Okie small lil’ update.

I have my move in date; I’m going up there in a little less than two weeks to see the salon I’ll be working at & to meet my boss/coworkers (prolly gonna get rotary sushi 😋)

And then work my last shift at the salon I’ve been at for almost 7 years, pack up my jank, and go.

That all being said, change is hard sometimes and I’ll be adjusting to a lot of it, so I don’t want to make any timeline promises; buuut, I would like to come back here and continue working on things we’ve plotted out with whoever is still interested.

In the meantime! HMU on discord. I’m much more active there, so if you wanna talk muses or whatever, yell at me

[zekeg33k]

Okie dokie, everything that was a major immediate stressor has been figured out!

I’m taking a trip up to Chicago to do my stage day at the new salon, and then I will be moving the first week of September. Idk how long it will take me to get settled in, but I do want to come back here eventually 🩶

I miss you all

[zekeg33k]

Howdy folks; a little life update for ya because I miss you guys but I don’t have the spoons to be around currently (I’m active on discord if you’d like to add me)

Anywho, your homie is stressed. A situation at work is escalating (which I’m moving in a month so that stress should go away soon), and I’m still trying to find an apartment.

I hope to make my comeback around here in September. In the meantime you’ll never be bothering me to message about muses and ideas or just to catch up on life.

Things have just been incredibly hard lately, but I’m hoping they let up soon 🩶

[zekeg33k]

Okay so I greatly underestimated how stressful it is to have your house on the market 🥲

I’m sorry I haven’t been here, I will be back once life settles again - until then, add me on discord 🩶 feel free to ask for it if you don’t already have it

[zekeg33k]

okay folks, pictures are being taken of my house this friday, SO in THEORY I should have very little house work after the house is staged, so I'm hoping after I take sunday to just CHILL, I will have energy to create again. I wanna write so bad I'm gnawing at my enclosure

[zekeg33k]

Showing my house to the realtor today so I’m running around trying to make sure everything is clean rip

She narrowed her eyes warily at the offer, still having a hard time believing someone could be that nice. Not outside of her city, not anymore. Taking the gift, she wondered once again if he was luring her in with the promise of that food, a strategy that would easily work with how hungry she was. "This is... not people, is it?" Because she definitely wasn't that hungry and rules of this world were still pretty unclear.

[zekeg33k]

Joel had to take a beat when she asked if the jerky was made from people. It wasn't the craziest question, but still, he hadn't been expecting it. "No. Venison." He answered her, before leaning back a bit. His body was tired. He pulled a map out of his jacket pocket, looking to see where they had wound up, marking the area so he'd know to avoid it next time.

“I don’t need a break. I’m okay.” - Dina @zekeg33k

"Dina..." Her expression was the usual, stoic, one, if a little concerned, brows slightly furrowed as she gently reached out to touch Dina's shoulder. She wasn't convinced that Dina was okay at all, and they surely had time to catch their breath. "Take a moment. If anything happens to you... I'm going to kill everyone. Everyone. And then I'm going to burn everything down and let myself die. Is that what you want? How can you be so cruel?" That was a joke, sort of, but Hannah would gladly sacrifice any enemy to protect Dina - they were kinda friends, weren't they?

[zekeg33k]

Dina brought the back of her hand up to her face, wiping away the beads of sweat that had been building up. As she took this conversation to catch her breath, she rested her hand on her hip. "We don't need to burn anything down." She sighed through breaths. She was really feeling it now.. the weight of the anniversary of her arrival. It had been easy to bury herself in work, but at times she took it a bit too far. It was a mixed bag of emotions. She'd found a home, but she'd had to do so alone. "I could never be that cruel." She shook her head, smiling softly.

meme continuation. | @popularmxnster -> LUKE. // BILLY.

Billy knew he was still a violent person but he didn't like how easy it came out in front of Luke. He didn't want Luke to see that. However when the guy wouldn't leave him alone, Billy took it into his own hands to teach a lesson. Once they were back at Billy's home, he let Luke take over to clean up his bloody and broken knuckles. " Are you okay? I'm sorry I lost my temper like that."

It wasn't a surprise to Luke, that Billy had this in him. Sure, seeing it first hand was entirely different than hearing about it in the calm of a night spent alone, but he knows that he was just trying to protect him. "Me?" Luke questioned, brows furrowing as his hands paused for a moment. "Yeah, I'm fine- are you okay?" He questioned. Luke hated to think that Billy was beating himself up, especially when it wouldn't have happened if not for him.

meme continuation. | @alwaysanangcl -> DANIEL. // JESSICA.

