GEORGIA SARRIS-ROSI — ✎ ✎ ✎
"the sea incarnate! with moods to match, she changes with the tides, folks! hm. i like georgia a lot - she's super fun. she's not a pushover by any means, and she rolls with the punches like none other. i think she thinks she's all big and bad - and it's probably pretty true too -, but i think she's actually a big softie. granted, for all her sweet smiles, she can still be pretty dangerous.
blue-lipped sea kraits are a lot like that, actually. they're pretty docile creatures unless they're provoked, and when you mess with them, you've got to deal with the venom after. that's georgia. interestingly enough, blue-lipped sea kraits, unlike other sea snakes, spend a lot of time on land. georgia's always seemed, to me, to belong to the sea. sometimes, it's like she's stuck here on dry land.
the word that comes to mind is lost. i really think georgia fits in nicely here, but it's like she still wants more. sea kraits can only stay underwater for so long before they have to come up for air. i think georgia keeps trying to spend too much time underwater, and i think she's suffering for it. but i don't fault her for that.
besides, with enough practice, i think she can train her lungs to withstand it. she's strong like that.
ROAN Ó FOALÁIN-ROUX — ✎ ✎ ✎ ✎
"did you know that caterpillars remember everything they've ever learned? even after they've turned into butterflies, they can recollect all the harmful and helpful things they've ever encountered. roan sometimes seems like he's on edge, like he's always trying to remember what helps and what harms, like he doesn't trust himself enough. it's dumb considering how smart and talented he is.
the illidge's ant-blue butterfly is very rare. they're an endangered species, you know? roan reminds me of that bit. i think he's endangered considering he's our only healer, and he's the last of his kind in a unique way - not in a way that needs extreme conservation efforts. but maybe he'd appreciate help, especially considering how much i impede his work efforts. oops.
i like to mess with roan; he gets flustered easily. and i like the way he lets me talk without being annoyed by my tangents. i like the way he listens too. he's fun to be around, and it's easy to hang out with him. i always feel like i have to meet high expectations for others, but i don't really feel that with roan... feelings in general are weird. and complicated. and gross.
sometimes though, i look at roan and get this funny notion that maybe it's okay to try to feel everything instead of closing myself off.
MICHAEL TOWNLEY-PHILLIPS — ✎ ✎ ✎
"michael was the first to offer to help me in a long time. i think i'd forgotten what it felt like. and without being overly sentimental and weird about it, i appreciate it. even if he didn't do much more than walk me over to get healed, it still means something, you know?
most species of snakes don't care for their young. king cobras, which are considered to be the one of the most intelligent species of snakes, are the exception. they are the only snakes to build nests too, and they protect and defend their eggs. now, you wouldn't normally expect that out of snakes, right? that's how michael seems to me: tough, rough around the edges, but he means well and cares for others.
i think michael is what my dad should have been, and i really admire the guy. he's a solid presence, and it seems like he really helps hold everything together. he seems like he's got everything figured out too, and i can admit i'm a little jealous.
more than anything, for whatever reason, i'm scared i'm going to disappoint him."
PAOLA VASQUEZ — ✎ ✎ ✎
"it's difficult for me to fully trust anyone, but i trust paola wholly. i'm not sure how or why - maybe because she's just paola and it's easy. a lot of times, i look at my life and feel like i've been robbed of things, but paola helps me find a lot of the stuff i've been missing. i don't really understand the criteria needed for best friends, but i think she's qualified for the job.
a hercules beetle can lift over eight-hundred times its own body weight. isn't that wild? i think paola has that kind of strength... not literally. well, maybe. who's to say? anyway, i meant i think she's capable of great feats of inner strength, and i don't think she gives herself enough credit for that. i hate the idea of talking about my feelings, but i think if i ever wanted to, i could go to her. and because she's like a hercules beetle, she would use all of her strength to lift me up without asking for anything in return.
the idea of soul mates, red strings of fate, and everything else has never really made sense to me. i'm still not sure if i believe in any of that, but if i did, i think paola might be my twin flame. we're practically a package deal, and we have this tendency to follow each other around. normally, i would hate it, but it's paola. i really enjoy her company, and i like that i can be myself around her.
she has a good heart. one of us has to - that's the rule with pairs -, and she's the best of both of us.
