[OPEN] And so I'm having a wonderful time
Who: Siebren and You
What: Post-Cult Recovery, Information Dissemination and general Siebrenity
When:Mid-July
Where: Places and also locations
Warning(s): Discussion of mental health and trauma likely, along with cult event CWs. Also, heavy alcohol use.
1. A woman came up to me and said [Library]
Regardless of what's in Siebren's head, he still shows up to work. Sometimes, he focuses on simple matters; reshelving, cleaning, dealing with things that need him to be tol (or rather, to be not-grounded). Other times, he'll be at the reference desk, nose-deep into some sort of book. He's doing a very good job at presenting himself as stable and pushing himself to be useful. He's making a point of not isolating himself from his community.
Those who know him more than passingly, though, can tell he's distracted and a bit absent. Moments when he hangs like a bad internet connection. Perhaps it's time to check in on your local sad science grandpa.
2. I'd like to poison your mind [Oak and Iron]
If you see something, say nothing, and drink to forget.
Siebren is drinking. Heavily. He's alone at a table at the Oak and Iron, a bottle of wine and a single glass in front of him, and he is getting himself thoroughly shitfaced. For better or worse, he seems a quiet, depressive sort of drunk rather than a disruptive one (though his bottle occasionally floats over the table instead of sitting neatly on it). But this is clearly not a celebratory sort of drinking.
Still, if you acquire a glass from the staff, he might be encouraged to share, just so he's not drinking that whole bottle alone.
3. With wrong ideas that appeal to you [Empty Pockets Open Mic]
There's a song stuck in his head. Oh, it has been there for a while now, but now, it's stuck deeper than usual, running around the edges of his mind at all hours. Luckily, there are appropriate times and places to pass an earworm along. Like open mic night.
While he warms up with some Phillip Glass, some Satie, he jumps into the main event quickly, a look of concentration on his face as he draws down the music of the universe and plays it back.
Catch him after his performance, before he slips out the back door?
4. Though I am not unkind [Wildcard]
[As usual, darkersolstice on discord to plot. Or throw yourself at me, I'm easy.]

CT quirks a brow and the corner of her mouth matches it. "Boefje. What's that translate as? I know four languages but I guess yours isn't one of them, and I need to decide how flattered or insulted to be."

CT considers her words momentarily, then doesn't bother to dodge, just says, "Well, I certainly wasn't that well known, but this friend of yours sounds like a character."
And she can't deny they're of the same, or at least a similar, type.

"Shadow. Fitting." Though just saying the word makes her think of Texas, a thought she shakes away quickly. "There's nothing to forgive, really. I don't mind."
It's certainly a kinder reason than how often she's found herself thinking about how she needs allies, rather than just... accepting friendship as it is.
