canon is sondheim's company!

You - you actually think this is a good idea? Just throwing me out here into the world with no warning?

Do you want me to die? Because I might. I might die. You don't know. This kind of thing is extremely unpredictable. I might get hit by a car, or maybe drown when I'm taking a shower, or fall out of an airplane or something - anything!

... Oh god. This is terrible! What am I even supposed to be doing here?

-- Socializing?

You just want me to make friends? As in, with other people?!

I thought I was supposed to be the crazy one here! Just leave me here to die, why don't you.

You could die of a stroke due to stressing out about things, too.

[He's making that up.]

[woodscommaelle]

Woah, woah. Don't you think you're being a little dramatic?

And that coming from me is saying something.

[crazyamy]

-- Really?

Oh no. Oh no. This is just one more thing I have to worry about now!

Deep breaths, Amy. Deep breaths. [ a loud exhale as she visibly tries to calm herself. ]

Okay. Okay. I'm better. I think I'm better.

excited screaming because elle woods!!!

[crazyamy]

I have absolutely zero time to be dramatic right now, because all I can do is worry about running around here like a crazy person!

:D

[woodscommaelle]

Honey, I'm pretty sure that's kind of the definition of dramatic.

[crazyamy]

Well, I --

[ huff. ]

This is a very dramatic situation.

[xochipilli_cursed]

No. You're probably not.

There are a lot worse things out there than socializing, though.

[crazyamy]

Yeah, like train crashes and earthquakes and animal extinction and losing a sock in the dryer and --

The world is absolutely terrible!

[xochipilli_cursed]

See? Socializing is the least of your worries.

[soalive]

You know, I just so happen to have it on good authority that dying isn't so bad in the end.

[woodscommaelle]

Are you kidding? No, no. This is an amazing opportunity. You just need to know how to take advantage of it.

[crazyamy]

Great. Spectacular. I might as well just go run into some heavy traffic while I still can.

... Wait. Wait. You have it on good authority? What is that even supposed to mean?

[crazyamy]

[ she covers her face with her hands, sighs deeply, and then drops them back to her sides. ]

This is just terrible. Absolutely terrible. All of it.

How do you deal?

[crazyamy]

An amazing opportunity. Right...

Well, I.

Could certainly use some pointers.

Maybe.

[soalive]

[ well, here's the rub - ] What can I say? Around here, you meet the darnedest people. [ or you interact with troublemaking ghosts who sometimes stretch the truth. c'est la vie, amy. ]

[crazyamy]

[ haunting the fuck out of crazy people is kind of your niche, huh, gabriel? ]

You're starting to make me pretty darn nervous, mister. [ as if she's not already skittish to the point of a breakdown already. ]

[xochipilli_cursed]

You don't want to hear how I deal. You want someone to explain how you could find a way to deal.

I can't help you there. I don't even sweat the big stuff.

[crazyamy]

Well, I -- [ a sigh. she's all but given up. ]

Not even the big stuff? That just can't be true. That's not even human. Even my friend Bobby, who is probably the most infuriatingly relaxed person I've ever freaks out about some stuff, even if he doesn't say it. Jeez.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Why bother worrying about the things I can't change or control, when there's plenty of stuff I can?

[woodscommaelle]

Lucky for you, I can help you with that.

[crazyamy]

I certainly envy your ability to think that way, that's for sure.

[crazyamy]

You could? But, I --

[ wait. did she just. did she just -- ]

Did I just make a friend?!

[xochipilli_cursed]

Maybe it's just a side effect of a tragic life.

Still, I don't think I would trade you.

[woodscommaelle]

Oh, sweetie. You really don't get out much, do you?

[crazyamy]

Well --

[ goodness, this conversation is taking a dark turn. now, she will force herself to smile as she tries to perk up. ]

Being like this does have some perks! I mean, my apartment is always spotless and I'm super nitpicky at work so everything always looks really good and I'd - like to think that it makes me a far better worker!
