Woah woah, don't eat anything! You're far too delicate for that. Instead what you want is to make soup. Do you have any dehydrated soup? Warm it up and sip it slooooowly.

Yeah, you aren't going to be able to eat solids today. drinking may be painful. Heat up some chicken broth, or buy a bottle of orange juice. actually, this is hospital- worthy, you ought to have a nutrient IV in you, they won't put you in the ER or anything, but you would definitely get a room for yourself, malnutrition is serious business. being at a hospital also provides two other benefits; you can ask about shelters for abused women there, as that really is a thing you should look into, and your ex-boyfriends bros are less likely to find you and kill you for putting him in the slammer.

I don't want to eat it suddenly, watching it pour out.

It'll be disgusting. Make me ugly. I stop breathing, trying to shut out the delicious smell.

No, that's the wrong attitude. Not eating makes you sick. Sick is not pretty. Hurting yourself does not make the ugly go away- because pain and hurt and sick are ugly things. And you should not inflict them on yourself, or others.

That means what you are telling yourself ifs wrong. And if anyone else told you that, then they are wrong too.

I don't have a fridge anymore-Jackson sold it to get some money for drugs. He said I don't need it since I don't eat anymore.

I'll just put it in a plastic container and hope it lasts.

You might want to find that halfway house. They're not really for just druggies, they're for anyone who's halfway out of a house. Druggies just tend to need that sort of thing. You might be able to help there, and even find someone to talk with.

Well... you did do as I said, (even though I said a few sips) so I'll back off a bit for now. Drink some water and try to find some place to stay. Try to come back for lunch though, even if it's just a few bites. We can get you back to 3 meals a day.

A bit after our first week together. He told me he wanted to fuck me, and I agreed. We went to our place, and undressed. But he took one look at me and laughed, saying I was too fat. If I lost some weight, I'd be good enough.

Everytime he took me out to eat, at least three times a week, he'd make a big public deal about my weight. So I just ate salads. Soon I stopped finishing even the salads. Jackson finally said I was skinny enough, and fucked me every night.

That's what I looked like before I started loosing weight-I took a picture to make comparisons.

I guess I'll seek out a halfway house, then. I can't afford this place for the rest of the month.

I'll go ahead and get dressed, make some calls, pack up and leave.
>>
No. 485871 ID: be7fd9

Why are you still listening to anything he told you? You saw yesterday he was no good. He's been abusing you and hurting you- even with his words. He's poisoned your mind if he's got you believing you don't need to eat, as sure as he left that shiner on your face.

If someone proves to be an untrustworthy bastard trying to whore you out? Then you can't trust anything he told you.

(I really think we're looking for more of a clinic than a halfway house, but eh, semantics).
>>
No. 485873 ID: 960703

You looked better when you ate regularly; not that you're ugly, but now I feel like you'd snap like a twig if anyone tried anything. You do have a strong enough will to make it though, just take it a step at a time.

If you're moving your stuff by yourself, take a bite/sip every time your stomach growls or you feel hungry; even if you don't feel like eating. You gotta keep your strength up for moving, and food is the best way of doing that.

3 HOURS LATER

...This is the place. There's a small, windowless building, which seems to be attached to a much larger one. It was a 45 minute drive on the bus-I left a note on my apartments door for my landlord, apologizing for not being able to give my last payment.

I walk in. It's the reception office-this place is run by the local hospital.

I walk up to the short, chubby kobold at the desk and tell her I'd like to take residence.

She nods and clicks on her keyboard a few times.

>"Name?"

"Alice Tilly."

>"Age?"

"21."

>"Current job or occupation?"

"...None."

>"Insurance?"

"I-I thought I didn't need any to stay here..?"

>"Oh, you don't deary! I've just gotta ask. Now, what is your reason for staying?"

She eyes me up and down, her eyes lingering on the shiner and my tiny frame.

>"Drug abuse? Domestic abuse recovery? Eating disorders?"

"Uhm, the last two.."

She gives a nod, offering a small smile.

>"You'll be staying in dorm B, second floor, orom 23. Just follow the signs on the wall, and you'll get there. In about half an hour, the floor leader will come and introduce himself, and take you the cafeteria for lunch. There's a bathroom with showers a few doors down from you, so you can freshen up if you want. Enjoy your stay!"

