There were no jello shots at Caritas tonight.
In fact, there was no Summer at Caritas tonight, either.
What would even be the point? The island was going crazy, and everyone should probably stay at home! Sure, Caritas was a safe space, and that was good if anyone needed it, and it was literally right across the street so it wouldn't take long to get there, but, knowing her luck? Ha! She'd probably be dead before she barely stepped out the door!
Not that she figured she was much safer in her own apartment, because she did not at all trust those looks Pancakes was giving her, and this wouldn't even be the first time a pet had threatened her! At least Pancakes didn't have a mech suit, though!
....YET.
Besides, she was thoroughly convinced that anyone who actually did go to Caritas would have a much better time without her there. Because that's just how it was. Things were always better without her. Just look at her parents' lives if she hadn't been born, and the Resistance was probably thriving now that she was out of the picture. Why do you think Grampa Rick only ever wanted to take Morty on adventures and never her? Because she sucked. And things always sucked more when she was involved. Tino didn't need her there. Tino probably didn't even want her there.
No one did.
And it definitely didn't help that Summer just could not stop doomscrolling through all the happy, perfect posts from people on all her socials, almost as if something that knew it would only exacerbate these feelings was compelling her to keep doing so.
[[ very much open! with potential bouts of SP because work has been stupid stressful lately, ugh ]]

Could you infuse a text message with skeptical energy? Lucifer was trying.

What was going on here.
no subject
Because I suck and everybody hates me and I make everything worse just by being involved?
Duh.
I'm like that Midas guy, only instead of turning everything I touch into gold, it just turns to shit.

Gave up on drafting them and just called Summer.
no subject
Yeah. Yeah, no way she was answering that! It was obviously some kind of trap.
She didn't even know where to begin to speculate on how many ways that was going to end up going poorly for her.
So she didn't.
If it was important, he'd just leave a voicemail, right?
...look, it made sense to her right now.
But, then again, so did cute tinfoil hats.
no subject
Beat.
"No, serio--"
Beep.
no subject
She then listened to the voicemail, the phone held out just in case it exploded or something.
She considered this message before texting him back.
you know this is only proving my point, right? You cannot tell me that your day is NOT actually worse now for having texted me.
So....there.
