Hello?
This is Sorin, from the tent
The fortune telling tent I mean
I don't think I can meet you tonight, something's come up... I'm really very sorry, I know I said I would but
I can't
Remember to stay away from the water, all right?
Neyen Suarez
You know I was actually thinking of heading out to the beach...
What?
But you can't! You can't go near the water!! Please listen to me, don't go! Please!
Maybe
You could come hang out with me.
I can't
I'm not allowed
Please, don't go to the beach.
I'll sneak you out.
How?
Why?
What do you mean when you say you're not allowed?
...
They don't want me to
Fraternize with outsiders
Especially men
Who's they?
My
Family
So like
Anybody outside the family is an outsider?
How do they expect you to
You know
I suppose they don't...
I mean it's not like anyone's ever
...
Well anyway that's how it's always been in my family
Hold on.
Say what?
Not like anyone's ever what?
Asked you out?
Been interested?
You must be mistaken.
You know, you don't have to try so hard to be nice.
I promise I'll let you know if I have any more visions.
I'll do my best to help you, so
Don't worry
Huh?
I'm not trying hard to be anything.
Most people say I'm kind of a dick, to be honest.
They do?
You're being very nice to me
Why?
Man, people must treat you poorly.
I'm not being like, extra nice or anything.
I'm just curious and trying to get to know you
Not a crime, right?
(Just his family lol)
No, that's not a crime...
There isn't much to get to know. I just
Set up the tents and stay out of their way.
And if you mean the visions, I don't understand how they work either. They happen randomly. I try to warn people when I can but most of them don't believe me.
You seem much more interesting, to be honest...
No, that's a thing you DO. That's not YOU.
Both the tent thing and the vision thing.
Hahaha! Who, me? Maybe I am, maybe not.
When two people are totally different though, that's how it is.
Oh
What else do you want to know?
If we're so different, why...?
I like different.
You don't?
I don't know
Different isn't always
Welcomed
Yeah history doesn't side with different
Literal witch hunts and all
Are you
One of them?
Different, I mean.
Nice save.
I'm one of them. Yeah.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude
I always thought that there were
Different people living amongst us
Not only in America but everywhere
Is it offensive to ask what kind of
Abilities you have?
Why would it be rude? I asked you questions.
And it's not anything special.
You know how there are like wood witches?
I'm more of a metal one.
A metal
Witch?
Aren't witches women?
*brief horror stare at screen*
No? I mean... not all of them?
Oh
OH
Sorry my English isn't very good when it comes to terms like these
Witches can be men too?
*relieved*
Yep. I'm all man, baby.
And all witch, too.
So
So you can do real magic?
I'd love to see it...
Are you going to come meet me?
Only if we don't go anywhere near the beach or the lake!
Or a pool? 😉
No water! Please!
Just fucking with you.
I take it you're not a clubbing type.
What do you like in this town?
Oh haha
I knew that...
I think their library is quite nice! There's an older one that not many people visit. I've checked out a number of books from there but haven't had a chance to read through all of them. I'm afraid we'll leave town before I can get through them, sadly.
*SUPER excited about the library*
Never been. Not much of a reader.
You want to meet at a dusty old library?
I suppose that's not too exciting for most people...
I stay with the tents most of the time. Someone has to watch our things so
I don't really go anywhere
Hey, no
Let's go!
What? Really? But you just said
...
We don't have to go there. We can go somewhere you want to go.
Why?
It doesn't have to be where I want to go.
I want to see your special place.
"He doesn't mean THAT! English is hard!!" :blush:
I wouldn't say it's my special place but
Sure! And if you get bored, we can leave. :) We don't have to stay there forever.
I'm sure I won't be bored if you're there.
(secretly is like: 👀)
Really?
Are you sure?
I'm really truly not very interesting
But I'll try my best not to say anything boring... 😊
You really need to stop putting yourself down
Sorry, I'll try not to
I'm not used to
People
Only monsters, eh?
I wouldn't say that!
We go all over the world, you see. There isn't much time or opportunity to make many friends.
I stick to books
We do the same thing.