...I didn't expect it to be a nice set up like this. I had some ghetto, badly run place stuck in my head.

Sorry it's late but in response to the photo you were perfect that way, you were a proper weight and beautiful. It's sad that Jackson would put you into such an awful state of mind about that great of a body. Anyways, rehab centers are usually okay if there is a proper affiliation, the fact it;s run by the local hospital means you will get proper help, so way to go in your choice.

That's... good, but not quite right. You are here to heal, in many ways. The hospital is here to facilitate that process. If you feel a debt to them, pay it by really healing, not just doing what they say because they say it. It's okay if you don't understand the difference right away though.

Ah, that is a good point..! Though hopefully I won't have to do quite as terrible deeds here as I am used to...This place seems very orderly, so I don't expect to be asked to do anything outrageous or senseless.

And slime folk aren't too hard to come across, no. They tend to stick to the sewers, since not many people like them, and now that they crawl around everywhere smelling like washed up shit, everyone has even less respect for them.
Only a few slimes end up with their own houses. They come here from the swamplands, thinking the city will do them good, but quickly figure out how wrong they are.

For a few moments, I wonder why this slime is here.

I'll talk to them if I see them inside-I don't really feel like I have the right to tromp around wherever I please, including out there...I'll ask the floor leader when he comes.

And I certainly won't ask her! ...Him? I-I can't really tell, to be honest...But, it just seems like it's, uh, their business and not mine. I think there's like, a group talk, right? Maybe the slime will show up there.

And...I dunno, really. Depending if they have enough slime-and if they've got enough water to be that flexible-they can take a form like a persons. And...I dunno, they can pick things up and all, but they're still really squishy and, well, slimey. I dunno how they function.

When I glance back out the window, the slime is crawling away from the tree at an alarmingly fast rate for having no legs.

Pssst!!!! I am fine with most slurs but if you could please refrain from using 'retarded' as an insult on this thread?

In any case, however, hunger pills are quite real, though they usually double with another affect. Such as for me, there have been cases where i had to take pills to not eat because of stress/depression binging and pills to make me eat from similar problems

Eat some salad here, preferably one with a tiny bit of meat. Noone will think that badly of you for eating one. I would never think someone eating a salad would be eating too much. If nothing else, take some back with you. The good thing about eating here though is that it gives you an excuse to talk to and meet people. They'll think it's a bit weird if they're eating but you're not.

Salad. That's a good idea. The main serving table has small cups of salad assortments, and I grab a cup of iceberg lettuce. I believe they're practically just water, so I don't feel as bad eating it.

I turn to the doctor, who is frowning heavily.

"M-May I eat somewhere else? You can come, of course, I just...Don't want to eat with everyone in here.."

He shakes his head a little.

Alice you are a wonderful person. You are alive and well and you can do amazing things. Even standing and walking are miracles to one who has given away that power. Things may be bad, but you are lifting up that lettuce in your hand. As long as you have life in you, that hand can lift you as high as you need to go. You can get better. You can heal from this. You don't deserve to die. And death is no escape, because in the coming zombie apocalypse you will be forced to walk the world once more, hungry instead not for lettuce, but only brains!

((updates will be a lot more frequent when my new tablet arrives wow and probably better and less hurried!))

After the first piece, I manage to down the rest. As soon as my fingers rapped against the bottom of the salad cup, a huge weight falls onto my shoulder, and I swear that I feel the morsels ripping against my stomach, angry I ate so much.

I cast a quick glance around to see if anyone is watching me eat all of that, and find that Dr. Miller is frowning at me. Judging me. I open my mouth to apologize, but he speaks first.

>"Do...You wish to eat any more, Alice? There's plenty for everyone here."

I can practically hear the anger dripping from his words, thinking that I am a pig, a selfish pig who ate so much that the others are going to starve to death, the ones that deserve to eat and--

>"Alice?? Are you alright? Do you need to go to nurse?"

"I-I'm fine..! I'm sorry, I ate before I came, I didn't mean to eat so-"

He leads me to the room, and takes a seat. I stand off, watching to see what all the others are doing.
There are 8 chairs, all put in a circle format. People seem to be sitting where ever they want.

There's the slime I saw earlier! The chair next to them is empty.