What does safe even mean anymore? She'd once thought being turned meant that she'd be invincible, safe from all who would seek to harm her. Yet, it seemed like once she was turned, the world created new and more insidious ways of hurting her. . . threatening her. It was exhausting. Her breath left her in a sigh, that later she would cringe at how melodramatic it must've seemed, blue eyes wandering up to search the other's, "You don't need to worry about me. I can handle this shit." What were a few more humans screaming that she was a monster outside the house? At least for now they seemed relatively peaceful, if not annoying. "They'll tire themselves out soon enough."

Did he mean it? Well, if he wanted to keep her safe, he certainly could make it harder for anything to hurt her. There was something about her that was different- aside from the not being human thing. Her spirit was strong, not weak like so many he'd haunted before.

"They'll tire themselves out, and rile themselves back up." He added onto her statement, though he isn't pressing for one action or another. Just a simple statement he was sure she'd already come to find out.

“If you’re not going to take care of yourself, at least let me do it for you!” - Jesse (idk he gives me annoyed older brother vibes, fussing over people 😂) @zekeg33k

"I always take care of myself!" The pain in her leg was back and she had fallen down a single step like a bag of potatoes, sure, but she could still climb up to get the----no, she couldn't climb anything. Scowling at the realization that yes, she had to let him do it if she didn't want to cry all the way up, she had to let Jesse collect the boxes of ammo from the higher shelf, Hannah crossed her arms. Somehow continuously almost-injuring him had morphed into being babied. "I guess," she conceded with open frustration, gesturing at the ladder. Which he may actually not need as much given how tall he was. "You worry way too much." And why? Because she was a bit traumatized, and a few times she had fought infected alone, and that one time she had gotten skewered by the raider? That was just normal life, no need to get all fussy.

[zekeg33k]

As she retorted, Jesse crossed his arms, waiting until she finally admitted defeat. He let out a sigh, reaching for the ammo, setting boxes down on the counter.

“What would an appropriate amount of worrying be?” He questions, and from his features it would seem the question was genuine and literal. He is being a touch playful though.

As he got the last box down, he turned to look at her again. He couldn’t help it, he always wondered how the new folks were adjusting. Partly for safety reasons, but also because even if he’d never admit it, he hates for someone to feel alone.

prompt response. | always accepting. -> TOMMY. // HANNAH.

There were many things that could haunt a person in a world like this. It had taken Tommy a lifetime to learn how to live with it all, instead of letting it consume him. He had the people around him to thank for it, really.

These nightmares, and emotional tides weren't new to him, he's seen them in every face he knows. Hannah's words paint a clear picture of where she’s at, mentally. The inability to let her guard down, because you never knew what would be around each corner.

Jackson was safe, but it wasn’t perfect.

"I keep thinking they're going to come back." for Tommy <3 [ @justaprankhan ]

"Mm." Tommy nodded. It was the kind of thing he wanted to make a promise about. That she'd be safe, that Jackson would always keep the bad out. Unfortunately, there had never been any absolutes in life.

"If people come here, we're ready." That much he could assure her. They had good defenses, and they taught anyone who cared to know, how to defend themselves.

[justaprankhan]

She deflated at the question, because she wasn't sure she could trust him not to make fun of her yet; being told she was overreacting may be more than she could take, and while back in her own city no one would have criticized her, out here people were used to all sorts of horrors already. "It's childish," she fidgeted with her arm, pulling at her skin while looking away, "But I'm not... used to all the... bad things that happen... well, everywhere. Where I come from... My city was safe. Seriously safe, it was self-sustained, surrounded by gates that can't be taken out by Infected, so I had never even seen one. It was... like the old days, bad people go to prison. So I wasn't prepared..." she gestured at the air around them, "I met some really, really bad people. I was super scared of Clickers before, but those people put them in prospective and now Clickers don't even make me nervous. And I keep dreaming about the horrible things I saw them do... Like I said, I wasn't prepared. And I've got a wound that will always hurt now, so it makes me... dream of them even more."

[zekeg33k]

There were many things that Jesse might find childish, but what she’s describing isn’t one of them. The world wasn’t safe- apparently it never really was, but the threats they faced just happened to be more apparent. Jesse doesn’t typically find himself scared, but he had other struggles he didn’t talk much about.

“If I’ve learned anything, it’s that people are the real monsters. Clickers, infected- at least we know what to expect from them. People.. people are always a surprise.” Sometimes the surprise was good, most of the time it wasn’t. There was a moment of silence before he tacked on: “is there something that would make you feel more safe?” Another pause. “I’ve been training Ellie. Would something like that help?”
