@milesjoyce: @kyreyes i actually think i'd be more apt to take care of both if i /had/ the cat

@kyreyes: @milesjoyce please explain the logic behind that. i'm curious.

@kyreyes: @milesjoyces also, is this cat not demonic bc iris would probably like to say hi

[ughkyria-blog]

@milesjoyce: so would it be a bad idea to get a cat a month before i leave for college

@milesjoyce: i mean look at this little guy https://41.media.tumblr.com/2e6675bf7b0b342908ffd46b3f17f977/tumblr_nrzjuw7Vy21tjdvfuo1_500.jpg

@kyreyes: @milesjoyce how do u expect to take care of a cat when you can't take care of yourself

“Kyria? A quitter? No way. Poor counselor, they have no idea what’s coming for them if Kyria Reyes had to quit. You could’ve told people that it was an accident. You’re a nice-ish girl, they probably would have believed you. Y’know, I think the main reason why I still talk to you is because you bash Miles, and it’s always so enjoyable. And a reason why I try to avoid you is because I’m afraid you’ll use your vast knowledge against me like those surgery videos. Please don’t go into detail, that’s just… Even I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I’m curious, how cool are you brothers? Because you may label them as spawn of Satan, but…”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Well, it’s only logical. I need to focus on getting ready for Stanford and since I can’t fire myself that just leads to the option of quitting. Mhmm, I don’t really think it’s that believable but one can always dream. Not to mention you’re looking for someone on my caliber of intelligence for you to cheat off of for next year too, right? But I’ll take that as a compliment, I suppose. Well first, the patient must be under anesthesia and of course this is all after forms and consent has been given. One of the coolest surgeries is total knee replacement especially when the person has arthritis and or osteoporosis because the patella is completely defected and you literally have to pull it out and then place in the replacement. Of course, I could go into more detail but I’ll spare you. I suppose they’re cool. I don’t really like them or care for them. You’d like them. Everyone likes them to be honest. I’m surprised you haven’t heard of them from Jordan. They’re a trio of annoying bastards.”

[descartesdistantstudent-blo-blog]

“I mean, it was awesome but they had given me a three hour notice. I’m just glad to be back finally.”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Eh, you get used to spontaneity like that. Parents try to spend as much time as possible with their kids once they’re closer to leaving. I bet you’re glad to heard American English though. That’s a plus.”

[descartesdistantstudent-blo-blog]

“It’s cool when your parents drag you away to Italy for two weeks.”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Well, Italy is lovely and the fact that you were there for two weeks gives you more time to do things.”

[ctrlmarcus-deactivated20150809]

“Yeah, and I have no idea where they are so I had to get new ones from my landlord, which in itself was a humiliating experience. Here I was thinking that being a grown-up was all wine glasses and tax refunds.”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Maybe you should get a copy just in case you lose that one too. Personally, I think being an adult is having to deal with humiliating situations on your own without your parents fixing it for you, such as your case, but it happens. That’s just how life is, honestly. A bunch of curve balls to see how you handle it.”

[smhmilo-deactivated20150723]

Kyria didn’t want him to die. She’d practically professed her profound and undying affection for him, right then and there. (Not really. Kyria was excruciatingly aloof. But that was the closest thing she’d ever given him to a compliment, and a dude could certainly dream.) “Uh, right. Stevia. Gotcha.” Milo saluted her, a cheesy beam adorning his lips, making a mental note to dispose of the baggie. He breathed a sigh of relief and clutched dramatically at his chest as she clarified her statement. “Fuck, Ky. Why’ve you gotta scare me like that? Jeeze. A’ight, cool. I’ve still got a little more time…” He nodded, half conversing with her, half trailing off into a separate, ongoing dialogue which involved only himself. “Uh, mainly ‘cause this poor dude’s freakin’ pining like a puppy for chills with you. We’re running out of time. You’ll move off to Stanford, and find a new lanky beanpole boy to get buzzed with, and forget all about me. Might be my last chance.” His face lit up, and a broad, irrepressible grin spread over his lips as her resolve crumbled and she agreed. “Seriously? Fuck. Great. I’ll, uh– I’ll see you at like, 7? Or y’know, whenever you feel like showin’ up. I’ll be waiting – all night if I’ve gotta. Don’t abuse that, babe.”