Move around a lot, that is. So I know what that's like.
Not easy to make any lasting connections,
just stuck with the people you're stuck with
You too? Are you with the man and the woman who came to the tent today?
Do you like traveling everywhere?
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to settle down somewhere. How do they call it?
Put down roots?
Yeah. That dude is my brother. Haha
I like traveling most of the time, honestly
But it makes it hard to figure some shit out
Figure things out? Like what?
If you don't mind my asking.
Sorry, I don't mean to pry
Like my identity. It changes up every time we move around
But who am I really?
Why? I mean who you are... why does it depend on geography?
More like it depends on the ability to actually know people other than my brother.
Your brother seemed
Um
He felt strongly about getting you out of there didn't he?
What do you do? What does a witch do?
Depends on the specialty.
I'm used mostly for
Breaking and entering
Ah
I see
Are you
Criminals?
I won't tell anyone, don't worry.
Hm... good question.
We operate outside the law, so I guess technically?
But we do it to help witches and other people like us.
What's the matter with being like you? Is someone trying to hurt you?
Literal witch hunts.
...that would explain why your aura was so dark...
What's that mean?
Dark aura?
I saw it around you
A darkness
That's why I had to find you, to warn you...
Usually a dark aura means danger or
Or death
So is it my magic you're sensing?
Or... do you think somebody's after me?
It's more like
Your fate
A little of your future
Oh.
Go figure.
Did you read my brother?
I didn't see anything from your brother or from the other woman
I only saw yours
But that doesn't mean it's a death sentence
It's just that one instance, with the water. When the time for it passes, the aura should fade...
Have you
ever stopped something like that?
Something you felt or saw?
Yes
Twice
I don't know how I did it though
I just
I stayed with them and the moment passed and the aura faded
Huh
Well I guess that changes things
Does it? How?
I thought I was definitely dead
What...
Oh
Wait
But we don't know when the time will be for this to happen
It could be tomorrow or
Or a year from now
I'm
Supposed to stay away from water that long?
You know I'm like a surfer dude right
But it's not worth dying for!
Things have happened to people
Ones who didn't listen
You really gonna have to stick around to stop it
But
I can't
We're leaving the United States soon
Over the ocean....
What do you want me to do?
Be
Be with you all the time?
Hey you're the one who said it
I didn't
...
I don't want you to die but I can't leave my family
What if we all traveled together?
Over the ocean? ;)
We can travel around the United states...
I can persuade them to extend their stay here
Good good. I wouldn't feel safe
without you.
Ah
I'm sure you don't need someone like me to
protect you but
thank you
I'll do my best to keep you safe.
:)
/Awkward smilie
Hey you'd be surprised.
Really?
I suppose everyone has a weakness somewhere...
and apparently mine's water for the time being eh
Yes
I was hoping that I might have another vision if we met up again
Maybe I can get a more definite time or place
orly
Yes?
Sorry did I say something
Weird?
Nope, just saying, we should meet up again.
It's like
destiny
Well
I suppose there's no harm in meeting
Just for a little while
Library, right?
Yep, I'll be there. Nowhere near water.
:)
You know
You're very persuasive
I'm going to take that as a compliment.
Oh
Yes
Of course it's a compliment! You're very
Good
Good?
...
Yes
Good
Um
You know, good... as a
person
Really?
That's sweet of you.
I think you got it mixed up though.
Me? I'm
Good?
You definitely have a soft heart, my dude.
I
Thank you
I can't let people die if I can prevent it...
See? That's what I mean.
But most people would do that. I'm not nicer than anyone, really
You'd be surprised, actually
Do you not meet a lot of
good people in your line of work?
hahahaha
hell
no
How do you deal with it? It must be
Awful to be surrounded by people like that
I'm not surrounded by them. Just see them a lot more than your average pal.
I suppose you have a higher purpose
Keeping others safe I mean
I thought that was your job.
I
Only do that for certain people
But you seem to have a lot more at stake than I do
Aw you really are a softy.
Don't see much of that anyMore
I'm
Going to take that as a compliment
What else could it be?
