Yeah.

I don't know. Still trying to figure out how i feel.

Yeah. I can't imagine.

[How difficult it would be to sort out all of what happened. He has his own problems and those are confusing enough, without the added issue of actually turning into a monster.]

Do you need anything at your place? It's just you and Nymeria right?

[He's not sure which name he should be using after Arya introduced herself differently on the network, but since Cashmere told him this one he figures going with it is okay.]

[ she never thought she'd say this, but dying was way better the first time around. ]

We've got it figured out. Thanks, though.

Do you think she'll be ok? After everything she saw?

Yeah, no problem. Let me know if that changes, okay?

[It takes a lot longer to respond to that second part, because he doesn't really have an answer. Chris isn't sure how much older he is than Arya but it has to be at least five years, and neither he nor any of his friends are okay after their first brush with the wendigo back home let alone a second time.

But they were also totally normal, slightly spoiled teenagers, for the most part. Who knows what Arya's background is, or how she might handle things. For all he knows she's seen worse; everything's very relative here.]

I don't know.

She seems like a really tough kid, though. If anyone's got a chance it's probably her.

I will.

[ she thinks Arya will be okay - hopes she will, anyway. Cashmere knows Arya's life at home wasn't easy but she's also seen how living through something horrific can change a person. she couldn't forgive herself if she had any part in traumatizing the girl. who wouldn't be a little fucked up after watching their friend turn into a monster and having to kill them? ]

She's great, isn't she? It was fucked up though. She shouldn't have to do that. [ shouldn't have to kill the woman who'd become her family. but what can you do? ] What happened to people who turned into monsters where you're from?

She's pretty badass. More than some of the adults.

[More than a lot of the adults, really. Not that he blames people for freaking out, because it's totally understandable, but that just makes Arya more special.

Again there's a delay, because he's not totally sure how to answer.]

Back at home? They're all dead, we think. Sam and Mike blew up the lodge with the last wendigos inside.

[He's not totally sure those were all of them, but hopefully. And either way he's never going back to that horrible place again, so it ultimately shouldn't matter.]

So this isn't normal? You've never seen anyone come back?

[ she really doesn't want to owe Hope one. but... ]

I don't want to be that again.

I think people coming back is Hope's doing, yeah. No one comes back from the dead at home.

[As much as he wishes they could.]

Yeah, I don't blame you. Rage said she took care of the remaining wendigos but I don't know if she got rid of the spirits themselves so they might still be a problem. But they can't possess you unless you engage in cannibalism again though.

[Unless dying doesn't give a clean slate on that.]

Ugh. I might try being a vegetarian for a while.

Ha ha. [ see? she's still got a sense of humor. mostly, Cashmere plans to keep laying low until she feels more like her old self. who knows how long that might take?]

Stupid Hope. I'm still missing a patch of hair. Some god he is.

As much as it pains me, that's what I've been doing.

[It's horrible okay is there no end to the suffering he has to endure?]

Wow really? What a hack.

[ meat was basically the only thing she had going for her! now she has to eat vegetables and be partially bald! the gods are all on her shit list. ]

That's what I'm saying! How hard can it be to bring someone back from the dead the right way?

I'm going to have to part it differently. I can't fucking believe this.

Yeah you'd think he already did all the hard stuff, how tough could it be to make sure all your hair's okay?

Maybe you can do one of those cool edgy styles that are big right now where it's partially shaved or whatever. Go all punk-rock fuck the gods.

I can pull anything off but I'm not sure I can pull that off. My hair was insured at home. It's my thing. Fuck.

[ she'll get over it. maybe. ]

What did i miss while I was
busy?

Did you seriously insure your hair?

[Have we gone Mean Girls in here?]

Just more of the same sort of thing. Then it's been quiet after Rage did her thing; I guess everyone's just taking some time to recover.

I didn't do it, it was insured on my behalf. Can't be blonde and beautiful if you're not blonde, right?

Are you judging me right now or are you embarrassed for me?

[ both are acceptable answers. ]

Yeah it seems quiet. I tried to delete my network post but it wouldn't delete. I guess I'll just have to wait for other people to make assholes of themselves

Hey no judging, just never heard of anyone insuring their hair outside of this one really good movie.

And I dunno, I have a friend who's blonde but not actually blonde.

[Or did have a friend. He's pretty sure she's dead.

But he's not going to think about that right now.]

I think your post was pretty justified.

Good to know we can't delete them, though.

Well you've heard we have more fun, haven't you?

[ justified, but... ]

Makes it hard to pretend none of that happened.

I have, but I'm guessing it only works for girls. Definitely not helping me in any fun department.

Yeah, but I think that'd be pretty impossible either way.

You must not be doing it right ;)

A girl can try. Thanks for helping, by the way. I don't know what would have happened if you didn't warn us.

I'll welcome any pointers because I could totally use more fun in my life right now.

Yeah, no problem. I wish we could've done more, though.

[They kind of hadn't managed a lot other than telling people how to kill wendigos instead of getting killed by them, which... Certainly didn't do the people who turned into wendigos any good.]

I lied I've had 0 fun since i got here.

Well Fear could have also not turned us into cannibals but here we are. It was one of my favorite foods from home, did you know that? It was intentional.

Great that makes two of us. We should round up the other blonds and see how they're doing.

[Whoever they are. There's maybe two others Chris can think of and he's pretty sure they haven't had any fun either.]

What, meat or humans specifically?

[He can't tell through text if she left it ambiguous as a joke or accidentally, so hopefully his question covers both bases.]

That actually sounds like it could be fun.

[ or a sad party. if there's alcohol involved she's for it either way. ]

HAHA [ that was dark, Chris. she loved it. ] Regular meat!!! It was these little meat pies from home. I thought it would be lamb

It actually sort of does.

[Or at least a light-hearted distraction. A post calling all blonds in the horrible death cave to see if they've had more fun than the rest of the people would be so ridiculous people might actually laugh.

And good, score. Morbid jokes have been coming to him a lot better than any other sort lately, not that that's probably a surprise.]

Oh, it was like, something specifically you liked? Man, that's messed up.

[Serious dick move, Fear. More than all the rest of it already was.]

Let's do it. At the very least it might make some non-blondes mad and I could use that kind of distraction. [ she's a dick, oh well. ]

Yeah. It was stupid of me to think food from home would show up. I should have known.
