I'm melting into the floor but aliveish. You?

hydrated but not at full functionality. i'd say 80%. pretty good, considering the circumstances.

how can i help?

I don't think there's much anyone can do except to wait it out, but I appreciate the thought, thank you.

got someone looking after your plants?

Yeah, Eden volunteered to check in on them. And I'm a little wary of going near yours in case I leech all the life out of it, or something.

oh, yes, i'm avoiding running into you 🥰 although it would be interesting from a scientific standpoint to see what happens if you wilt audrey.

Interesting, maybe, but I wouldn't want to risk hurting you. Did I ever tell you that I killed a whole farm when I first got my powers?

you didn't! a whole farm? could you bring them back?

No, once plants are dead, they're dead. I killed everything before I realized what I was doing. It was a very [...] bad time for me. I'm wary of accidentally doing something like that again.

~~so like what range are we talk~~ [......]

well. we fuck up and we learn what caused the fuck up and we try not to do it again. but if you accidentally kill me, know that i forgive you.

I'm not going to accidentally kill you. I'm going to stay away until we get all this sorted out.

are you depressed, lou?

Why? This is a powers thing, not a depressed thing.

oh. i was wondering if such widespread destruction was because it was a very bad time for you, or if it was a very bad time for you because you caused such widespread destruction. nevertheless, the event seems to have lingering effects on your psyche.

Oh. Both, I guess.

My parents were killed in a farming accident and in a moment of [...] heightened emotions, my powers emerged and caused said widespread destruction.

And then my fiancé dumped me for being a monster, so y'know. Bad times all around.

I'm fine now, though. Just being cautious.

ah, i see. a traumatic event triggered by a traumatic event that then caused further trauma when you were already at an incredibly low point. i'm sorry that happened to you. your caution is understandable.

also your ex is a coward.

Yeah, that all sounds about right. Thank you. I'm sorry. I don't mean to dump all this on you.

I mean, in hindsight I guess it's better that he showed his true colors before I married him.

i wouldn't have pried if i didn't want to know.

just think... you could've been married with two kids when your powers emerged and flung you into a messy divorce. sorry about the farm, but nature heals itself.