Some people think it's not a good thing
For a man
What, like it's a woman thing? Psfft
That seems to be the consensus here...
Or anywhere
Well, listen
It's bullshit
Do you also have a soft side then?
Probably. Doesn't everyone?
Probably? You don't know? :P
Hard to say about one's self, isn't it?
I don't know
I think you're
nice
Well then, I guess that makes it so. ;)
It is
It is true!
*serious*
I believe you. ;)
Does the winky face mean seriousness?
I think it means
i'm flirting with you
Flirting?
With me?
Doesn't happen often?
...no
But I thought the woman who came with you was
With you?
That
is a story for another time.
I see...
Does she travel with you?
Yep, with my brother.
who is stupidly mad in love with her, pretty sure.
Ah, and she
Doesn't love him?
I think she does.
Ah
That's
So complicated
Have you ever tried to set them up?
Hahaha! You don't know anything, I forget.
They used to date.
Ohh
That's even more complicated then...
They seemed
Angry... at you.
My brother's always mad at me.
Why?
Eh you know, brother stuff.
Actually... I do know.
My brother's always mad too. You heard him today, didn't you?
Why are older brothers always mad?
I don't know.
It's like nothing we do is right.
We should
We should run away
Really?
I'm not opposed to it.
Really?
...sometimes
I feel like I don't belong
With them
Hey, yeah! Me too...
I don't belong here with them either.
Maybe we
Belong with each other
I mean misfits like us, not
Not
In any
Odd way
And what odd way would that be?
I said
NOT in an odd way!
There's
No oddness
No
Odd
Ah.
NO oddness.
But what if there was?
That
Doesn't seem possible
Why?
Because you're
In a whole different league
You must know that already
Maybe on the outside.
(LOL OUCH)
Doesn't the outside matter?
Does it?
Not like all of it's a choice.
I thought
What are you trying to say?
Am I confusing you?
Are we having the same conversation?
I think we're having the same conversation
You're attracted to
My insides?
haha!
What a way to put it...
Um
Sorry 😳
Nah don't be
I just mean, aren't we both lonely and searching for something?
But we're stuck with family that doesn't understand
Or maybe I read the situation wrong
i know what I'm looking for
What are you looking for?
Honestly, I'm still searching.
But what are you looking for?
Someone who
sees me
The inside?
Yes
Or really even just
Any part of me
Well I see you.
What do you see when you look at me?
Loneliness.
Do you see
Darkness?
What? In you?
Don't think so.
Should I?
I don't know
I read in a book that one can only see darkness
If there's darkness inside
So I wondered...
Huh?
What does that even mean?
Like... it takes one to know one? That kind of thing?
Something like that. I'm only guessing, though.
I suppose as long as it lets me help other people, I shouldn't complain
So wait,
you're seeing darkness in me
so you think there's darkness in you?
There's something in me that lets me see the darkness in other people
But always only terrible things. Death.
It must be dark, don't you think?
you
you never see anything good?
no
never anything good
every single day?
how do you deal with it?
I don't know
It used to only be once in a while
Lately it's gotten worse
The only thing I can do is tell people but most of them think I'm out of my mind
sometimes I wonder if they're right
That kind of thing can get worse?
Does it mean you're getting more powerful?
Or.
Like whatever you get your power from is getting more powerful?
Kinda scary to think about.
...I think I'd rather not think about it...
It's not going to go away just because you stop thinking about it
I know
But
I can't do anything about it
Are you sure?
Aren't there like
cleansing rituals and stuff?
I don't know
Before today I didn't even think this was
Real
What? What was real?
My abilities
I thought I was going crazy
...are they new?
This level of detail is...
It used to only be auras, like a dark outline around certain people
When we traveled here, to this town, they became
Visions
Like with yours
I felt myself drowning
Like the water was going into my lungs, and I couldn't breathe
...it was horrible
...
This town is pretty intense, isn't it?
You know I'm joking when I do the whole "I'm heading to the beach" thing right?
I want to beat it too.
This town frightens me
I'd like to meet you soon
I'd like to
Keep you safe
Then come on! Meet me!
You
You have to help me
Escape...
