Realistic or Modern OOC: Santa Monica Home for Boys and Girls [Reboot!]

[Edric Blight]

Thank you. It really sucks man, it's a new thing for me I started experiencing depression in around October I think, so RPing has been helping to temporarily cope with that. Thank you for your support.

And yep, I had a feeling our RP was luxurious and a rare glorified foster home with fancy meals and great staff, but that’s the fun part for this type of RP.

 

[KaiMedia]

Hey no problem man and I know I am just some stranger on the internet but if you ever want to talk about anything or just to vent feel free to hit me up.

 

[Edric Blight]

Aww thanks man I appreciate it. I will keep that in mind my friend, thank you.

 

[Dawnstar]

Yeah I've heard some stories before. I know this is not realistic in the slightest.
But to be honest this is just fun escapism. I love the story we're telling.

It's probably one of things I look forward to the most in a day is seeing that notification bell lit up and it was one of you having posted.

 

[Edric Blight]

Exactly. It's a fun way to escape. It's a really fun story and a good stress reliever.

Also aww, I totally agree with that!

 

[Dawnstar]

I'll have a post up for Ev' in the next hour Edric Blight just got off work.

 

[Edric Blight]

Nice nice, no rush. I'm once again quite busy today, but I'll have time for one or two posts.

Looking forward as always to seeing the next post. I love the two interactions we have going on simultaneously right now.

 

[Edric Blight]

Well, look at that, perfect timing! I was able to get a post up!

 

[KaiMedia]

Hey hey jist to let ya know i probably wont be able to get a post up until tomorrow

 

[Dawnstar]

Is everything okay on your end? With you, partner and Liam?

Did notice you seemed to go quiet on DMs suddenly which yeah. Last time few times things happened.

 

[KaiMedia]

Oh Liam is just having a hard and very emotional couple of days. He’s just tired of chemo and feeling like crap and its stressing him out and hes been breaking down a lot so we are just trying to help him through this rough patch.

Its just a lot for anyone let alone someone his age ya know and im just surprised it has taken this long for everything to really reach a head

 

[Dawnstar]

Oh I totally understand. I cannot even start to imagine how hard this must be on him.
Liam both taking the physical stress of the chemo on his body, and the I imagine social stress of what I can only imagine takes a lot of time likely pulling him out of school. Plus the fears about his own health. Plus as he's expressed before the emotional weight of seeing you and your partner stressed on his behalf. Of knowing your worrying about him.

Take all the time you need!
Just when I suddenly noticed our conversation stop abruptly, I kinda assumed something had happened IRL. (either that or I'd written too much in the last bit and scared you away)

I know im also just some face on the Internet but if there is anything I can do to help let me know. Otherwise, again take as much time as you need.

 

[KaiMedia]

Yeah he had called from school shortly after lunch just balling his eyes out cause he threw up his lunch in the middle of class. And all of his friends were so worried about him and trying to help him. He apparently hadn’t told any of them that he was sick cause he doesn’t want everyone worried about him all the time but that went out the window and clearly that was enough to finally break the camels back for him.

He’s just been so emotional since then. But i think the hardest part for me was when he apologized for being such a sick kid last night he told me that He knows this isnt what we signed up for when we agreed to take him in and that we shouldn’t have to deal with a kid who is sick and might die. That broke my heart right there.

But hey I appreciate the support i really do and just being able to talk about some of it sometimes is plenty of help so I appreciate that i know we don’t really know each other so you guys have no reason to be there and listen (or read lol) but you guys never complain and always offer your support and i cant tell you how much that means to me.

Also no matter how much you write you will never scare me off.

 

[Dawnstar]

Honestly just reading that makes my heart want to break. It just makes me want to give him a huge hug. *you better have already done that, like a bigilion and one times*
The fact he was trying to hide it from everyone and power on, I mean I get it. He doesn't want to be seen as different. He doesn't want to be the "sick kid".

I'm always here if you want to vent, or talk. Feel free to scrap whatever we talk about in our DMs if needed.
We're here for both of you.

As for not scaring you off, you can say that but - doesn't stop my brain naturally panicking Not your fault. I just get anxious when I don't get a reply wondering if I screwed up. XD No hard feelings though. I get it. I know its a dumb reaction.

 

[KaiMedia]

OH trust me he has had an endless supply of hugs and cuddles and kisses and I love you s from both me and my husband.

Yeah I am in the same boat as you like I get it not wanting to be looked at differently but man I just can't imagine. It was just soo heartbreaking.

I appreciate it I am sure I need to vent/ talk more than I do but I will try and keep it in mind.

also yeah I get it I can get worried about stuff like that too sometimes

 

[Dawnstar]

Oh and Kai, I shouldn't need to say this but - the reason we don't complain. Atleast speaking for myself is, I like to think even over the internet with the months on months of RPing like this that we're friends at this point. I'm sure if thing started falling apart around me you'd be just as empathetic and supportive.

If either you and Liam have a problem or want an opinion on, I'll try help! Or at least listen. You'll have to keep handling the hugs and cuddles part.

 

[KaiMedia]

Thank you I appreciate it. I definitely think of you guys as friends as well and am glad you feel the same way I have just always had a hard time feeling like anyone wants to listen to my problems and always feel like I am inconveniencing people when I share or vent. And I am definitely here for you guys as well if you ever needed me to be.

yeah thanks your support feels great even this conversation has really been helping me feel a bit better. Talking does feel good.

 

[Dawnstar]

Well I'm glad this conversation has helped.
Seems like Liam thinks a lot like you though, not wanting to share his problems with others. Trying to bottle them up to not trouble people.

Talking is good. Or typing. Just chatting with you on here, brainstorming and reading your posts makes me feel a lot better as well after some crappy days, or I'll get post notifications while im at work and it helps me get through the day. So please never feel like your being an inconvenience, you're presence here is just as comforting to us.

 

[KaiMedia]

Yeah your probably right. I try and be different than my parents and encourage him to be open and let him know he can always come to me. But clearly actions speak louder than words. And clearly that is something I need to work on with myself if I want him to be more comfortable with it and see that its okay to talk about how he's feeling and problems

 

[Dawnstar]

I hope you dont take me commenting on that the wrong way. You both clearly care a lot about others, doing it with a good heart if you mean to or not. So not trying to critisize!

Just noticed the similar behavior.

 

[KaiMedia]

OH no your fine I realize where you are coming from no hurt feelings or anything It just caused me to do a little self reflecting ya know?
made me realize that probably part of the reason he tried to just power on through it was probably partly due to him seeing how I am and mimicking how I deal with things.

 

[Dawnstar]

He seems like a sweet little champ, but dont let him burn himself out.

Anyway its like super late here. So im gonna head to bed. G'nite.

 

[KaiMedia]

I'm keeping my best eye on him trying to keep him going.

well you have a good night

 

[Dawnstar]

Started a post for Ev' but not gonna be able to finish it till a bit later!

Will have it up by the end of tonight.

 

[Edric Blight]

All good. Thanks for letting me know.
