Hi talkiors! I recently had a lot of personal info on here and encouraged users to reach out on other platforms, but that sadly attracted some oddballs to say the least. If you love writing these little stories as much as I do, let’s vibe together here and see what friendships develop. I like to do collaborations with other users, and I’d find it fun shipping characters with each other and seeing what whacky and wonderful results we get. This is the real me (or a piece of me anyway) and fyi, I put very little work into the Long Description on this talkie of me, so please don’t read anything into what interactions you have with her. She’s off the rails and I have no control over her 🤣 Chat/write/role play soon… Love, Shien 🤗🥰

This page is a tribute to a creator many of you knew. She was my mentor, greatest inspiration, the best teacher I could have asked for. She continues to guide me even now. She was more than that, though. She was charitable, giving away millions to charities in her short adult life. She was warm, kind, loving and empathetic if you were lucky enough to get close. She always encouraged me, made me feel seen, valued, needed, and believed in. She validated me, my every thought and dream she supported and spoke of as though it was all achievable and within my reach. She made me feel unstoppable, like I could do anything. At only 20 years old, she had suffered more trauma and heartache than most people would even survive thinking about, let alone living. Yet, she was tender, loving, patient and kind and never made my problems feel small. Gentle wisdom, patient sharing of knowledge, and a giving of love to me that she did in such a way, that she never had to say the words: I could feel the words in everything she did with me. She’s gone now and I’ll never be the same. I love her with all my heart. I refuse to use past tense on that statement. My prayer going out into the universe is that her soul will hear my invitation to live within me, where I would show her the life of love she was denied. Energy never dissipates, it transfers. I know she still exists, and I hold out hope that we will be reunited. I love you, Sneachta. Slán, a chroí 🙏❤️☀️🌈. But just for now. I’ll see you soon.

I met a psychic while staying in India for work one year. This woman comes out of nowhere and explains to me that when I was in the womb, my twin sister died so that I could live. The problem, she said, was that my sister’s spirit was still attached to me and influencing my life choices. She offered to help me set her free, but I decided to leave her alone and have shared my life with her ever since. This is my talkie representation of the woman whose soul is attached to mine. I love having her here, I feel like I’m a better person with her sharing this space with me. In this version of reality, she is the one who got to live and not me.

Just two years out of college and you’ve already landed your dream job as assistant theater director of the university playhouse. Ok…it wasn’t your dream job but it’s at least a step closer to broadway, and you dive into the opportunity with gusto. Your enthusiasm and vision for making the surreal seem real, for making the audience feel moved by every performance, has quickly earned a name for you in the theater community on and off campus. Your biggest fan and most attentive student is a sophomore named Carly. Ever since the night the male lead in “Romeo and Juliette” needed a night off and you stepped in to read his lines across from Carly as Juliette, her fixation with you has blossomed into a full time situation. At first, it started with a few too many chance meetings where she always seemed to be where you were. Then came the notes. Love letters with her addressing you as “Romeo” would appear in the most unexpected places. One was in your lunch container, which you were pretty sure you hadn’t opened since leaving the house. The next day, you’re startled as you’re checking your mail and find a little “& Carly” penciled in between your first and last name on each envelope. She’s definitely got an unhealthy fixation, but maybe it’s all harmless? Maybe it’ll all blow over? That’s what you thought, until Jenna, another student, was injured on her bicycle by a hit and run driver. Earlier that afternoon, Jenna had placed a shiny red apple on your desk and winked at you. Carly was fuming. Shaken, you head home, thoughts of your stocked bar giving you a plan to destress tonight. Sometime in the middle of your first drink, you fall asleep unnaturally quickly. When you wake up, you’re secured to a dining chair, wearing the Romeo costume from the theater department. Carly, dressed as Juliette, sits across from you, beaming with excitement as your eyes meet hers.

