Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #117

I went to bed a little later last night than I should have, but I still managed to get between 6 and 7 hours of sleep. My body is still not in a great state, but it's better than yesteday, and I'm in mostly good spirits. I'm gonna try to go to bed early-ish today. Guess we'll see how that pans out.

I mostly rested today, and that was good. I had originally planned to go to a rock and gem and mineral show nearby (literally like 5 minutes from my house!), but the thought of being in an unfamiliar place with lots of people, without J, M, or Br accompanying me seemed like a bad time. The inside of my head felt like it was full of cotton fluff anyhow, so while I'm sad that I missed out on an opportunity to check out some pretty rocks (and take pictures of said rocks for you), it's probably better that I stayed home. I even stayed home even from the awesome place today, which I feel a little sad about, but I'm not sure I would have been able to withstand the drive in any case.

I made myself some jasmine green tea this morning; it's some stuff that Br got for us, and it's fragrant and floral and absolutely delightful. I wish I could give you a mug. Alas, I cannot. But here are some pictures…

...I think you would like the tea made at my house. I have more kinds here than you can shake a stick at! Well, unless you have a particularly fantastic stick, anyways. But it'd have to have jingly bells and rainbow streamers and glitter all over it to be nearly fantastic enough to match my tea collection, ahahaha! 😄😋

Br came home to our house today and we had some important conversation, and it was good! We also went together to a local wholesale shop, and that was pretty cool. On the drive there, I saw a bald eagle!!! It was notable because while they're not unheard of, they're extremely rare to see where I live. Before today, I had only ever seen them in pictures. It swooped majestically in the sky and perched on a nearby tree. I wanted to take a picture for you, but I wasn't fast enough with my cellphone camera before we had to drive away. I'm sorry about that; it would have been an amazing picture.

Sometime after that, J and I went out for a rainy walk in the evening. It was a very light and very warm rain, and we talked about various things, so it was a really nice time. I tried to take some good pictures for you along the way; I hope you'll like them.

Here's one of a very bubbly puddle. I managed to somehow catch this one just as a raindrop plopped into it:

Here is the umbrella we were using:

I wanted to try to catch the density of the rain by shining the streetlamps on the drops as they fell. I'm not sure how good these are, but I hope you like them anyway:

I also tried to get a few pictures of the trees:

I also tried to get a couple of the moon as it shone through the clouds. My cellphone camera really can't do these justice, but I tried anyways:

...I know you like nature. I'm hoping that any one of these might give you even a little bit of joy and serve as a reminder that there are so many things in this world that are beautiful, if only you look through loving eyes.

I still have mashed potato brains, so I'm probably gonna go to sleep now.

Please remember that you are loved. I'll write again soon. Keep yourself safe out there, and come back to us in one piece...

Your friend, Lumine

As a reward for helping with a problem, John Constantine wants to give Bruce a chance to talk to his parents. “I can only do one at a time, thought, so, who’s first?”

Bruce sweats, “That won’t be necessary.”

The batkids watch like ??? they’ve seen Bruce in every state a man could succumb and raise, but they’ve never seen him scared. Alfred calmly steps forward, “Please do.”

“No. Don’t.”

John “I don’t want peace, I want trouble, always” Constantine smells some opportunity for chaos and grabs it.

The result of that is the very angry spirit of Thomas Wayne fixing Bruce with the glare of the year, “You dropped oUT OF MED SCHOOL?!” The entire mansion seems to tremble.

Bruce yelps like a scolded cat and runs around the dining table, “I was busy with BATMAN—“

“ Che cazzo è un Batman, — Get back here! You were there a year, — Che cazzo fai, CHE CAZZO FAI?! Pack your bags, you’re going back.”

To the batkids’ absolute horror Bruce starts to cry, face watery and bright, and they finally understand what Alfred meant by tantrums. “Non voglio tornare indietro, papà!”

“Non mi interessa, cazzo, — wait till your mother hears about this, Harley graduated with HONORS. What exemple are you giving to my grandkids? Don’t — Don’t run, GET BACK HERE!”

Tim sweats in high school dropout, Dick sweats in cop, Jason sweats in drug lord, Damian sweats in art kid, and Stephanie just sweats in general.

“Should, uh… Should we help?”

“Are you kidding? I haven’t seen Jason this happy since the Queen died.”
