CLEAR THE AIR FOR NEW YEAR

[seasonsmods]

Hello, everyone~! ⭐

I'm Starlight ✨, here with a public forum post to end the new year with! It's called a confession booth!

Basically, this is your chance to confess something you have been holding back to start the new year off with a clean(er) record!

Oh, and every comment will be automatically anon when posted, so no need to play with settings or anything.

And of course, have a wonderful new years, everyone 💫 I hope to see you more come next year.


Oooh and one more thing. Please don't make any lewd comments on here, okay? If you need to get flirty with your anon buddies, you can make your own post. Much love~ 💕




OOC: This is a mini-minun fun event to end the new years with! Starlight herself won't make any comments or reply to anything. This comment is a free for all, threadjacking is probably a given, please mark if you'd rather avoid getting threadjacked!

Please also keep everything SFW, as this post won't be locked. You can make a secondary post of anon flirting and sexting if that's something you wanna do! A NSFW version has been posted.

Of course any potential triggering confessions should be warned about in the header.

Anon isn't OOCly on, but ICly it's always on. You'd have to hack the settings to be posting with your username.

It was, trust me. But I wasn't the only person who had to deal with it, which made things easier.

You're welcome. Having a purpose in life is always important.

[dereban]

Honestly fair.

My home is pretty normal comparatively speaking, so I'm happy enough with them being back at home.

[dereban]

No kidding. My luck is abysmal.

[dereban]

That much I'm aware of, at least.

[badend_replay]

Yes, I did. My friends and I were finally able to defeat the barrier that stood between us and a proper future. It was because I decided to trust them with an uncomfortable truth that we were able to change it.

I do not know your full circumstances, but I would like to impart that century old knowledge upon you. I would otherwise regret it.

[badend_replay]

Most certainly. The power of a willing and sympathetic ear cannot be overstated.

[badend_replay]

It is an unfortunate truth. Ah, goodness. This conversation took such a turn that I forgot I was worried. Thank you.

[sinfuelheart]

Something like that, yeah. I paid a fine and now the price I paid has been undone. I'm not sure how to feel about it.

[sinfuelheart]

I'm not sure how to judge its relevance. I hurt people back home... That's relevant no matter where I am, right?

[sinfuelheart]

Things have to get messy before they can get better sometimes. But if your friends and you really love each other, then I'm sure you'll both work towards making it better.

I'm cheering for you, stranger!

[sinfuelheart]

I'm sorry that you're going through that. I'd feel pretty helpless if that happened to me. Or, well. I did, back when it did.

I'm not an expert on the magic here, but I had that happen to me back home with my power. It wasn't until I processed what had happened that I could use my power again without freezing up. Have you tried talking to someone?

[sinfuelheart]

It was soo annoying. I had to become that butthead's friend from zero again. But it made me so sad at first!

[sinfuelheart]

I don't want to force anyone to give up being anonymous, but I do wish we could do something to help. Maybe it would be healthy to do this sort of anonymous posting more often and give people a chance to realize people will listen to them kindly? I certainly feel a bit braver after seeing people be so kind to each other.

[Frieda has to agree to that first part. When has the world ever not been cruel? Its beauty makes human life bearable, but complete happiness can never be achieved.

With this other person having attained knowledge of a future yet to come, much like her, she truly feels that she has found one of the few people who can fully understand her struggle - and that makes the reminder of how quickly any of them could be send back home without notice loom over her all the more threateningly. Her destiny is with her people, there's no doubt about that... but she doesn't feel prepared for what's to come, not when the revelations hurt her heart so much.

She wants to share her own distorted sense of time, how she knows events from centuries ago as if she personally witnessed them, but she's worried of the risk, however small, that that information might give her away to others.]

I'd like to speak with you further, but I don't want to identify myself here. Might you be willing to share your username with me so I can contact you in private?

[It's a lot to ask, but this person has been willing to share the name of their world, along with potentially identifying details, so she has cause to hope. She can never divulge the secrets of her world to any of her countrymen, much less to her innocent sister, but the weight has been feeling all too heavy ever since she learned of her family's impending end.]

[anenemies]

This is just out of curiosity, and nothing more. But how do you know so much, Mysterious Stranger?

[bigporkenergy]

Completely exhausting.

The worst thing is, I can never tell what the thing that sets it off is going to be. I can avoid the major ones that I know about, but then a sound or something I see or even a damn SMELL hits wrong, and it starts all over again.

It's like the list of things to avoid just keeps getting longer, and the list of safe things gets shorter and shorter.

[bigporkenergy]

Yeah, it does suck like that.

It doesn't help when even this world keeps messing with us and forcing some of this shit in our faces. It's better than my world, but how can you prevent the bad things from happening when you don't know what's coming? At least back home, I had some idea of what to expect.

[roundandaround]

Hm... Yeah, that makes sense! I'll do my best for everyone! Wait, what if I also have other stuff I can't tell them because they'd be sad or weirded out?

[roundandaround]

Maybe it just only applies where you were? Like if it were a literal fine, like a speeding ticket, you wouldn't also get a ticket from the government here, right?

[chiefkeyward]

[This is a lot to ask of a stranger, especially given the morbid nature of the subject. While Lahabrea finds solace in anonymity, he is concerned that he has spoken too much. Anyone of his peers could easily figure out his identity here, but he doesn't seem concerned. What could they possibly say to console him at this point? Nothing. According to Etheirys' new champion, what was predestined to happen has already happened. So what's the point of caring what other people think of him? They've already made their erroneous assessments about him, and he's not in the market to change their minds.

Lahabrea will always speak his mind, no matter what others may think of him. He's blunt and stubborn at times—very stubborn. It's a flaw that plagues him all the way through the throes of madness.]

If you wish to speak with me further, then seek out the orator for that is who I am. Let us hope I will not regret this decision.

[To be honest, he needs a confidant. Someone who is not from his world, someone who is not a reflection of his Star. This grumpy old man, it goes without saying, has no friends. Lahabrea is a stern and intimidating figure.]

[chiefkeyward]

Expressing oneself is a legitimate way to find solace. However, I fear that many of us here are reluctant to speak such truths in public.

We are guided by cowardice.

[hometown]

I know what you mean. I try to push through and make myself tolerate it. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it makes everything that much worse.

This might sound weird, but I've found one thing that helps. Physical stuff. Reminders that I can touch and bring myself back. Like centering myself before a fight. That's sorta what it is, you know? The fight is just in my head.

I don't know if it would work for you. But it could be worth a shot.

[urtitan]

[The last part of his message is a little intimidating, but Frieda isn't about to shrink away from reaching out to a person who isn't from her world yet in such a similar predicament. What's the worst that can happen? If they do find her unworthy of their time, they'll surely tell her as much.

Before long, Lahabrea will receive her message.]

[bigporkenergy]

I’m starting to wonder how long I can keep pushing. It feels like if I keep forcing it, I’m going to

I don’t know

Reach a point where I just can’t anymore

Where I light on fire and can’t stop it, and I’m just

Burned away

[saltofthesea]

[ He opts not to ask her what she means by circumstances, because he realises that's a little prying even in an anonymous space. ]

Kind of like that, yeah. It's nice that there's so much more open space here, but sometimes I miss the streets being more like hallways...
