that feeling when you're in the middle of moving house and you barely even check whatsapp because you're too braindead and tired from being an adult™️ and then you get an email notifying you that some minor who hasn't realized that when their birthday comes they'll vote in the elections (or be eligible to anyway) and therefore is almost an adult leaving some absolutely nonsensical answer to a post from like three years ago and then tumblr doesn't even let me reply because for some reason the answer won't show on my dash (did the algorythm think it was too hostile? idk but lol)
kid I can't possibly muster up the brain power to actually cp that stupid email after I spent the entire day boxing stuff up but if you're reading here: fictional stuff in general is not about you, you don't even know wtf victim blaming means because if I say a 17yo as almost an adult can generally fuck most people they like especially if it's a fling I'm not blaming them for anything except having fun, I don't even know you and no one says *you* have to date anyone above your age if you don't want to like sorry you're not the main character in the universe's existence
also at 17yo I'd have found the idea of dating anyone below 16yo absolutely unacceptable because they all looked like immature kids to me and I'd have found nothing wrong with fooling around with someone a few years older, am I victim blaming 17yo me now?

> Cae + RL : Talk about Anons
(( First the “tell the truth” anon and RL’s problems with Nadaya, and then a delightful mid-sentence segue into kidnapping alt!Sugary ))
Yesterday
caepaecaesurae
Is your anon ovwer yet?
carnivalsorphans
finally :o(
caepaecaesurae
For wvhat it's wvorth, I gavwe him permission to inform you himself, because I think it wvill get the last vwestiges of upset out of his system, but he's agreed not to do anything.
And you are publicly, openly forgivwen.
Don't let anyone harsh you about this one anymore.
carnivalsorphans
thanks.
that's an awkward thing to need for my mental health
caepaecaesurae
Sorry I didn't out this one before nowv, to try and clear it up.
caepaecaesurae
It seemed safer to leavwe it buried.
carnivalsorphans
yeah :o(
i assumed you were keepin it for blackmail, not gonna lie
to keep me in line, just in case
caepaecaesurae
.. Not unless you started tormenting people, honestly.
carnivalsorphans
which, ya know, fair
i've tormented very few people. none you care about!
caepaecaesurae
I'm not as absentminded as sugary, but I'm absentminded enough that I used to keep journals so I wvouldn't miss things.
carnivalsorphans
hahaha
i'm pretty absentminded when my paranoia gives me peace
caepaecaesurae
Perhaps that's the only difference betwveen us.
I'm a fewv steps closer to peace.
carnivalsorphans
there's probably plenty of other differences.
caepaecaesurae
Hair color
carnivalsorphans
hahahahaha yeah.
everyone knows i regularly think about even my own moirail's torture now so like......
caepaecaesurae
WVell... As long as it stays in the imagination.
carnivalsorphans
.... i dunno. it ain't just you. in case you were ever wondering.
caepaecaesurae
That does sooth a bit.
I'vwe... met trolls wvhere it WVas just me.
carnivalsorphans
you're like. higher on the list than some people. but you're higher on the 'keep safe' list than most people too so it all balances out.
caepaecaesurae
I wvish you the best of luck on the reputation war
And in fighting the inner demons that you seem to have mostly in check.
carnivalsorphans
i don't really care about my rep if i don't die, at this point.
no higher authority to report my terrible nature to. no overarching consequence that will ruin everything centuries of work has tried to bring about.
we won. so i just worry bout the one thing.
caepaecaesurae
Life is easier wvith a better reputation, but you'vwe a point.
I still wvish you luck.
carnivalsorphans
he seems less mad.
caepaecaesurae
I let him read it. The prodding really is vwery subtle on a re-read, wvithout the emotions of the moment avwailable to peruse.
carnivalsorphans
yeah cuz i'm good at stuff
if i was better at faking i probably coulda gotten away with it. luckily for us all, psii is so stupid i never had to get that much better.
caepaecaesurae
WVe all must havwe our skills.
carnivalsorphans
anyway, new sugary. wanna collab on figuring out if she's evil or not
caepaecaesurae
You possibly could havwe. If you'd succeeded, I wvould havwe wvithdrawvn from your rebellion efforts and likely not been on healing duty that night.
