Uh hey. It looks like I'm gonna be here for a while, so does anyone know where I can get my hands on a van? I'm gonna need somewhere to live once the weather gets better. I can't just crash on people's couches forever.
[Which is... very much not all right. But really, it's just the tip of the traumaberg. Life can be kind of rough in a world where giant monsters eat people and also the government is corrupt.]
It's not even Greg specifically (though the fact that Armin barely knows him doesn't help) rather than he just prefers not to talk about this sort of stuff too much. He's discussed it with a few people, but it is not like that has ever changed things. Talking won't bring back his parents or his grandfather. It won't undo what the government had done to them.
Besides, everybody knows that the best way to handle distressing memories is to ball them up tight in the far recesses of your mind where they can slowly fester.]
[Greg's not going to push. He didn't push with Rose and he won't push with Armin. People will tell you things in their own time or they won't. And if they don't, that's fine too.]
Okay.
Anyway. Yeah. Gem stuff is pretty amazing. Rose was pretty amazing too. Though it's kinda funny seeing her in regular human clothes now. Since Gems are made of solid light, they just-- have their clothing as part of them.

Re: (Private)
But. Okay.
If you ever need anyone to talk to...?
