August 21, 2021 – side chat/RP with Bex

Previous


BEX

I been listening to this on repeat for a few and I am not sure why. Rebecca just gives me a wicked smirk as I hit repeat though. lol

 (Hozier: Arsonist's Lullaby)


SIGYN

Well, she did set her old professor's house and her apartment on fire lol

 

BEX

no... I don't think it's cause of that. She says, it gives her ideas...for Trent. 

*blinks and blushes* 

Ohhhhh!

 

TRENT:

you want to burn me?

 

REBECCA:

No silly.... but I know you wouldn't turn down a strip tease...would you?

 

TRENT:

I'm okay with either 😉

 

REBECCA:

You are so silly.

 

TRENT:

you should have invited me to the party bus 😥 I heard you did a pole dance that no one appreciated because your friends were terrible back then

 

REBECCA:

I am sorry...I was so out of my mind at that point. And they were, but then I did it for the wrong reasons.

She blushed deeply.

 

TRENT:

Who hasn't gotten up and stripped for their friends for dumb reasons?


Mansk

"Alot of people actually.... "

 

ORION

Clearly, they're missing out.

 

Mansk

"Hardly"

 

BLAINE

Yes, hardly.


NATE:

I know I have but that's not really a common thing

 

REBECCA:

Ummmm....no one that I can remember...and I didn't strip. That's just for YOU.

*Looks at Nate*

Say what now?

 

NATE:

White Josh and I may have ...done a dirty dance onstage at a gay bar... with Josh Chan

 

REBECCA blinks

And you guys give ME hell for pole dancing.

 

NATE:

I am giving no hell. and it was at a place you're expected to dance like that

 

REBECCA:

 Not you...Josh Chan and the rest of them.

 *Rolls her eyes but smirks*

Really? Maybe we could all go sometime. Bet Cat and George would LOVE it.

*giggles*

 

NATE:

George, for sure, because it was a gay bar.

 

TRENT snickers


Z-Dog

"Oh baby! I love me a gay bar! Let me get my strap on and call me daddy!!!"

 

Lyle

"Mmm you.... Yeah.. But Cat?" 

 

BEX watches the reference video, Has no idea what she just watched

 

TRENT:

cringe

 

NATE:

did you just say the word "cringe" without actually cringing?

 

TRENT:

that was cringe. You just watched cringe.

 

REBECCA:

Yea...that's the word for it.

 

NATE:

I was the hottest guy in that song 😊

 

TRENT:

... a pampered domestic kitten is cuter than two wild trash pandas, yes.

 

REBECCA snickers

 

TRENT:

the bar for hot guys in that song was pretty low.

 

REBECCA:

I agree!

 

TRENT:

 in the Trent is Getting Ready Song, 100% of the men in that song were hot. In Fit Hot Guys, 33.3% of the men in that song were hot.

 

NATE:

that's not—

 

REBECCA laughed and shook her head. Smiling

He got you there, Nate.

She winked at Trent and stood.

Anyone hungry, thirsty? I am!

She headed to the kitchen, humming to herself.

 

TRENT follows her and puts in a bagel & goat cheese

 

NATE:

 I'll just get a Slim Fast

 

TRENT:

nope.

 

NATE:

...fine, roasted vegetables.

 

REBECCA:

 What else Nate? (She called out, looking for the pan she needed. Men....so picky.)

You need to eat more and veggies, while good don't have the substance.

She smiled up at Trent and kissed him

Have I told you that I love you, yet today?

*giggles*

 

NATE:

 wtf vegetables are the perfect food

 

TRENT:

 I'll make him a bagel too.

 

NATE:

NOOOOOOOOO


LOPEZ

"Slim fast is trash first of all. There's far better options. That however .. besides the point. Neither of them are respecting he's on a diet of some kind? How do you go from as healthy as you can get to a wad of bread which is more or less just carbs. Bagel or not.... What kind of bagel are you making him? That's another question. Also, no, you should having way better protein shakes and some vegetables or fruits for breakfast. Not slim fast and a carrot. Especially if you do any kind of work outs throughout the day. I get there worry.... I do.... You sound borderline idiotic but instead of forcing their worry on you with Bagels there was way better alternatives. Shake, fruits and or veggies, that actually would have been .... I hate slim fast but you wouldn't have died. Anyway scrap that shake it's fucking disgusting.... You lot couldn't have made this idiot veggies and chicken? What's wrong with you? FISH! Are you all retarded as well as nosey? By no means am I saying the blonde himbo sounds smart talking about veggies and slim fast but none of you were any better and by the end of it you were just being obnoxious, nosey, and forceful. He's a grown fucking man. He can eat sand if he wants to" 

 

PENRYN

His eating disorder is somewhat of a plot point in the main fic, but you're right that everyone involved is being completely fucking stupid about this.


