a mirror tells a thousand word

a thousand words tell tale by sodetectivefestival

Oily-skin took over her life and controlled it whole. Years went by and she struggled to cope or win any friend. When she did win any they became the best ever she ever had, or hoped for. Visits to skin doctors depressed her and made her wish her sores will just disappear at a snap of a finger or at a said wish. Day after day she’d feel them getting worse and worse. They’d be so painful that she’d fail to concentrate — be it in class at school, at play or in church. Whenever she thought about how her problem-free her friends were— when it came to the opposite sex, how she had to endure countless ridicule from people.

Especially men who ought to know better but were seemingly not clued up about who a woman is, she felt like she could just lock herself up in a room all day, that her mind would just shut the world out so that she wouldn’t have trouble explaining herself to inquisitive people who had no solution for her problem-skin. She began to envy her friends’ beautiful skin. Though she wouldn’t tell them, her actions told them deep down inside of her she was hurting.

In her dark days a mirror became her best companion. He hugged it, kissed it, embraced it, prayed of it to have an everlasting life. Her parents sometimes came to think she was losing her mind because time and time again they’d hear speaking to it over and over again like it was a person. Whenever they knocked on the door of her bedroom and peeped through her bedroom-door’s keyhole, there she was holding a tiny mirror she had kept mounted inside her briefcase’s lid whenever she goes to school or library on her chest like it’s her man.

Frustrated, her mother told her that she had a license to do whatever she liked with her life so long as she wouldn’t blame she and her father later on in life. She told her not be recluse or act like she has a mind problem because their friends are beginning to think that maybe, they’ve turned her into their house-slave.

‘It doesn’t make sense to me either mom,’ she replied. All I’m doing is trying to have harmless fun without having to take out my anger on other people. My friends have caught me doing this countlessly but none have told me I’m acting crazy. But, anyway, thank you for the advise.’

Men mocked her a lot and she knew what their intentions were. They teased her in order to make her lose focus in life. They were of the view that if she ever got irritated by what their words, she’d soon fall for any of them. And she knew that there was no love in any of them. Her father had told them all of men’s tricks. She couldn’t believe her luck when he mysteriously asked her to sit on a chair opposite him on their dining-room’s table and said;

‘My girl, I love you so much and I know that it does get a little bit awkward when a man tells his daughter how much he loves her. But I love you so much to keep things from you. Man of this village are leeches who would suck you dry and leave you distraught and lifeless after they’re finished with you. I’ve heard stories about how they want to get under your skin and as a loving, doting father, I’m flabbergasted and won’t mind doing life in prison for your sake.’

_____________________________________________________________

  ‘Do you really have to take things that far, dad?’ she replied.

‘Yes. Why not?’

She smiled.

They spoke ‘til both of them went to bed. It was Friday evening and her mother had gone out with her friends. She struggled to cope with her father’s openness and thought that if she went on speaking, she may end up saying things she wouldn’t have said had she mulled over them.

A day later, she knew would be a weekend. She wasn’t on curfew but hated parties with all her heart. Unless it was she and her friends’ mini get-togethers were they’d drink light beverages and talk a lot of rubbish. What irked her the most about her life was that no doctor could confirm or deny that she had a problem. They all seemed to look for the cause so as to get answers why she had acne. Her acne got ugly when it was too hot or too cold and she got to hate the word too.

But she loved her boyfriend of years, March. They had known each other for years but no one really knew about it. Her parents only knew him only as a boy who sold fruits and veggies over the weekend. He didn’t know why they valued him so much ‘til he realised that his friend’s facial skin’s condition wasn’t getting any better. He wanted to ask what’s going on with it but feared losing her. Her metabolism was super and most ladies envied her and told her they’d trade anything to have a body like hers but their men cruelly called her names for no reason at all.

March helped her with a lot of advise. This includes giving her confidence when he felt that her friends and her parents weren’t no more doing justice to her soul. They liked sleeping in each other’s beds for the fun of it. But their deeds raised questions and soon people were murmuring because they thought she was no longer different like she used to. They vowed to take honor they used to bestow on her to a next good girl in the village. They scraped and scraped their village’s bowel searching for a good replacement but they found none.

