Max
Diego referred to you as a hunk and I spent like an hour laughing, so that's a nice bit of hilarity to come out of that whole mess. (He's very right, you are.)

Do you think there are other people like us out there? Not necessarily from Wall, or Stormhold--though if Victoria shows up, I will hiss at her, and any witches will immediately get punched in the face--but people living second lives.

Those two things may have nothing to do with one another, but releasing school's hold on my brain has made it so all the other thoughts have room to bounce around like pinballs, I guess.

So Diego accidentally met Max. Downside: It was awful. Upside: Diego later referred to Max as "the hunk at my door" and he is not wrong, my husband soulmate fiance boyfriend is gorgeous.


I love this city, I really do, but if we could pick the whole thing up and move it north a climate zone or two, that would be great. Or just make it like 37% less sticky. That works too.

1. I want to meet Max. 2. Diego should date a hunk. 3. Pics or it isn't true.

1. We will try to fit you in between all the planned nudity. 2. This is the funniest thing I have ever read. Diego would not know what to do with a hunk on so many levels, thank you for bringing me this joy. 3. This is the best I have right now because I don't think he wants me to send the one I sneakily took of his butt.

Look at those eyes!! He looks like he's going to whisper sweet nothings in your ear as he COMPLETELY rails you. I also think it's hilarious, hence, Diego should date a hunk

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

Why do you think I'm spending most of my summer naked? It's not just the heat. 😉 Also please tell Diego this, as I cannot. I do genuinely hope he finds someone though, sooner rather than later. Are you sure you don't want to date him?

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

I love your choices. And I like Diego, but I don't want to date him! He doesn't know what he wants.

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

I know. I hope he figures it out soon, he deserves to be as happy as I am.

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

He might never get over you!

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

That is very, very depressing and I hope it's not true.

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

Me too but he is a sulk.

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

He is, but he’s trying. His good mood the other day was apparently from putting something into motion. He didn’t tell me what, which only makes me more curious, but I know that’s not my place anymore. So I will just quietly root for him from over here like his other friends.

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

I wonder what he put into motion!

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

So do I! But I really don’t know. He said it wasn’t big but that could be true or it could be huge. 

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

But I want to know!

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

I can't help you!

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

I'm going to have to get invested in someone else's life.

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

How about you meet me for coffee and I'll see if I can lure Max there to meet you and then you can spend all this extra energy on being jealous of me instead of being tempted to go all Nancy Drew on Diego.

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

Good idea. That way I won't put all my energy into Ayala either.

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

Oh right, she's back! I should drop by the gym and say hi. But. Is there a reason you shouldn't put all your energy into Ayala? Or, you know, a reasonable amount?

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

You should! We'll get the gang back together. There's no real reason. It just feels like a risky move!

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

Hmm, sounds like something to be dissected over cold, sweet caffeine.

Re: Hanne

[nola_athena]

You can't make me dissect anything but give me iced coffee.

Hanne

[nola_tristan]

I hadn't thought about there being other people like us! But there must be, right? We should be friends with them.

Thanks for noticing, Diego!

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

If only there was some sort of secret handshake so we could all find each other. Accidentally making someone think you're crazy doesn't sound like a very effective way to make friends. Or maybe a too-effective way, for a certain subset of people.

Re: Hanne

[nola_tristan]

We should invent the secret handshake, but I have no idea how we teach it to others

Re: Hanne

[nola_yvaine]

Exactly. This is the fundamental flaw with the secret handshake plan.

Re: Hanne

[nola_tristan]

Maybe we could start a "past lives support group" and just weed out the people who mean it the other way?

[nola_joscelin]

The stickiness is the worst part.

[nola_yvaine]

Arriving to dance class already sweaty is just not pleasant.

[nola_joscelin]

I dance way less in summer. And kitchen dancing is sacred to me.

[nola_yvaine]

Same! In the summer I usually just want to wake up, take a cold shower, and then sit very very still all day.

[nola_joscelin]

Me too! And yet I have to keep living.

[nola_yvaine]

It's very inconvenient. I'll be sure to do my best to wave hello if I come across any other half-melted kindred spirits this summer, in case one of them is you.

[nola_joscelin]

I’ll try to wave back, but I can’t promise I’ll be able to move my arms.

[nola_yvaine]

Exactly. It might be more of a vaguely friendly ripple effect.

[nola_joscelin]

I’ll understand it and appreciate it.
