Muse is displeased with her current emotional state of being

[diana_abel]

Okay, chiquitita.

That's it. Enough is enough. Either fix me or drop me. But neither of us are having fun with the emo angst. I'm supposed to be your happy place, remember? "She throws herself at the world and expects the world to catch her. And if it doesn't, she grows wings."

Remember? You keep recycling the damn quote.

So give me some wings already.

And no Red Bull jokes, please.

Peace and love,

Diana "so not the Cainite messiah" Abel

Hey.

[diana_abel]

Peeta!!!

[frostyoutodeath]

Diana.

It's been a long time.

[diana_abel]

Omigod.

[Brace yourself, breadboy, you're getting glomped.]

[frostyoutodeath]

It's great to see—

[ The glomp may have cut off his air, momentarily. But he hugs her back, firmly. ]

you too.

[diana_abel]

Dude! I have missed you so much.

[frostyoutodeath]

I've missed you too. Believe me.

It's been a very long time since I've come up for air.

[ Yeah actually, he's still hugging her. He hasn't so much as spoken to a soul since he disappeared. ]

[diana_abel]

[Dude, she will hug you as long as you want.]

Please tell me you're okay. Please, please, please.

[frostyoutodeath]

I'm okay.

[ Peeta smiled. Smiling always came naturally to him. ]

You know me.

[ And he wasn't being false about it. Kid bounces back. ]

[nolongerhollow]

What is going on, young one? My fellow Elder and I are somewhat concerned. Do you require assistance?

[diana_abel]

I don't get called "young one" too often, daddio. Not since I broke triple digits.

[nolongerhollow]

Well, pardon me for being an avuncular old fart. But my headmate is about...ugh, something ridiculous. He's from ancient Greece. For the record, my name is Vlad, these days, and I'll call you by your name if you give it.

At any rate, eternity when you're not having fun is torture. We both know that. And we're both the broody sort when it comes to younger vampires. We have been discussing it with our mun and wonder if one of us may be of assistance to you, and perhaps some of your companions?

For the record, he is the tender one. I? [His eyes twinkle.] I'm the fun one.

[diana_abel]

...Vlad.

[Give her a second to suppress a few giggles.]

I'm Diana. Diana Abel. As in "Caine and dot, dot, dot..." I used to be the fun one over this way.

[nolongerhollow]

Whaaat? It is my name! And Vladislaus is such a mouthful at times. [Yeah, yeah, he knows. He can take it.]

Everyone has their dark times. I am far from a fount of laughter at times even now that I have my heart. But when it gets extended it is exhausting for everyone. Once I needed to lose a set of memories before I could properly bounce back.

[diana_abel]

Yeah, the mun monster tried that. Apparently my emotional state of being is way too stubborn.

[nolongerhollow]

Hmmmmmm. What is the trouble? Past things? Current idiots? If you do not mind my asking, that is.

[diana_abel]

Past demons.

And love.

[undermyfeet]

Hey, growing wings isn't as easy as it sounds. In fact, usually it fucking hurts.

[he would know. he has them. but let's pretend that he's being metaphorical and wise behind his seventeen years for a second.]

[diana_abel]

Um...metaphor?

[undermyfeet]

Yeah. I'm going with it.

[sort of.]

Some birds don't even make it out of the nest. In order to learn to fly you gotta learn to fall too.

[diana_abel]

I'll buy that. But I've been falling for about two hundred years. It gets old real fast, yanno?

[undermyfeet]

If it's been two hundred years, why are you still falling?

[it's kind of a stupid question, but he honestly doesn't get it. Shouldn't she know what makes her happy by then?

He's got that sort of longevity to look forward to, but even then, he's still a kid.]

[diana_abel]

Dude, it's not like I have some kind of switch I can flip when I need a pick-me-up.

That's what pot is for.

Which is, sadly, only a short-term solution. The fact of the matter remains that I am a co-dependent headcase with a martyr complex and problems adapting to change. You know, if you were wondering.

[undermyfeet]

[ .... That sounds like his best friend. Only, except for the codependent part (Rafe's ward doesn't count), that's Alex all the way.]

Who are you co-dependent on?

[he doesn't even bother to follow up if you don't mind my asking because Alex personally doesn't care of the question makes her uncomfortable.]

[diana_abel]

...other people?

Who are you, anyway?
