[ oh no, oh no, oh no. robin is now convinced that chloe's gotten the wrong idea -- that robin doesn't like it when girls flirt with girls, that robin is one of them, one of the people who hate her.
and who, it seems, also hate chloe. and that's the other thing that robin can't quite process: that there's another person here who's like her. that for the first time, when it comes to liking girls, robin isn't alone. ]
yeah it's okay this is going to sound really stupid
[ five minutes pass before robin sends the next message, as robin agonizes over whether or not to send it at all. ]
i didn't know there was someone else here who did that too
She feels a wave of relief come off her, followed by that deep stab of empathy. She's known that feeling of isolation all too well, both at home and here. ]
it doesn't sound stupid, dude honest
this place isn't exactly san fransisco or anything, but there's a couple of girls like us here or well kind of anyway. most of them seem to also like guys, so if you're bi it'll be real easy to find someone to relate to and w/e
[ Not so much otherwise, she's found, but c'est la vie. ]
that's good to know about the other real people? i wasn't planning on speaking to a single one of those weird smiling ladies i don't trust any woman who puts her hair in rollers
[ robin reads the conversation and is DEEPLY embarrassed that clarisse called her a "damsel in distress." that's not the vibe she was trying to give off at all! ]
thanks she's cool
she saved me from an eternal piggy fate by singing an offspring song to me i was really kinda hoping she'd forget about that though it was super embarrassing steve i was a pig in a sailor suit