I will.
We'll get out of here.
Oh i meant um
Escape from this trailer, specifically, but
But yes also
In general...
I hear the east coast is quite nice and
I've always wanted to see the statue of liberty...
Good, it's pretty far from here, which is where I wanna be.
Good, then it's a date
Plan
...
That was a
A saying they have here, you know
What? That it's a date? ;)
Yes
No
I mean yes, it's a date is a saying but it doesn't have to mean that it's a
Date
Why not?
That
Is a good question
Is it
A date?
If I say it is, is it?
If you say it is
It
Could be
Then that's what it is.
You better be ready.
Ready?
Should I
Prepare something? Is there something I need to do?
*anxious*
Lolno
I meant be ready for me to
Come break you out
Ahh
Haha yes of course
Yes I'll be ready
Um
I'm not locked in or anything, it's just that my brother sleeps in the room next to mine and he's a light sleeper
So if you could make a distraction...
Oh I'm good at those.
Consider it done.
:) thank you
There's a fountain nearby. Shall we meet there?
Ooh a fountain. How romantic.
It is?
Ah
You're
Flirting
With me
You're a quick learner ;)
I have a
Great teacher
;)
You're adorable
And you are
Special
I'm
Not sure what to think of that.....
😶
Oh no
No I meant that you're amazing and fantastic and
And special because I've never met somebody like you so
It's a good thing! :hide:
Oh well, I'll take it then!
You're still adorable.
Thank you
I
Don't think most people would say that but
Thank you
You're very sweet
This feels almost like another vision
Haha I wonder if I'll wake up soon...
What?
But I thought they were all bad.
The visions.
You're not the nightmare but
Waking up would be
The worst feeling
And you don't think you're adorable huh?
A lot of people call me
Creepy
You mentioned that... but why?
They say I stare at them
...I just
Don't talk much
They think that's weird
Well maybe they're the weird ones.
They don't got nothing interesting to say.
Oh I don't know, maybe it's me
My brother tried to teach me
Um people skills
Maybe I'm just too awkward
I wish I could be more like you
I guess it's not something teachable, is it?
No, it's not easy to learn
It's okay
Once in a while
Even someone like me can meet someone like you. :) It must've been my lucky day
Hey, hey, it was both our lucky day!
Or however... to say that...
Haha
I think you might be the adorable one
Who me?
I can safely say I haven't heard that since I was a kid. Haha!
Yes, you :)
Age has nothing to do with it...
Today was the first time I've ever been called that so
Yeah
I'm just saying I turned into kind of a prick, if you believe my brother.
And seriously? You had to be a cute kid, right?
I don't know your brother
I only know you so I think
You're completely amazing
...I was an awkward child too...
Maybe people just don't know how to appreciate you.
😊
You
Really are special
Really, truly
Thank you for saying so many kind things
You're really too much...
That... would be you!
Me? Why would that be me?
It just
Is
You're too good to be true
Haha!
Well I dare you to say that when you know me better.
I look forward to getting to know you better. :)
I don't think you're as bad as other people seem to think you are. Maybe they've misunderstood you too
Yeah maybe.
Kinda weird how we found each other huh
Maybe
It was fate
You think it's real?
It could be
I'd like to think so
The two of us meeting here, in this strange little town, it seems like fate
I mean if all this other stuff can exist, why not fate, right?
Yes. It's fate.
Maybe even the dark aura
I was meant to come here and save you from a terrible fate
Exactly...
we're here for a reason...
Although the implications kinda give me chills.
It's a good thing we won't be here long...
Next place we perform at
will be a desert
Gross.
Let's go somewhere nice.
Where have you always wanted to go?
You don't like the desert? But it's so far from any bodies of water! :P
I've always thought that Denmark would be a lovely place to visit, honestly.
And I love danishes so I've got that going for me! Haha
/awkward weird joke
That's true. Maybe we should find a nice desert.
...is there such a thing?
I guess there are worse reasons to visit a place than based on food...
There are desert resorts...
Like little pocket paradises
Yes!
There are luxury tents for people to stay in
I hate to tell you this but
we might
not have luxury money...
