from a distance, but surely that wasn’t--?

but it was, that was Eli.  she looked away as soon as recognition clicked, and desperately hoped her food would be ready before he saw her.

#WednesdayWisdom Never underestimate the power of kindness! It can be a very effective method of indoctrination 😁

Is it on purpose that you misspell "foreshadowing"?

{{The phrasing is indeed intentional!  A while back in her Strex!verse iteration, Lucy started shadowing a psychiatrist, against her better judgment.  So the “for shadowing” tag has to do with that–pertinent psych things, as well as things about her general mistrust about the whole situation.}}

{{And it’s well-placed mistrust, because things are going to go Badly.}}

{{So the stuff in that tag is for shadowing–in that it’s pertinent to her academic shadowing–but also foreshadowing–because stuff’s going to go pear-shaped.}}

{{And thank you for the question!}}

"Pretending’s hard work, you know.

(You do know something about that, don’t you?) (I’m sure.)

“Make-believe” sounds so light-hearted, fanciful.  But sometimes the stakes can be very high— making people believe you,  believe your story,  can have all the consequence  in the world.”

👀 …someone my muse likes, but doesn’t trust.💩 …someone my muse dislikes, but admires.👿 …someone my muse used to like, but doesn’t anymore.

someone my muse likes, but doesn’t trust

you mean most of the people I cross paths with at Strex?

… if you insist on someone specific, I like that Dr Prendtergast is interesting and a pretty good teacher, but I trust him less than a whelk's chance supernova

someone my muse dislikes, but admires

"dislike" is too strong a word, but Michelle. drives me crazy, but it's impossible not to admire her individual determination.

someone my muse used to like, but doesn’t anymore.

not really anybody—I've never had a permanent falling-out with anyone, really
