Hello,

May I bother you with a question for a moment? I recall previously you had offered to help me in understanding things about this world. If that offer is no longer on the table, however, please disregard.

[queenofseers]

It’s still on the table. I might come in and out, I’m kind of busy, but I’m here.

[ Well, that’s partially because she’s been feeling especially tired, but no one can know that. ]

What’s going on?

[the next message comes with an attachment: a picture of Archie wearing glittering concealer and smoky eye shadow. #justarchiethings]

Is this what you would consider normal? For here?

[ Well this is a weird meme, she-

Hm.

Hmmmmmmm. ]

[ Hmmmmmmm.

How does she respond to this. ]

I mean, it's not the most societally beloved thing, but fuck that. It's fine, although I know the guy, and I've never seen him wearing that. Why exactly do you have this?

[adamantlyardent]

When my housemate was suffering a severe chemical reaction, he kicked down the front door, barged in, then eventually opted to taking my makeup bag (which I was opting to discard) and putting things on his face.

[queenofseers]

Wait, go back, what? Why was your housemate having a chemical reaction? How did Archie putting on makeup help? What the fuck happened?

[adamantlyardent]

Do not take this the wrong way, but I'd rather not get into the details. It's embarrassing enough. And I don't think the context matters in this case, as my question is more about the end result and just how shameless he was about it.

No one is currently injured or dead, if you must know.

[queenofseers]

Thank fuck, I guess.

But, sure, it's uncommon but normal. I have no idea why Archie would be doing in those circumstances, but it's not like something in reality just fundamentally shifted.

[adamantlyardent]

So I'm out of line in calling it weird? I see. Noted.

[queenofseers]

I mean, the circumstances you're saying he put it on in are extremely weird. I can't get any more context? Was it some sort of joke?

[adamantlyardent]

Only if one considers my entire life here a huge joke, then perhaps yes. But as I said: I'd rather not get into it and relive it so soon.

[queenofseers]

Now you're implying it was traumatizing.

[adamantlyardent]

For me, yes.
But don't worry -- your friends are fine.

[queenofseers]

Except for Archie having a spontaneous make-up breakdown, apparently.

[adamantlyardent]

You said that was normal. It's not?

[queenofseers]

Well, not in the circumstances, the more you implied about it. Unless there’s something I don’t know about, here.