Lyle

"This is why he's my medic. Please don't be stupid.... But in that note go fuck yourself if you want to!" 🤣

 

Lopez

"Which you fucking do all the damn time... and ya.. Mental disorder is also another thing. No, no, do this now.... Is not how that's handled tho"

 

Lyle

"My dick still hurts..."

 

"Jesus Christ...." Lopez eye rolling.


BLAINE

I'm sorry, what does his dick have to do with anything?

 

Lopez

"if you don't know...don't ask..."

 

AKUMA

I'm sorry, did my glass vagina hurt you when you were fucking me in my SLEEP?

 

Lyle

"What!!! How'd I take that and not electricity!!??" 


Miles

"OKAY PLEASE..... Don't make me shove mine down your throat to shut you up knuckle head!!"

 

Lyle eyebrow waggling.

 

POST-EDIT RENA

Don't threaten him with a good time 😉

 

Z-Dog

"You all have ADHD.... ANYWAY" 


TRENT, to Rebecca

💖💖💖💖😘😘😘😘

 

REBECCA gets out a small portion of grilled chicken and sets that to cook, since she was hungry. Smiles up at Trent and winks

He is helpless, I swear. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

 

TRENT:

It's just body image issues. I hope you don't mind me saying, but he's perfect; he doesn't need to diet as hard as he does

 

REBECCA:

I don't mind, and in another world, I would have to agree with you but...I think you are perfect.

She finished the chicken and cut it in half and plated it with the cooked veggies and went to set it in front of Nate.

Eat.

 

NATE:

. . . Thank you.

 

TRENT, 

️ Thank you so much, I am. But seriously, Nathaniel, the reason I have a stronger body than you is because I fuel up more.

 

REBECCA:

yea...what he said.

She sat down and began to eat.

Seriously though, the way you work out, it is lucky you haven't died yet. And that would be a tragedy. Honestly


Lopez

"Welp... my other point proven" 

 

NATE:

... I am pretty hungry.

*Eats food*


Lopez

"Wow, hunger! What a novel concept! Ok I'm done...." 

 

TRENT:

 We can both lift you easily, but ...well. I've never had an "accident" after drinking a homemade kale smoothie.

 

REBECCA nearly choked on her food as she tried not to laugh

 

NATE:

THANKS.

 

REBECCA finished up her food and went to clean up

You guys got to get some new stories...

 

NATE:

I don't know, I think "I watched Brokeback Mountain in bed with my friend and our girlfriends assumed we were cheating" is a pretty funny story


LYLE

"Funny STORY!" 

 

TRENT:

well, we did just finish showering and were in only our underpants

 

REBECCA paused and looked at Nate with a look...

Really? You want to go THERE? Let's not, shall we...

 

NATE:

it's not like we kissed. Again.

 

REBECCA:

wait...when you say you finished showering...?

 

TRENT:

I need a shower buddy to keep me from drowning, he needs one to keep him from passing out

 

REBECCA:

No... Nate only needs one when he doesn't eat and passes out. He knows what he has to do.

She shook her head.

I know your reason...but Nates is NOT justifiable.


CIN

Disordered eating is "not justifiable".

 

SERLEINA

YOU WOULD KNOW, FATASS!

 

Lopez

"Are you mother fucking serious!!?? Pinche puta needs to fuck off with this HORSESHIT!!!!"

 

Z-Dog

"Understatement...... How is an extreme anxiety disorder and an eating disorder comparable like that at all? They're both terrible and to some uncontrollable"

 

PRAGER

"I hate her..." 


PENRYN

Also, yes to keep beating a dead horse, but REBECCA BUNCH from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend would NEVER tell someone that their mental illness “wasn’t justifiable”. That's not to say she wouldn't invalidate the hell out of them in other ways, but as much of a bitch as she was to Trent, Darryl, Karen, anyone mentally ill who wasn't her, she would still never say "Your disorder isn't justifiable." 


TRENT:

it was my idea, actually... because he's passed out twice and scared the hell out of me 😥

 

REBECCA bit her lip and tried not to let her emotions get ahold of her.

 

NATE:

Before you get mad, there was no touching involved. and I tried to tell him, I did eat this time. He just wanted to make sure I was safe.

 

REBECCA looked back and forth at them, not at all sure what she thought

This is.... weird...for me....

