A GIRL IS A GOD.

[ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: i very much appreciate it [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: oh -- [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: whenever you are all free for dinner! it is your home, after all [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: i try to keep my nights available for schoolwork, so i’ll be around. 

[ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: i’m having a hard time reading your messages [ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: smoke? [ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: oh. i’m not sure if -- [ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: alright. we can try!

[ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: you’re too sweet. [ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: i’m coming downstairs now. [ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: see you in a moment!

[ text → ✉ → morgan 🌚 ]: some asshole just ripped my beanie off my head  [ text → ✉ → morgan 🌚 ]: right off my head! right in the middle of the sidewalk! [ text → ✉ → morgan 🌚 ]: and then he ran away, laughing! [ text → ✉ → morgan 🌚 ]: i horrified i young child! [ text → ✉ → morgan 🌚 ]: so that’s how my night is going. how are you?

seldom does ebony moone remove the beanies from her head  .  seldom does she wish to show the world the arachnid beneath  ,  a giant spider whose legs encase her head and delve into her ears  .  with cassandra lang  ,  her seldom becomes often  .  she has no concern for the blonde’s aversive reactions  ,  her interests in insects only solidifies it  .  perhaps she makes bonnie feel like less of a FREAK  ,  less like a woman stripped of her identity and forced to become a goddess wearing her flesh like a cloak  .  she attempts a smile  ,  nods  .  ❝   i’m sure it will  .  ❞  but there’s something lacking in that tone  .  how can one be so sure it’ll get better  ,  when this entity is poised atop the crown of her head and will only remove itself upon the hostess’s death  ?  she sighs  ,  shakes her head  .  ❝  i have good and bad days  .  today  ,  neith has been relatively quiet  .  i’m grateful  .  ❞   her eyes linger on the lang  ,  inquisitive  .  ❝   what are you working on  ?   ❞ 

there’s stars in her eyes but her tongue feels as though she’s been kissed by midas himself  ,  leaden with gold  ,  heavy  .  the words leave danielle’s lips and ebony moone cannot fathom to speak any words  .  instead her hands find the hem of her faded yellow beaning and tug it nervously down  .  (  the world never terrified her until she’d encounter neith  .  until the goddess took residence in her broken marrow and made an unsteady home of bonnie’s bones  )  ,   still she regards danielle cage as though she’s the sun  .  reclining back along her mattress and exhaling a sigh  .  CONTENT  .  her grin is lazy she tilts her head  .   ❝  i don’t see why  ,  ❞  and it’s murmured out softly  .  unsure  .  bonnie’s nothing more than a mortal trying to contain an ancient deity in her flesh  .  nothing more than blood and flesh stitched poorly together with the best of intentions  .   ❝  how come you’re not afraid of me  ?   ❞  there’s a fear in her eyes she’d noticed the first time she gazed into a mirror at sixteen and did not recognize the ghost staring back  .  she breathes out  .  unsteady  .  ❝ i could say the same about you  ,  too  .  ❞

[ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: i know... it still makes me feel bad, though. [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: never apologize.  [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: i’m always here for you. always. [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: alright [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: i’m on my way.

[ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: you’re right. thank you very much for the advice, professor. [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: oh --  [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: i don’t want to impose! [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: but i would be quite honoured, and would certainly appreciate anyone who can understand what i’m feeling.  [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: thank you very much.

[ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: that sounds perfect. [ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: i miss you, too! [ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: see you soon :)

❝  you don’t have to thank me  .  i figure if i’ve been cursed with these abilities  ,  i might as well put them to good use  .  ❞  she knows little about the pryde daughter and has no incentive to glean more  ,  but those strifes revealed to ebony in spider silk tapestries are nothing if not concerning  .   (  she oft questions the purpose of neith’s desire to reveal intimate details of persons and their lives  .  what ulterior motives does the ancient goddess possess  ?  it’s quite frustrating that the deity’s willing to divulge those of myriad innocents yet propose nothing about the archon’s own intents  .  she’s certain they cannot be  good  .   )   ❝  i’m doing alright  .  just recovering  .  there’s a telepath in our midst and between her and neith  ,  my mind was overwhelmingly loud for a while  .  ❞

❝  i’m not pouting  ,  it was merely an observation  ,  ❞   the archon’s host simpers  ,  cocking her head at that unfamiliar boop to her nose  .  certain customs and mannerisms escape her  ,  even after all these years  .  ❝ of course you were good enough  .  but i’m positive you know that already  .  ❞

she can’t help but giggle at the untamed tresses and at morgan’s attempts to rectify their mess  .  but she loves it  ,  truly she does  .  his comment though has her blushing  ,  heart stuttering a beat because    --   oh  ,  gods  ,  her beanie fell off  ,  hadn’t it  ?   she’s panicking a moment  ,  sifting through the covers until she feels that familiar knitted material  ,  slips it over her head to conceal that unsightly menace  .  tucks it down below her ears to avoid protrusions  .  much better  .  ❝  sorry you had to see that  ,  ❞  she mumbles bitterly  ,  fidgeting with the loose strap of her lace bralette  . ❝ i know that thing is a little  .  .  .   horrifying  .  ❞  (  her laugh is bitter and coarse  ,  potent disdain saturated in bronze hues  .  )

[ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: nothing in particular! [ text → ✉ → gwen logan 🌎 ]: just felt like we could use some catching up time :)

[ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: thank you very much :) [ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: you’re too kind [ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: i would love to hang out next saturday! [ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: it never hurts to ask [ text → ✉ → tommy shepherd ⏩ ]: i’m looking forward to it!

[ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: but the goddess inside my head is a monster. [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: i mean no disrespect to my heritage but she strives for ideals from an ancient time [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: this is not that time any longer, and she wants a chaos the world should no longer have [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: i’m fearful everyone will think i am capable of those horrible things neith craves [ text → ✉ → betty ross 🎈]: i appreciate your kind words and i’m trying to take them to heart. it’s just very loud n my head sometimes and i cannot escape these thoughts.

[ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: i’m still sorry. [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: i know... [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: perhaps it’s good to discuss it, though [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: please calm down for me [ text → ✉ → avery morse 🐦 ]: i am here if you’d like to talk