[ughkyria-blog]

Kyria rolled her hazel eyes at his salute. Some days she wondered how she even lived without the spontaneous joy that Milo brought into her life. “I can give you a box if you’d like. My mother is in love with that stuff,” she offered. It’s not like her mother would notice if one of her ten boxes was missing in the first place considering how infrequent her parents had been at their actual home in Aldwater and preferring their lake house in Glocester. “In my defense, I didn’t intend to scare you. I’m a one-track mind so whatever falls out of my mouth makes sense to me,” the petite brunette shrugged and refrained at another sardonic roll of her eyes at his dramatic reaction. “We still have until August. I mean, I don’t really have to be there until the day before orientation so like mid-August. There won’t be another lanky beanpole for me to get buzzed with so soon. At least, not until like the first month of me at Stanford passes by. You know how it took me forever to just get used to you. Even so, there’s a small chance I’m going to find a great friend like you Milo. Friends like you are irreplaceable,” she confessed honestly. A meek smile crept onto her features as his face lit up. Milo had one of those smiles that was infectious to her, and she couldn’t help but return the small sign of exuberant joy he gave her. “I’ll drop by after I walk the dogs for our evening stroll. So..sometimes around eight or seven, it depends. I will try not to abuse it, but it does come in handy if some kind of errand pops up from the parents.”

[gigiqueenie-blog]

Fucking asshole! How come guys are such pigs nowadays?

[ughkyria-blog]

Because the patriarchy has been established since the beginning of the modern human which only allows for their puny brains to think that they’re entitled to everything.

[gigiqueenie-blog]

If you don’t get your hands of my ass, I will hurt you.

[ughkyria-blog]

Whoa, it wasn’t me. Please yell at the guy who is scurrying away to your left.

[smhmilo-deactivated20150723]

“If you must know, it’s splenda. For my coffee. M’tryin’ to cut back on sugar intake where I can – want to get fit, and hot. But alas, coffee with no sugar straight up tastes like burnt ass. Artificial sweetener does the trick. Dorky as fuck, I know.” Much of what she then proceeded to say, Milo’s mind processed as fuzzy static as he zeroed in on a key utterance that caught him off guard. “Wait. Hold up. You’re not actually gonna leave Saturday though, right? Nope. Too fuckin’ soon. I ain’t even wrapped your going away gift, yet.” He paused, averting his gaze, avoiding her deep, glossy nut-brown orbs. “M’not ready for you to leave.” Milo mumbled in an almost inaudible, mousy voice, scuffing his foot along the ground. “Hey. I ain’t stupid, Ky. ‘Course I’m gonna replace shit. Don’t want ‘em catching on. Don’t stew over logistics, babe. Stay chill. Now; you gonna join me, or am I gonna have to get drunk alone for the second time this week? You’re a bad person if you don’t take pity on my sorry ass, just sayin’.”

[ughkyria-blog]

“You’re such a dork, Milo,” she chuckled with both relief and joy. “So you have powdered sucralose with you? You do know that thing is a pesticide in disguise, right? Just use stevia instead if you’re looking for a healthier way to sweeten your coffee. Trust me, I don’t want you dying sooner than you need to.” Kyria blinked owlishly at his reaction, not really realizing what she said could have been taken a different way. “I’m not leaving Rhode Island yet, silly. I’m just leaving my job which was really the only thing holding me down. But I do have to start packing up my stuff now that you mentioned it...” her lips pursed and eyebrows furrowed at the fact that she still hadn’t really started putting things away into boxes. She looked up at Milo whose lips were moving but couldn’t really decipher what he was saying. ‘Guess it’s not that important then,’ Kyria decided and shrugged off his inaudible statement. “Mhmm, alrighty then. And why would that make me a bad person? I mean honestly, I should be praised for alcohol intervention. But I suppose I’ll be joining you tonight.”

[ctrlmarcus-deactivated20150809]

“D’you have any idea how embarrassing it is having to break into your own apartment? I’m pretty sure my neighbors called the police even though not even a week ago I gave them their mail, apparently they already forgot who I am. What a way to put frosting on top of the shit cake, huh?”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Well that hardly sounds like a warm homecoming. Did you lose your keys or something?”

[smhmilo-deactivated20150723]

“You can’t just take my word for it, Ky? Ah, c’mon. You wouldn’t do that. You’re all foam and no beer. You know I live for movie nights with you and your buzzkill ass.” Milo confessed candidly, cocking his head as a sad puppy might, sucking on his bottom lip, hands buried in his jacket pockets. “Nothing exciting been happenin’? Pft. That’s ‘cause you’re sitting around at home. Babe, you’ve gotta get out. You’re gonna go stir crazy if you don’t.” He scoffed, chuckling to himself, carding the calloused tips of his fingers through mussed, chocolate tresses. “My parents left me alone for the weekend. Liquor cabinet’s unlocked – huge lapse of better judgement on their part. So. What do you say? Gonna help me deplete their supply?”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Try me, Milo. I can just take care of the puppy and just go for a night swim instead. But seriously, what is in that? It’s not like people casually carry around table salt or sugar in their pockets in plastic bags. Right, because my commentary is more interesting when buzzed or is it because of my dazzling personality?” Kyria sarcastically retorted and rolled her eyes in jest. “I do not just sit at home. There’s swim training going on in the mornings and then work in the afternoons. I mean, if there’s something remotely interesting, it’s the fact that I get my last pay check tomorrow from my job and then can officially leave on Saturday,” she pondered on the fact. “Lucky you. I’d love for my parents to leave again. I’ve hinted to them that Europe is just a plane ticket away, but they’ve been swamped with work. Hmm, that depends. Are we going to replace said depleted supply so that it’s unnoticeable or are we just going to deplete it?”

