Minnie ( @parkmin--seo​ )

So maybe ‘looking like shit’ was the understatement of the century but at this point Ches doesn’t really care, which she supposed, given how much time she spent in the mirror on an average day trying to create the facade of having it together, was a neon sign of just how awful things were. “I’m fine, just pretend you don’t notice - please?” She begs Minnie, barely even looking at the girl as she tries to find something from the vending machine. And when the item gets stuck she just sighs, shaking her head and glancing over to her friend. “Don’t suppose you’ve done any grocery shopping since we’ve got here? That was dinner.” And breakfast, and lunch, for that matter, but she didn’t want to mention that either. “Sorry, I’m just- this weekend.. are you okay?” She wasn’t the only one in the hot seat after her vote, undoubtedly. Balo was going easiest on her, because it was Ches, and she knew that. Which meant she struggled trying to guess what everyone else on that side of the room who cared for her were going through currently. And it was better, right? To shift the subject on Minnie instead of the fact she probably looked like she crawled out of the depths of hell at the moment.

Balo nods in agreement with Minnie’s words, “stepping back to breathe is important. Van Gogh may have created more than 2,000 pieces in ten years, but at what cost?” There was a reason the struggling artist wasn’t something to admire, despite how the media tried to spin it. The constant pressure to create artists put on themselves could be damaging, and yet when it came down to it, she likely would struggle with the thought she wasn’t designing enough quickly enough. “I know when you’re working for other people, there’s a time frame things need to be done, but, you have all the time in the world on this sketch.” And if there was time to take it easy, there was no harm in doing so. “We do! Not every day has to be sunshine and rainbows, and that’s okay. At least, Jack and Leo keep telling me it’s okay.” Which, while it was hard to believe at times, she was trying her best to at least try to listen to them instead of dismissing the idea immediately. “If you want to meet Reese when we get back to Lake George, I wouldn’t mind introducing you! But you would have to promise not to die, I’d miss you way too much!” She offers, she didn’t see the harm in letting Minnie meet him. She already knew her friend wouldn’t do anything that’d get him hurt, or taken away from them, and there was an underlying trust here - it seemed safe enough to her. “Raccoon videos are so cute! Did you see that Youtube channel that uploads raccoon feedings three times a day? It’s so wholesome.” And Balo was more than happy to pass on the link to it if she hadn’t found it by now. “I know! Honestly, I never expected this year would go like this, and while it hasn’t all been bad-” She interrupts herself, nodding slowly when she mentions what happened to Sav reminded her of prom. “I just really hope Sav’s okay. Do you, need anything, Minnie? Is that a bad question to ask? I’m so sorry.” After all, that was probably why Minnie had been drinking. To escape this, and how she was feeling.

“Minnie Mouse! How are you doing?” Ches skips up to her with a massive grin. After he told her that he was planning on asking her out, she’d been eagerly waiting for it to appear like the two were finally together so she could celebrate two people she absolutely adored together. She was pretty sure after the decades dance, it was a safe question to ask now. “You looked so cute at the dance! Did you have a fun time with Chris?”

At this point it was starting to bother her that people were noticing just how upset she actually was, and when Minnie comes over to pull her into a hug Balo can’t help but wonder if she’s doing it again. If her resting face was yet again just as sad as she currently felt, still, she hugs the girl back tightly. “Hey! How are you doing today? I’ve missed you lately, I’ve been busy with class and stuff. How are you enjoying France?” She tries to default back into the Balo everyone expected as she talks, it was easier that way. People didn’t seem to worry when she did it. “It’s really beautiful, right?”

“Minnie!” Balo squeals when she sees the girl, dashing over to her to see what she was up to. “How are you doing? I feel like it’s been ages.” Sure it’d only been since the graduation weekend but that already felt like a century ago to her given how much stuff had been happening at Luxor between everyone wrapping their heads around everything that occurred over the bonfire and the days following. "I'm really glad you're staying this summer, honestly, I'd be way less fun without you." She confesses, while she could understand why Minnie would want to go home, her mom seemed really nice, it was nice having friends around.

Ches wasn’t even sure if anyone actually noticed she left or if they had just assumed she had locked herself away to pack the last minutes or something. And she actually wasn’t sure she wanted to tell Minnie what she’d done, where she’d gone, who she had talked to in Oregon. What would she even say? “Hey, do you need any help packing? I finished mine before we left for New York, so I wouldn’t mind if you’d like an extra set of hands.” She offers, deciding later was a better time to approach the subject.

Balo wasn’t sure if she was actually allowed to approach Minnie, or if the girl would currently mind company after what occurred the night before, but she wanted to check on her and try to make sure she was okay. Prom had been awful, but the secrets that were revealed made her heartache even more. “Hey, is it okay if I sit?” She gestured to the spot next to her, still not quite sure what she was supposed to say. “You know, the dresses you made were gorgeous.” As soon as the words are out of her mouth, she’s already waiting to see if she messed up. “And I get it, if you don’t want to talk, or if I’m doing this all wrong, but I... I guess I know what happened with us was different - I mean mine’s an eating disorder, you know that already, but if you ever feel like talking or just going to grab a pretzel at the mall or something...” She trails off, realizing she probably was bombing this completely. “I just, what I’m really trying to say is, I know what it’s like having everyone knowing... and I just, I don’t ever want anyone to feel as scared or alone as I did during my intervention.” The entire school did, if they had deemed her worth paying attention to, her intervention was public, how ill she had gotten had been noticeable even to the naked eye. “I’m sorry. I probably shouldn’t be...” sticking her foot in her mouth, bothering Minnie at the worst part in her life in her attempts to help, be here. The ways to end the sentence just went on and on in her thoughts, so she simply just didn’t.