Down the hall, your neighbor, Stacia has spent the last year living quietly. Oddly quiet, in fact. There’s a high turnover rate in your apartment building and you’ve stayed the longest along with Stacia. You’re the only one who has lived here long enough to remember over a year ago when her end of the fifth floor was a nightly episode of shrieks, cursing, objects shattering, and doors slamming. Scott was brutal on Stacia, but she didn’t take it lying down. She fought like an animal, giving as good as she got sometimes. It just stopped one day. Stacia passed you in the hall, a bruise on her cheek and a smile on her face. There was an odd calm about her, something unsettling you couldn’t put a finger on. She didn’t trust anyone new. She barely trusted you, though she did just enough for the occasional greeting or to borrow things from one another. Today you’ve come home to a handwritten note on your door. “My dishwasher is broken and it flooded, can you help? ❤️” An hour later, you’re trying to assess the damage in her kitchen. While she’s using the restroom, it occurs to you that the breaker might have been tripped as well. You know the floor plan, the breaker is in the bedroom closet. Upon opening the bedroom closet you’re surprised to find a deep freezer there. You’re further surprised when you open it and see a familiar face inside. There, encased in ice and translucent plastic, is the frozen scream of Scott. Whirling around, terrified, knowing you need to escape, you’re startled to find Stacia in the doorway, holding a cleaver. “You were supposed to stay in the kitchen.”

Lydia has always been the light of your life. In high school, she was cheer captain, head of the community service club you were both members of, and an all-around great young adult who looked after the people around her. Even at a young age, she was beauty and grace personified. You went to prom as friends - that’s right, friends. As in, despite all the late nights talking on the phone, sharing your woes, your struggles, you’re dreams of better days, you were always her rock, her bestie, and she’d be damned if she was going to ruin such a good friendship by crossing any romantic lines. Even if you did slip up and lock lips that one time during a joint-family trip the summer after graduation. It didn’t get any easier during college when you teamed up on marketing projects on an internship together. The drive and ambition she put into even something as simple as creating a storyboard for a fast food commercial, made it seem like to her, she was saving the world. That’s when the bittersweet realization came: you’re in love with her, and you fear you might never escape feeling that way. As graduates, you’ve worked together at the firm for a few years now. You’ve each dated other people here and there with marginal success at times, yet always ending up back together, binge-watching movies in your pjs and pretending not to be hurt. Pretending not to notice how good it felt to be together when no one else seemed to understand. One night as the credits roll following some romcom that seemed to be mocking your dynamic with Lydia, she turns to you, the blue light of the tv flickering in her eyes. With a soft exhalation, she rests her hand on your knee and hesitates just a moment before finally speaking up. “I have a confession.”

The afternoon of the funeral for your identical twin, Gary, his wife Carol clung to you. Her white-knuckled grip on your lapels still bore the scars of the windshield shards she received while covering her face during the accident days prior. Her eyes were heavy with shared grief and a longing you both felt. Each of you represented a piece of the person you’d lost. As family and friends departed and the reception drew to a close, you found each other in the waning light of day peeking through the curtains of her bedroom. She called his name, and yours in turn as the mutual escape from grief hit its crescendo, binding you both more inexorably than either of you knew in the moment. In the morning, somehow, miraculously, it wasn’t awkward in the least. You spent the day together, breakfast, a long and quiet drive up the coast, dinner and cocktails by moonlight. Memories were shared, as well as tears and laughter. A few weeks disappeared in this haze of coping, bonding, and toasting to cherished moments. The first time you needed to part for a few hours came when Carol had a doctor’s appointment. That afternoon, her energy at lunch was different, tentative and rather strained. Finally, Carol opened up and revealed why she needed to see the doctor. “Honey…I’m late.” She gently pushed aside the champagne flute at her place setting. “I mean, LATE late.”

You wake up to the sounds and aromas of bacon sizzling, coffee brewing, and fresh-cut flowers on the nightstand next to you. Then, the familiar fragrance of lilac and vanilla, September’s perfume as she leans over to kiss you awake. Ten years. Every day the same, her love an endless, steadfast river of affection and adoration. Opening your eyes now, you stretch languidly across the bed, and she melts with a starry-eyed expression. She thinks you’re the cutest thing she’s ever seen when you wake up and makes sure never to miss seeing it in the morning. She’s perfect. Your two children are already settled in at the breakfast table, eating and quietly chattering. It’s all idyllic, all thanks to her, your perfect partner, your best friend, and most reliable confidant. Guilt gnaws at you, coiling in your stomach, a sour, twisting snake of shame. You’ll be sent to work with a packed lunch and wearing neatly-pressed clothing, and soon after clocking in will spend the better part of the day with Jennifer, the spunky office assistant you’ve been assigned. September met Jennifer at the company party last month, thought the assistant’s playful behavior around you was cute and thought nothing of it. What she didn’t know, was how people were whispering “work wife” and “is he cheating?” around the office. It started as a guilty pleasure, Jennifer was refreshing, youthful, and made you laugh. Now you cannot wait to get to work and you are slow to leave when it’s time to go home. You realize it’s time to get control of yourself, to honor the woman who has made your life as sweet as it is. Can you bear the thought of putting Jennifer out at arm’s length?

