Molly Nichel (SC) @princessred · Dec 3 i've also been getting these infrequent headaches. i think something's wrong with me #migraines

Molly Nichel (SC) @princessred · Dec 3 i hope the weather gets nicer so we can have our ghost hunt #systemcrash #trucytheenabler

[ooc: not even an hour after the first tweet goes up, it is taken down. the other two are added later on during the day]

[Kido is rapping on Molly's door pretty much immediately after seeing her tweet.]

Hey. Molly?

it's all good!

[nandemonai]

[Molly made her first tweet as soon as she got up, right before going down to eat breakfast. it surprises her a little when Kido knocks on her door. she's just finished getting dressed]

Oh, hey, Kido. [she looks up while tugging on one of her boots, giving the other member of System Crash a sleepy smile]

[blindfoldcode]

[Does Kido sleep in a hoodie? It appears that she does because she's wearing one with pajama pants oops??? (It means she doesn't have to brush her hair yet it is a total mess underneath the hood.)]

You feeling okay?

[nandemonai]

[that's really, terribly cute! Molly sits up straight in her seat, pushing back some of her red hair over her shoulder]

Um, I guess... Just had some really weird dreams last night.

[blindfoldcode]

About having a different name or something?

[nandemonai]

[blink!] Yeah... Guess you saw my tweets...?

[for some reason, that makes Molly feel happy, that people are actually reading about her updates. she didn't use her account very often, but it seems like a good idea now] Since I joined System Crash, I've gotten so many followers.

[blindfoldcode]

[She closes her eyes and nods, bowing her head and raising a hand to her hair, as if she's thinking about something. Then she looks up again with a dead serious expression.]

Be careful what you make public.

[nandemonai]

[wh-whoa! Molly's excited smile fades instantly. then she looks concerned]

You... Do you think what I put was bad?

[blindfoldcode]

[She doesn't want to blame Lesedi. Lesedi was trying to help. She gave her her shot, she took care of her family. She didn't ask much of them really. What had happened, as it sits in Kido's chest like a physical weight, had been her fault. It must have been. But Kido was already locked into her fate. She'd known it for weeks, now. Molly didn't have to be.]

Not bad. Just... [She knew she wasn't alone. Tiger and Momo were going through the same thing, weren't they? That wasn't their fault--which is weird because she understands that. Because she wants to get Momo out of Virgo in case she gets hurt, and she'd take a damn bullet for Tiger, even if he was having the same weird memories that she felt guilty for. She doesn't want Molly to deal with that.] ... People will see. They might start asking questions.

[nandemonai]

[now that Kido has said something, Molly thinks about it for herself. she recalls what she said about the tabloids, about how they could destroy a person]

...I guess I never thought that asking questions could be a bad thing. [she looks at her phone. what started out as excitement for having all those new followers turns into fear. these people could potentially use whatever she says to harm her, could twist her words, could use her words to hurt her bandmates]

[blindfoldcode]

[Kido's fear has nothing to do with the general public. She tries to offer a comforting smile.]

It's hard to get used to. But that's why we're here. [She's got your back. She will try to prevent you from going to the weird machine thing that haunts her nightmares.]

[nandemonai]

[Molly continues staring at her phone, and then she looks back up at Kido. Kido just said that the band was here for her, so surely she knew more about what to say and not say on twitter]

What do you think I should do? [Molly's not sure how her recent tweets could get misconstrued, but she doesn't want to find out for herself]

[blindfoldcode]

If you want my real advice, I'd take it down. I'd be careful in the future, too. You never know what's going to end up on the radar.

[nandemonai]

[real advice was definitely what Molly was looking for, and she nods at Kido's suggestion before scrolling through her phone. she finds the tweet right away and deletes it]

I don't know how many people saw it already. But it's gone. [sigh! being a famous person is hard! she looks back up at Kido again, smiling sadly] I promise to be more careful.

[blindfoldcode]

It's okay. [She returns her own smile. A friendly one. A familial one? Like she's looking at a sibling (which is what she considers the rest of the band to be, even Molly).] I just want to make sure you don't get yourself into trouble.

[nandemonai]

[that smile does wonders to untie the knot in Molly's gut, and she relaxes her shoulders, nodding again]

Yeah... Thanks for looking out for me. [and for all of System Crash really]

[blindfoldcode]

I'd be a shitty friend if I didn't. [She shrugs.] I've had people look out for me in the past. We all need it sometimes.

[nandemonai]

[awww! Kido said they were friends! for some reason, that makes Molly really happy. friendships mean... a lot to her...

without thinking about it too hard, she moves in to hug the other woman!]

[sponsorigami]

[ Even if Ivan can't find evidence of their conversation digitally (because it has mysteriously vanished), Ivan remembers telling Trucy to be careful about ghosts. That hashtag is not encouraging. ]

Ivan Karelin (FoB) @ikarelin_hana · Dec 03 @princessred don't crash / leave the bones where they shall lie / so flowers may grow

[blindfoldcode]

[Oh jesus. She's not great when Trucy hugs her. She's still not great when Molly does. It takes her a second to realize what's going on before she pats the other girl's shoulder kinda awkwardly...????

How do you... show of affection via physical contact?????????]

[sailorlaughter]

Pinkie's just going to ignore that tweet, but next time she sees Molly in one of the common areas of their place, she'll bounce up and flop down next to her.

"Hey! How's it going?"

[nandemonai]

[whoops! she got a little excited there. Molly pulls away after a quick hug, so that things don't get too awkward. crisis averted!]

Let's go get some breakfast!

[nandemonai]

[omg omg omg ivan karelin responded to one of her tweets! with song lyrics! Molly doesn't know how to reply]
