If it ain't your birthday, its an unbirthday. Just how that works you know. Means I can strike at any time, with my terrible human gift giving urges.

Watch your back, kid.

Offering an olive branch

[truepsychictale]

I feel like I should at least explain why I am so angry and exactly who made me so upset with this entire trainwreck of a conversation and why I am worried about the conviction of it all.

Because Terezi, we both have been in groups together that fell apart as quickly as they were built when a number of the group found something to be a magpie at.

I feel like it would be best for us to express our feelings over something that is not a text based medium to proper tones/easier explanation can happen.

Because despite all of this, I do see you as a friend, and I do not want to lose it over something that we could work on and fix.

You can choose a time and location, and I will be there.

I'm a rude kinda guy. So I'm doing my job now. I'd say sniff your back, but dunno if that'll work either.

All traditions are pretty dumb, lets be real here. Especially human traditions anchored in expectations.

Well, if you wanna, you can. I figured you deserved something nice.

Terezi,

I don't really know how I'm supposed to ask this, I know you offered but it feels weird to be dumping all my shit on someone who wasn't there and probably has a million better things to do with their time than deal with it--

[ there's a lot crossed out and erased here, all of it varying levels of self depreciation, sorry for the mess. ]

I guess basically I'm just wondering if you have any spare time anytime soon or whenever and feel like talking for a bit and if not I'm sorry I'm wasting your time.

Terezi, [ though her name's smudged via paw print ]

I don't really know. To be honest, in person's kind of an intimidating option, but it's not really something that's easy to explain or demonstrate in a letter.

But I think I already told you all that on the board. Can't remember. Most things are a blur nowadays anyway.

Is there someplace around here that's good for these sort of things? I don't know what you'd call it. But I guess any place that's quiet and private. I wouldn't want anything to accidentally happen to your treehouse.

Terezi,

As much as I want to say it's nothing like that, I honestly don't know what to expect at this point. Maybe setting shit on fire's a potential hazard. I don't fucking know anymore.

Honestly, not too fond of the cold either. Didn't really know there was a beach around here though. So that could work, if you don't mind it.

Terezi,

I'm pretty sure it's a thing I can't do but we'll call it a possibility because I literally don't fucking know if it is for sure.

Anytime works for me. I'm not exactly busy. Whatever works best for you. If you really want to. No pressure.

Honestly I hope it's not a date because it's sounding like it would be the worst date ever. I know you're joking and all. But actual shittiest date in the universe.

Terezi because I'm not creative enough for clever nicknames,

It's honestly only if you want to. Just putting that out there again.

And I'll take your word for it and avoid the Shitty Date Award competition, for the sake of what remains of both of our sanities.