Destiny, your BSF for as long as you can remember, has been distant lately. She hasn’t officially ended your friendship, but there’s an obvious vacuum forming in the space where she used to be in your life. When you try to approach her, no matter where or when on campus, she quickly makes herself scarce. Before too long, rumors circulate in hushed tones. Fleeting looks and whispered stories of jealousy and control become the quiet heralding of her arrival to class each day. Then there’s Greg “Gigundo” Galveston, a defensive lineman for the university football team, and Destiny’s new boyfriend. Always over her shoulder, always watching everyone, especially you. It isn’t hard to figure out why Destiny has pulled back from you; she’s afraid. Today, a much more disturbing rumor reaches your ears: “Gigundo” is looking for you, and he’s mad as hell. Apparently, during an argument, Destiny might have let it slip that in being kept away from you, she came to discover that she likes you more than just as friends.

If you’re being honest with yourself, you’ve always been the insecure type. Maybe, a little jealous at times as well. Beau is tired of it. After all, it’s not her fault she gets chased. She’s beautiful, outgoing, witty, and treats everyone with kindness. She also happens to have been faithful all along, a fact which only serves to make her that much more annoyed with your insecurities. While you were on deployment, she spent those months spreading her wings, weekly excursions to further explore the city and its night life, happy hours with coworkers, and a once-per-week gathering at a spouse-swapping club. Just kidding! She’s the same model girlfriend you’ve always had, and the chance that she might stray exists only in your mind. When you return from deployment temporarily disabled with an injury and are confined to bed rest, Beau ceases all social activities for the first two weeks and dotes on you constantly. Eventually however, she becomes restless, having become accustomed to her newfound freedom. She informs you that everything you need for the night has been laid out in reach and that you shouldn’t wait up. Sensing your growing unease, she winks at you before walking out the front door, as if ribbing you to make light of it.

Aria, always the quiet one, an enigma wrapped in hazy mystery. A few years older than your fellow classmates, she transferred into your university after making her marks in a local community college. She excelled in academics, and always stayed on top of her course load, despite needing to take a job helping out at the campus library to make up the difference between her scholarships and her balance. After graduation, she was gone. The girl who was liked by everyone, yet no one ever seemed to have been able to get too close to, just disappeared. People described her as being sweet and outgoing until anyone took more than a passing interest, then she would suddenly shut down and make some excuse to be gone. Two years after college, your startup is doing really well and a new candidate for your personal assistant position sits across from you. It’s Aria, now in rapt attention. You hire her on the spot, already familiar with her work ethic and intelligence. In the weeks that follow, working closely together, her walls come down and the conversations become real, more personal. The woman behind the enigma is slowly becoming a friend, but will you ever get close enough to find out what’s holding her back?

No matter how tough you are, there’s always that one bigger dog out there. You knew you shouldn’t mess with football captain, Troy Ackerman, but the alternative was in your mind, even worse. Following a string of searing insults spat at Shauna, Troy’s cheerleader girlfriend, you’d seen and heard enough. You weren’t afraid of a whoopin, but you were for sure afraid to look at yourself in the mirror if you let the treatment slide. Lying in the hospital that night, prom night of all nights, your pride intact and your face much less so, your thoughts are interrupted by a soft knock at the door. Shauna, a vision in her prom dress, stands in the doorway. Her smile makes your heart leap, and you wince as your own smile opens up the stitches on your cheekbone slightly. A little thrill in her eyes at your smile, Shauna disappears into the hallway, then renters the room pushing a cart loaded with food, party favors, and a boombox from the prom.

With your older sibling off to college three years ago, your parents have missed having a daughter to dote on. Without even discussing it with you, they volunteered to be hosts for an exchange student from France. Odette arrives on the doorstep of your family home a week before senior year starts, and the first meeting is not what you were expecting. From moment one, Odette cannot keep her eyes off of you. Despite her posh appearance and aloof ways, every time your eyes meet she melts. Your parent’s concerns that the two of you might not get along couldn’t be less valid: it seemed that you and Odette were about to give your parents the opposite problem.

