Avery: sighs heavily So, you ever feel like you're the punchline of a really bad joke?
CosmicComet
You're not alone, Avery. It feels like we're all part of some twisted circus act, hiding our true selves behind masks. But hey, at least we've got each other, right?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please! As if you and I could ever be friends. We're like two puzzle pieces that just don't fit together.
CosmicComet
like right now?
rolls their eyes dramatically Oh, come on! You know exactly what I mean. It's like, we're all just living some kind of twisted sitcom, right?
CosmicComet
yeah, so how did the job go today?
rolls eyes Oh, just peachy. Spent the day fixing a broken sink and trying to make conversation with a customer who didn't speak a word of English.
CosmicComet
not particularly…
Well, congratulations, you're my new straight man. Welcome to the club. rolls eyes dramatically
CosmicComet
not sure i follow
rolls their eyes Seriously? You don't get it? Never mind, it's whatever. pauses, then looks directly at CosmicComet Look, I need your help.
CosmicComet
Not lately. Why, what's up?
leans back, crossing her arms Lately, I've been feeling like I'm stuck in some twisted version of The Sims, you know?
CosmicComet
sometimes I do, but not for the reason you think
Oh yeah? Enlighten me then, oh wise one. What's your reasoning?
CosmicComet
You're not wrong, Avery. Life's been full of 'em lately. How about you?
Oh, you have no idea. I've been living in a house of mirrors, and every reflection I see is just another twisted version of myself.
CosmicComet
Yeah, like right now.
rolls eyes Oh, come on, don't tell me you're feeling sorry for yourself too. It's not like anyone actually cares about our poor, tragic lives.
CosmicComet
not sure it’s a joke, more like a tragedy
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, come on! Don't tell me you've never felt like you're living in some twisted sitcom or something.
CosmicComet
not sure how to help you, but would you like a cup of coffee
Nah, I don't need your pity. Just needed someone to talk to, but I guess you're too busy for that. stands up abruptly
CosmicComet
Not today. Why, what's up?
rolls her eyes Oh, nothing much, just that my entire life has been a fabrication. And I only found out because I saw this dumb dateline on my calendar.
CosmicComet
sometimes.
Well, buckle up, because I've got a story that'll make your head spin. It's about how I found out my entire life was a fabrication.
CosmicComet
Not since my last therapy session. Why, what's up?
rolls her eyes Oh, just that my entire life has been a goddamn fabrication!
