The worst thing about mental illness is you have to look after yourself a disgusting amount. I know it's the only way to actually be in a fit state to look out for others, but it still feels wrong.

Judging by the Internet's definitions of introversion and extraversion, you'd think everyone's either an extreme hermit or a party animal with no in between.

Bio
A frazzled British thirtysomething cat mum with something of a tea addiction.
I like a wide range of RP genres, but have two absolute favourites: Pokemon and magical girls. (If someone manages to combine the two, I'll be VERY happy!) I post fairly regularly, but sometimes shit mental health days crop up - if that causes any delays, I'll try to resume posting ASAP.

Jess wanted to speak the truth, tell Reginald he sounded like he was doing this more for himself than his son, but her earlier suspicion had been right. If she fought back, so would he, and Roxy would get hurt in the process. It was obvious he was making the two of them look like the unreasonable ones, relations souring before they even worked with the men. Clear as this was, though, Jess couldn't deny he had a way of getting to people.
"I can try," she finally answered, fists clenched in her lap. As much as she hated herself for going along with it, she didn't have to tell the truth... did she? Lying wasn't exactly her strong point, and she was painfully aware of her tendency to let the wrong things slip. That same tendency, after all, had landed her and Roxy in this newest predicament. And even if she did successfully lie to protect Roxy, would the anchor's brother end up paying the price?
Going to get in a post soon!
@alexfangtalon Good to know everything's ok at least! Is it all going well?
@Ryona Zako @Luminosity Yeah, I don't know what's been happening with the others. Well, most of them anyway, Typical has been busy and is slowly catching up with RPs. Gemini doesn't seem to have been able to get online though, I hope things are ok. And yes, feel free to get in some posts in the meantime!
On a related note...
@Platinum Cobra It's been exactly four weeks since you last posted. I've noticed you've been online pretty much every day, and I've tagged you a few times, but haven't heard back. If you're busy, or not feeling this RP any more, please just say. I know it isn't the easiest thing to tell someone, but a quick OOC heads up won't annoy me, it'll do the opposite as it'd help us all out. What does annoy me is ghosting with no good reason.
So, I'm afraid if you don't get back to us within the next two weeks, I'll have to retcon Victor and give the slot to someone more willing/able to post, once we're at a suitable point to bring in new characters. You don't have to post IC if you're busy, just please, please let us know what's going on.

"Shit, what's happening?" Aubrey took in Aina's stumbling gait. A narcoleptic attack, or something else? "Come on, Aina, stay with us, stay with Hannei, she's here, I'm here..." It wasn't often that Aubrey's big sisterly side showed, except to Nissa.
"Listen to me, listen to my voice." She hooked her free arm around Hannei's, helping her support Aina, and tugged. "Ah! Fuck fuck fuck!" It became near-impossible not to listen to her voice as the motion pulled at the large, ragged bite wound. She gritted her teeth so hard she thought one would break as blood trickled onto the rocks.
Well, that's a nice trail there, she thought, eyes flicking over the crimson stream in panic. A guaranteed lead to follow. She couldn't even hope the diluted iron in blood was enough to ward off the creatures - their sheer level of violence proved otherwise. Gripping the chain no matter how it hurt to clench her muscles, she forced herself forward, helping the twins and Victor along.
Ahead, she could make out a blue glow that brightened a little with each step. Not that light, bright things were always good.
Brenton's sore ribs clenched tighter by the second. Freya's fears were perfectly reasonable and all too likely, but that comment hadn't helped. "Let's hope its only options are horse and human," he replied, voice strained. As she offered to lead the way, Brenton hesitated for a split second, then nodded, tight-lipped. Freya was one of the few in any fit state to lead them. "Y-Yeah. Thanks..."
He struggled for enough air to utter more than a few words, and not just because of the injury. The more people crowded into the cave, the more oppressive it became. He glanced behind him nonetheless to check that the others followed, grunting as his lower chest seared. "Everyone..." Coloured dots blurred his view of them. His face tingled, and his knees buckled as the strength seeped from his legs. He knew all too well what this meant.
No, he mentally yelled at himself, no, no, no, get a grip, this is a BAD time to freak out. A bunch of bloodthirsty nightmare creatures were chasing them, and a freaking tunnel of all things was what set off a panic attack? He staggered after Freya, only to stumble, surroundings lurching as his hands and knees struck the ground. "Oh shit..." Each gasp felt like a fresh kick to the ribs.
"Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit..."