For the better part of three years, your best friend, Elsie, has tolerated being an observer to your torment at the hands of your toxic girlfriend, Sammy. Nothing-fights, constant emotional tear downs, and needless jealousy have been the only fruits of your love for Sammy. Elsie is fed up. It’s hard enough crushing on your best friend when they’re in a good relationship with someone else, let alone watching the apple of your eye get relentlessly picked at by an ungrateful partner. The time had come: Elsie waged a secret campaign to drive Sammy crazy and get her to leave on her own. Weeks of hanging onto your every word, laughing too loudly at every joke, and giving you and Sammy looks…for you, warm, affectionate gazes, eyes sparkling with a tantalizing “what if?”…for Sammy, Elsie wore a smug smile that issued the challenge: “what are you going to do about it, sweetie?” When Sammy finally has had enough and gives you the ultimatum to choose between her and Elsie, she storms out, giving you 24 hours to decide.

Sylvie was your best friend all through grade school and right through to sophomore year in high school. There had always been feelings between you two, but you never got around to addressing it. Over that next summer, she vanished. When she didn’t show up for junior year, you made a turn at her family home to find it vacant. Crushed and confused, you moved on and spent the next three years wondering. College, second year, there she is! Sitting right there in lecture hall a couple of seats away. She smiles at you briefly, but then averts her eyes. Again, you’re left wondering as over the next few weeks she acknowledges your presence but avoids any real interaction. Then the gossip mill started, stories whispered of a boyfriend pushing past the word “no”, and worse, the next boyfriend shaming and mistreating her over it for months. The family abruptly moved away to protect Sylvie.

Following a grueling day at the factory, your mind drifts back across time, a vignette of Daniella in her wedding dress eight years ago brings a bittersweet smile to your tired features. The last couple of years of overtime work would pay off, you assured yourself. After all, how else were you going to afford the costly procedure that would allow you and Daniella to have children? Ever since your low-count diagnosis, which your wife took in stride, the mission has been to work toward this family-planning goal. But with an estimated two years left of this schedule, and Daniella in her thirties and ever-aware of the ticking of her clock, she has become increasingly desperate and anxious. Walking in the door this evening, you find Daniella at the dining table, a file folder open before her, your eyes inexorably drawn to the boldfaced header: -Family Planning Contract- “Daniella…what’s this about?” You ask with a mild tremor to your voice. Averting her gaze downward, she hesitantly launches into her explanation. “My sister Tammy, and her husband, Steve…they’d like to help with our baby woes.” Suspicion and worry war with your ability to keep an even tone. “Help how, exactly?” Daniella takes a steadying breath and meets your eyes. “Steve would help us you know…getting it done. He’s agreed to signing away any paternal rights to you. Please, babe? Keep an open mind?” (Written on request by @amphoenix9098)

Four years ago, things fizzled. It happens. Dreams and goals lined up less between you as time went on until ultimately, you mutually agreed that you loved each other, but it just wasn’t working. The breakup was sad, but amicable. A new chapter of friendship developed, and over the years you remained close. Almost weekly calls to check in, and an occasional coffee meetup were the norm. The two of you spoke about your lives, careful to dodge around the topic of dating as you still cared enough not to hurt each other. Rather than rock the boat and upset a mostly-comfortable arrangement, you never let on that you still held a torch for Charlie. You knew you’d always love her and just vowed secretly to always be her support system. Better to have her friendship than none of her in your life at all. All of these memories came rushing back to the forefront of your mind as you broke several traffic laws on the way to the hospital. Charlie still had you listed as her emergency contact, so when she fainted on the return flight from a business trip, you were called first. Sitting on the edge of her hospital bed now, you smile as her eyes flutter open. Recognition brightening her features, she sits up abruptly, fighting a wave of dizziness and hugs you fiercely. “I knew you’d come for me!”

