[longlegs]

yeah! he could balance things out

i don't know
i thought about it but she's pretty serious about the family dinners
like no ones allowed to miss them and if they do she just grabs them and makes them appear at the table
then again time like...freezes, too
none of the guys from home knew i was missing
it's been months for me and they said they'd seen me the day before they woke up here and whatever

[chokedout]

maybe it's a weird time vacuum?
it was like that for me where i was before here
nobody would seem to notice anyone missing from home
and if they went back home and then returned, they wouldn't remember the time they spent away from home while back there either
it was kinda mindbendy

maybe it's the same thing here

[longlegs]

like what happened with august, right?
he was away for years and didn't realize he'd been here until he got back
how long was he gone for us?
weeks?

[chokedout]

yeah
i don't know how it works but the whole cross universe thing's not playing by any familiar rules

which means i might still be 23
im holding out hope

[longlegs]

[ Pff. ]

sooo what should i tell people next month?

[chokedout]

that's up to you babe
but do I get to throw a party?

[longlegs]

i thought about it
there's a few people i'd like to celebrate with if everything doesn't go to hell

[ she jinxed it. ]

question is if you wanna say you're into older women once you're 23 and i turn 26

[chokedout]

i mean, technically i'll still be into older women if i stay 25
i win every which way

[longlegs]

well let me know when you make up your mind
we have to be in sync for whenever we have to answer questions about each other
you know, for the next magical escape room they drop on us

[chokedout]

Well, i guess i wouldn't want to lose the year i've been with you
so i'll have to keep it. but i am still very into my older lady, my cougar, my sexy lady ♥

[longlegs]

never thought i'd say i can't wait to get older

[ ... ]

speaking of not wanting to lose things
do you think there's something we should do in case
one of us leaves first?

[chokedout]

like what?

[longlegs]

umm
didn't think that far ahead
i don't have like
magical imagination

or imagination for magic i guess

maybe something like the ring you gave me?
except just
in us
or on us
something we can sneak out of here and activate back home if it takes our memories

[chokedout]

I mean, we do have the tattoo
We could work on that, imbue the next with magic
anything physically on us (or maybe in us) might be taken away
but


there's one more witchy thought
kinda weird and fucked up
but...

[longlegs]

oh yeah! that works

what is it?

[chokedout]

well you saying "in us" was making me think
i don't know if something in us floating around might stick
but

if it's *part* of us
i'm just thinking of like
some sort of imbuement
all i can think of is like blood or bone

wanna bone swap?? /romance

[longlegs]

[ well

at least she knows something about having her bones taken out ]

wow you know how to do that?

[chokedout]

no. but how hard can it be?

[August'll hate this.]

i'll look into it but just... swapping a rib or a wrist bone or something
maybe a fingertip

i know i can heal but it's probably gonna take work to make it stick/accept
but idk
is that weird? obsessive??? too witchy?

[longlegs]

i mean
we know at least two deities who can help us make it stick right?

i
guess normally it would be but i don't care

i really need to make sure we don't lose each other
is that okay?

[chokedout]

i can't lose you either
i'd do anything
this is just




small fry magic
we'll plan it out? best course, best solution, best people to rope into it?

[longlegs]

[ Sometimes her anxiety about losing him and the wish that they could stay together is so strong — so much that she wonders if it'd be enough to draw Raíz's attention again. All the way to this pocket dimension no one seems to be able to leave willingly, or openly, and always without saying goodbye. ]

yeah
just tell me what you need me to do and i will
no matter what

[ There's a flash of that memory earlier this month; Theo in his own memory kneeling, looking at her, saying I don't want us to part. ]

[chokedout]

ok so first i guess research
but like
do we asks someone who'll know but might judge us (august)

[longlegs]

i get the feeling he's the kind of know but might judge who will also tell us absolutely do not do this

[ She remembers how he reacted to her deal with Sully, sobs. ]

speaking of august
i
have news

[chokedout]

[And then they'll do it annnywaaay.]

yeah? what's up babe

[longlegs]

we kinda talked

[ read: she yapped about her feelings ]

and we decided to give dating a go
like, actual boyfriend girlfriend dating
