RAMMIE: =Knocking? Yep, that's what that is at Ananya's door. Rammie's here for a surprise visit. Spontaniety is fun right?=
ANANYA: -she's surprised to hear someone at her door, but she's been feeling like a hermit lately, playing video games alone for most of the time. when the knocking happens, she pauses the game she's playing to get up and answer the door. She certainly doesn't expect to see Rammie there but she forces a smile anyway- oh hi...!
RAMMIE: =It's certainly been a while but she watches Ananya and smiles a little= Hello dearrr. I was wonderrrring if you would like some company.
ANANYA: -she steps aside- if you want to...! spend time here...! sure...!
RAMMIE: Yes I would, thank you. =Steps on inside, looking around= RAMMIE: It's been a while since I've seen you.
ANANYA: has it...? i guess you're right...! how are you...?
RAMMIE: I'm fine, can't complain. Orrr I could but we might not have that long togetherrr. =Buh dmp tss=
RAMMIE: What abour yourrrself?
ANANYA: -takes a moment- i'm good...! just playing some games...!
RAMMIE: Oh that sounds fun. Do you mind if I watch you play and likely rrrruin yourrrr concentrrration?
ANANYA: sure...! -she smiles because she really is not a big fan of being alone and it's nice to for someone to drop by- would you rather do something else...? i don't want you to be bored...!
RAMMIE: I wouldn't be borrrred watching you, but what otherrrr options would you rrrrecommend?
ANANYA: watching a movie...! i could do your hair...! we could make bracelets...!
RAMMIE: Making brrracelets sounds fun, also the hairrrr. We could do both.
ANANYA: okay...! you make a bracelet while i do your hair...? -she grins-
RAMMIE: Yes, that sounds fun. =Goes to sit down= RAMMIE: =Uncaptchas a dresser and goes down to a drawer. The drawer is full of colorful yarns, she picks through it= Arrrre we making them forrr anyone orrrr anything in parrrrticularrr?
ANANYA: we can make them for...! whatever you want...! anybody...!
RAMMIE: Alrrrright. =Unravels a few colors and opens the first drawer to pull out some scissors and cuts them before tying the ends= RAMMIE: =Speaks carefully= I'm actually surrrrprrrised that you've been so scarrrce.
ANANYA: -gets her hair stuff before sitting behind rammie on the couch- oh really...? you noticed...?
Mishroom-06/20/2016
RAMMIE: It's harrrrd to not notice. Yourrr a verrrry, exciting perrrson. It's no secrrret when
ANANYA: -that makes her feel good to hear- you think i'm...? exciting...?
RAMMIE: =Weaves the strings= Well.... yes. You'rrre quite the people perrrrson. And you'rrre verrry apprrrroachable. So yes. You arrrre exciting to be arrround.
ANANYA: -starts brushing out her hair- well...! thanks...! -she's blushing a little, feeling a sense of pride- so are you...!
RAMMIE: =Laughs a little while letting her fingers twine the strings together= I'm glad you think so. =She thinks she's getting better at this whole socializing and friend thing.= RAMMIE: Do you plan on grrrracing the generrrral public with yourrrr prrresense any time soon?
ANANYA: maybe...! i guess it just depends if i feel like it...! you know...?
RAMMIE: Yes, I underrrrstand. It is nice to be alone sometimes.
ANANYA: yeah...! -her voice trails off a little- sometimes you have to be...!(edited)
RAMMIE: Sometimes you have to. =She repeats and is quiet for a moment= RAMMIE: I typically am. Have been. It's easy to take carrrrre of yourrrrself.
ANANYA: -pauses- do you like it...?
RAMMIE: Forrr a while, yes and I still do. It was simplerrrr.
ANANYA: it's hard...! sometimes...! i think...! but it can be nice...!
RAMMIE: Oh? I suppose it's no surrrrprrrise that you prrreferrrr grrroups. But everrrryone needs time to themselves.
ANANYA: -nods- yeah...! to recharge...? or something...?
RAMMIE: Yes that's it exactly. =Finishes this bracelet and cuts off the excess=
ANANYA: i can understand...! that...! do you like being alone...? better than being with other people...?
RAMMIE: =Thinks about that= Um... no? Maybe... It's a little complicated. RAMMIE: I... like being alone. It's quiet and comforrrting in it's own way. But I want bonds too, not just to watch all of you do everrrything you do. RAMMIE: It's just a little harrrd. It's =makes a face briefly= exhausting if I'm being honest.
ANANYA: -stops for a moment- you mean being alone...? is exhausting...?
RAMMIE: =Clears her throat= Um. No... RAMMIE: I mean, being social. Forrr me, is exhausting.
ANANYA: -continues brushing her hair again- how so...?
RAMMIE: =This wasn't a conversation that was supposed to happen, she just shifts a little and continues to focus on weaving her yarn= RAMMIE: It's just, differrrent to see how people act verrrsus interrrracting with them. RAMMIE: I, may sometimes. Have trrrouble, with it.
ANANYA: -she stops again, leaning forward a little- you do...? but you seem so...! composed all the time...!
RAMMIE: =Aggressively tries to ignore the leaning, her eyes watching her fingers= Well, trrruthfully dearrr it is easy to seem some way once you've seen it enough. RAMMIE: But, um, this is a you and I converrrsation. Not verrry many people know that about me. I'd like to keep it that way. Just to clarrrify.
