[Feferi failed her anti-Condesce and anti-Scratch filters.]I'm tired. Not even physically, just really emoceanally drained. It's been a rough...I don't even remember how long I've been here anemonemore. But the seas are so rough and I feel like flotsam and jetsam just floating out there

Wanna know how I deal with it?

[dreambubbly]

Yeah, Marisa. How do you deal?

[adropofjupiter]

I remind myself that I have something this place can't ever take away from me no matter how hard it tries.

And that's love, ze. Most powerful thing out there.

[dreambubbly]

I know that's true deep down inside. It's definitely true. But the part I have troububble with is the times it does mess with my feelings.

[godisachild]

You keep going on. That's it.

[dreambubbly]

In the end, that's it. I know. I just don't want to be in the reely bad place where I'm swimming hard against the current.

[godisachild]

Yeah, well....

We don't really have a choice, do we?

[dreambubbly]

That much is true. We all had the choice taken away the moment we arrived here.

[spiraldoll]

That is a very good question. I wonder the same thing, at times.

[dreambubbly]

It's hard to stay upbeat when it feels like you're fighting this constant sadness. I don't know what the answer is, either.

[spiraldoll]

It is very hard. But... Maybe there is no answer.

Maybe people just adapt to it, perhaps there is no specific way.

[dreambubbly]

I don't think there's really an answer, either. Adapt, but there's no choice to abscond or to advance.

[hintcoinplz]

It's awful, I really do wish this place would give us a break sometimes. I suppose the only there is to do is keep pressing forward.

...By the way, where do you live? I have something for you.

[dreambubbly]

That's true. I just wish we had a break to just rest a while, though. It gets so draining.

Oh! That reminds me I have something for you, too. I'm at 5722 Cunningham.

[hintcoinplz]

Perhaps we should have a party of some sort. Maybe that'll show 'em!

But anyway, I'll be right over!

[And a few minutes later, there's a knock!]

[dreambubbly]

[And there's a Feferi right there, brightly wrapped package in her hands, which she promptly puts down. Hug greetings are good too, right?]

[heteropennae]

... I sing.

[dreambubbly]

It helps, then? Hmmm...

[heteropennae]

Well, it helps me.

[dreambubbly]

I wish there was an ocean here, one with all the animals in it, just like home. I could sing with the whales...