 

TRENT:

Okay. Then George can be Nathaniel's shower buddy from now on, and when you're not around, I'll just wait 🥰

 

Now REBECCA was all kinds of confused. that was what she wanted, yes? Why then did she feel so weird? About all of this?


Z-Dog

"I'd guess it was this thing called guilt but.... Narcissists don't know what that is"

 

PENRYN

She's not even supposed to be a narcissist! She's a bloody fucking BORDERLINE!

 

Z-Dog

"Yet... Here we are"

 

CYGNET

I mean, we know some narcissists who are also borderline, and Rebecca did have her narcissistic moments in canon. Quite a few, actually.

 

PENRYN

THIS IS STILL OUT-OF-CHARACTER AND I HATE IT!


 TRENT snuggles up beside her and feeds her a piece of toast

 

REBECCA smiles faintly up at her Beloved and takes a bit of toast

Thanks babe.

She still wasn't sure how she felt, but this was good.

 

NATE watches Trent chatter easily & wonders how anyone can be so free and uncomplicated as the Maddock siblings

 

TRENT, quietly to Rebecca

is everything okay? Do you want to talk about this?

 

REBECCA looks up at Trent and shakes her head slightly

It's alright, Love. We see things in different ways...I am not sure I can say anything that would not be.... well...I am not sure what to say exactly...


Z-Dog

"Let's make this about ME!!!!" 

 

TRENT:

 Let's start with what's on your mind, sweetie

 

NATE:

Hey, like I said, I'm not trying to "steal" your man....

 (Under his breath) just maybe borrow him once in a while.

 

TRENT:

Nope.

 

REBECCA looked over at Nate and cut her eyes, before calming her expression and looking up at Trent.

So many things are on my mind, Love. I can't focus on just one.

 

TRENT:

Hmm... Well, we can talk about all of them. I like getting to understand you better.

 

REBECCA internally winced at that, as she wasn't sure his outlook on things and hers, matched up. Which wasn't exactly bad.... just… she didn't want to seem like a green-eyed monster or something weird like that.

 

BEX

poor Rebecca though...she wants to talk, but isn't sure how to make Trent or Nate understand her state of mind as far as some things go

 

SIGYN

Trent probably would understand her better than Nate, because Nate's singular focus is that he wants his forbidden fruit. He's not nearly as excited to sleep with Trent in the AU

 

TRENT:

um, nice.

 

REBECCA:

I know that you are friends and I get that and don’t want to...interfere… with that...no that's not the right word.

 

TRENT listens, with a gentle hand on her shoulder

 

REBECCA:

I'm just not used to...whatever it is you two are doing. Male on male affection. I think the part that messes with my mind the most is I KNOW you two love each other...and in a small way, it drives me insane...

*Sighs softly and looks away, feeling slightly ashamed*

wasn't I enough...?

It came out whisper soft. So soft that she knew she probably shouldn't have asked it, but it had been bubbling inside of her for days.

I'm sorry.... I just don’t...understand is all.... but I'm trying. Honest, I am.


Miles

"No, you're actually first rate trash" 

 

CIN

She's so fucking whiny and dramatic about this! 


Lyle

"I imagine this as if I had two super-hot babes into me.... That also fuck each other. Why the fuck would I fucking complain??!! Seriously!!"

 

CYGNET

RIGHT?!

 

Lopez

"That is super special.... But she's also trying to play it off a bit homophobic when in reality it's literally just her own insecurities and bullshit"

 

Lyle

"Yeah, I was gonna say. The whole.... Two MEN oh my gawd was a bit fucking much"


"Well I mean, sometimes the trash won't just take themselves out unfortunately" Miles in conclusion.

 

PENRYN

Canon Rebecca was into the idea of two men! She watched gay porn for HOURS at a time! She had trouble choosing between Josh and Greg at one point and decided she'd like to be with BOTH of them, and I'm sure she fantasized about them together! This is just so fucking horribly OOC; this makes me feel SORRY for Canon Rebecca to see how horribly she's being butchered.


TRENT:

Honey, of course you're enough! You're a goddess! You've brought hope and light back into my life.

 

NATE:

... Rebecca, you're a lot. And I mean that in a good way. It's not just that we both love each other - we also both love you.

 

REBECCA looked back at them both and turned her attention more on Nate for the moment.

that's just it...I'm still mad at you deep inside and I'm mad at myself for still being mad. You apologized.... why can't I let it go...?

She looked down and blinked tears out of her vision. Great! Why was she upset now!?

