[After having a chat with Eddie and Venom, Foggy drops Anne a line, because he's sort of worried as hell now.]

Anne, are you okay? I've been talking with Eddie and he said you're acting very much not like yourself.

[It's still so fresh. The whole day she'd been feeling off; tired of the world and worn out trying to find her place in it, and then Eddie had come over and he'd been so suave and, his usual charming self but somehow more? She'd fallen right back in to his arms and now he's gone and she's doubting all of her decisions here.

To hear that Eddie and Foggy have been talking about her sends a flare of irritation through her, men are such dogs.]

Oh really. How did he expect me to act?

[clouded_heart]

[ Okay. Not what he expected. ]

Well, after I called him out on acting weird for him, he said that you weren't as confident as he was used to seeing you. And that your band colour was different from normal, like his. He's usually teal, but right now it's dark red, like Matt's. And that yours was currently teal, when usually its black.

Sounds like you already have all the details. What more do you hope to gain by interrogating me?

And how about you? Still sporting green or are you traipsing around in something more garish?

[She's hurt and confused, and instead of opening up she's compensating by closing off and lashing out.]

[clouded_heart]

Talking to Eddie about him being weird and noticing you're acting different than normal from you is hardly 'all the details'.

I'm *worried*, Anne. Because now you're lashing out at me for asking if you're okay and that's really not usual.

I'm still green. Good old reliable green.

[can_fight_ugly]

You can't really count on anything here. There's no *usual*. There's no *normal*. Damned if I thought I could make it make sense.

I'll be fine. I'll manage. It's nothing worth worrying over.

[clouded_heart]

There is a usual and normal in people's personalities. And you're definitely not acting like usual.

I'm willing to leave it alone, but I will still worry.

[can_fight_ugly]

What do you expect to accomplish by calling it out?

[It's an angry retort but there's a small hopeful part of her that maybe he has some kind of answer. She doesn't know. Her world is just a struggle now and she's tired of it.]

[clouded_heart]

Well, I was thinking maybe we could get people together and try and establish a pattern, since you're at least the third person I know has changed band colour and behaviour with it.

[can_fight_ugly]

So you're going to take a bunch of people who are acting unpredictably and put them all in the same space that sounds like a *great idea*.

Count me out. The last think I want right now is to be around other people.

[clouded_heart]

You know how to contact me if you want to.

Stay safe, Anne.
