Astral Destruction
[ Clementine and Mae appear on the screen. It’s a little girl and a cat girl. They’re standing in a room on the first floor. Clem has a crowbar in her hand, slung over her shoulder. Mae has her trusty baseball bat and a very cat-that-got-the-canary grin on her face.]
Hey, so… Mae told me about how she breaks shit sometimes and how it’s… cathartic? [ that’s the word she used, right? ] And I tried it with a light bulb. It felt pretty damn awesome so we thought it might be cool to have an official place where people could break stuff whenever they needed to deal with bullshit.
[Mae immediately picks up the thread, grinning wide.]
So we are super effing pleased to introduce…The Destruction Room.
[She pans the camera over to the sign on the door. It’s generic and straight to the point. Then she pans the camera around to take in the room. There’s rows of shelves filled with china plates, vases, glass figurines and other fragile-looking items. Along the walls are dozens of light fixtures and free-standing lamps, as well as just a metric ton of lightbulbs, both fluorescent and incandescent. All of it is very precariously displayed and it looks like it wouldn’t take much to just knock some of these shelves right over.]
Isn’t it amazing? We stocked it with everything that could possibly go smash.
[Clementine gestures then to have Mae pan the camera toward the wall on the side which has a giant weapon rack with every blunt weapon imaginable from bats to maces to hammers and more. ]
Over on this wall, we’ve got every blunt weapon you can think of so you can really make the breakables crack into a hundred awesome pieces. Also, it’s on the first floor, room 4 so if you hit yourself in the foot or get glass stuck in your arm or something, the clinic’s right next door.
Yeah, we pretty much thought of everything. Because we’re awesome.
[Mae holds out her hand to Clementine for a high-five. Clementine leans over, high fiving her back, with a smile. Totally awesome. ]
Anyway, yeah, come on down and get your smash on. Work out some of that pre-event anxiety or whatever.

[She drags her hands down her face.] Though that would be nice right now. Maybe after the breaking stuff part.

( Clementine smiles. That's something she hasn't thought to do, step into a room full of stuffed animals. In Wonderland, it'd totally be possible. ) You should make that into an official room, but first come and break all the shit.

[a beat] Thanks, Clem.

Record yourself talking about shit you've been through either writing it down or talking into a recorder.
Spend time with friends.
Break stuff
Drink stuff
Talk to someone else who has been through the same shit
Honestly, it wasn't profound- not any of it, but it helped to know I wasn't alone. I hope it helps you too.
