AN: I didn’t write an actual intervention because I don’t have enough experience with them. This also has no intention to be anything but a ‘check in’ for Daphne to improve her behavior.
Vera, Vallen, and Violet all belong to the talented @jokerislandgirl32
Daphne knew something was up. Her parents were acting differently and everyone seemed to be tiptoeing around her. She noticed Zach’s jet pulling in, and knew something was up. Out walked Zach and Violet, looking solemn. Gourmand was in video call, something was going on and Daphne could guess what it was. She knew for sure when she was called into the ‘fancy’ living room, something they only ever used if there was something serious happening. As she sat down, her family started explaining how to use the internet in a healthy way. Daphne didn’t really care at first but she actually learned a lot, and felt much better about everything after the talk was over. Her family loved her, really, and their opinions and her own were more important than the trolls online. Daphne decided that she would take a small break from social media, and start doing other hobbies, once she found them. Her grades were also awful, so maybe this tutoring thing isn’t such a bad idea. It could be nice to spend more time with the Varmitechs, she would never admit it, but it gets lonely sometimes in the huge pink mansion, her parents aren’t around as much as she would like, and she doesn’t have any siblings that she sees often or are close in age. Vera was also super nice, and is a great role model for Daphne.
Vallen would be lying if he said he wasn’t worried about Daphne. She had always been someone he really cared about, and to hear she was struggling made him so upset. He couldn’t believe that his parents wouldn’t let him go see her, they were friends!! He wasn’t dramatic, he didn’t know what they were talking about, plus he never said anything that wasn’t true, it was their problem if they didn’t want to listen to him. He was right pretty often. But when he was around Daphne, he got all tongue-tied and weird. It was a shocking feeling, considering he had never been like that with any of his boyfriends or girlfriends. Vera claimed that he had a crush on her, but Vera was totally wrong. Right?? Yeah she was pretty and outgoing, but she was in a relationship and so was he. He wasn’t the type of guy to hurt someone like that, they would have to both be single for it to happen. It would never happen. He was content with just being her friend. It seemed like he would be seeing more of her in the near future, Vera is going to start tutoring her in math and science. He couldn’t wait to see her roaming his house. Maybe he needed some tutoring too, it didn’t matter that his grades were excellent. Anything to spend time with her… But in a totally friendly way of course.
