[ time stamp 10:03 am ]xkurotomato Text to Gale:Good morning, sunshine! Quote: Text to Gale:That’s how Mami used to greet me every morning. Well it’s more like buenos días of course, but you should know that: you lived in Europe, you’re bound to have heard some easy Spanish. If not, I’m honor bound to teach you some! Quote: Text to Gale:Anyway, I felt like that was an appropriate nickname after our practice fight! If you call me Moonie, though, I’ll start going all Harry Potter on you. It’s been an impulse ever since I heard your accent okay don’t judge me. It’s a lovely accent, though~ <3 Quote: Text to Gale:I’ve told you that, right? Well, now I am! It’s one of many lovely things~ Quote: Text to Gale:I know you won’t actually get these until you come back, and I feel weird texting into nothing until then? Maybe I’ll write instead next time and leave it under your door or something. I don’t babble so much when I write—more concrete, you know? Quote: Text to Gale: I wouldn’t mind the walk to your house either; I could make it part of a workout! Quote: Text to Gale:I think I’ll do that. Yeah. But today you’ll just get spammed with texts~ Quote: Text to Gale:It’s boringgggg. Thane keeps me on a schedule for training, but even then it’s so boringggggg. I even took a nap and I just have all this weird energy all of a sudden. I think I could run a mile. No, seriously! Let me try Quote: Text to Gale:Nope bad idea horrible idea never doing this in the sun again oh my god the screen has like sweat all over it and I feel grosssss. No walking to your house for like a week okay ow Quote: Text to Gale:Ok here we go nice big water bottle and a towel and a couch yessss Quote: Text to Gale:I did do it all, though, the mile. Just not always running or anything. There’s a metaphor for you: I will always get to the goal I want, even if I don’t end with the same momentum I started, because I will find a way! That is your Stormy lesson for the day~ Quote: Text to Gale:I think what I’m going to do is put myself into some more of those Mist training exercises Ms. Candace put up. Maybe one day I’ll even shadow you, so I hope you’re prepared for that~ I still have a few days before I have to return the shoes to her—I’m lucky I Quote: Text to Gale: made it out at all! They’re super pretty, though; Ms. Candace has EXCELLENT taste in shoes. Quote: Text to Gale:I’m also going to see if I can get out a little more too while you and Nevada are busy. Maybe check up on my brothers, see how things are going. Definitely Roland because I know that Nevada still has unresolved feelings about things, and I bet he does too. Quote: Text to Gale:I can’t just sit by knowing people have a problem, you know? Like I have to be a perpetual fixer upper, but it doesn’t feel like a job or a chore: it just feels natural. Thane tells me no-one deserves anything other than what they can take for themsel Quote: Text to Gale:ves, but sometimes you just need a little hand here and there, right? And I like helping. Quote: Text to Gale: I think people deserve second chances if nothing else. Quote: Text to Gale:Did I tell you I pulled something like that with Jake? I called him to the library not too long ago to talk about what happened on that desert mission, and we’re cool now. We sort of got on topic about Sherry and had a heart to heart. Quote: Text to Gale:I figured they had a thing, but it's always nicer to hear it spoke out loud. Don't you agree~? Anyway I told him to feel the sunset of past memories at his back and look to the dawn of a better future, and I even gave him a Disney lesson! Quote: Text to Gale:Can you believe he's never seen Beauty and the Beast?! Quote: Text to Gale:Ms. Candace calls me Belle sometimes, but I can't be if Sherry is! So there you go. I hope that they find happiness, though... Quote: Text to Gale:I think I've sent too many today. Sorryyyyyyy. I'll try to cut them down next time! Quote: Text to Gale:I've made you wait before, so I don't mind returning the favor. Be safe, stay focused, and good luck.

