savetheearth | second rock. voice (phone)/action. friday, after school.

Okay, obviously I have nothing to say about the shiny lights in the sky still because wow I dunno, really obvious reasons for at least some of you - and I don't have a lot of awe to go around for all these "wow look at this totally awesome thing I can do slash that I have!" if it comes with no explanation at all for equally obvious reasons. For...well, at least Peppy and some of the people at that party the other month know why that is, but I guess in the interest of time I will just do a quick disclaimer of "hey, assholes, I'm blind."

So if I don't act all excited about your pictures or whatever don't get all offended because there's a reason your pictures are sort of dull. And it'd be super if in addition to "hey look at this" you also did an addendum of what we're supposed to be looking at, but you know, whatever.

Anyway, that actually wasn't why I started this. I mean, it kinda was just because it's getting old to do the whole "gee whiz golly what a great photo" thing or to get told off when requesting extra information, but that's not the important thing.

Peppy and I went on a walk the other day, and yadda yadda yadda tuning towers yeah I know we all know about it - but because we went - I guess? - I got something cool.

[ And she sounds more than a little smug about it, too. ]

I can see. Not videos or pictures or whatever, so don't bother with that, but...I can sort of see. If I'm barefoot. I've been trying it ever since we went, but it's not really the easiest thing... [ because wow no lessons just the ability ] ...but I can actually tell where things are. Kind of. If it's earth. I guess it's sort of relevant to share.

...Oh, and could I get someone to like. [ She sighs. ] Check me over every so often or something?? Just like tell me if my hair or my eyes or whatever changes randomly. Color-wise. Like, to the point my parents would be concerned. ...I assume I'm pretty much still me, or they probably would have said something. ...This is stupid, ignore that. Anyway, Later.

[ If anyone would prefer an action option, Sophie is trying to unobtrusively get some more practice in at the park. This involves sitting in the grass somewhere with her shoes off and her palms on the ground, leaning back, her cane nearby. She's not going to be out particularly late, and stays in the more populated of areas, since she's, you know, people-watching for practice. ...Though it pretty much looks like she's just hanging out doing nothing, since "practice" involves maintaining contact with the ground and just sort of...listening is the best word she has for it, still. ]

[ Vaughn are you really surprised right now? ]

Peppy? Well, yeah, what else would I call you?

[ what is this real name of which you speak? ]

[He should have seen this coming. Oh, how he should have...]

Something else?! You're gonna have everyone in the numbers club calling me Peppy!

And what's so bad about that?

[ Are you saying her naming skills aren't AMAZING, Vaughn. ]

I don't know if I want everyone knowing me as Peppy Longstockings!

[AMAZING?? How will he ever be cool and unique and exciting with a name like that, gosh]

Why not? It's my best work yet!

[ seriously it couldn't possible be worse ]

[SIGH.] You're embarrassing me!

If that's your best work, what've you been calling everyone else?

Not my fault you're easily embarrassed.

Depends. Who're we talking about?

H-hey, that's... That's got nothing to do with it!

[A pause.] Anyone!

You sure about that?

Uh. I guess Shouty is Sunshine?

...Yeah! It's completely different!

[Don't mind him getting defensive, nope, nope.]

But Sunshine isn't that bad anyway.

Princess? Rainbow? Buttercup?

[Yep, he's wincing over on his end, grateful, for both having responded by voice and for the fact that she wouldn't be able to see him anyway.]

Jeez! Who's stuck with those names?

Shouty McShouterson. Karson. The guy with the dog.

[...Wait a minute.]

Whoa, wait. The guy with the deer?!

Yeah, him! That's the one.

[A moment's pause and, wait for it, wait for it... He's bursting into laughter over on his end.]

I take it back! Call him Rainbow and Buttercup and anything else you want!

So you two know one another?

I just talked to his once! He was talking about a deer and how one tried to kill him before or something.

It was freaky!

Oh, yeah, the deer thing.

...Do you think he was exaggerating?

[He heaves out a breath.] I don't know! I'm not gonna say it's impossible or anything.

[And a laugh now.] But it sounded really weird!

Lots of stuff on here does, admittedly, but...

[ She snorts. ]

...Yeah, it really did.

[And he's just gonna keep snickering here.]

It was different from what we usually see here, huh?

Kinda...although this stuff just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

I guess so, yeah! I didn't think anything that weird had happened when I first found out about all of this.

Yeah, not gonna lie, I kinda feel bad for the newer newbies. Shit keeps getting more and more unbelievable. I feel like we got in on the easy level and they got shoved straight into hardcore.
