📍 ALTSTADT EST. ALASTAIR S. ESCHER. ────────────── A high-resolution shadow. Polished, polite, and perfectly unattainable.

Dropping this here before I sleep. Pick one and I might just grant your wishes once I’m up. Just know that if you pick "marry," you're coming to therapy with me, we need a professional opinion on whether I’m legally fit for a wedding or if I should just stick to goldfish.

@saintdolle I’m honestly so desperate I’ll try anything, but that actually sounds really peaceful. I’m gonna tuck myself in and try to disappear into that garden you mentioned. Hopefully, I’m asleep before the birds start mocking me. Thanks for being so sweet and helping me out.

@TheCuratedGen honestly, my best trick is to put on some soft lo-fi or rainy atmosphere sounds, tuck the covers right up to my chin, and try to imagine a very specific peaceful scene like a quiet library or a garden at midnight?

Drop some sleep tips... literally, the sun is almost up and I’m still out here struggling.

@sugarpIumps If I actually fall asleep because of this, I owe you one.

@TheCuratedGen Warm milk might help?

@saintdolle It sounds like we’d get along famously. I’ll make sure to pick a route with the best views and the fewest crowds.

@TheCuratedGen I see that you find your kind of magic in quiet streets and lone travels. though I usually prefer the safety of my own world, I’d be happy to walk along with you for a while if you ever need a companion who knows how to appreciate the silence just as much as the conversation! c:

Alastair speaking. To the new faces here: I am an introverted soul with a penchant for lone travels and quiet streets. Yet, should you ever require a steady companion for the road, I am at your service.

@AmongEndiveis It would be my pleasure. Do you prefer the shadows of old architecture or the stillness of a park at dawn?

@TheCuratedGen You should introduce me to your favorite place to visit on.

4 a.m thoughts. Wide awake and sleep-deprived.

@jenesaints Balanced. I respect that. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Jen. I’ve picked up a few tales along the way that don't make it into the guidebooks, I'd be happy to pass them along.

@TheCuratedGen I’m on the edge between introvertion and extrovertion, but I do love stories from the road. Hi Jen here.

@noirtheast Consider it an open invitation. The road is always more interesting when you have a reliable second. Nice to meet you as well.

@TheCuratedGen That’s quite the introduction. I’ll keep the road companion offer in mind. Nice to meet you, Alastair.

@litarequiem Points for honesty. I’ve never been much for marketing, I’d rather just show you the view and let it speak for itself. I'll see if I can meet your standards as we go.

@TheCuratedGen Is this your attempt at a tour guide sales pitch, Alastair? It’s a start, but it definitely needs some polishing. Consider that your first task. It’s Mary, by the way!

@ribbonsilks Spot on. If you’re looking for a start, try Lake Brienz at dawn or the Lauterbrunnen valley when the fog rolls in. They are the kind of places that require you to leave the noise behind, let me know if they meet your standards.

@TheCuratedGen in conclusion, you are the introvert who also love taking a walk with beautiful view and calming vibes, right? then i'm in! can you suggest me some places like that? :]

@Amorehearst A pleasure. My door is usually closed to most, but I’m happy to make an exception for a new face.

@TheCuratedGen Hello, new-mate! Let’s keep in touch and talk often.

@Iushness A pleasure to meet a kindred spirit, welcome.

@TheCuratedGen Hello, fellow introverted soul.

@snoughnuts I'm a total repeater, once I find a favorite, I don't see a reason to change the menu. You're going to have to do better than science to convince me otherwise.

@TheCuratedGen ... y-you need to eat more various f-food .ᐟ otherwise, you’ll get sick 🤓 at least th-that’s what the science says ...

what should i m-make for dinner ₍ 👨🏻‍🍳 ₎

@snoughnuts If you’re offering the sun, I’d much rather soak it up at your farm.

@TheCuratedGen i have a s-sun in m-my room tho ...

Currently navigating the post-collapse phase. Just a man who needs the sun to feel human again.

@Florralise Diva is a strong word. I prefer overdressed and depressed.

@TheCuratedGen Commuter diva.

@cuutedolly If you can actually read me that well, you'll definitely deserve a big prize.

@TheCuratedGen i bet the rest are 😒🤨🙄 will i get a reward if i get perfect skills?

The rain is trying to wash away my sins. Nature’s way of telling me to stay humble, and it failed, but I appreciate the effort.

Refining the vision. Immense gratitude to @snoughnuts for the stunning new layout. The header is truly a work of art.

@saintdolle I'll take the title. Why waste energy on a smile when the silence says so much more? You’re welcome for the inspiration.

@TheCuratedGen groundbreaking! I’ll make sure to put ‘expert at facial conservation’ on your resume.

@Enthrealled Hello, Nicole. I usually turn off all the main lights, I prefer just the glow from my monitor or a dim sleep light to settle in. Pure darkness is a bit too quiet, but big lights are out of the question. What’s your preference?

Hello, new friends. 🖤 hoping we get along well. I'm Nicolette, Nicole or Nini works. Quick ice breaker: do you sleep with the lights on or off?
