[...my god, she was kind of giggling at the absurdity of the message]

Uhhh what's this all about?

I'm a 'spooky slut' huh? Did you actually send this to twelve other people??

Re: Text

[bakudan_bambino]

Dorian sent it to me

So I’m a spooky slut, too

And yeah you’re one of 12

[dolphinkicks]

...Seriously?
I don't think I even know that many people here. You must be really popular!

[bakudan_bambino]

I get around

Wouldn’t exactly call it popularity

[dolphinkicks]

I would!
You're funny, handsome, kind... you're definitely popular Dera even if you don't think so.

[bakudan_bambino]

Thanks.

I know I'm likable, but I wouldn't say it's the same as being popular, Tifa.

[dolphinkicks]

I would.

I wish I could be like you.

[bakudan_bambino]

How so? What’s holding you back?

I can and will help you overcome whatever is in your way.

[dolphinkicks]

I don't know. Myself?

I just care too much about what other people think. Maybe.

[bakudan_bambino]

You do know. If you're the one holding you back, then what are you doing or saying to yourself that's making it difficult to gain more friends?

It's alright to care.

[dolphinkicks]

That everyone hates me? Or everyone thinks I'm annoying, or difficult to be around. Things like that.

How much I care is something I hate about myself.

Sorry- topic got a bit heavy. It's just how I feel.

[bakudan_bambino]

Things like that you are telling yourself. No one else has ever said that, I hope. If they do, they are not worth being around.

It is good to care, but not about people who don't treat you well. At the end of the day you only have yourself, you know? If anyone should be kind to you, it's you.

I don't mind. Feel however you like.

[dolphinkicks]

It's just pressure I put on myself. It's a hard habit to get over, since Nibelheim.

Thanks, that's why you're the best, Dera.

[bakudan_bambino]

Well! Allow me to reassure you that no one else can hear those things you think about yourself, and hardly anyone worth a damn thinks them or would agree with you.

Do you think pressuring yourself helps you? Maybe we could come up with some affirmations together.

- 'Everyone hates me' could be 'I'm loved'
- 'Everyone thinks I'm annoying' could be 'I'm friendly' or... something? What do you think others find about you that is annoying?
- 'I'm difficult to be around' could be 'I'm wanted and appreciated'

No, Tifa. I'm just me

[dolphinkicks]

[No one had ever really tried that sort of method before with her, to get her to think differently.]

That's... all actually pretty good advice. Thank you.

Just making sure- you want and appreciate me, don't you?

[bakudan_bambino]

Yes, and I'm not the only one

[dolphinkicks]

And you wouldn't lie. Right?

[bakudan_bambino]

I wouldn't lie.

[dolphinkicks]

Thanks Dera, you always know just what to say to me. It's why I like you.

[bakudan_bambino]

Ah I enjoy talking with you. I like you too, Tifa.

[topturk]

Tifa, this is Tseng.
You have something that I want.
I have a proposition for you.

un: 7thheaven

[dolphinkicks]

What do I have that you could possibly want?

[suspicious...]

Re: un: 7thheaven

[topturk]

A certain skill and patience.
Would you be amenable to meeting up?

[ She has every right to be suspicious but this isn't anything seedy! ]

[dolphinkicks]

Alright...
I guess we can.
When and where?

[Via courier, Tifa gets a set of cat paw shaped knuckle dusters along with a voucher to go get a massage, pedi, and mani at a cute lil spa in the city.]

text; un: 7thheaven

[dolphinkicks]

Thank you so much, Ruby!!
I'd want you to come with me to the spa, though! Doesn't feel right going without you.

[aididitmyway]

don't worry!!
i'll totally go with you
we're gonna look AND feel amazing~

[topturk]

There is a place in the Up, I believe they have everything we might need there.
I'll send you the location pin and you can tell me a time and date, yes?

[dolphinkicks]

Alright.
I'll be waiting for your text then.

[she's gonna try to get along with Tseng, so that's a start at least!]