[ timestamp 3:32 pm ]kurotomato Text to Gale:Nevada says hi. Well, I bet she would anyway. She’s still sleeping. I’m reading her Sleeping Beauty this time since Ms. Candace left the book behind. Quote: Text to Gale:Totally the Disney princess I would’ve pegged her as. Is that lazy of me? I should be more creative . . . Quote: Text to Gale:But she did tell me that was her favorite story, though, so maybe it’s all fair in the end. Quote: Text to Gale:I’m watching The Lion King with her right now. Did I tell you she got me a dvd player and a few Disney movies? Best bestie ever <3 Quote: Text to Gale:The other one she got me was Lilo and Stitch, but that one makes me cry like every time when Stitch has The Ugly Duckling and is trying to find his family in the rain and just ugh tearsssss everywheeeeeeere Quote: Text to Gale:I used to cry every time Simba found his dad after he died, but thankfully I’ve gotten over that; he finds his happy ending after all. I mean so does Stitch but…It’s different somehow. Simba ends up with his old family and a few new additions. Stitch didn’t have anyone at all and had to start from scratch. Quote: Text to Gale:So here’s your Stormy lesson for the day: I fear loneliness more than I fear death. Right now that sounds very profound, but . . . then again maybe everyone has a thought like that. Maybe it’s not a lesson about me so much as a lesson about people. Quote: Text to Gale:I’m not sure why I’m thinking of things like that when a good movie is playing and singing to me. I have a bad habit of thinking too much I guess. Quote: Text to Gale:. . . Wait, now I know. It’s because neither of you are here for cuddles. Quote: Text to Gale:It’s sorta lonely. I’ll try not to think about it. Quote: Text to Gale:Food is gross tonight, but there’s a rumbly in my tumbly. At least you can’t mess fruit up. Unless it’s rotten or something. Quote: Text to Gale:I never asked where you were getting sent. Is it too hot or cold? I hope you dressed appropriately! If you get sick on the job I will make frowny faces at you sad Quote: Text to Gale:I mean it sad sad sad sad Quote: Text to Gale:In commemoration of your win in the fruit fight, I arranged a plate to look like your face: banana peel for hair, two mango slices for eyes, orange slice for a mouth, and watermelon wedges for your cheeks since you blush so much! Quote: Text to Gale:And then I ate it all. HAH! Quote: Text to Gale:Well except the banana peel. I’d already eaten your banana. Quote: Text to Gale:Oh my god that came out wrong you know what I meant okay you know what I’m just gonna go sleep early okay good night

[ timestamp 11:11 am ]kurotomato Text to Gale:I made my wish! It's that today goes well for us both. Quote: Text to Gale:I'm going to find Roland and see if I can't help patch things up with him and bestie. It was super awkward the last time those two were in a room together - like cut the air with a knife style. Quote: Text to Gale:I don't know what they both want, but maybe if I can bridge them a little closer to talking the distance won't be so large and scary. I know what it's like when you want to talk to someone but you're scared to. Quote: Text to Gale:I hope you're never hesitant to talk to me, while we're on the topic! I'm a very good listener. My old friend used to talk and talk and talk . . . Quote: Text to Gale:I wonder if it's okay to miss the old life; just parts of it. Not everything was shadows and fear after all. I'd still say yes to the recruiter even if time got rewinded, but some things are hard to forget, you know? Quote: Text to Gale:Anyway, wish me luck! I need it more than you do, Mr. Specialized Full Hunter ; D Quote: Text to Gale:Overall that went better than expected! Roland's a nice guy, if a bit melancholy. I guess I would be too if I was worrying so much about things. Quote: Text to Gale:I think I talk too much. This isn't always a problem with like strangers and acquaintances, but I've been ranting more lately on just a whim . . . I think you and Nevada have gotten me opened up just enough to where you can't stop the flood! Quote: Text to Gale:Seriously, though, if I talk too much you should let me know, okay? Like Nevada says, be honest! Although I'll permit you a few secrets if you permit me a few of mine. Quote: Text to Gale:Which will probably end up getting revealed at a later date anyway since I apparently can't shut up! Seriously, now I'm ready to just blab to anyone and everyone. I think I'm gonna go train a bit, see if I can't burn some energy off. Quote: Text to Gale:Training went okay; Thane's charge went off wrong again, but nothing serious happened. He'll get it fixed up in no time! Quote: Text to Gale:I did run into Heidi, though, this chick dating Tuck (who you'll recall is one of my brothers). Also a nice sort thankfully; I was afraid I'd have to learn how to be a big sister and go all mama bear and stuff. Not that Tuck can't take care of himself. Quote: Text to Gale:Although for a little while I wondered what he was doing. :T At least he looks settled now. I'm calling them Full Moon since they're in the same division~ Quote: Text to Gale:Speaking of, I'm starting to wonder if Ninja Pirates is best for us. Not that ninjas and pirates aren't cool, though! But our ship name should be just as grand and elegant and simple all at once! Quote: Text to Gale:I was trying to combine our names like they do with celebrities, but uh . . . Gormy Garmy Stale WE CAN'T BE STALE GALE OKAY WE JUST CAN'T Quote: Text to Gale:It's gonna bug me now I just know it. It needs to be perfect Quote: Text to Gale:I think you'd be proud to know I practiced some Death interrogation on her, though. Nobody expects a sweeter version of the Spanish Inquisition! Quote: Text to Gale:I'm having trouble sleeping again. The trouble is I'm not bothering to close my eyes. Thinking too much again. Quote: Text to Gale:I think I know why I've had all this energy all of a sudden. Either I'm in the middle of a manic episode (which is going to end soon if so), or I'm on a hormonal rush from dating again. Probably both. Quote: Text to Gale:But the train of thought is "I'm happy. Why not help others be happy too?" I guess that's why I've been meddling a bit with people this much. Meddling? Socializing? Instigating? I don't know the best