Hey. ( And that feels strange in his own voice. When heโs himself. When itโs Jacaerys and Cellar, not Jace and Mila. ) I am doing alright. It feels strange toโฆ I do not quite feel like myself still.
That other name I was using last month? You can't say it again. When you're talking to me, or ... about me. [ Does he ever talk about me? Focus, Cellar. ] It's really important that you just call me Cellar. Okay?
Family was a whole thing with a lot of people, right? All the guys from home were suddenly related to me. Well, almost. [ Neon was kind of the exception, but also not the exception. It was like it depended on the day. ] It was so weird. Kinda scary how this place can just change everything on us like that. We were clueless.
[ Most of them, most of the time. She definitely remembers having instances where she was questioning reality with a gigantic blinking question mark. ]
You're right, though. I remember there were some fun parts. Especially with you.
I cannot reconcile the family I had then with the woman I know. ( and it is a complicated thing that part of him misses the easiness that came with simply being Jace Strong. ) It means this place is worth more caution than we may have all previously given.
We did have a good time, did we not? Did you keep the photographs?
It wasn't all bad? But it was definitely messed up. Whatever we had going on.
[ Power games, rebellion, a little bit of pseudo-incest? Yeah, she's not gonna go into specifics; she's clinging onto Jace's own issues instead. ]
I mean โ this place keeps us on our toes all the time for sure, but ... I think I get what you're saying, actually. It was never really at this scale, was it? Making us believe something completely different for so long.
[ Mind manipulation, reality warping. Power nullification. Biology manipulation, now that she thinks about it, fingers absentmindedly raking through hair that's way longer than it was before May turned into June. Shit. They have to be dealing with something that's exactly like Raรญz. ]
โyeah! Yeah, actually. I'm pretty sure I still have them, unless they're magically gone. [ She's smiling, practically audible in her voice. ] Hope not.

Thanks, Jace. I appreciate it.
So, how do you feel about the whole... thing. Pretty weird, huh.

Date: 2025-07-13 07:36 pm (UTC)It still feels like it was a life of mine own. Yetโ ( a long pause, a soft sigh. ) I am
not the man I was in the illusion.
Not am I comfortable with the family it created. ( not with the fact his was Jace Strong and it was the easiest thing. ) But it wasnโt all bad.