They...Smell like that toy thing, silly putty, kind off. But it's really strong. They smell rather clean otherwise!

In a few minutes, the whole ed with others, all taking a seat. I make mental note that everyone here appears to be female, other than the smileperson.

Once everyone is seated, Miller clears is throats and claps his hands.

>"EVERYONE! I'm glad to see those who showed up did! We've got too new members, as you've noticed, being these two lovely ladies sitting next to each other. Why don't you two introduce yourselves and your reason for being here?"

I guess that answers what the slime is. I REALLY don't want to speak first, but slime speaks first, thankfully.

>"EEEYY', I'm Blurp!" She cooes in a deepish voice, very...ghetto sounding. I can't tell where or how she's speaking, either.
>"I'm here 'cause Imma bit smarter than most of em' globs down enn da gutters, even if I ain't soundin' like I'm all too intell-ihent. But dats why I'm heer'! I gotta gets me schoolin', prove I ain't nothin' but a dumb pile a' goo!"
Everyone seems rather taken back, but seem impressed by her claims.
>"Now down in da' dumps, I spen' some baaad time wiff' bad slimes and I got mine body all screwed all up! I gots some bad drugs in ma' body that can--"

Dark slime splatters onto my face, a bubble bursting from under her...slime.

>"HRAAAHHH! Like dat right there! I dun burst erry' few hours a couple times, 'cause ma slime all poisoned! Gotsa' get ma body offa' tha' stuff. An' sorry, gal. It don't stain."


...T-that was interesting.

But what should I say now?! Everyone is looking at me for my turn, and I've suddenly got a headache. My entire back side of my head is pulsing, and I feel a bit disoriented...Just, feed me words so I can repeat them without having to think...

Say you're here because you had an abusive boyfriend and that you're here to get better after what he did to you. Everyone here can see how skinny you are, so whether or not you tell them, they will know the main problem. If you want to face it head-on and earn more respect, you can say that you have trouble making yourself eat. (even you know that you're supposed to eat more than once a day, right? If nothing else, eat 3 smaller meals.)

"I....I had an abusive boyfriend. H-he made me so skinny, I mean, you know...I can't eat.." The next few words spill out without much thought. I feel as if an immense pressure is crushing my head.
"'cause I'm fat..Useless, stupid." I'm slightly aware that I'm swaying dangerously-I feel a pressure on my arms, someone touching me.

...I'm tired.

There's a lot of noise around me, and I want it to stop.
People are crowding all around me.
I smell iron.

Yep. well, we told you, and now you have toxic material on your face too. se you when you wake up.

That's blood. Also, I think you're passing out.

[SOMETIME LATER]


When I come to my senses, I think I'm blind.

...But it turns out my eyes are just closed.

I don't want to open them.

I hear a beeping noise, a constant humming, and a soreness in my wrist. Actually, there is an overall stinging over my body-namely my shoulders, hips and chest.

..My head feels weird. I raise my hand that is not attached to an IV and brush numb fingers over my scalp. It's....shaved.

Maybe you're additionally allergic to that toxic slime... or are too weak from eating far too LESS!
They probably shaved you to get the stuff away fast...
>>
No. 488622 ID: 908c2d

Huh. Shaved head is a little weird for someone who's just starving. Maybe you were worse off than we knew?

Your options right now basically amount to trying to go back to sleep, or opening your eyes and finding out what's going on.

You could always wheel around the IV holder, leaning on it and stumbling blindly because your eyes are closed.

I have no clue why my head is shaved. A sudden smell hits me, one of cleanliness and...well, a smell that reminds me of just 'white'.

I open my eyes-the room is nearly blindingly white. There are two giant light fixtures embedded in the ceiling, but neither are on. The light is streaming in from a single window and a door that seems to be behind a curtain.

My head hurts.

[I GOT THE FILES MIXED UP]

A man wearing a white jacket and blue scrubs walks in. He seems surprised to see that I'm awake, but greets me with a smile.

>"Alice! Everyone will be pleased that you're up so early."

He waits for a response, but I can't seem to make my mouth move.

>"Alice, before anything else...I've got good-ish news, and bad news...What would you like to hear first?"

I stare at my feet. Or rather, the lumps under my white bedsheets. My wrist is pulsing where the IV is in. What do I want to hear first? Nothing feels real.
