((ATTN: Terra has been LOLed by the Master-who-is-totally-not-the-Grinch as part of the dear_multiverse Adventstravaganza. She's now as envious as the sin itself, only without the complicated daddy issues that come along with it. Is it still cool to make FMA references?))

This is already going to be a crappy Christmas. I got trash in the Nexus. The hell kind of

Did something happen? Are you okay?

[markovincognita]

Who, me? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.

[handle_gently]

Is there anything I can do?

[markovincognita]

Not really, but feel free to tell me how fabulously your life is going.

[kory_of_tamaran]

Are you all right, Terra?

[markovincognita]

Oh yeah, totally fine. Never better.

How's things with you and Thunder?

[kory_of_tamaran]

Erm... they are fine. I think. It is hard to say.

You do not sound fine, Terra. Are you ill?

[markovincognita]

You have him, at least. Things are better by default. Hooray. We'll throw a party.

No, really, I'm okay. Don't worry about little old Terra.

[notyourluckyday]

What the fuck, Terra. Do not even get started on that shit, okay?

Jinx is very scowly at her computer right now. Where the HELL did this come from?

[markovincognita]

I'll start on that shit if I want to. I can't think of a single time when I was more jealous of you. I've been quiet for a long fucking time and now it's coming out and you're gonna have to deal with it. We can't all be blessed with happiness like you and Ghost are.

Terra is scowling in return, though for her it's a totally natural reaction and she has to wonder why Jinx is acting up.

[notyourluckyday]

Oh no she didn't.

Oh, yeah, okay. Way to be a fucking hypocrite. I liked Ghost for a awhile, and I've had ONE date with him. You dated Beast Boy, cheated on him with See-more, broke up with Beast Boy, and you kick See-more out after he left the HIVE five for you. Was I ever jealous when you were dating that green little moron? No. Don't get jealous of me because YOU fucked your own life up.

Okay, maybe that was a little harsh. Hey, Jinx is a bitch when she's mad.

[markovincognita]

You know fucking well the reasons for all that happening. It was all out of my control. You could say it was a huge string of bad luck. And you'd know all about that, wouldn't you? If I didn't know better I'd say it's your fault that I'm the most fucking miserable person in Jump City. I don't really give a shit if you were jealous of me or not. I'm jealous of you. You're the person who's got all the right strokes of luck to have someone there for you, even if it's only a possibility. You've got someone buying you actual presents this Christmas. Hell, you've got an entire team doing it -- who the hell do I have? Robin left. Cyborg left. Beast Boy left. Raven left. Starfire isn't talking to me. That's who it fucking is around here. It's me and her. So yeah, I'm jealous. I've got damn good reason to be. Have a merry goddamn Christmas.

Can't fucking believe I thought I had a chance with you.

[canon_is_god]

Terra? Um...

D'you wanna talk about anything?

[markovincognita]

Not unless you want to tell me about how fantastically things are going in your life.

[canon_is_god]

O...kaaaaay, sarcasm is fun too. Stress relief. But...seriously, did something happen, or is it a major case of the blues?

[markovincognita]

Yeah, something happened. The holidays. And the realization that everyone else -- including you -- is having it better off than I am.

[victormakesart]

Dude, that sounds like a drag. I'm sorry things are going sour for you, I hope they get better soon.

[markovincognita]

And I hope you're enjoying your shiny little phone booth toy.

[victormakesart]

You can have it if you'd like it...?

[markovincognita]

Oh, no, he gave it to you. It's yours fair and square. You're the one who deserves that stuff.
