>You don't know. You're confused. You want to be better than this, but you don't know how. Everyone here seems to have problems that are a lot worse than yours. ...But that doesn't mean yours don't matter. It doesn't mean they don't have a tangible effect on you. >Currently, what do you want out of life? Can you imagine yourself in a future where you're content with things? You'd like to, but you don't want to be too optimistic... But it'd be nice to feel satisfied with where you're at, instead of constantly afraid of the future. Are you too hard on yourself? Your parents tell you you're too hard on yourself, but you always took it as them babying you. -you look like you want to say something>Maybe ask? Where do I start? Maybe she can help. "I-I don't want to be like this!"
"I want to...st...stop beating myself up..."
"Am I really l-l-like this? Am I really...so s-spiteful...?" "But I don't...kn...know where t-to...start..." People will regurgitate things about loving yourself. Like love and happiness and self-satisfaction are just things you can produce out of thin air. -take your timeYou can't do that. You know you can't do that.
-i know youre getting thereCAN you get there?  "I...I need to..."Perhaps the first step is... "...Accept myself."  |

"Wh-what's going on?"-you dont need to be here anymore
-this experiment is over for you "Eep!"-you need to go"Does it h-have to be so v-v-violent??" -cherry please"But I want to t-talk to you more!"-im always there
-now hurry>Rick: Be secretly proud. Then be outwardly proud. "She's right. Let's go!"
"And also...congratulations." "I'd offer you a hug too, but let's get out of here first, okay? We can't let the door get blocked!""R...right!" |

>Go towards the light (that is undoubtedly behind that door) You both head down the hill.  It's a strange feeling. You have your whole life ahead of you. The future is so terrifying, and yet...it's full of possibilities. >skedaddle You can't help but smile. As freaky as this whole situation is, you think you've made a friend today. You'll keep in touch. He'll help you.  After all, he has his insecurities too. A guy like him has insecurities! You always knew such people existed, but it's another thing to meet someone like that yourself. A reassuring thing.  Perhaps you can--   |

Oh geez, Rick's gone and disappeared. Most likely fallen into that cliff over there...
Do you risk jumping into the abyss? Are you ready for that?

FYI: Dropbox is removing its public folder feature next March, which is how I kind of, er, host this whole comic. I'm going to be moving back to Photobucket for image links (fun fact: the comic started off this way!) and slowly replacing URLs on the mirror site one by one, hopefully in time before the Dropbox URLs all break. There should be nothing noticeable on the mirror during this transition, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to do the same for forum posts. It'd be more work for me, and I really doubt people are catching up only via this thread given how the old MSPA forum threads don't exist anymore. Guess we'll wait and see when March comes? >He just tripped, right? He's fine! >Cherry: PANIC "Rick!!">Cherry: Is there enough time to try and save Rick? "Wh...what are you doing?""We have to g-get out of here! We have to...we have to g-g-go!" "C'mon, Cherry, stop it. Get out of here before we both get crushed.""But--!""I'll be fine. This is all fake stuff, anyway...Just get out of here knowing you did what you came here for.">Cherry: Succumb to unfathomable brokenheartedness. "It..."
"It doesn't matter! You're my friend! I c-can't...leave you...!""Cherry!"

Hey Jove, have you tried imgur? It's a good choice if you feel iffy about photobucket.
With that said though...
Rick: Give Cherry your best regards before sending her off.

Imgur's my second choice. I prefer Photobucket because it keeps all my filenames the same--editing links on the mirror is as easy as Ctrl + F and Ctrl + V. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Sorry for the delay! It was mostly due to the holiday season (as well as, uh, a newfound Pocket Card Jockey addiction). I have to prepare for Ohayocon next week, so the next update will be delayed as well. After that, however, the update schedule should return to normal. Thanks for sticking with me! |

>Ava: try and tell Quin how it's not so bad the second time, how it seemed like your shadow just wanted you to acknowledge some stuff?? "So, uh...""Yeah?""I did my little test-thing again...with the shadow stuff. It was really scary, but I...did it! I think?" "You just gotta, like, listen to it, y'know?"Oh really. "I think you should try again! And there was a lot of us there the last time...maybe it'd be better with just the two of us. More breathing room, or something. Less pressure? Uh...">Quin: resist the urge to tell Ava that's easy for HER to say since her shadow was just a needy wimp shut up shut up shut up shut UP "...could discover something..."Was she even PAYING ATTENTION the last time? Is she an idiot? She's an idiot! "...it'll be fun!..."Not EVERYONE has an inner SNIVELING BABY, Ava dearie.  No no no no it's not--her problems are different. That's all. They're different. They're DIFFERENT and have NOTHING to do with yours so why should you even CARE and god why does she just keep TALKING to you and She's just trying to cheer you up. Isn't she? Is she? You hate it! You hate her! Why do you have to keep looking at her? Why can't she just go away?! You'd feel SO much better if she just wasn't here. Ever. SHE'S JUST TRYING TO BE NICE you're a monster.  Stop. Breathe. Breathe! Don't freak out in front of her! "...and...um..."Haven't you said enough stupid shit to her in one night? Does she deserve it, really? What's wrong with you? Why are you so mad at her all the time? Why does this keep happening?! "Quin?"but you have to respond to her YOU HAVE TO RESPOND |

Quin: Attempt to explain what's been bugging you without throwing a fit over it. (I mean, you feel pressured to get over it like they did.)

>Just say you're not feeling very talkative right now. "I just...don't know what to say. But I don't want to go, and that's that!">tell her you understand her trying to help but that she doesn't get what it's like for you You keep your voice to a mumble. "...You just don't get it...">Ava: You feel super conflicted about your own sister, don't you? Maybe that's kinda how Quin feels about you? What? Why? You barely even know each other! What could you have done to upset her? This isn't right... But... You don't want to push the issue...  |

> Quinn: Maybe easing up on being so judgmental is why this situation isn't resolving itself? It's almost like you don't want to understand her for the sake of saying she doesn't understand or care about your problems.

>This has literally never happened before??>Ask for details, but gently. "But...what? You barely even know me!"
"What brought this on...? Uh, if I may ask..." "Well...it's...y'know...""No, I don't?""Ah, well..." "You're just so..."
"...pretty?""Oh. Um..." "I'm...flattered, but...I mean..."
"It's kind of all I have going.""Oh come on." "No, I'm serious. All I have is a crappy waitress job. I flunked out of college. I don't really have a future. What more do you want me to say?"You remember hearing something like that. "Er, I, uh, jeez, I...Sorry."
"Sorry. Sorry for bringing it up. This was stupid. Forget it." "It's just hard not to look in the mirror and...just...hate myself. I'm sorry. God, you don't need this, and I'm being a bitch, and.." |
