♕┊❝no, you never have and i’ve come to accept that, by now, you likely won’t in the future. i just wish you’d use the front door so you can be properly greeted instead of this whole ‘sneaking in’ business that you so enjoy,❞ he shook his head, allowing for a little sigh to pass through his lips before continuing on. ❝is something wrong? or did you just want to drop in for afternoon tea?❞ he sips from his cup, eyeing the maintained contact between the imported silk curtains and her fingertips but continuing not to mention it at all.

EYES ROLLED AT HIS COMPLAINT. Selina couldn’t remember the last time she had used a door. Had long ago given up because most people just slammed it shut in her face. Bruce was different, sure, but old habits died hard. DO SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH? IT KINDA BECOMES ROUTINE.  ‘But that would spoil the element of surprise,’ the thief remarked, like the answer should be obvious. It was like he forgot who he was talking too sometimes. Hand dropped down from silk curtains and instead, full attention was turned on him, an honest expression appearing upon hardened features. ‘Things are weird out there. Like more than usual. Y’SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO IVY, RIGHT?  Just thought I’d stop in and make sure things were good here.’ So like her to pretend she’s here for his benefit rather than admit the monsters shook her. 

♕┊❝well, i’ve attended multiple meetings thus far and have some scheduled in the coming weeks to sort out some things. they don’t take me seriously, they see me as the CHILD with a vocabulary wider than it should be, whose orders are simply a SUGGESTION when, in fact, i am nothing of the sort. perhaps the joke is on them in this situation and such an assumption will come back to bite them later on. one can only hope.❞ his words are followed by a laugh, a rare show of emotion after all of this time. he’s smiling, finally, however he’s keeping it very small due to the circumstances under which they are meeting. this wasn’t a business meeting, of course, but he might be able to make even more of a valuable asset out of the other male. he’d begun thinking that way recently, as though he were tens of years older and a businessman of higher stance. 

He could understand more than one might realise. Most people at Oscorp treated him like a child even now. IT COULD BE AWFULLY TIRESOME TO LIVE IN YOUR PARENT’S SHADOW.  To be surrounded with high expectations that he knew he could never meet. Oh, if people understood the truth of what his father had become in his final moments. Perhaps than expectations would lower. But he couldn’t tell them. He couldn’t tarnish Norman’s reputation like that. If not out of respect, then because tarnishing it would mean tarnishing his own too. ‘Mhm,’ the elder hummed in agreement, snapping out of his own thoughts. ‘Y’sound like a man with a smart head on his shoulders. I’m sure people will start listening soon enough. AND IF NOT? MAKE THEM LISTEN.  You’re the boss, Bruce. Fire someone. That’ll get their attention.’ 

♕┊bruce had waited for a minute or so, watching the older with calculating gaze trained on the so-called PENGUIN’S face as he seemed to think up an answer to a question yet to be asked. of course, he listened as words spouted from the man’s lips, each doing more than flowing in one ear and out the other as the lad actually HEARD and UNDERSTOOD what was being said. ❝i wouldn’t quite call it CRAZY talk, mr. cobblepot. a majority of TALK is simply meaningless, with no true definition or reason behind it. and that speech of yours is not just talk. that much, at my young age, i am able to assure you of.❞

  ❝ You are a tenacious little fellow, arent you. What can I say; I like you. Perhaps thats why I would hate to see something bad happen to you. ❞

Yesterday, December 16th, my cat had a seizure. Rushing him to the emergency vet, multiple tests were done that determined a variety of things were wrong, so severe that treating it would have been useless, and prolonging his life for an extra few months with weekly check ups and needles would have just added to his suffering. So we made the decision to euthanize and cremate him.

 All of this was expensive, as one could imagine, and being as we’re on a fixed budget at home ( all on disability with monthly social security checks ) the bill was far too high for us to even afford, so my brother paid for the entirety of it out of his tax money, and needs paid back asap. 

Two checks immediately go to bill and rent, with 400$ out of mine contributing, that doesn’t leave me with enough to pay him back ( the full amount of the bill is $678.00. ) The vet hospital doesn’t take payments and the Care Card they asked me to apply for that would have paid for it all and I would pay that back in monthly installments, declined my application, so that didn’t leave us with any other option. 

Honestly, there’s nothing I can really say other than the fact that this is dire. He needs this all back as soon as possible and I have no means of paying him in one fell swoop, and we can’t short the rent or the bills without either getting evicted or something shut off, and with the freezing weather right now, either would be devastating. I’m not asking for a miracle, but any sort of help would be so very appreciated and such a huge relief and burden off my shoulders and my mom’s. I can’t offer much in return other than a million thank you’s, but hopefully my gratefulness can be felt. 

I know trusting anybody on the internet with sincerity is difficult, here’s a picture of the vet bill itself, ( the only thing blurred is my last name and phone number ) with everything they did on it and the prices and the final amount. As I said, I’m not asking for a miracle, I don’t expect to somehow get this all up just by asking for help, but anything, no matter how little or how much, will be going directly to this and will be a huge help regardless. 

The best way is through Paypal, as I don’t have a bank account for any other website and can’t wait to get a check in the mail, though I do have a Paypal debit card that I can just use at an atm to withdrawal. My Paypal email is stumpomaticx@yahoo.com and as I’ve said a million times already, a thousand thank you’s are out to anybody able or willing to help us out right now, or anybody else that can’t but signal boosts this anyway.