His fruit and vegetables helped her be free from any sickness. They became her staple diet and she was glad they were because in no time her facial-skin-problem disappeared.

SA: I am still troubled by this insistence it is just a leaf. It is a shamrock.

SA: In other words. a clover.

ID: 🍃

SA: don't encourage them. it's a shamrock.

SA: 🍀

SA: here, for the fight.

SA: now you will be lucky.

ID: i don't need luck, but thanks for the support. =:)

SA: if you could use your psionics you could eviscrate your opponent and none would stand in your way.

SA: If only.

SA: oh, wait, this was a nonlethal fight.

SA: Nevermind.

ID: uhhh i better be able to use my psi.

ID: for non-lethal uses of course.

ID: does this fight come with a rulebook. =>:I

SA: i thought it was exclusively a melee weapons fight? you know. to be.... accurate.

ID: my psi can be melee weapons!

ID: psi are accurate to the times. =>:I

SA: are they...

SA: is that what the lady in the lake was.

SA: maybe she could do what you do.

SA: throwing out glowing psionic swords.

ID: i have no idea what you're talking about, but yes.

SA: that was very cool, by the way.

SA: I enjoyed that.

SA: I am sorry I had to leave to sleep.

ID: good! did you have to sleep because you used your psi?

ID: i noticed you were getting. sloppy and rubbing your neck at the end. =:/ you gonna be alright?

SA: i am alright. It has just become harder as of late.

SA: i am on my last set of medicine.

SA: I do not know what will happen after this.

ID: =://///

SA: but my inhibitor is now trying to regulate my telekinesis by more physical means instead of chemical, as it is drained of thechemical used to nullify it.

ID: what's the chemical? maybe i can find a way to. hook you up.

SA: It's alright, Hadean. I already searched the black market for it.

SA: it has to be smuggled from the colonies and they've cracked down on the runners lately.

SA: but if you must know, this is the list.

SA has sent InhibitorRounds.txt

ID: i mean it's not alriiight.

ID: do like. the usual psi null shit work? you know, like. the stuff they use on psis they catch and stuff.

SA: No, that is too strong. It would also turn off my clairvoyance.

SA: perhaps if it could be diluted.

SA: but I do not know how that would be done.

ID: i mean. if it's having no psi or being dead. which is better?

ID: i'll see what i can find out for you though.

SA: I don't think I will die. But it would be lonelier without my clairvoyance.

SA: it would be like living in a world that is completely silent.

SA: but thank you, friend.

SA: I will remember this.

ID: well i'll do what i can. =:I

SA: how was pizza?

ID: good! now i'm gonna get makeup done so i can look glam while kicking ass. =:D

SA: make sure it's waterproof so you don't sweat and become one with the clowns during the fight.

SA: will you change or is the hooker outfit for the entirety of the fairs part of your contract

ID: sip is doing it and she fights all the time, i'm sure she knows what she's doing.

ID: and no! definitely back to normal clothes. t-shirt and jeans are what i'm used to fighting in.

SA: oh, I didn't know Sipara wore makeup in her fights. Then again I have marginal knowledge of her fights.

SA: t shirt and jeans...

SA: I would almost prefer the hooker outfit 😮

ID: rude!

ID: i'm sorry i have no fashion sense. =>:I i tried shopping with gliese for clothes but everything is all. old-timey. or garish!

SA: oh, no I didn't mean it like that.

SA: rather that I would be uncomfortable fighting in that.

SA: but if it's what you're used to then it's no problem

ID: oh. well. yeah, i'm used to it. since that's my wardrobe like. every night.

ID: what do you fight in then?

SA: my uniform. 😮

SA: I don't have any photos of it.

ID: do you still wear it? =:?

SA: yes, on jobs that I anticipate will be dangerous

SA: do you only have one set of clothes?

ID: i mean i have three sets of practically the same outfit.

SA: oh.

SA: would you like to go shopping with me?

ID: i mean. sure bud! you seem to have more idea of what to wear than i do.

SA: do you like suits?

ID: i've never. worn a suit.

SA: then I have no idea if I have any idea of what to wear better than you do all I wear is suits and baggy shirts

SA: people often tell me I am too thin otherwise.

SA: we can go ugly shopping then. And pretend we know.

