@psychfucks , “/ relax /?? / just / WEED?? no, doofus, it’s not a time to relax when you’ve got that IN THE DORM. don’t you know the RAs are gonna check this place in an hour or so??” a huff escapes her pink lips and she’s flushed from the arguing, “give it back to your friend or whatever.”

@totallyxtra kazik couldn’t hold back the stupor of surprise crossing his face. a brow lifted, lips thinning. twas truly fascinating, he keenly noted to himself—-the way her mouth moved rapidly, words tumbling out in a single breath. was she an alien? such a significant little tally, the aura she carried simmered unintentionally through her body language. if he wasn’t so irritated, he might have smiled at the way she held the entire room, as though including him, and everyone around them, under her control. kazik wanted to interrupt, but held himself back, unknowingly beginning to count the spaces between her breaths. his patience frayed. ⠀⠀⠀ “yeah?” he mused at her last statement, dryly, a ‘matter of fact’ expression strewn across her face. “but you’re alive and—-here, no?” he interjected, a sharp note slipping into his tone. “i’m starting to think the threat wasn’t him..” &. not the taxes, lmfao. ignore everything else EXCEPT taxes. ☠️

@kazits , uh, excuse me, / dude /, i’m trying to tell you about a very specific and important time i was almost kidnapped! have some courtesy? —anyways, it wasn’t like a / van / van. not like the cliche white one—no ‘FREE CANDY’ either. it was gray, but it totally looked suspicious. and it was driving so slow .. and behind me? in the rain. like … i could have gotten booted back to tyxiph. if he was some universal spy, you know? not that i couldn’t take him or anything. i’m so trained, you know?

/ yes, she printed her own driver’s license—and found out driving a car is way different than flying an alien aircraft. cb, optionally specify!
ilokind
beer pong?? oh, man, come on lena. you gotta let me join those guys.
ilokind
what, they're eddies or something? at least let me have half of one! just enough to chill a little.
totallyxtra
@ilokind , yes, / maybe /. and i have i doubt you can. let’s .. oh! dance floor? snacks table? do NOT eat those brownies.
ilokind
psshhh, i could out-drink half the people here. i guess you've got a point, though. maybe sobriety could do me some good.

/ cb, specify lovelies <3
SPDRWEBBED
you shouldn't be doing that. it's not safe.

@SPDRWEBBED , sounds like / someone’s / worried about lil’ ol’ me. * she bats her eyelashes teasingly, then completes the taunt with roll of her golden eyes, * come be my supervisor or whatever while i take a few quick shots. then you can pull me to safety when this so-called still-running train appears.
SPDRWEBBED
well, no! it still runs, and two, even for a photo op, you shouldn't be here — what if you got hit by it ?
totallyxtra
@SPDRWEBBED , oh, come on. i thought the train that ran this track was, like, dead or whatever. plus it makes for a good photo op.

* YOU HAVE BECOME SO HUMAN. THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL.
“I FIND IT ALMOST HARD TO BELIEVE I COULD ESCAPE MY HOME PLANET WITHOUT A PESKY EYE CATCHING ME. I FIND IT EVEN HARDER TO BELIEVE I AM EXCELLING IN HUMAN SCHOLAR CLASSES, AND I BLENDED IN FROM WEEK ONE.”
“NOW WHAT I FIND HARD TO GRASP, IS THE CONCEPT OF BEING BOTH TYXIPHIAN AND HUMAN. SUDDENLY, I BEGIN TO WONDER IF MY FATHER WAS PROTECTING ME NOT FROM THE HUMANS OR EARTH, BUT FROM WHAT MYSELF WOULD BECOME …”

— LENA “MURPHY”, a problem whose solution goes beyond the universe. the alien general’s daughter appreciates his training—not the soured love he bestowed upon her—and she will use it well in her transformation.
ilokind
your outfit? killing it, girl.
ilokind
a day? oh, no. this won't do. the people need content! i got you, lena. i'm your photographer. let's do this.
totallyxtra
@ilokind , ugh, i know right? it took me exactly twenty-eight minutes to style it right. wanna do an impromptu photoshoot for me? it’ll look good on my insta—which i haven’t posted on for a DAY.
hyrded
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ you’ve been hiding in here this whole time? come on—-talk to me. what happened?
totallyxtra
@hyrded , i kinda sorta wish you hadn’t found me. * a dramatic sigh lifted and she leaned her head back until it knocked the wall of the cramped cabinet-like space she was in—knees bunched up to her chest, * it’s just .. what if i made a mistake? you know .. choosing earth?
