[ putting their own hat on. samson's muffled yells can be heard underneath it. ]

um.. usually from a restaurant, or a grocery store.. have you never been to one of those before?

『 YOU WANNA FIGHT, PUNK?! 』

no! no fighting!! fukua...!

[ they're looking at her with the biggest most wettest pathetic eyes. ]

『 CHRISTMAS'S A SHAM! 』

but the lights are really pretty... do you think we'll get gifts from santa?

i-i mean..

『 WE AIN'T SHARING. 』

.... good thing i don't have a house, then...?

yaaawn... did i miss much?

『 YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR MONTHS, KID! 』

m— months?! 💧

// hello again my creature #mycreature

// this edit is YEARS old now but its still one of my faves ive ever made

// logs back into this account

well.. the truth is— i don't.. actually know! one day i just woke up and here he was.. the memory's a bit fuzzy for him, too.

[ ...samson is oddly silent. ]

i don't mind..! actually, he's really been helping me a lot! i'd definitely be worse off without him, so i—

『 SO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! 』

n-no, that's not what i was saying at all... 💧

[ they sigh, then try to offer her a small smile. ]

um.. anyway! i'm filia! and this is samson.

[ filia lets her observe, even tilting her own head down so they can get a better view. samson's eyes follow their movements, and it's not long before he pipes up, ]

『 HEY PAL, YOU GOT A PROBLEM? SHE'S OBVIOUSLY FINE. 』

he's harmless most of the time.. 💧

[ a little bit of an embarrassed deer-in-headlights look as she slowly nods, caught. it's not like she can pretend samson isn't there when he's already made himself known.. ]

um.. yes? kind of. a little? it's normal now, but he wasn't always here.

『 YOU'RE RIGHT. WE DON'T— 』

we DO-!! i-i mean, i do! want to talk to you.. you seem like an interesting person! and a friendly face, which is getting a little rare around here to be honest...

[ wasn't actually talking to her but too embarrassed to say they were just sahing that to themself for no reason ]

....yeah, you! ^^ hi. Um.

[ shit what do they say now. ]

// sorry i just wanted to post something on here

errm excheese me?! 😃

// HI. I OFFER MY BOBO BOZO TO YOU

// i need to do more filia edits so i can make one my icon and let her be the black girl i know she is

// filia in the dark world like "wow this is kinda normal as hell compared to where im from"

// sorry i have to find every excuse to combine my interests.

// hold on.... thinking.... possible dark world filia color palettes... WALK WITH ME

[ not even phased by the things going on because weirder shit happens in new meridian every day ]

how old ARE you, actually?

『 ...I FORGOT. 』

how do you forget that sort of thing??

// miranda being all cutesy friendly with filia while beefing with her hair is such a silly thought

... where am i gonna sleep tonight ...

『 AND WHOSE FAULT WAS THAT? 』
