you can just take them off when you don't need them

ii bet you've got your hand wrapped around your lonely, neglected bulge riight now and the only fanta2y you've got ii2 the one where ii'm 2uckiing iit.
only you know the truth ii2 ii'd be happy two.

[unexculpable]

It's not hard to learn. What job did they give you anyway?

[thekidsare0kay]

that'2 what people keep 2ayiing.
ii'm 2uppo2ed two clean the pool!

[unexculpable]

Sorry, I'd help if I could, but I'm not much of a swimmer.

[thekidsare0kay]

iit'2 okay, ed, thii2 giirl liink ii2 goiing two teach me.

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

You never learned to swim?

[thekidsare0kay]

iit'2 not liike iit'2 that common for lowblood2 liike me two 2wiim.
ii liived iin the ciity, far a2 possiible from the ocean.
ii heard the ocean2 are full of mon2ter2.
and well, iit'2 defiiniitely full of 2ea troll2.

[edes-virag.livejournal.com]

So because you're a low blood you weren't allowed in the ocean?

That's...the worst kind of discrimination I've ever heard of. It's basic survival for some of us bordering large bodies of water.

[thekidsare0kay]

iit'2 not that ii'm not allowed or anythiing.
but iit'2 not our natural habiitat.
the 2ea troll2 have giill2, 2o they can 2urviive iin the water and they're dangerou2 two u2.
anyway, iit never affected my liife untiil twoday.

[knightofmind.livejournal.com]

[thekidsare0kay]

ii thiink ii'd be okay wiith iit iif iit weren't for the criippliing fear of drowniing.
maybe that'll go away when ii get better at thii2 2wiimmiing thiing.
