[ Before bolting to get some fresh air and take a rejuvenating flight, Riley reads over Steve's message. Frankly, she should've sent something in response, but there's a lot to work through. To her, it'd just been yesterday when Atem and Aunamee of all people pulled her from the treant.

So, after a full day out, she sits back down and reads it all over again. ]

I'm up. Sorry for not messaging back sooner but I had to stretch my wings. Giorno got me a little more up to speed.

I'll hear out your idea but I am NOT attending any dances without a very good reason.

Sorry for crashing. I hope I didn't worry you too much.




But you seriously need to leave more detail if this ever happens again. A business owner?? A mermaid?! How?! Are these related?!!!

[ ...After everything she's still Riley. ]

[hairday]

[ Well, in a way... this makes it easier to put the fact that she was a coma patient just yesterday behind them. ]

WOW, ok
i'm not thorough enough, but you had time to talk to giovanna?

if you were really dying to know more, then you also had time to come find me
WAY easier to elaborate that way instead of leaving you some giant essay

but i forgive you

i'm just glad you're awake

i was starting to wonder if you were gonna need physical therapy by the time you snapped out of it

[isawallflower]

First of all! I just ran into Giorno, okay. He thought I'd be hungry after all of that. Yes I COULD HAVE gone to see you, but apparently you're a business owner now!
How was I to know if you'd be home?

Don't even jokes about physical therapy. I feel a little off but it really is like I just took a really long sleep.

[hairday]

riley, riley, riley

[ Tut-tut! ]

that's the beauty of being a business owner
i get to decide my own hours

you're speaking to the shelter's new top dog

[isawallflower]

YOU run Poundmates now?
What happened to Mr. Majima?

[hairday]

[ "Run" is a loose term, but... yes. ]

just gone all of a sudden, like what happened with cers
his hubby, too

angel also inherited their cat and she's probably gonna be moving into 805 with me soon

[isawallflower]

Oh my god.
She's moving in with you??
When did that happen?

[hairday]

this morning
but i've been telling her she should give the 38-8 lifestyle a shot for months

you two are friends, right?

[isawallflower]

Yes?
Yes, I think so. It's complicated.

I knew you were friends but I didn't think it was move in together levels of friends.

[hairday]

likewise, it's complicated

you're NOT gonna tell her i told you this, but she's basically been living like a story book princess
spending all day in a castle because of some weird shit with her dad

so just, you know
maybe you can help me make her feel welcome
have some girl nights

[isawallflower]

I know, sort of. At least I know a bit about her father? We never really talked about it a lot.
It felt too personal.

[ Too personal for Angel, or for Riley? ...That's a good question. She doesn't have an answer. ]

I can try.
I'm gonna have to talk to her sometime, I guess.

[hairday]

[ "I guess." ]

you sound kinda hesitant

[isawallflower]

I'm VERY hesitant!
I told you it's complicated. We had a bit of a disagreement.

But I saw her in those dreams and it was weird there so
I do want to talk with her.
It's just weird.

[hairday]

just making sure i don't have to moderate
i said girl night, not girl fight

[isawallflower]

Don’t be gross, Steve.
I’m a big girl, I can talk to her.

[hairday]

...was that gross??






oh crap
so, another thing i just remembered
you know how i said i was a mermaid???
well,
she's a fairy
AND atem's a snake

[ This infodump is out of control. ]

[isawallflower]

What?! All of you???
I was out for two weeks, but it's like it was two years!!! Did all of you plan this???



and yes, "girl fight" is an exploitative and objectifying way that guys describe two women who have any kind of trouble between them, so don't use it again!

[hairday]

nope, we all just happened to talk to mana on practically the same day
there was a lot of double taking

anyway, uh
sorry

"girl's night" is okay though?

[isawallflower]

"Girl's night" is more than acceptable, yes.

Okay, new very related question to all of you deciding to do a big monster change:
Why?

[hairday]

pretty sure those two got pranked

as for me...
YOU gave me the idea, remember?

[isawallflower]

Oh


Well I didn't really realize you'd taken it to heart.
Do you like it?

[hairday]

yes and no

so far this arrangement's kinda costed me my ability to sit in chairs like a normal person
when i'm in the water, though?
it feels great

haven't been back to the ocean yet, but i've got plans :)
i am SO ready for the summer

[isawallflower]

Only here does preparing for the summer mean becoming a literal mermaid.
Merman?


So, does this mean you have a fish tail?? All the time, not just in water?

[hairday]

yeah, like maya
it's not very practical

while you were out enjoying yourself, it almost destroyed a convenience store
i bought so many snacks to make it up to the clerk

[isawallflower]

Oh my gosh, I told you!! I had to stretch my wings!!!
Are you really that put out that I didn't come and see you immediately?

To make it up to you, I'll give you some lessons. Tails aren't like wings, but the same principle applies, because now you have a new appendage to keep track of. :p