[smhmilo-deactivated20150723]

“Shit. Did that baggie fall out of my jacket pocket? Fuck, I think it might’ve. And before you ask – no, it’s not coke; it’s uh…  actually, y’know what? Don’t even worry about it. You didn’t see anything, babe.” He rambled, getting progressively more ruffled and flustered. He coughed to clear his throat, folding arms over his cotton-clad chest. “So, uh, how’s it goin’?”

[smhmilo-deactivated20150723]

[ughkyria-blog]

“Alrighty then, I didn’t see anything,” she affirmed, half-sincerely. Kyria was actually curious what it was that he was hiding away from her. “But if you don’t want to show me, I’m going to assume drugs and call off our movie night then,” she shrugged. “As for how it’s going, it’s going quite tediously as usual.”

[incrediblc]

“Ooh, I’m Kyria, I’m so cool,” Jordan mocked in a high-pitched voice, his eyes shifting from the shelves over to Kyria. He smirked, running a hand through his hair. “Do you realize that your answers always have more information than needed? You ramble a lot, and its cuteness varies.” He finally found the God forsaken bag of chips that he needed and grabbed it, bowing dramatically out of the way for Kyria. “Your Highness.”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Well, since I’m an endotherm much like yourself, I wouldn’t be cool since the internal body temperature of humans is thirty seven degrees celsius which is pretty hot,” Kyria retorted flatly with a completely deadpanned face. “Just thoroughly explaining,” she stated, completely ignoring his half-compliment and restraining from rolling her eyes. ‘No way in hell am I going to fall for this asshole’s crap,’ Kyria thought irritably. “Hardly royalty despite what my last name translates to, but thank you for moving,” she stated as she grabbed the bag and looked back at the list on her phone. “Hmm...I’ve got to go to the produce section next,” Kyria thought out loud as she began to walk away from Jordan.

On campus, i’d figure that i should at least try to get the full college experience for at least my first year at school, but then in the years after i’ll probably switch to off campus. I’m just a bit worried about the whole roommate situation, since you know i don’t…get along well with others. I think a sorority would be fun! I haven’t thought about that until now, so i’ll look into it. I attempted to; I picked some sophomore who thought she was of enough value to live up to my standards of being head cheerleader, i’m just waiting until she comes crawling back for me asking for help.

[ughkyria-blog]

I just don’t trust dorms especially with the shoddy beds, but that’s cool. Yeah, well, hopefully your roommate isn’t annoying, I have fingers crossed for you. Ah, well, the sororities at Harvard aren’t that great. I just remembered that because Evander says that the final clubs is where they have the best parties and the best way for you to make more connections. It’s information he told me about a while back since he wanted to be part of a fraternity and is right now. So in short, just look into the female final clubs at Harvard. Haha, that will be a sight to see. I’m sure now that she can drive she’ll be taking the two hour drive to Boston to see you seeking desperate help.

[byefallon]

Oh, come on, Ky, you should know that i’ve had all of my college essentials ordered and shipped to my house before we graduated. I would love your help, I just think i need something to do with all my time now that I don’t have to deal with bratty cheerleaders.

[ughkyria-blog]

Mhmm, that’s true. Are you staying in a dorm or off campus? Because I can see you living in either and possibly joining a sorority. I mean I already have done what I can and did a bit more on my small California excursion, but I’ll deal with the rest when I leave in a couple of weeks. I don’t really mind since all I will be doing is training. I can see that being a reason. Did you ever elect soemone worthy of being your successor, by the way?

[highvoltagc]

“I’m basically free all summer when I’m not stuck babysitting. They may be evil in tiny human form, but they’ll use the names you call them against you. They always do, they’re evil. And I don’t think they care if it’s legal or not as long as nobody – y’know – dies. I’ll be honest with you, I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t cripple him, but let’s keep that between us. Yeah, yeah, I felt bad enough. At least you weren’t permanently scarred.”

[ughkyria-blog]

“Alrighty, I think next week should be good. I’m quitting this week, so it doesn’t really matter to me. They can go torture the next unfortunate person. No, it’s considered assault, I’m pretty sure. That is why I haven’t done it yet. He’s mentally crippled so I didn’t want to add to the list of physically crippled as well. It would hurt his ego. Nah, I’ve seen worse things. Before Zephyr decided on becoming a cardiac-thoracic surgeon, I was wanting to go into orthopedic surgery so I watched a lot of surgery videos. I even nearly went to the hospital to learn phlebotomy when I turned seventeen but then I got promoted at my archery job so I didn’t. Also, my brothers are spawn of Satan so I’ve been through a lot of scarring things before I moved to Aldwater.”
