WEEK 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Another week has come and gone, and three more people are dead. Nearly half of the guests are dead in a little over a month. The ghosts are still not reacting, and with Demyx's execution one has to wonder if the ghosts are even here anymore.

In the very least one more floor has been opened up: the trophy room, a shooting gallery, and a bathing room.

... Maybe keep Kiara out of the trophy room.

14 guests remain.]

[ SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY ]

. . . Yeah. [Julia smiles, mostly at the wall.] I just spent a lot of time being who other people wanted me to be, instead of figuring out who I was. It's . . . it's been a process.

[kindaruledatit]

Heh, sounds kind of like being popular. I've been there. [She resumes her panting, going for something involving a redheaded figure kicking a triangle to pieces.]

That's one of those problems with it. Sometimes when people like you, you think you need to act like something you're not. [She shrugs, resuming her work.] And you're supposed to find the dudes that like you for who you are and all that stuff.

[A wave of her hand in the air.] Etc, etc.

[amadeusrockette]

But everyone says you have to do things to get boys to like you and so it's like "am I supposed to be myself? am I supposed to wear lots of makeup?" and the answer is . . . both and neither.

[Julia sighs. She's moved on to drawing a girl with mustard.]

Like . . . yes, you should wear lots of makeup if you like makeup! And yes, you should be yourself! But at the same time, you don't have to tell someone your whole life story on a first date? And there are always things you'll have to compromise on . . . Relationships are very complicated. I think I know why my dad said I shouldn't date until I'm thirty.

[She scoffs at Julia's remarks, but not in a mocking sort of tone.] Okay, first, boys are the worst. Trust me, sometimes it becomes way too much work trying to deal with one and it's better to just be yourself.

[She's had bad boyfriends before, she knows.]

But yeah, okay. Relationships are weird. And it's not like they're instantly perfect or anything. [at least most of the time.] But it can get really easy to tell which ones might work and what's going to fail after a while. That's how I learned.

[amadeusrockette]

I feel like the movies make you feel like you can just meet "The One" and everything will be perfect, but real life is so . . . messy. [She says that like she hadn't realized that was the case for most of her life.] Everyone makes mistakes in a relationship, but I feel like nobody ever told me how many you could make and how hard it is to fix them.

[kindaruledatit]

Oh yeah, I know how that feels. [She starts counting off on her fingers.] Pysche Wirley, Nate Holt, Stoney Davidson, and that's just like, three of mine.

Relationships are seriously rocky sometimes, take it from someone that really knows. [Like her. Hypnosis is a bitch.] It can get really rough, and yeah, some relationships are gonna crash and burn, but... I guess that's what makes finding someone you really click with all the better, you know?
