GUH. OMG. OUCH.
THAT FIRST DOUBLE-REPLY OF HOUSE'S THERE--GUH--THAT KILLED ME A LITTLE. Ripped my heart right out and stomped on it.
Sometimes, and I don't know if people know this who have never played in an RPG before or really gotten into the heads of their characters, but OMG, sometimes a character will start speaking in your head and it CREEPS UP on you. AND BOWLS YOU OVER. And that's what happened there. GUH. Sometimes you (the real person) kind of get lost to the character, and you really hear and say everything he (or she) is hearing and saying, and FEEL everything he's feeling, and MY GOD. It's such a real physical and emotional reaction it's crazy. GUH, I HURT. GUH. *clutches chest* SO MUCH ACHE. MY ACHY CHEST. GUH.
AND OMG, STACY'S REPLY AFTER THAT MADE ME HURT ALL OVER AGAIN, OMG GAAAAAHHH. JADFSHADSKFHWBAKRHANJFLASFJ MY HEART, HOLY SHIT. FHDHASBFALSFHDJAS How people think Stacy's a heartless, cold bitch I will never, ever know, because GOD that must have been the hardest, most gut-wrenching situation. And THAT TAG does such an amazing job of showing her emotion and her turmoil, and GOD, THAT IS SO GOOD. DJSAFADSLFHDASFKH
