.... My name's Valerie. Remember? Your daughter?

My voice isn't that high pitched.
what is that incessant high-pitched squeaking sound that seems to be following me wherever i go
November 12, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Valerie wouldn't know. She opened her mouth to say that... But then simply closed it.

She then turned back to the television.

"Sure." She said, simply. Letting the subject drop for now. "Y'know, I like the, uh... What do you call it? Art style?"
He shrugs.

“Yeah… but like, high school, right?”

Richie leans towards the TV again.

“Do… you wanna continue watching?”
"Do people laugh at your pain a lot?"

She asked, earnestness obvious in her expression. She was worried about him.

Wrapping a blanket around herself.

She HATES the cold.
November 10, 2025 at 8:47 PM
... Yeah, I get that a lot.
You are sickening.
That's okay.

I care enough for the both of us!

"Do people laugh at your pain a lot?"

She asked, earnestness obvious in her expression. She was worried about him.
“Oh.”

His anger quickly turns into a flush of embarrassment. Richie looks away again, biting his lip.

“Sorry. I kinda assumed you would just… laugh at me I guess?”
"No! It was your question that made me laugh."

She looked up at him finally, eyebrows furrowing.

"I just wasn't expecting it, that's all."
November 10, 2025 at 7:04 PM
Leaning against a wall, eyes squeezed shut.

She's pale and shaking.

I hear you.
I just do not care for you.
Maybe you should get a test done. 'Cause I don't think you're hearing me correctly.
November 9, 2025 at 4:45 AM
Maybe you should get a test done. 'Cause I don't think you're hearing me correctly.
Eons ago. Why?
. . . Sir, when was the last time you had your hearing checked? Just out of curiosity?
November 7, 2025 at 11:26 PM
Falling asleep with her head on the reader's shoulder.

"No! It was your question that made me laugh."

She looked up at him finally, eyebrows furrowing.

"I just wasn't expecting it, that's all."
Richie turns red at first, and then reaches over to pause the anime.

"So me getting hurt makes you -- it makes you laugh?!"
Valerie couldn't help it. She started to laugh. She placed her cup to the side so she could bury her face in her knees to muffle it.

"I guess it depends on your definition?" She said between giggles. "It doesn't upset me when people hurt me, that's all. But this isn't about me! It's about you!"

"I mean yeah, he stuffs me in lockers and throws me in trash cans and swirlies me in the toilet and..."

Richie frowns.

"Wait. Have you... never been bullied before?"
None of this seems to make sense to her, if her expression is anything to go by. Or maybe she's just enraptured by the screen.

Focus, she scolded herself. Don't let your curiosity get the better of you.

"And that... upsets you?"

“Oh!” He starts, genuinely surprised.

“Uh… well I’m one of the smart kids at school? I’m going to be valedictorian. But all the… sports guys don’t like that kind of stuff. Especially this one named Max Jägerman. So he bullies me. A lot. Like, every single day.”
Valerie didn't seem depressed. She seemed curious.

Her eyes were still on the TV, but her eyebrows were furrowed as if he was speaking another language.

"Nerds...? Jocks...? You've lost me."
November 4, 2025 at 5:08 PM
A friend.

I pick up languages, like, really fast.
awesome! where'd you learn?
Yes, actually, I do!
November 4, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Yes, actually, I do!
hey, do you speak latin too?
(Staring blankly, head tilted like a confused puppy.)

...Huh?

woah, i didn't know you were in the legion!

"Nerds...? Jocks...? You've lost me."
Another blush.

“Um… well I’m a nerd. And Hatchetfield High is nothing but stereotypes: the jocks rule, and nerds get swirlied and shoved in lockers.”

Richie shrugs, then shakes his head.

“I don’t want to depress you though! It’s just how it is.”
She hummed, eyes drawn to the television like a moth to a flame. Or, more accurately, like a cat being attracted to movement.

"What d'ya mean by that?"

She could figure it out. It didn't take a genius. But, she figured it would be good for him to talk about it.
November 3, 2025 at 11:46 PM
.... ..... what.

Nevermind. Just c'mon!
are you going to fart out there too?
Maybe we should take a walk? Outside?
November 3, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Maybe we should take a walk? Outside?
why do i smell GAS?
November 3, 2025 at 1:56 AM
Valerie didn't know what that meant. She almost lost her fearful mask as she blinked rapidly and tried to dig through her mind. Drowsy Town? Had she heard of that before?

But it was a blink-and-you'd-miss-it moment. Her frightened demeanor was back a second later.

"We can play more than one game!"
"Perhaps..."

Wiggly taps his chin thoughtfully.

"or I could simply drag you down to Drowsy Town! That's my FAVORITEST-WAVORITEST game!"
"You could come up with a game for just the two of us? That way nobody can get in the way! Or make it boring!"

Her eyes were wide and pleading now.

"It... It'd be fun. I promise."

Richie blushes even more and shakes his head.

"N-no, never. Well, my two best friends -- Ruth and Pete -- they do. But... not really anybody else."

He clears his throat, going through the DVD menu.

"I'm... kind of an outcast at school I guess?"
"Do people not take you up on the offer?"

She tilted her head to the side curiously, tugging her blanket further around herself.

"That's lame."
November 2, 2025 at 3:20 AM
Shoving candy in her bag.

For later.

"Hm? Oh, I started when I was fourteen. I'm twenty-six now. So, uh... What's that? Twelve years?"

Valerie shrugged as she said that. She hadn't ever felt anything but at home in this machine, especially when she was flying. It was as easy to her as moving her own body - easier, even! Her body ━
“Good-oh.”

He was lying. Dressing-up, eugh. But he understood the logic and mentally resigned himself to his incoming fate.

Req watched Valerie doing her thing. It was obvious she really had the whole TARDIS thing figured out. Every move was calculated, every interaction seamlessly undertaken, -
━ it is!"

She turned to start piloting. Her every move was graceful, as if this was truly second nature to her. As if the machine was just an extension of her own body.

"We'll have to stop in the wardrobe before we head out, then. People in the past can be so funny about that."
