(I made myself some fantastic iced coffee from a cookbook I got for my birthday but I had to go to Walmart to get instant coffee. Adventure 1. Adventure 2: Took my little brother to get frozen yogurt! Enjoyed it a lot but I had to go up a hill that my car has historically had trouble with. Adventure 3: Went to the local game store to get my dad some printable D&D miniatures for his birthday and bought myself some kickass dice. Adventure 4: My brother forgot his supplies for theater camp so immediately upon returning home I had to run his stuff over to the camp. So I did a lot of driving today and felt super productive for it being summer and all.)

(I can! And my dad is making BBQ pineapple chicken packets tonight. I'm very excited.)
"People think that souls hang around the bones sometimes, though." He shrugged. "I guess it's more for the living than the dead, but it's supposed to help sometimes."

(That sounds delightful! We are heading to our hotel now and I am excited lol we have been going since 6 am)(I may have to go to the doctor and I don’t wanna)
Ky nodded. “…maybe. But he’s buried in town. And…” she shook her head, getting awkward. “I can’t go back there. Ever.”

(Awesome about the hotel! I hope you don't have to go to the doctor though.)
"Why not?"

(Yeahhh they’re throwing around the words ‘workers comp’ and are gonna text my head boss potentially and I am embarrassed)
Ky glanced away, blushing. “They wouldn’t want to see me.”

“Why would they?” She actively wasn’t looking at him. “I’d just be a reminder of what they lost.”

“I still abandoned them,” she said very quietly. “None of them will want anything to do with me. And I don’t blame them.”

"You were kidnapped," he disagreed. "That's not abandonment."

“I was supposed to be in the harem,” she said, still not looking at him. “All my friends went there. All my female friends. And I abandoned them and went to the stables. They probably hate me and they should.”

You're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Sure, they're weak, and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. Above all, they never give up. — Metatron
