(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : we should do dinnr. y/n?

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Maybe I can find a poetry book about murder. That sounds like it could be interesting. Frog things are good. Also origami things.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : And dinner would be good!

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : settling in? anything u need?

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Finally out of murder motel. Apartment is nice. I think I have all the basics. But I'll let you know if I find I need something else. Decorations maybe? I don't have any of those.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : I only came with my clothes and my money and my giant frog and some origami things and school stuff

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : we should hit the thrift shops. and maybe lilith's pawn place. sometimes thr r thngs.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : It's a plan! How are you? Besides getting beat up

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : alive. gettng more work. veil woman chnged how ppl see me.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : was very high for a week. wore off. yay

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : In a good way or bad way? For the people seeing. I'm glad I came in at the end of that weed cloud. I didn't get anything done for the two days I was exposed. Except ate a lot of pizza.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : good. sort of a supr detective? and a drug addict. but cant have everything. and eating pizza is nobl clling. 🙂 🙂

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : can i ask u something?

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Well there are worse things to be called I guess. And of course. Ask me anything.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : when we met here. u had pills. u got off of them. did i help, or did i hurt? u can tell me if i hurt.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Well. It didn't FEEL helpful in the moment. But afterwards I knew it was. It was good to have someone else there. Someone to keep me in line even through my bullshit.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Why do you ask?

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : i'm sorry. i never meant to hurt.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : You didn't really hurt though. You helped. Sometimes helping involves unpleasant things.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : i thought that. but. sometimes i hurt when idont mean to. so. if i hurt, i'm sorry.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Well I don't really remember you ever hurting me. But you're forgiven anyway.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : 🙂

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : sorry. feeling sad. but glad ur back. lking forward to xmas. lng as we dont get eaten by satan.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : santa.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : No, you were probably right the first time. This whole place might as well be an entrance to Hell. Don't apologize <3 I will stop by in the next day or two to visit and help with house things and pet things.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : luigi missed u. he doesnt missanyone. dont think he even misses me. he's been speeking french at me.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Aww I'm sure he misses you. But you're always there so you wouldn't really know. I'm surprised he remembers what I taught him.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : I will have to teach him more!

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : he has good memory. and u should. need an educated bird. go to colleg. make somthing of himself.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : pay for his own dam treats.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : You know he would still make you pay for them 😂

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : mooch. fucking mooch bird. hes lucky hes pretty.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : cat also a mooch. but shes a princess. so. cant expect anytng else.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : All cats are mooches. This is known. But they're both cute and lovable. Most of the time.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : They would sometimes have pet days at Cedar Hills and those were fun. To play with the cats and dogs

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : yes. and warm and soft. cedar hills?

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Oh. I guess I haven't really told anyone. Well except Leon. That's where I was in Portland. It's a psych hospital. I went there when I was a kid too. But it was...warmer than I remembered it being

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : I hate hospitals, but it was a good place. And didn't' really feel like a hospital

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : ur a different person now. than as a kid. diffrent needs. im glad it was a good place. dont have t burn it down.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : True and me too. I don't know what would have happened if it was bad. And no, no need to set fire to it.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : u would have zotted the fuck out of it. if it was bad. 🙂

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Or tried to! Powers were definitely not as strong up there. But I would've given 'em hell. And probably run back here. Better to be crazy and in a familiar place.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : know how that feels. u seem good. better even than when u left.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : My brain is much less fuzzy. The medicines help a lot - easier to think. Easier to remember. Though some things are still gone.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : maybe some should be gone. maybe u dont need all of them.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : You're right. Some memories are better gone. Leaves room for new ones.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Oh. I think I ran into that video game girl. A bit back. Does she have green hair?

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : yes. 🙂 granted, gh isnt the best place to make good memories. but i have hope.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : yes. Machinae. shes good.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Didn't get to talk long, but she seems okay. Hopefully we can talk more next time if I see her. GH is still very gray. But there seem to be interesting people, like you said. I've met a Ravn and a Seth. Saw Hyacinth again too.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : ravn is good. weird. good conman. seth is complicated. but good when not working. hyacinth still terrifying. invited me to dinner.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Did you go? She talked about ghosts and it was sort of confusing.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : not yet. but will. shes not bad. just scary.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : She is a little intimidating. But nice. I like her outfits. I'm hoping working at the bar I will meet more people. Widen my circle.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : funny thing. seth said he got lost. had to midwife giant frog eggs. should ask him about it.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : more people is good. good ons evn in gh.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : He did?! That sounds so cool! I will definitely ask him. I still have that picture with all the frogs on me, that was my favorite.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : 🙂 im glad. never know what to do for friends. but i rmmber u smiling and it was good.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Me either. People are hard to figure out sometimes. But that was definitely a good thing.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : yes. and xmas will be good. dinner. maybe carols. metal carols?

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : Metal carols? Sure!

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : i will add it to the list.

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : I'm looking forward to it. I'll see you soon. Don't get beat up anymore.

(TXT to Isolde) Alexander : make no promises. dont die. 🐸

(TXT to Alexander) Isolde : I'll try not to!
