☢ Sketch Diary ☢

TOPAZ: Ey yo I found another one.

KAT: [← "Pinkie", age 6, girl]

SALEM: Nooo but 7 is a prime number.

(Author's Note: Fear not, Salem! There are probably 8 or 9.)

(SALEM: What)

KAT: Yup I am also here.

KAT: And I know everything you know!

KAT: Like CUSS WORDS!

KAT: FUCK SHIT ASS CUNT BITCH PENIS VAGINA

SALEM: [← trying not to laugh]

RIN: Why do you all keep confusing me for that guy!?

OBSIDIAN: [still not depicted]

SALEM: Well you sound kinda similar... sorry.

SALEM: Why haven't you talked to Delta about this? He has better communication than I do.

RIN: I don't like him.

SALEM: So what, you like me more?

RIN: No, I tolerate you. You're less annoying than the other two.

RIN: They talk down to me. They think they're better than me!

SALEM: Hmm...

SALEM: Yeah, that's not very fair of them, is it?

SALEM: You're probably right to feel angry about it.

RIN: Don't try to therapize me.

SALEM: I'm not.

SALEM: I'm just trying to understand your point of view.

SALEM: Like...

SALEM: As a friend.

RIN: Oh. No one's ever really done that before.

SALEM: I know. And that's part of the problem, isn't it?

RIN: [← Rin, age 14] Well, don't think this means I like you.

RIN: I just wanted to clear up the confusion.

SALEM: That's fine.

RIN: You can put me on your stupid website too.

SALEM: Cool.

KAT: I want to watch Bluey again.

SALEM: Maybe later I'm tryina—

SALEM: Wait what do you mean "again???"

DELTA: Everything is UNDER CONTROL!

[folder is labled "my brain" with tabs for emotion, memory, and trauma]

OBSIDIAN: So you figured it out. Does it help? Do you feel better? You think you're so smart. But this doesn't change anything, does it?

OBSIDIAN: You people make me sick, you know. It's like you want to suffer. Why do you want things to have been worse than they were. Why do you want IT to have happened? What you really want is an excuse for—

TOPAZ: Oh, don't even go there with me. You specifically should know why I do that.

TOPAZ: You're nothing but a coward anyways. ALL BARK NO BITE.

TOPAZ: You want me to fear you like the others do? Fuckin' prove you're a real threat.

TOPAZ: FOLLOW THROUGH NEXT TIME.

LUKE: It can't possibly be true. None of this is real anyways.

OBSIDIAN: Why do you insist on making things up? Liars deserve to be punished.

RIN: How could anybody do something so terrible!? Why did nobody help me!? IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!

TOPAZ: I simply hope that every willfully cruel person gets to feel the pain of their victims.

DELTA: Maybe if I had been less emotional more rational I could have handled it better.

KAT: If we only think about the good things then the bad things won't hurt us.

KITTY: It's all my fault... the pain is going to last forever...

SALEM: Who could I have been? I was never given a chance to find out.

[ACCEPTANCE NOT FOUND]

TOPAZ: Are you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go ape shitt

[just after lecture]

[Topaz suddenly switched in]

TOPAZ: Overalls, huh? Not what I would have picked.

TOPAZ: It's a bit immature.

DELTA: Salem is who got dressed this morning.

TOPAZ: That tracks.

SALEM: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT

[later during class]

OBSIDIAN: Why are you fronting!?

KAT: I don't kowwwww

OBSIDIAN: GIVE ME THE BODY

KAT: Absolutely not!

SALEM: Ugh these flashbacks are getting more intense... I don't know if I can handle this...

SALEM: I don't think I want to remember.

SALEM: But it's necessary if I want to heal.

THOUGHTS: But what if it gets worse? What if I'm not ready? What if it's not real? What if it IS real?

SALEM: Okay that's enough of that.

SALEM: If I'm remembering now it's for a reason.

SALEM: I've calmed down now but...

SALEM: Hmm...

SALEM: Why don't I feel like I made it out of that anxiety attack unscathed?

[one month later]

SAFFRON: If it makes you feel makes you feel better I also wish it didn't happen.

SALEM: It doesn't. But thanks.

[The other gatekeeper not understanding why he doesn't have memory access]

[Me, whose been eating the memories when he's not looking]
