You know what, I am so sick of this. Completely sick of this!! And look at me, repeating myself and using multiple exclamation points (two!) like a rebel. Because I am a rebel!

I'm tired of all these embarrassing personal incidents. When they aren't embarrassing, they're deeply horrifying and disturbing. I just want regular old test taking anxiety again! I want worrying about whether Anya is going to ask Giles if he has a new orgasm friend yet in public! And all that demon stuff, even that was familiar.

But here it's like, oh, here's that troll kid I'm friends with and he got his arm torn off. Here's me turning myself into a troll and going creepy stalker over Aradia. (Which by the way, oh Goddess am I sorry for and eternally mortified about.) Or here's me picking up the bloody scraps of the clothes of the double of someone I'm friends with!

And don't tell me I'm using too many of's there, I told you I'm a rebel today! I just want my test taking anxiety back, darn it. I'd even take worrying over when I'm going back to college, and that was a lot of worrying.

... Okay, whining done. End whining. In other news, who's still having wacky collar-induced sickness and power-tampering shenanigans? Cause frankly I'm finding this really worrying and I want to get to the bottom of this.

yes the shenanigans are still in place
and i apologise now if i or any of my clones end up damaging anything of yours
or if they all start approaching you and getting things all confused

and dont be mortified
these things happen
its actually kind of funny when i look back

[guiltapalooza]

Your clones? Why clones, what is going on with clones?

Funny for you, maybe. Do you know how long it took me to turn back? I think my nails are still a little yellow and claw-y. I don't want to have claws!

[verymuchalive]

time clones
my powers are going a little crazy right now so they keep showing up
and then their powers go wrong and even more show up and before we know it theres a tower full of aradias

im sure theyll be gone soon
and then you can join me in the finding this funny corner

[guiltapalooza]

Oh, time clones. Right, okay. Are you having other side effects? Not that that isn't enough, but I heard some people are getting sick.

Well, it might just all be in my head, I couldn't say. I think I'm getting a little neurotic. It might take me a while to join you in that corner, though I want to, I really do!

[verymuchalive]

well
i feel kind of
weird
sort of like i did when i was a ghost
only not obviously

i will save you a seat for when youre ready

[guiltapalooza]

Oh, boy. That sounds like fun. I hope it all wears off soon-- this must be really confusing for you.

Thanks, Aradia. You're really good at this friend thing. Putting me to shame over here.

[verymuchalive]

a little
mostly its that im not in control of whats happening
that doesnt normally happen when it comes to time

what? no!
youre a wonderful friend willow

[guiltapalooza]

I can definitely imagine that you must normally be in control. Is it really terrible for all of the clones? Since they have to... you know?

Thanks for the support, but I was just teasing you. You really are a good friend, though.

[verymuchalive]

i think they know
but i dont think that makes it any better
and the whole god tier thing makes it complicated

i know
but it doesnt hurt to say it anyway

[guiltapalooza]

I was sorta thinking it would make it worse, personally. A lot worse. How does that make it complicated?

Oh! Yes. In that case, I am all about the extraneous friendship affirmations. You can initiate one any time, Aradia. I'll be there.

[verymuchalive]

theyre used to it
only the last time i really had to use them i wasnt god tier so the whole conditional immortality thing wasnt an issue
which
yeah thats how its complicated

oh!
we should have a friendship affirmation party once this is done!
and see if we cant track down our mysterious roomie while were at it

[guiltapalooza]

Ohhhh. Oh, yeah, that is a doozy of complicated. But I bet the tower won't let anything happen that'll endanger the stability of its existence, so something will probably happen that will balance it all out.

A friendship affirmation party? Those are some fantastic words all in a row like that. I've actually met our mysterious roomie once when she first got here, and she seemed pretty nice, but I haven't seen her since. So tracking down might definitely be in order, at least so she can get an invite to said party.

[verymuchalive]

i hope youre right
pretty sure having this many of me around for too long couldnt be good

you think so?
well okay!
well make this a thing somehow!

[guiltapalooza]

Yeah, I like you and all, but this is kind of an excessive amount of you. No offense. More than one of any version of someone is excessive in my opinion. And also tends to end badly.

The tower needs some cheering up, pronto! We can have movies and baked goods and dumb party games, and I'll pretend to tell people's fortune except not really because I'm crummy at divination. We can put things together and make an invitation on the network once this latest thing is over with.

[verymuchalive]

dont worry
i think this is excessive amounts of me too

oh well maybe terezi could help out!
shes a seer so who knows
and youll have to teach me these games so i can practice!

[guiltapalooza]

It is kind of a lot.

I don't think I've met her. But I will teach absolutely anyone that wants to learn these party games, and I will even skip the humiliating ones. Cause I'm nice like that.

[verymuchalive]

yay!
this is going to be so much fun!

[guiltapalooza]

And we could all use some fun right now, I think!

I'm glad you had this idea. Or I did? We both did.

[verymuchalive]

it was a joint decision because we are just this good at the roomie thing

[guiltapalooza]

All the roomies are jealous of our skill at this. But if they ask, maybe we can graciously condescend to give them lessons on how to be as fantastic at it as us.

[verymuchalive]

maybe
but only if they ask nicely

[guiltapalooza]

Right. Only nicely.

So I'll let you know when it's time to set everything up for the party, okay?

[verymuchalive]

got it
ill just try and keep these other mes in check in the meantime
