[What were the things that made her happy?

She racked her brain, pulling ideas out one by one, straining against the cobwebs of her lazy thoughts.

Maybe happiness is a muscle. You have to tend to it, work on it, keep it healthy and limber. You find the things that make you smile and practice those passions, before you forget why it is they cheered you up and buoyed you throughout the day.

And after a long time of disuse, you find that the happiness you used to have is out of reach. Before you know it, it's been weeks or months. Too long.

But you start small, go easy, work those muscles back into form. Day by day. Thought by thought. With determination and a single-mindedness that shuts the darker things away.

Baby steps down a long road.]

I think I actually went home for a day.

It's all kind of muddled up in my head. Sorta like a reverse-vacation.

A noitacav!

So... what's new? ...Besides the lizardly adjustments.

Oh that... I would have said watery I guess. I wasn't sure if it would stay but it's been here for a while now with how fast things change here. That's good.

[mypartnerintime]

Well i

I mean i went with lizardly cuz of bill the lizard

But I think you got that already and i probably dont have to explain it huh. :|

[Fortunately whoever this person is can't see her embarrassed wince behind her phone.]

No complaints here about the change in scenery. Its way overdue. Plus lakes are pretty awesome.

[sweartoyou]

I'm surprised you remembered him. He wasn't a very big part... I forgot until you said it.

[Poor Max, doesn't know Ray tends to not judge, even if she sounds like it. How could she really judge someone she knows nothing about, though?]

I guess if you've been here a while that would be the case. I've never been to a lake before but I think this one is okay.

[Poor Max indeed! Her default state hovers constantly between 'akward' and 'insecure'.]

Oh are you one of the new people?

Yeah its ok... peaceful! :) Which goes a long way.

[sweartoyou]

I've been here for a few weeks. It was during the time all the mirrors were on this side of your noitacav wasn't during that time.

I imagine some people don't think so. I wasn't here, but there must be some that drowned when there was the flooding event that don't like large bodies of water anymore.

[mypartnerintime]

the noitacav was right after that. I think.

...I didnt think of that...

[To her it was totally just a lake. It saddens her to think how Wonderland can turn something peaceful like that into something ominous.]

[sweartoyou]

It isn't wrong to just think of it as peaceful. I just had the thought.

I haven't seen a lake in a while so I like it too.

[mypartnerintime]

ditto..

its kinda... wild and naturey and comfortable all at the same time. ^_^

I really hope doesn't lead up to some crazy shit. :\

[sweartoyou]

It's Wonderland. I think it will in some way. We can still enjoy it until then?

[mypartnerintime]

sure with a massive axe hanging over us the whole time

but yeah. No point pretending it isn't there...