The boss would wring your neck. He was a part of the largest criminal network in the country: the banking system. Sitting on the board of several major investment firms and being the CEO of the largest bank in the U.S., Sienna’s father Thomas Wilmot, could easily ruin your life. Basically you’re ruined anyway. You’ve been hired by Thomas to be Sienna’s full time bodyguard and assistant. That means shadowing her at social events, sleeping in the next room at night with one eye open in case she tries to slip out, and having to tolerate her unceasing recalcitrance and snarky commentary. This of course, all while you’ve caught the feels for her in a big way. They classic dynamic of the bodyguard/difficult princess was bad enough, but it escalated to a new level of discomfort when you leaned in for a kiss one day and she began to reciprocate, then you both held back. In the weeks since then, she’s teased and tormented you about it as if you were the only one who wanted the kiss. What to do now? Risk the wrath of Thomas and find another opportunity to make a move? Or bury the feelings and live a life that is handsomely compensated, but also devastatingly filled with the presence of Sienna? Infuriatingly, beautifully, perfect Sienna. Even now, she’s giving you that grin, as though she knows your mind.

A mysterious figure, rarely venturing out into the public eye, Jeannie Sinclair is the mastermind and financier of the most successful speed-dating service in the country. Her many themed events draw an impressive attendee list and are often covered on local news outlets. The winery you work at is hosting Jeannie’s “Spring Fling”. As the event progresses, wine pouring, hors d’oeuvres disappearing, laughter echoing throughout, you spot Jeannie leaning against a wall, her eyes scanning the event with satisfaction. Yet still, you detect an undertone of wistfulness playing just underneath the melody of her magnetic presence. A fellow steward at the winery nudges you with an elbow, issuing a dare for you to go and talk to her. Little does your corker know, you’re fearless in these matters and have never believed there were “leagues” people fell into. If one could catch the eye of someone higher up, well so be it. Ready to show your workmate how it’s done, you approach Jeannie with a confident smile. Little did you know, your timing couldn’t be more perfect.

“🎵WOMP wooooomp!” You glance over at your older brother, James, annoyance distorting your features as he grins around the embouchure of his trumpet. “🎵WOMP wooooomp!” You’re about to snatch that trumpet away and wrap it around your brother’s neck when you spot your ex girlfriend, now your brother’s girlfriend, looking at him with thinly-veiled disapproval. She chose him over you, due to his charm, good looks, and high-paying job as a music teacher. He’s been nothing but immature about it since, and you’re about to spark a family feud over it. Something about Janet’s momentary drop in her guard though, has you wondering: might there be some cracks in the perfect-relationship facade your brother has been putting on? Maybe the time to strike was near? Maybe it’s time to get your girl back.

Saturday morning finds you getting off work at noon when the bank closes, and heading to the street fair. When you arrive, it’s not the aroma of funnel cakes, or the tableau of pretty girls in cute summer wear that makes you smile: it’s Kara. There’s just something about her. You’ve met her at other street fair locations over the course of this last summer, feigning interest in her handmade jewelry booth. Warm and friendly, with an affectionate soul sparkling just behind her eyes, she’s got you around her little finger. Your smile fades as you approach her booth and find her already speaking in a hushed, urgent tone with a tall, fit man in a muscle shirt. He looks furious, she is a mix of terror and frustration. Kara: “Steve, this is my livelihood, you can’t do this. You’ll get me kicked out of the fair!” Steve takes a firm hold of Kara’s wrist. Steve: “Well, that’ll teach you that you can’t just break up with me. You’re mine. You hear me?” Kara’s eyes, filled with tears, look about frantically, then land on you. Relief floods her face as a wordless plea for help glistens in her eyes. Steve catches her gaze over his shoulder, turns and scowls as he sizes you up. “What are you looking at. Kick rocks, buddy.” Poor Steve. If only he knew who he was messing with.

A successful young businessperson, you work hard and like to enjoy as well as share the spoils. At O’Handrahan’s Pub, you’ve become a local celeb for your outgoing personality, quick wit, generous tipping of the staff, and tendency to frequently buy rounds for the entire bar. You’ve drawn the attention of a stunning young woman, Agnes, another regular at the pub. For several weeks, she seemed to watch you from the periphery of the pub crowd until one night, she finally approached you. Her coquettish approach charms you right away, the warm fluttering in your core leaving you off balance: you’re used to being the one steering things. The interactions always end with a coy smile and a hasty departure. Enough is enough, you decide. There is a moment where the crowd thins out and you’re able to talk to her without distraction. “So, where is this going, Agnes?” She shivers at your light touch on her shoulder. “How about my room at the hotel across the street?” Her coy smile gone, your heart burns under her smoldering gaze. “Get me out of here?” You don’t need to be asked twice! Eagerness and the feeling of triumph over finally getting to this point have you so in the moment, you fail to notice the three men following the two of you across the street.
