Ladies and gentleman, I have a wonderful announcement to make.

[ let's preface this announcement by stating that Rachel doesn't like drama, or Big Scary Threats, not when she can't help fix it. she doesn't like being in a crummy mood, she doesn't like being sorta-mad at her friends, and she definitely doesn't like sitting in her room moping about those kinds of things. nope! so when any combination of those things happens to her, she tends to.. act out. nothing violent, or harmful, just-- reckless. and the people from her world might know that by now, but anyone really paying attention might notice she seems nervous, and it has nothing to do with her announcement. who threatens baby turtles?! seriously! ]

After being here for a couple months, I've come to realize that I, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, can date again. Back home I was off the market for various oath-related reasons, but now? Here? None of that stuff counts.

So, c'mon then!

Who wants to take me out on a really cool date?

[ please let there be people on this turtle that, like her, can't handle constantly focusing on the negative and need to get out for a distraction instead ]

What's so bad about it. She's cute. It's something to do. She seems nice, too. Nice is good.

Yeah, she's cute! And she seems really nice, and funny.

But...again. Like I said to Scott. She's not Lydia. And that's not fair to Rachel.

... She's not Lydia? You're not with Lydia.

[He is literally making this face at you: ]

Never mind. Just...stop. Please.

[bereavements]

No. You're going to push me and do stupid shit like wandering into the arch of death and now you're going to listen. It's a crush. It has been for years, right? Real deep feelings? But, she's not here. As far as we know, she never will be. And this girl, she's available and nice. Lydia is screwing the psycho alpha. You guys, yeah, you're friends. [ Finally or whatever. ] Maybe one day you'll be more. But, you can't just sit there obsessed with the idea. My advice, move on.

[He sits there. He listens to it. He takes it. And he doesn't hang up. He just sorta...deflates. Like a sad little balloon. And then he looks away.]

...Your opinion on this has been noted.