But yes, I'd lovwe to collaborate on that.
I'm puzzled, she's too put together.
carnivalsorphans
i asked her for a question off. she said it sounded perfectly fair.
which...... doesn't sound like her somehow.
carnivalsorphans
it either sounds like she's actually worried about stuff bein fair or is halfway decent at seemin good when she ain't. and i'm not sure which...
carnivalsorphans
> Ringleader, too, is not good at pronouns.
carnivalsorphans
... yeah i'm gonna go with the latter. i asked her about her quads. and she shot back with what quads i have filled and who they are. i dunno why, but that just seems like her lookin for someone to target
caepaecaesurae
Same, don't like howv she puts things.
Sugary entrusted me wvith a wvay to entrap her direct alternates if they should provwe problematic, and I'm debating using it.
carnivalsorphans
i know about that, she told me to hunt you down if you ever misused it.
this seems like a fair use though, if it ends up bein necessary.
caepaecaesurae
Pff. Nice to knowv she has a solid set of countermeasures.
carnivalsorphans
... she calculates.
that's what it is.
caepaecaesurae
Aye, it is.
carnivalsorphans
she said she's assessing everything.
caepaecaesurae
And she cares only for the vwalue of things in material terms to her.
carnivalsorphans
yeah. which... not that far off from what sugary used to do, but for her it was decadence. for this one it's... tools.
caepaecaesurae
If I do attempt to enrap her, it's likely to be under the guise of an invwitation to dinner.
Or a newv dwvelling or something else easily fabricated.
carnivalsorphans
if you need a place that ain't prosperity...
hahahaha holy shit we got another cell around here.
caepaecaesurae
I'm afraid the entrapment area is already constructed, in a third party univwerse. Arlequin and I bought Chickens there once.
carnivalsorphans
aww! that's cute
caepaecaesurae
Is there?
carnivalsorphans
yeah. next to enforcer's.
caepaecaesurae
I wvould be somewvhat concerned if the cell wvas rated to contain her
It wvould imply someone other than herself and I knewv the wvay to do that.
carnivalsorphans
... she didn't tell me bout specifics of her containment needs, just that you knew em.
caepaecaesurae
Aye, she's being careful.
Can you ask the cell maker if they are rated for her?
carnivalsorphans
yeah.
yeah i'll ask tarrat.
carnivalsorphans
oh shit looks like she's not much for dinner
caepaecaesurae
I may havwe to try less subtle methods of luring or abduction, it wvill be fine.
carnivalsorphans
how does 'i would love to please sugary when she gets back please turn me into a trickster' sound as a method of luring
carnivalsorphans
from me, of course
caepaecaesurae
I'm considering teleporting to her, grabbing her, and teleporting her to the other place, I'm just not sure if I'm faster on the drawv than she is.
I can teleport out, she can't.
carnivalsorphans
mmmm you should be careful as shit.
caepaecaesurae
Aye
carnivalsorphans
i'm still wantin to do a 'lure' sorta thing, i don't mind bein bait.
caepaecaesurae
I'll need to disguise the place wve lure her into. She wvon't be able to tell it's a trap until it closes.