 

NATE:

to be fair, I was being a dick

 

REBECCA:

 it's not just that... (she said softly. Still not looking at anyone)

if...if you hadn't raised your hand to me...if I hadn't pushed you...would this even be happening right now?

She hid a sniff

I don't know...I had a hand in this, it's partially my fault...

She trails off and clams up.

 

NATE:

Oh.

 

TRENT:

 ... It's not your fault, Rebekitty.

 

REBECCA:

yea...you see? It all happened...all of this because we got into a fight and Trent thought he had to protect me and take his power back from you. If we hadn't and had just left like I knew we should have...tell me...would any of this be happening?

She looked at Nate and she DID care for him, but it was Trent she loved.

 it is my fault...because as soon as Paula opened her mouth, I should have followed you out. Instead...I pushed Nate into a confrontation...and now I am more confused than ever...


Lyle

"So that's how it happened..... Hey Mansk, how you feeling over there buddy? Any type of way?"

 

Mansk

"Nope, Trent’s twisted"

 

Lyle

"Oh, good!! Tell Gabby I said to choke on a dick"

 

Mansk

"No....." 

 

TRENT:

 ... Oh, dear... No, it isn't your fault. I did realize I liked Nathaniel after seeing how he looked at me when I was licking blood off his face, but I think I would have come to think he was cute either way.

 

NATE:

And the fact that he has snuff fantasies about me is incredibly fucked up, but it's also kind of hot.

 

TRENT:

It's true that I might not have lost my mind and asked you for a threesome with him in the middle of sex, but there is a chance I would have asked you eventually.

 

NATE:

you WHAT?! Jesus. No wonder she hates me so much still

 

That wasn't exactly the answer REBECCA had wanted to hear, but she understood...sort of. she was all kinds of messed up inside and she didn’t know how this would end.


REBECCA

I--I need a moment...excuse me.

She stood and made beeline straight for the bathroom, where she shut and locked the door, without realizing she did so. Everything was so hazy...her insides were burning...she couldn't breathe! What was happening? Her thoughts all a mess, she sunk to the floor and places her head on her knees, hands over her head and ears, eyes squeezed shut as she tried to block everything out. She was fine...she was fine.... they were all fine...she loved Trent...he loved her...but he also loved Nate and Nate loved her...but she wasn’t sure how she felt about Nate yet when in some deep level she knew she had feelings for him too! All was confusing, pain, dark, light, sweet, damning, saving! She screamed loudly in an attempt to drown out her thoughts! It was all too much at one time...having built up for days, finally vented. Too much...and all she could do was scream! Scream till she damn near went hoarse!


PENRYN

That is a disproportionately dramatic reaction.


AKUMA

What do you mean? She's not getting her way so it's perfectly understandable!


Lyle

"On that note, Snitches get stitches!"

 

Mansk

"And bitches end up in ditches"

 

Miles

"LADIES!"

 

CIN

I couldn’t agree more, boys.


Miles

"ISN'T THAT EXCITING!!"

 

Z-Dog

"She probably sounded like someone falling to their death actually"

 

Lopez

"Pity it wasn't true"

 

CIN

Like I said, whiny and dramatic. 


NATE:

Is she okay?!


PENRYN

 No. She needs therapy


Miles

"And a straitjacket" 


Lopez

"Crazy, I was crazy once"

 

CIN

Ooh, ooh! Crazy, I was crazy once! They locked me in a padded room. I loved it there. I hated it there. I died there. They buried me in the ground. They planted a flower on me. One of the roots grew up and one of the roots grew down. It tickled my nose. It drove me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once!

 

CYGNET

And yet I’m the one who was actually committed.

 

CIN

Yeah, but I’m the one Piffy taught that to!


PRAGER

"I was in a room, a rubber room, with rats! Rubber rats!!!"


CIN

Ooh! ”Rats! RATS! RATS! THOUSANDS! MILLIONS OF THEM! ALL THESE WILL I GIVE TO YOU, IF YOU WILL OBEY ME!” (in a pitch-perfect imitation of 1931 Renfield)


TRENT:

 I think she's having a panic attack, but let's just let her get it out of her system. I'll have some drinkable yogurt delivered.

 

 It wouldn't end! Didn’t end! Why was no help coming? Reality was fading....and the worst sound of all other than REBECCA'S screams...was the silence.


SERLEINA

HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND!

 

TRENT knocks on the door

Sweetie?

 

REBECCA sat there, unmoving. Unhearing. Her hands tight over her ears and her eyes squeezed shut. Her breathing slow. Drifting. All was silent now...and that scared her.