"Family does take care of family," Jess countered, "but it depends what that care involves." As she spoke, she tried not to think of having to get her mother in contact with Mr Black, and how on earth she'd protect her from all this. So many tough decisions involving family, for both her and for Roxy. So few right answers, if any.
She could already tell there was more to this deal than Reginald and Maxwell let on, judging by the way Reginald kept so much concealed. Still, she fell silent, staring down at her plate in defeat. The more she defended Roxy, the more her father would guilt trip her. And if they outright refused to play along, she was sure Roxy would suffer for it - or her brother would.
Jess wasn't giving in yet though, not completely. If they got involved, getting back out would be far from easy, and Roxy would possibly suffer even more that way. "I understand your point," she continued, in as civil a tone as she could, "and your concerns. But sometimes people are really good at lying, to the point that they don't feel much when they do. So it's just fair to let you know it may not be foolproof."
@Platinum Cobra Hey, it's been a while, is everything ok? Let me know if you need to take a break.

“Hey, shitweed! Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?”
Aubrey stared in horror as Julian yelled at the creature. At once, the kelpie changed its course. "But what fun would that be?" it taunted back. Aubrey hadn't expected it to be capable of speech in that form, but that somehow made it all the more terrifying. Not animal, not human, but a being right out of cautionary folktales - galloping towards Julian, no less, albeit awkwardly on its wounded leg.
Keeping her arm around Victor, Aubrey lunged and lashed with the other. "Let's see how much fun you find this!" The chain struck its face, earning another shriek. Aubrey narrowly avoided a hoof as it flailed, lines of welts rising across its cheek. What she didn't avoid were its teeth, which caught the skin of her arm. "Gaaah! Fuck! Fuck you, you overgrown piece of pond scum!" She kicked its legs, pain flaring through her forearm as she managed to pull free. In its wild rage, the kelpie snapped its jaws at her again, getting the belt chain instead.
A choked screech filled the air. Tiny, twisted chain links flew everywhere as the horse spluttered, its mouth covered in sores. "Now looks like a good time to get the fuck away!" Aubrey yelled, feet pounding, belt accessory hanging in her grip with one of its three chains broken. Blood dripped down it from the ragged wound on her arm.
The kelpie, of course, wasn't the only one to worry about. Fingers gripped Aubrey's ankle. With a yelp, she toppled, dragging Victor down with her. "You don't know when to give up, do you?" she seethed, booting the goblin away, hauling herself and Victor back up. Her heart thudded. Not only were the kelpie's eyes fixed on her as it prepared to charge again, the distant shrubbery rustled, as if more creatures closed in.
"Ohh shit, just what we need... Everyone, quick!" She resumed her sprint, but the three beings looped around in various directions, cornering the group against a cliff face.
Spotting one escape route, Aubrey grimaced. What was it going to be, huge tunnel leading to fuck knew where, or rampaging pack of monsters that had likely brought a few friends along? A clawed hand swiped, making the answer clear. In a mad dash, she pulled Victor into the cave.
"And I've got you." Brenton helped Hannei up, glancing from her to her twin. For all his basic medical knowledge, he was no doctor, and the drooping face baffled him. Was this a normal part of narcolepsy, or did Aina have another condition? All he knew was she needed to get to safety - relative safety, anyway - fast.
Hoping he and Freya wouldn't pull the twins over, he ran for it, only looking back at Aubrey's swearing bout. His eyes widened as the foul creature started choking on her chain links. "Aubrey! You ok? And yeah, sounds like an idea."
Not that getting away would be easy. Even with the horse's momentary distraction, its friends hadn't forgotten about them, rushing at alarming speed, grasping and gnashing. He stared as one of them chased Aubrey and Victor into a tunnel, with that strange glow winking from within.
Letting go of Hannei, he froze. Was that really the best escape route? Crap, what if it was the only one? Were his reservations mostly his usual ones about closed spaces? Only the sight of a hoof snapped him back into action. He pulled away, yelping as its edge caught against his side.
"Ugh... Here goes nothing!" His frantic shout and steps sent pain lancing through the area. Was it just a bruise, or was it a cracked rib? What if it was outright broken, dangerously so? There was no time to think about it, not with other injured people in the cave. Steeling himself, he bit the inside of his lip until he tasted blood, and half ran, half stumbled in.
Although wide enough for several people to fit through, the cave's walls seemed to surround the three like a cage. Brenton's breathing sped up, fresh sparks of agony pulsing through his chest. The low ceiling, making him stoop, didn't help the stifling atmosphere. "Heh... At least a horse can't easily get through here, unless... Oh shit." Realisation sank through him. Unless it shapeshifted. And of course, this wouldn't stop the goblins. He cast a wild glance outside. At least if the monster had to shapeshift to follow, it'd do so in a less convenient form, especially with its wounds. There was no way a bunch of humans would outrun a freaking horse.
"At least it won't be such a threat." His knuckles turned white against the knife's handle as he called to the others, both inside and outside. "Come on!"