Haha then
We'll stay in a regular tent :) It'll be a luxury tent as long as you're there
OH? I make it luxurious?
My presence alone? :nosy:
Yes.
You would make it
Luxurious
Don't lie
it's my hair, right?
I
I think your hair is gorgeous
But
So is the rest of you
You have amazing eyes
I do?
Do
You really like them?
What?
Why would I lie about it?
Of course I do.
No no I wasn't accusing you of lying!
I just
Wanted to make sure...
Sorry
I'm not very good at this
It's okay. It's kinda cute. ;)
Ah
...
Please don't take this the wrong way but
I feel like a
A mouse
And you're the cat
Really? What makes you say that? >.>
Erm just a
Feeling...
I think it's something else
👀
What do you think it is?
If I knew I'd tell you
I'm
Not sure what THAT means!
Either!
We'll figure it out together.
I hope we'll have enough time to do that
Hey, I'm not dying as long as I stay away from water, right?
Oh yes
Yes of course
/wasn't talking about that
:) As long as you stay on dry land, you're okay!
All right then! Let's not be all fatalistic or whatever then!
Yes sir!
We'll be optimistic! And anyway if you know what the danger is, you can't fall prey to it because
You know what it is!
I'm practically immortal!
...I wouldn't go THAT far!
You still have to be careful!
Can I die any other way?
Yes! All the usual ways
I mean
You're still human
Um or a witch but I assume they're also
Human
Haha, do you think
do you think the water thing's a joke?
like the witch of the west?
I'm gonna melt!
I don't think so...
I saw deep water
The wicked witch was taken out by a bucket so... I think it has to be a large body of water
/serious
I was uhhh joking about that
Witches don't really melt in water. Hahaha!
We do burn though.
I
I
I would prefer you not to
Drown, melt or burn...
That was a joke too.
I mean, I can burn like anybody else but
I'm not going to.
Promise.
I
I'm not letting anything happen to you!
Even if I have to
To follow you
To the ends of the earth
Are you sure? Pretty sure people get tired of other people after awhile
What? Are you saying
I'd get tired of you?
Isn't that like human nature?
Does that mean
You'll get tired of me too?
Maybe.
Isn't it inevitable? :/
I suppose so...
But I don't
Think I'd feel that way about you
Really?
Even my own brother is tired of me.
Well he's your brother
His feelings for you are
Different
So what are yours?
Mine?
I
I think you're
Beautiful
And
I like you
Very much
Even though we don't know each other very well, I
Still
You're already falling for me~
I never said I
Didn't
Oh, so you already did? ;)
Yes
You've been so kind
I don't think anyone could not fall for you
But you still think I'm a cat... and you're a mouse... hmmm.
Oh that
Maybe
I'm a stupid mouse
Maybe
I don't mind
If you're the cat...
You should.
But I guess you would already know that.
I'd be okay with it, you know
If you got tired of me
I just
Want you to know that
/stupid mouse
Nobody's ever okay with that.
I'm not
Nobody
:)
That sounds
sad
It doesn't have to be...
I know I'm not like everyone else, but that could be a good thing
I'm just
happy that you noticed me at all, really. :)
Yeah well
/he has no idea what to say to that
😊
Don't feel bad
If you lose interest
Is all I'm trying to say
Maybe I won't
Maybe fate makes this different
That's a nice way of looking at it
...and anyway we're probably getting a little ahead of ourselves haha
talking about getting tired of each other when we haven't even
met
Met?
Oh, you mean like
did shit?
Yes...
We haven't held hands or
kissed
or anything
We will, when we meet up. ;)
We will?
Hold hands or...?
All of it
Oh
:blush:
I
would like that
very much
I'll show you the best time you ever had. ;)
No boasting
Haha I'll hold you to that! :nuzz:
Um
Do
you have lots of
experience?
Kinda yeah
I mean
not a lot with men
Ah
I
You know what...
I think
I'd rather experience it
And find out for myself
:)
I'll be at the fountain soon
Already there. 🙃
So I'll see you
When I seee you
💓