SERLEINA

OH NO! THE SILENCE! IT BURRRRNNNNSSSS! I CAN'T STAND MY OWN COMPANY AND THE THOUGHTS SWIRLING ROUND MY HEAD!!! I NEED NOISE TO DROWN IT OUT! BRING THE NOOOIIIIIIISE! RAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH

 

AKUMA

That explains a lot. Also, OH NO! IT’S SILENT AS THE GRAVE! DOES NOBODY CARE THAT I’M HERE?! THAT I’M SUFFERING? PITY MEEEEEEEEEEE, WUUUUHHHHHHH

 

CIN

I’ll say it again: What a whiny fucking BITCH! 


PENRYN

Especially after making such a production over how “Nathaniel just passed out FOR ATTENTION! Nathaniel just does drugs FOR ATTENTION! Nathaniel has an eating disorder FOR ATTENTION! All Nathaniel’s symptoms are FOR ATTENTION!”

 

SYKES

Dude for reals.....

 

PENRYN

What the FUCKING FUCK IS THIS SHIT THEN

 

SYKES

Everything she does is to get attention. With every character

 

PENRYN

She's such a fucking hypocrite

 

TRENT kicks the door in and kneels in front of her

Hey...

 

REBECCA, not realizing it was Trent, she shakes her head and refuses to move.

Uh-uh...!

She shivers, her eyes still firmly closed.

 

Lopez

"Crazy! I was crazy once!!!!"

 

Prager

"I was in a ROOM!!"

 

Lopez

"A rubber ROOM!!!"

 

Prager

"With RATS!!!"

 

Lopez

"RUBBER RATS!!" 


TRENT:

Rebekitty?

 

REBECCA:

 I'm not here! (she said stubbornly.)

Her breathing slowed down though but her trembles still shook her small frame.


PENRYN

A. That makes no sense, and 

B. She doesn't have a particularly small frame. She's a size 12 or 14 US; that's average.


Lopez

"Crazy.... I was crazy once...."

 

Miles

"Ok I think everyone gets it!!"

 

Lopez

"I mean, no more repetitive then she's being. I'm half expecting her to start rocking and mumbling it" 


REBECCA

why is it so bloody dark! (she all but whimpered out)

 

TRENT stands and gently holds her

Your eyes are closed, sweetie

 

Feeling his arms go around her, REBECCA settles some. His embrace is safe. His scent is known. It relaxes her but a little. Slowly, she hesitantly opens her eyes and is blinded by how bright it is. But she knows him...would know him, even if she were blind.


REBECCA

 Trent? 

Her voice soft.

I'm...I'm sorry...

 

TRENT, soothingly

 It's okay. You're okay. I know you're processing a lot right now.

 

REBECCA:

No but I really AM sorry babe.

She sighed and cuddled against him.

tell Nate for me.... please? (she whispered.)

She didn’t want him to feel badly about this either.

 

PENRYN

This reads a lot more like "I don't want people to be mad at me" than "I recognize my actions were wrong and would like to make amends."


TRENT:

Okay. Do you want to go back out and cuddle? I can send him away if...

 

REBECCA nodded faintly to the cuddling part but sniffed slightly

you don't have to send him away...he wouldn't understand...don’t want...to make him...feel bad. (she said brokenly as she was suddenly so tired)

 

SERLEINA

YEAH, TEMPER TANTRUMS WEAR OUT MY TODDLER, TOO!


TRENT picks her up and carries her out to the bedroom and gently sets her down and snuggles with her

 

NATE:

Everything ok?


Lopez

"Pssst Nathaniel.... I have a secret.... She's crazy"

 

PENRYN

And the way she’s BEING crazy isn’t even canonically accurate!

 

CYGNET

Real talk, at this point, they should just call 911 and bounce. I normally wouldn't advocate calling the police on someone having a mental health breakdown, but again, this is so BLATANTLY just out of spite and to get all of Trent's attention on her. It feels like she's competing with Nathaniel to see who can be the sickest.

 

TRENT:

Yes, she's just tired. While we're in this part of town, you and George and Cat should check out the boat rides.

 

NATE:

 Gotcha.

*Goes off to find George and Cat to go on the love boat*

 

REBECCA:

bye... (she says softly as she watches Nate leave. Turning to snuggle more into Trent's embrace.)

I love you, Trenty Bear... (she says softly, looking up at him as her eyes flutter slightly.)

It’s obvious she’s fighting to stay awake. Long day on top of too many emotions...tired.

 

TRENT snuggles her and goes nap-nap

goodnight my love


Z-Dog

"And we'll see you next time on IT'S ALL ABOUT ME NOT YOU!!!" 

Next!
