They have these quiet rooms, where all sound is deadened by the shape and texture of the walls. Apparently the only thing you can hear in there is your own heartbeat. Which apparently drives people crazy after awhile such that they feel compelled to leave.
Last night the power went out suddenly. Besides the buzz of my computer’s back-up supply and the beeping of a few things, it was so quiet. No window fan, no motors… I was wondering how I was going to sleep without my fan & white noise machine when it came back on.
I’ve read of a room that absorbs all sound, so much so that one can hear one’s own heartbeat.

Marigold, why don’t you hang out with Trump? You have at least ONE thing in common!!

I do notice that when I mute my TV I do pick up on details I never saw before. and same with sound if I cut the visuals.

It’s good to have a high self esteem, if you love yourself, others notice and love you in return!

I’m afraid Phoebe might lose control of this new power.

I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty, and witty and gay
And I pity
Any unicorn who isn’t me today

That really does boil down who Marigold is without the unicorn magic stuff: the friend who talks about how pretty she is.

Oh, I thought she was actually turning off sound in the world, but I guess she’s just turning off her own ears. Much more efficient.

Being particularly sensitive to sound, there have been many times I wished I could mute the world.

Twice I’ve tried to tap the unmute button on the comic, forgetting it’s not actually a video. Oh dear!
