egg raising - AlcheME!

[idolpro]

[ Your cavern offshoot is still rather spacious, even with a human-sized egg pressed to the farthest cave wall. It's also surprisingly accommodating: the ground here is carpeted with lush rugs as well as pillows and blankets.

The egg is surrounded by a number of colorful smooth stones, most small enough to hold in one palm. There are eight colors in total, though multiple of each color. Hold a stone and you'll be compelled to speak honestly about the corresponding emotion.

You'll quickly find that your offshoot seems to have reduced echo, or perhaps even sound muffling—from here, you can't hear anyone from any other unit offshoot, and you suspect they can't hear you, either. ]

It's so fun when people think they know better than you about your past and your feelings.

[doublefried]

Especially when you're telling them, and they act like you're lying to them! Like, come on. If you're not gonna believe what I say why are we talking at all?

[featherbeaned]

Augh, that.

"You need to talk about this." Literally I do not, it already happened and talking isn't gonna change it! If I thought talking would help I wouldn't need someone else to tell me to do it.

You and the others got it right that one time - you know, when I took a few and you all just brought me snacks? You nailed it.

[doublefried]

Sometimes you just need a snack to deal with processing! Like, I've talked about them before... and sometimes it does help to set your head right, but usually if I don't start talking about it it's because I don't want to, y'know?

[featherbeaned]

[ nods emphatically ]

The important thing, I'd say, is asking ... Like! Like, there's such a difference between, "you need to talk" and "do you want to talk", isn't there?

[doublefried]

Yeah! There's 'hey, do you want to discuss how you feel about this?', and then there's sort of sliding up, assuming you know what the deal is, and then bothering the person until they act the way you think they should be acting.