ID: well i doubt a troll can gain much weight on sushi and coffee.

SA: most of my diet is desserts and fruit unless I'm eating out

SA: I don't know how you don't gain weight. Three pizzas, Hadean

ID: just eat out all the time! you have the money for it. or hire a cook to cook for you.

SA: that's as many as twenty slices. And that's a lot

ID: my psi burns it all up. why do you think i'm poor?

SA: oh, it isn't internally generated energy?

SA: it relies on a metabolic process?

ID: it doesn't rely on it, but it messes up the process or something?

ID: i don't know. it's just something i deal with and don't think too much about. i'm no scientist.

SA: I see.

SA: i am sorry.

AA: wassup, did someone mention S C I E N C E? >:}

SA: also, I do not think my roommate would like a cook. And they may rob me. And I will fight them.

ID: no.

SA: hello, AA

AA: arne you surne it's yrn psi, and not just you hiding food in yrn horns forn latern??

AA: suuup, prnisma.

ID: and don't be sorry pris, i mean it's fine.

ID: do my horns look like they can store three pizzas. stop being jelly of my horns.

AA: they totes do. rnight, prni??

SA: I think they are cute horns.

SA: but I want to touch the orb.

SA: and remove it

ID: it is not removeable.

SA: were you hatched with it?

ID: and it'll shock you.

ID: no. it, uh. grew in. Like I had a lumpy ugly horn.

SA: Sipara, I think it would take very condensed pizzas to manage that

ID: and then the lump broke off.

ID: and now i have a much cooler horn.

AA: but what if we comprnessed em way thin??

AA: like. rnoadkill thin.

SA: they would have to be ribbon pizzas to wrap properly on the outside, but I am unsure about the inside.

SA: oh

SA: I still wish to touch it

SA: I wonder what would happen if someone places a psionics field around it

ID: no experimenting on my horn, i was about to say you could touch it but now i'm rethinking things.

ID: also stop talking about me having pizza-stuffed horns. rude.

ID: ps sip are you gonna make me pretty yet.

ID: i don't think i'll be hard since i'm already gorgeous. =:P or at least have some flawless skin.

SA: I wouldn't try to do anything to it, just touch it.

SA: make him prettier, Sipara

SA: his ego craves this 🙃

ID: you can touch it. just be aware it'll feel weird.

AA: y, y, y, just finished up lal, so I'll give him the boot and you can get yrn ass in Phern's van. >:} AA: gonna make you soprnetty that evernyone's phones crnack frnom fucking envy. AA: orn frnom yrn lameass clown tatts. >:P

SA: please do not cut us open

SA: how does jade relate to "gothy "?

ID: ...are you asking because you wear jade pris.

AA: bc jades arne drninkerns and can go out in the sun, and, like, fondle zombies, and shit.

SA: no.

SA: oh, like Perdia wants.

SA: yes, alright.

SA: I wear almost exclusively black and lime

AA: rnude!!

ID: ruder to want to cut my poor body to pieces. and what? laaame ap.

AA: yeah, see, that's what jades say. kinda like hads saying he won't gimme his bod.

AA: .. let's switch chats, loserns. >:}

AA: wtf you need a null forn?

ID: pris' psionics need flattening.

ID: he used expensive fancy drugs but can't get them anymore.

ID: =:I

SA: my inhibitor restricts my telekinesis to prevent me from causing inordinate harm.

SA: using them dry results in the inhibitor causing me physical pain to incline me to stop.

SA: like having an nerve pinched.

AA: hads. haaads. AA: yrn lucky I like yrn dumb ass, bc, like, if I didn't? you popping up like Y, NULL MY DUDE would be totes fucking weirnd. js.

AA: .. what, and you can't just, like, not use 'em?

ID: some psis have a mind of their own sip.

SA: I do not know if it will spread to my clairvoyance as well the longer it goes

SA: also: I enjoy using my telekinesis to clean.

SA: it allows me to defend myself within reasonable margins but as long as the inhibitor thinks they cannot be regulated then it will keep hurting me

AA: lmao. 'kay. ppl gotta sparnk, i guess. >:} phern won't stop using his shit neithern, but eyy. AA: that's fixable. AA: gimme yrn inhib deets.

AA: it internal orn, like, ext??