word for it right now. Quote: Text to Gale:Roland said he was going to the Haunted House on his own after Ms. Candace said we're not allowed to. I snitched right after he told me to keep it a secret. I don't know if that makes me a good friend or a bad one. At least, I think we're friends now. Quote: Text to Gale:Time flies when you're reliving every other stupid mistake. Don't you hate when you get caught in that cycle? A lot of people here seem to be, or at least the ones I know apparently. Quote: Text to Gale:Why is everyone letting themselves get stuck? Why is it always easier to see the problem when you're not part of it? I like to think I'm helping, but . . . Maybe next time I should keep away. I don't know my new boundaries here like I did in the other life. Quote: Text to Gale:And I think that's why I have to explore them. I'm someone else here, but . . . I don't know who that is just yet. Life for me was on automatic before I got here, and for a while I was still on those tracks. Lately, though, I want to Quote: Text to Gale:I don't know. Derail. Go faster. Go down some new path. Strap a rocket to the back and see what happens. Fishtail through a curve and travel to an exotic new land while the credits roll. Maybe it's all the leftover energy talking. Quote: Text to Gale:I never gave you a Stormy lesson for the day. I guess now's as good a time as any. Quote: Text to Gale:The lesson is, I lie and give half truths more than people probably know. Just the little things this time. Quote: Text to Gale:I never finished that mile and I never did make a fruit face. But doesn't the story sound better believing I did? That I had the conscious thought and willpower to say I would do something and then actually go through with it? Quote: Text to Gale:The truth is, I have a problem with initiative. All these wonderful ideas come, but sometimes my body just doesn't feel like responding. Like there's a disconnect between mind and body. I'll do it I say, but then I don't. Quote: Text to Gale:Or something happens and then just . . . I don't know. A wall comes up. Quote: Text to Gale:I'm thinking too much. Awful past time. Quote: Text to Gale:Thinking doesn't settle this for me. It's just kicking up mud in the water, making things murkier than before. Everything here is strictly regulated, but I can't help feeling so much more free here than I did in my old life. There I was in a mold. Here I can break out of it. Quote: Text to Gale:Freedom is a frightening thing. It's handing you the power of all possibilities and saying have fun. Quote: Text to Gale:Do I want to change? Do I want to stay the same? Can I have a mix? Vanilla and chocolate and something else--cookie dough. Rocky road. Mint chocolate chip. Can you have your cake and eat it too? Can I choose to mush it with ice cream? Quote: Text to Gale:I hate being too tired but not able to sleep. Makes me go to a weird place. Quote: Text to Gale:Cargos on ships and shipments in cars. All the world's a stage, but is it the best of all possible worlds? Cookie if you get both references. Quote: Text to Gale:It's cold. It's always cold. My fingers and toes want to freeze off for no good reason even with all the sheets and covers. It's dark too. I can almost imagine the abominable snowman coming over with snowcones even though I'm not exiled. Quote: Text to Gale:Nobody can see your demons if you show them only angels. Quote: Text to Gale:I don't want the rush to end. If you stay up top too long, the down lows are so much worse. Coming down at all is like seeing a beautiful picture in your head and not being able to draw it. not being able to share. not being able to realize it. Quote: Text to Gale:I don't want to fall. I dream of falling sometimes and it never stops being frightening. Can't I just stay afloat for a bit more? Quote: Text to Gale:But I gotta dip down, I guess. You can't distinguish highs and lows if you stay the same. What is light if there's no darkness to define it? Quote: Text to Gale:Ok. I'll sleep. If I sleep it off this'll all go away like a nightmare you barely remember in the morning. Quote: Text to Gale:Hope the artifact isn't giving you too much trouble. No rush if it is. Just be safe.

[ timestamp 10:59 am ]kurotomato Text to Gale:Sorry about last night Quote: Text to Gale:I shouldn't be allowed to text that late haha... Quote: Text to Gale:Still a little cold when inside. I'm on pod duty right now but I'll warm up soon as I'm done Quote: Text to Gale:Think I'll sing to some sleepers, see if that doesn't help wake someone up. Least I'll be moving Quote: Text to Gale:Worst idea, worst timing. Going outside to warm up. Quote: Text to Gale:Fell asleep and missed lunch ugh Quote: Text to Gale:My mind's in this haze like...I don't know how to explain. Like being stuck forever thinking every day is Sunday. That feeling. Mucky, not looking forward to something on Monday, weekend's almost done. Quote: Text to Gale:Think I'm gonna return Ms Candace's shoes now. I need to test something before I decide what to do next. Quote: Text to Gale:Success and a snack for me! Got in and out without anybody in the house first try~ I didn't make it the first time when I was breaking in, but apparently I'm super sneaky enough to hit when Ms. C and Molly aren't there. Quote: Text to Gale:Death Division quota filled! Well, almost. I want to do one more thing to be satisfied that I'm in a place that's better than I was before. Quote: Text to Gale:I'm going to the Haunted House after a better meal. Quote: Text to Gale:It's not for revenge for Nevada, and it's not for revenge for what happened to me a while ago either. It's strictly get in and get out. Quote: Text to Gale:I want to find out more information about the thing that attacked me. It got through my Fear shield somehow...That'd be my luck, wouldn't it. Quote: Text to Gale:I promise I'll pendant out if it gets too much; I'm not interested in heroics. Quote: Text to Gale:Don't tell Ms C okay? I know she sent that message telling us not to, but that's just so that people doing patrols and stuff are aware something's in there. If it's just me, it'll be easier. Trust me. Quote: Text to Gale:I'm not looking for a fight. I'll be okay. Quote: Text to Gale:I just need to shake off this Sunday feeling. Move on with myself, you know?
