What’s up with the soulmate thing? Like, it seems kind of creepy and invasive. Is it actually that helpful?? Why would you willingly tie yourself to someone else like that???? I don’t get it.

speaking from experience, it helps
it definitely feels weird hearing somebody else in your head
but you get used to it

[bazztard]

Reeealllly not a huge fan of the having somebody else in your head thing. It just seems like a liability

[windsongs]

right??? it's totally weird!
like why would I want somebody else in my head
I bet it's really annoying too if you've got somebody whose emotions are all over the place

[ Hmm. ]

but trust me. the pros way outweigh the cons

[bazztard]

Nice to see that SOMEBODY gets it. My thoughts are nobody else’s business, thanks.

You have a soulmate?

[windsongs]

I do
we're from similar versions of Earth
which still feels weird to type but anyway
we've been there for each other since the day we met so it just made sense

it helps that he knows how to tune me out and showed me how to do it too

[ Way to make it sound like the two of you can't stand each other, Hibiki. ]

[bazztard]

Huh.

I guess it’s probably okay if you actually like the guy, but it’s gotta suck if you don’t. Which, yeah, I’m not sure why somebody would create a bond with someone they hate, but whatever. Lots of stupid people out there.

That’s still a LOT of trust to put in someone, though

[windsongs]

I'm not sure how much it's been talking to you, but shadows are relentless
sometimes it's an any port in a storm situation

yeah we're lucky to have each other
but even if we knew it would be fine, it was still terrifying!
I mean what if you can't turn it off or if it changes you somehow??
but it's been over a month and I'm still me so we're all good 😊

[bazztard]

It doesn’t shut up, but I’ve been able to ignore it. Mostly.
I guess it wouldn’t be the WORST thing ever if having a soulmate helped with it. (But I still don’t like it.)

[ And then, just to be contrary: ]

How do you know you’re still you?

[windsongs]

[ Hibiki types an answer quickly, but she doesn't send it. She knows he means it more related to having a soulmate, but hers isn't the only thing probably living in her head rent free. Her Shadow doesn't count.

She deletes her previous message and types a new one instead. She can't exactly private an anonymous account. Hmm. ]

because I'm talking to you right now

and if you want to try asking me that again to get a different answer, you're welcome to message me directly~ ✨️

[bazztard]

Hey

Hey what does that mean

?????

[ Fine. ]
