I know people have talked about waking up with strange hair and eye colors. I read some of the older posts, and Zodiac mentioned it too.

Has anyone... woken up with tattoos? On top of everything else?

This isn't the only thing that's become a problem.

I... keep going places. Vanishing away. One minute I was looking in my mirror, and then I was in the mall. Kitchen. Library. Corner store. Home again. I'm tired of it.

How do I control it...? How do I make it s








Update: Park fountain this time. My socks are wet.

This is so annoying...

Right... that makes sense. Of course I...

[Something dawns on him.]

I... don't know how to de-stress.

[camaleonico]

Uhhh... You better get on that, parce. That's really important, just in general. Do you, uh— ...like tea? Reading? Ever tried any calming mantras?

[ Go-to "de-stress" techniques, he's an expert — secondhand, of course, not that he does much of this stuff often, himself — but an expert nonetheless. ]

[wavemastery]

Um... honestly, I don't remember the last time I read for fun instead of studying. We have lots of books, though. I can ask my dad.

[Said with the same reluctant tone as someone talking about getting a tooth pulled. Typical teenager.]

If I can just hold it together until graduation... [BIG SIGH]

[camaleonico]

Find something that's the opposite of studying — like romance novels. That's what my mom reads. She's stressed out a lot, so she likes to curl up in bed with a book and some tea. It helps. If you can find a little catchphrase to remind you to calm yourself, that helps, too.

[wavemastery]

R-romance novels? [He has a hard enough time watching anime with kissing in it.] I... I suppose it doesn't really matter what I read as long as it isn't studying, but... [mumbling] ... embarrassing...

... I'll have to try. Though, just speaking to you has calmed me down, I think.

[A pause.]

Um... I'm Tsukasa.

[camaleonico]

It totally matters, you've gotta enjoy what you read — that's how it's relaxing! So maybe not romance, but something. I don't know any books here or else I'd recommend some. If you find a good one, Tsukasa, lemme know, okay~? I'm Camilo. Camilo Madrigal. And I'm very well-practiced at calming people down if you ever need it. I can prevent a hurricane, heh.

[ He's joking, but uh, he's not joking. ]

[wavemastery]

Camilo... W-well, thank you for trying to help.

[That's an interesting talent to have, though. Feeling a bit better after talking to Camilo regardless, Tsukasa turns the camera around so it's no longer on the kids playing in the park. With his pale skin, white hair and black beanie, Tsukasa is peak emo kid aesthetic at the moment. Salmon-colored tats and all.]

Can you... really prevent a hurricane? How does that work?

[He doesn't get the feeling Camilo was lying.]

[camaleonico]

[ Camilo smiles when the camera finally shows a face, but he feigns nonchalance quickly enough. ]

My mom's moods affect the weather. Mamí's happy? Rainbows. Anything else? Watch out.

[ Casual shrug. Yanno. ]
