i don't know what can be done. things keep happening ut there isn't anything to do. what else can be done?

..also my teeth hurt...it never hurt when i lost teeth before. could that be something really bad or should i keep it to myself? i don't want my sister or daddy to know just in case...

[And she forgot for the moment said sister is part of the network...OOPS.]

Your teeth hurt?

[prismaticdestruction]

uh huh. i lost two teeth after i ran into the scary guy..and then they started hurting. are big teeth supposed to do that?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Uh, not really. What do you mean "the scary guy"?

[prismaticdestruction]

oh. so that's not good?

he found me when i was looking around. he said he was full up on kids to steal and took me back to my dad.

[not_good_not_wicked]

That might be something to go see a dentist about, not us.

Also holy sh-...cow do we have someone kidnapping children!? Where were you looking around? What did he look like?

[prismaticdestruction]

but what if it's something that they do not need to see?

i dunno where...i was taken out shopping and i got bored and walked outside and he was there. tall..spiky hair..sunglasses...

[not_good_not_wicked]

Then...uh. Heck, I don't know.

[Marisa does not feel qualified for this conversation.]

How old ARE you, just to start?

[prismaticdestruction]

um...i'm 8 but i can handle it, really!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Eight, Jesus...

You should really find someone you trust and tell them about all this. The network is full of strange people.

[prismaticdestruction]

i trust my sister...but i do not want her to worry

[not_good_not_wicked]

Especially if she's not part of the network.

Is she part of the network?

[prismaticdestruction]

she is! ...wait...she's going to see this!

i messed up

[not_good_not_wicked]

Nice work.

[prismaticdestruction]

i forgot with everything happening. she's going to freak out....what do i do?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Damage control. Has she ever caught you out on lying before?

[prismaticdestruction]

a few times. she freaks out a loot.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Hmm, that reduces your options. You could try changing the subject and then doing a bunch of nice things for her while she forgot about it so she's in a better mood when she remembers. OR, you could try just coming clean (which might not be a bad idea.).

They may be hurting because of the cold. How bad is it?

[Text]

[prismaticdestruction]

just in the spots i lost my teeth? the rest don't hurt...it's a sharp almost stabby pain

[Text]

[belphe]

There might be an infection. Some warm salt water or toothpaste might take the edge off of the pain for a bit, but as others have said, a dentist really should have a look.

[Text]

[prismaticdestruction]

mm...i really don't want to say anything though..they will just worry more and i do not want that

[Text]

[belphe]

The longer you wait, the more worrisome it may get. You shouldn't be afraid of fixing problems when they're small. That's what doctors are there for.

[Text]

[prismaticdestruction]

i don't want them to worry and have to deal with any doctors.

...it won't make me sick will it?

[Text]

[belphe]

It could.

Problems with your teeth should be taken seriously. People have died from letting them get too out of hand.

[Text]

[prismaticdestruction]

[This will actually take a bit for a response. She's scared now.]

i don't want to go back....but if you think i really should say something, i guess i have to. i am just scared that it might be something that someone will be upset about or what they do not need to know.

[belphe]

[as someone who aspires to become a doctor, the tone of the text is worrying. It makes her wonder what else the writer may have let go by the wayside and for how long out of worry of upsetting others.]

If you like, I can give you the name of my dentist. He is not easily-upset.

[Dani's just tired of hospitals..and terrified that one day they won't let her out.]

if i can get my daddy to go to him. i dun think we have gone to one since coming from france.

[belphe]

["Daddy"? Oh my...the texter is younger than Belle had thought]

How old are you, if I may ask?

[Text]

[prismaticdestruction]

....i'm eight years old.

[Text]

[belphe]

If it will help, tell your father that you've spoken to a counselor about your pain and she recommended you a dentist.

[not quite a counselor yet, but it sounds a fair bit better than "a passing stranger expressing concern"]

[Text]

[prismaticdestruction]

okay. i can try and see what he says. thank you!

placeholdering for now orz

[septette]

Excuse me?

[ OH HELL NAW she was out of the house at the moment but now she's reconsidering just zipping back home. ]

[prismaticdestruction]

i'm fine roselle. there isn't anything wrong!

[dragon_blossom]

your teeth hurt? you could just go to a dentist you know it might not be anything weird just them growing in wrong.

text

[prismaticdestruction]

both at the same time though? and it's only those two i lost that hurt.

text

[dragon_blossom]

what else would it be? teeth are weird.

text

[prismaticdestruction]

i dunno, maybe i am turning into a bad thing?

Re: text

[dragon_blossom]

what like a dragon?

text

[prismaticdestruction]

maybe! that would be really cool!..but hard to hide from my dad

text

[dragon_blossom]

lets hope not then.

text

[prismaticdestruction]

maybe i am gaining sharp teeth to bite people who try to hurt everyone?

text

[dragon_blossom]

[ Sharp teeth biting badguys sharp-teethed people and heroics. Blade. ]

what if all your teeth fall out and end up sharp thouhg?

text

[prismaticdestruction]

uh...not if they all would hurt like this!

text

[dragon_blossom]

[ Which isn't a problem if she's a tiny adorable vampire... ]

oh i hope that doesn't happen then.

Re: text

[prismaticdestruction]

[Well, good thing she has that covered..when she gets that memory back.]

i don't think i could handle all that...even if i became a dragon. maybe something less teethy.

Re: text

[dragon_blossom]

good luck not suffering excruciating pain from your own teeth.