ANANYA: rammie...! why would i tell anyone that...? ANANYA: i can relate...! ANANYA: it's hard trying to fit in with everyone...!
RAMMIE: =Goes a lil jade in the ears= Rrrright, just. Checking. RAMMIE: But I wasn't awarrrre you werrrre having the similarrr issue. You seem verrry easy to get along with.
ANANYA: -she nods- well thanks...! it's just hard to feel like...! ANANYA: -starts separating rammies hair to braid it- people want you around...!
RAMMIE: It is.... =Hums and tops off this one before getting more colors together and working on a third bracelet= RAMMIE: I don't mean to dig but is that why we haven't seen so much of you?
ANANYA: -she's quiet for a few moments. Yes and no. But that's a lot harder to admit- ...i don't know...!
RAMMIE: =She hums wondering if she should go ahead and take that as a yes= RAMMIE: Things have been rrrratherrr strrressful.
ANANYA: -ananya wonders if rammie heard about that whole debacle with sileas and dove, and her cheeks flush maroon- oh...! did you um...! when you say that...! do you mean...! that you heard things...?
RAMMIE: =Of course she heard things, but she tries to be tactful= Yes. =Fuck, wait. Shit hold on= RAMMIE: But, what matterrrrs to me, is what you have to say on the matterrr.
RAMMIE: I mean, that's kind of my thing. Hearrring things.
RAMMIE: So, yes. It's just. Not imporrtant.
ANANYA: -she freezes for a moment, feeling flustered allot a sudden- can you tell me what you heard...? first...? -the last thing she needed was more people knowing about everything she did wrong. she didn't want to give away more-
RAMMIE: Um. When I say, hearrrd I mean morrre orrr less frrrom-- =clears throat no need to dump all her secrets= Rrright. RAMMIE: Just that therrre werrre complications, possible developments. That's all.
ANANYA: ...that doesn't tell me much...!
RAMMIE: To be fairrr this is only inferrrrences. RAMMIE: ...That I hearrrd. Obviously. But you and Sileas werrrre a possible new couple on the horrrrizon. So I hearrr.
ANANYA: we aren't...! -she says quickly, and maybe a bit loudly- we weren't...! it was dumb...!
RAMMIE: Dumb?
ANANYA: yes...! dumb...! it was a casual thing that...! turned into this huge mess because...! i wasn't thinking...! and now we aren't even talking...! and some people are...! mad at me...! well they were...! and it's just...! STUPID...! what...! i did...! was stupid...!
RAMMIE: Why would they be mad at you?
ANANYA: -now she's just blurting out everything, frustrated- BECAUSE...! i almost slept with sileas...! the day after dove and i broke up...! and dove...! found out...! so she punched him...!
RAMMIE: =Ah, that kind of clicks into place something Sileas had said= RAMMIE: =She's quiet for a moment then speaks= Yes I rrrememberrr the whole. Punching thing. Still it was a mistake, arrre you cerrrtain they'rrre still upset with you?
ANANYA: -she shrugs- i don't know...! maybe not...! but i just don't want to find out...!
ANANYA: i don't know why...! anyone would really want me around...! after all of that...!
RAMMIE: I'll just skip the cheesy "They'rrrre yourrr frrriends" bit. But they obviously do carrrre about you. RAMMIE: Otherrr people carrre about you as well. Frrrrom such passionate rrresponses that much should be obvious.
ANANYA: -she shrugs- maybe...! ANANYA: i've tried to hang out...! in public...! with people...! but i feel weird...!about it...!
RAMMIE: =Stops weaving the bracelet she's working on and ties the ends tight before cutting off the excess= RAMMIE: Time will tell, just take yourrr time for yourrr sake. And if you still think about otherrrs I'm surrrre I'm not the only one who missed you.
ANANYA: i don't know...! -she sighs- you might be...! i think you are just too nice...!
RAMMIE: Um. Prrrobably not. To the latterrrr. Definitely not to the forrrmerrr.
ANANYA: i knew what you meant...! it's okay...! -she's kind of just twisting rammie's hair around her fingers now. abrupt subject change- what do you do for fun...?
RAMMIE: =Catches that subject change but doesn't mention it= Hmm...... I. RAMMIE: Obserrrve things.
ANANYA: so you are a watcher...!
RAMMIE: Yes. I think it's fun.
ANANYA: i bet you know...! a lot of things...! about a lot of people...!
RAMMIE: =Sweats a lil= Y....es. I do.
ANANYA: -pauses- can you tell me anything...?
RAMMIE: What did you want to know?
ANANYA: i haven't seen dove in a while...! what's she up to...?
RAMMIE: She's grrrrounded and on kitchen duty. So I hearrr. Obserrrved.
ANANYA: oh...! right...! anything else...?
RAMMIE: Nothing notable. She's also been a bit aloof.
ANANYA: oh...! okay...! -just completely stops doing rammies hair for a moment-
RAMMIE: Hm? Not what you expected?
ANANYA: -resumes- what...? ANANYA: i mean...! i guess not...! ANANYA: it's hard to explain...!
RAMMIE: I can only imagine.
ANANYA: how about...? joel...? know any dirt on him...?
RAMMIE: Nothing out of his usual shinanigans. Things have been, forrrr the most parrrrt, quiet.
ANANYA: wow...! what an inconvenient time to ask...!
