for you, neverending

The boundless energy that the tiny pigeon had seemed to exhibit earlier in the evening is bound to run out at some point, and it seems that point is now. Instead of his usual perched position, Cranberry had sat himself completely down upon Andrei's shoulder, legs tucked and head half-burrowed into his wing with just one sleepy eye uncovered to regard his surroundings.

"Here," Andrei says, reaching out a hand towards him to lift him down, but the bird only gives a soft squeal, turning his head away and burrowing tighter against his human's neck. Andrei could feel the gentle, subtle rise and fall of Cranberry's chest, his beak poking into him, though not hard enough to be painful, and his lips quirk indulgently. "Don't fall off, now," he says softly.

He waits until he's reasonably certain the little one had fallen sound asleep before picking him up and depositing him safely into a pocket, where he could remain warm on the trip back to the Abyss. It's about time for the ball to wind down, anyway.

------

When Cranberry next opens his eyes, Andrei is already awake, sitting on the edge of his bed. At the sound of his first, sleepy squeal, he reaches out a finger to stroke at the small, feathered head. "I've something for you," he says.

Andrei catches the exact moment the pigeon perks up when he removes the chain of crystals from under his pillow, how his eyes, even in the dim light of the Abyss, seem to sparkle just as brightly as it had under the brilliance of the chandelier in the previous night.

He hands the gift over, and Cranberry's beak immediately closes around the end of the chain, a series of muffled but delighted squeals accompanying the soft clatter of the crystals against one another as he tugs it along the wood of the bedside table.

(Not for the first, second, or even tenth time, Andrei extends a silent apology to the others in the dormitory.)

Still, he can't help but smile as he watches Cranberry play with his newly beloved toy. How easy it is to satisfy him, to retain a little reminder of that magical evening in the heart of such a small bird. Andrei turns away to prepare for the day ahead.

Perhaps he could allow a little piece of the magic to remain within him, as well.

- 🛼 (flowerspowers, super cool girl anon)

*Kim perks up, seeing the message from Ramona.*

Oh, hey! No, I'm not particularly busy... I mean, I've got an early shift on Saturday, but that place is perpetually dead- I could easily dip out towards the end, or sooner; they wouldn't miss me. Hollie owes me anyhow.

What kind of movie were you thinking? I have no clue what's out right now...

im telling yall ever since i found a recipe for homemade oral rehydration solution and started making it (+ shitty approximations of it), ive never felt so hydrated in my life & it's really helping with my POTS symptoms, in a way that just taking salt tablets and chugging water all day hasn't. it has to be the sugar that makes the difference because i've been dissolving salt tablets in my water for years!! but the sugar not only makes it taste less salty (thus making it more tolerable to drink more of it and more often), it helps with the water absorption to a degree i didn't realize it would. my body is actually absorbing water now when before it felt like it was passing straight through me with little to nothing being absorbed.

and as a fun little side bonus ive stopped getting cravings for sweet things nearly as often. it's gotta be hell on my teeth but i have soooo much more energy and i feel better than i have in years, even with the continued issues of mast cell symptoms and heat intolerance w/ no ac and black mold exposure.

the recipe i found comes from here, but for convenience I'll transcribe it here with metric equivalents:

1 quart of water (a little over 1 liter) 3/4 teaspoon table salt (equivalent to ~4.5 grams, I use 4 - 5 one gram salt tablets) 2 tablespoons sugar (about 25 grams)

and sometimes i like to add somewhere in the realm of 2 - 4 tablespoons of lemon juice to get some potassium in there (i eyeball it sorry)

or you can ignore the ratios completely and do whatever you want lol whatever gets u hydrated. but i want people to know that sugar helps with hydration!!! it's super important in metabolic processes!!
