Are you alright, by the way? I heard you turned into a possum.
I think people probably know not to mess with possums, generally. [...] But I get it.
Do you know why it happened?
Do you know why it happened?
You never know what people will do when they're scared of something they don't understand.
It seems to be a stress response; I set off the store alarm and it happened. Usually I would just pass out, but lately my powers have... I don't know if I'd call it Progress, per se, but they've changed, and now I'm apparently shapeshifty and can control it a bit if I concentrate.
Sal cancelled it all out though and so far I'm not possumy at all? It's like a factory reset? Like, no tail, nothing. I'm not sure how long it will last, but it's been a nice little reprieve from my usual suffering.
But I feel like I'm talking about myself too much. How are you? Did you go out in the mist?

[...] Interesting.
No, I stayed inside. I didn't think I'd be too much help out there. I've had a pretty quiet week, all things considered.

Did you ever manage to calm yourself down while you were a possum? Maybe you'd change back on your own.
Feels a little ominous somehow, doesn't it?

I didn't, no. I was freaking out. I wonder if I never noticed any of this powers stuff sooner because I'm always low-key freaking out? I would test this out more but I'm a little scared of having another teeth situation on my hands.
It does. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Whit! Thanks. I'm going to put the card up in the living room, the color scheme is sick. And the casserole was great. We're really gonna kill it with the dinner party rebrand.
Annie likes cheese! Spicy food, things with strong flavors generally, sweets. She's not picky, I'm the fussy eater. Although she's mostly vegetarian.
What about your food preferences?

[...] Ranch dressing. Don't trust that.
People say you look hoity-toity? Is it the glasses, do you think?

You know, I've caught flak for ironing recently, too. It's like what's the deal guys? It's a cheap way to look good af.
Yeah, I'm on that environmental- and money-saving grind, too. But I may break rank for Uniqlo when we go. I don't really have winter clothes (for real winter), so it'd be nice to have a parka.
Thatās very nice of you, Whit!
Can I ask why you have that Wes Anderson vibe, specifically? I know you mentioned you had to move with just your suits, but none of my suits have ever looked quite like that. It works for you for sure, just curious.

Thank you! Please take it, I feel bad owning more than I need.
All the formalwear is whatever I was given to wear for various events before I became a Liminal—"fashionable, but not too unrelatable", "modern but with a vintage feel", "be appealing to both young and old", "handsome but not in a threatening way", etc. I—or rather, my public image—was basically engineered in a lab to appeal broadly to the widest possible market from my days of being heir to a foodie-but-not-too-foodie empire.
And now I'm [...] not that, and I still have the clothes, and I can't really afford to buy a whole new wardrobe, nor do I really know where to start? I've never really gotten to be my own person, and frankly, it's kind of daunting?

Wowsers. Whit, Iām really sorry, thatās so

How about you take a stab at a start in Boston? We can make this a fashion reconnaissance trip. You can check out Uniqlo and we can go to other stores with other vibes, because what appeals to me may not appeal to you. And we can people watch so you can get an idea of how different styles/outfits look on different bodies that arenāt mannequin-sized. Re: affordability, we can take pictures of stuff you like and look for cheaper alternatives later?
