☔Apparently, I didn't realize there wasn't an anti-stress mat at my station when I began my shift. My new boots are so comfortable it took me two hours to notice, and it was only because I dropped some money. Once again extending my thanks to rose's system for the wonderful gift.

turns out he was talking to the guy behind me, who won a card game earlier. i follow him so i don't get lost and then we part ways outside my apartment

and then I woke up! I don't usually get a full arc, that was cool

I try to look inside one of the trashcans out of boredom and a guard threatens me with an exactoknife, but cleverly I manage to retract the knife before he can ever cut me, and he ends up hurting himself and being like "y'know what you earned it go on through"

once they start making mine though, a pipe bursts and starts leaking pink stuff all over some lady. i start pointing and yelling "it's willy Wonka! they're doing Wonka shit!" and sprint for the nearest exit

they... lock me in the tunnel

anyway I somehow found a mall (yay mall dream) and the food court. there was a giantess selling breast milk from the tap (I was shy) but ALSO Dylan and Cole Sprouse were selling space themed milkshakes!!!! one of the flavours was an asteroid field that they explained was "too many m&ms"

I go in, end up in a break room, and someone asks why working makes them feel high if they feel so depressed. I just kinda shuffle past them and I don't think they noticed

I found a cute fluffy plushie hat that I COULD afford but like when would I wear it?

yayyy I got back to sleep thanks Veevee!

i had such a weird dream. so show the underground tunnel system (yes we have one) had an entrance by my apartment I never noticed, and also like, guards with lockable checkpoints. I went through on and ended up at an airport with a sobeys??

but then, the package! the boots, and the socks, and the blanket and the dice! just an explosion of warmth and friendship and kindness within our core, we hope rose knows how much we appreciate it.

fighting games with Veevee are fun too! even if I'm(?) not the best at yomih, it's still fun!

what a wonderful night. too sleepy to know who's here, sorry.

it started off rocky. feeling the sting of being misgendered despite our best efforts, being called by grandma without the second's chance for peace, dedicating ourselves to chores as soon as we were home (and talking to neighbors)...

I walked through a leaf hurricane on the way to work today! 🥞

it was fun and nice, even if I couldn't stick around to enjoy it. watching the leaves dance around is one of my favorite parts of autumn, I totally need to do it more!

I hope this lasts forever <3

not in a bad way! I would never want this to stop or lessen at all, everyone is wonderful! i guess it's just like, after being dead for so long, it takes some adjusting to feeling like there's a real connection

this isn't just convenience. we're not tolerating each other. there's a connection

oh my god 🥞 this is what it was always supposed to feel like

I used to think friends were just people you spent time with. but, god, this feels like so much more

maybe it's just the fact that I'm alive now, but I've never felt this connected to other people before. it's a little overwhelming

oh, right, update for this 🥞

apparently the renovation that's been "any day now" for the past few years is happening within the month? so the store is trying to save on hours. that means, if it's slow, they can just tell me to go home :/

why offer the shift tomorrow, then? whatever, they're weird

girls in the may-king @trancakes.bsky.social · 2d

Um... perhaps this one shouldn't have accepted the extra shift for tomorrow...

But! This one will have so much money for Christmas! It can't wait to spoil all of its friends!

This one feels all floppy and silly today... but a coworker said it's really busy today! Everyone wish this one luck!