Literally closes.
carnivalsorphans
's important.
caepaecaesurae
I can disguise my cell as any kind of room or hivwe you like.
carnivalsorphans
still workin on establishin trust enough. i'm not sure how viable it is, if you can figure somethin safer i'm totally fuckin good with it
caepaecaesurae
Tell me howv to disguise it, I'll need time.
carnivalsorphans
uhhhhhhhhhh fuck. probably a sitting room is as good as anythin, until i know more
real colorful, somethin between church and trickster.
carnivalsorphans
oh!
tarrat says the cell's sugar proof
carnivalsorphans
and also around enforcer so neither of them'd have to be bored. win win hahahahaha.
caepaecaesurae
Time players...
carnivalsorphans
;o) ;o) ;o)
caepaecaesurae
Fair enough. I could disguise that cell into a sitting room, put a transport pad in it, and take it out wvith me.
caepaecaesurae
I'll.. coordinate wvith him about that.
carnivalsorphans
or, vel/tarrat can put a transport pad in and destroy it on the way out.
.... honestly. ...... should probably ask wicked if more people is rude
to him
caepaecaesurae
I suspect time is not long, before she starts being antisocial.
WVe should consider haste.
carnivalsorphans
i'm askin bout the staff
caepaecaesurae
To be entirely honest, I'm not sure I can conceivwe of myself as a trickster, wvhich might make me immune.
carnivalsorphans
hahahahahahahaha
caepaecaesurae
I'm not terribly wvorried about it. I havwe quadrants to sit on me if anything goes awvry.
carnivalsorphans
good.
... i'm. a little more worried about it. i promised sugary i wouldn't do what valor did, and this is skirtin that line pretty damn close
caepaecaesurae
WVhat did he do?
carnivalsorphans
oh gods, did you not catch that?
caepaecaesurae
Oh, wvait. Tossing yourself into the line of fire?
carnivalsorphans
yeah!
that shit.
caepaecaesurae
No, I caught the edge, it's just been a bit.
carnivalsorphans
the shit that probably prompted her to give you a safety measure
caepaecaesurae
Aye, it wvas around then.
caepaecaesurae
All the more reason to get this done soon, before he hears about it.
And havwe her somewvhere he can vwisit and pawv at the glass.
carnivalsorphans
gods i fuckin know right
caepaecaesurae
...Gods, Enforcer and Valor do not need to meet.
carnivalsorphans
hahahahahahahahah are you sure
another highblood who's also a vantas
might be good for him ;o)
caepaecaesurae
I havwe a headache already.
carnivalsorphans
good thing you don't gotta deal with it too much....
caepaecaesurae
I'll try to keep complaining to a minimum. Anywvays, I'm wvith Tarrat and wve're wvorking on things.
caepaecaesurae
He's telling me howv to set up the block, you focus on your part.
carnivalsorphans
... you agree that she's best contained, considerin the potential she's got?
caepaecaesurae
I havwe a bad feeling, and I trust my gut.
She *could* be fine -- but her immediate response to a request to behavwe, wvith bribery, wvas "Mmmm no"
carnivalsorphans
i'm just about to the point of bein ready.
caepaecaesurae
If wve contain her successfully, it harms little except her vwacation.
carnivalsorphans
iiii might wind up trickster, please fix it if i do.
.... we got an escape method planned to be quick and easy for me
caepaecaesurae
If that happens, I'll showv up to take you to the Other cell, wvhere I wvill fix you.
carnivalsorphans
hot.
caepaecaesurae
There's going to be a transport pad in the room. It wvill disable the moment she is alone in that room. It doesn't need coordinates typed in.
carnivalsorphans
oh hot
you're a damn gem
carnivalsorphans
trap set, time to be bait
send me coords for the cell
caepaecaesurae
> coords
Thank you for your part in this vwenture, chief.
carnivalsorphans
you bet!
sugary can hit me for this later
caepaecaesurae
To be honest I think she'll kiss you.
carnivalsorphans
gay
caepaecaesurae
Hey, just a guess
carnivalsorphans
we'll see. i sent her the coords, i'm all settled and ready to be a loving matesprit for long enough for her to chill in case she's suspicious
nice decorating
caepaecaesurae
I'm about fivwe feet awvay, armed and armored, and out of line of sight.
To your left from the chair.
Fivwe feet from the edge of the wvall, excuse me.
Other side of it.
carnivalsorphans
hot
