The 35th Song

...I'm lonely.

I mean, I guess I've been lonely for a long time. Growing up, it was me and Mother for years, and nobody else. Then Pascal showed up, but for the longest time, I really didn't know...well, anybody.

I can't really get over that, you know? I still don't feel like I really know anybody, or anything...Mother said that I was gullible and naive, and she's probably right. She knows more people than I do. And maybe those are just things that come with being lonely.

...I don't really know why I'm talking about this. I shouldn't feel like this, not know, not when I'm out of the tower and actually living and meeting people and making friends, but...

You're not... naive, or whatever.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I am, though! I mean, I really don't know much about the world or people or anything...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, isn't that everybody? No matter what anyone does, there's gonna be more stuff out there they don't know than stuff they do. And like, I'm sure there are things you know that most people don't.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, there is one thing...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Thought there must be.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yeah! There is one thing!

[boom, switching over to the cheer up mode of the curse.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Bet there's stuff you could teach me.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, my one really special unique thing isn't really teachable...

But I could teach you some painting and art stuff! Oooh, and baking. I'm good at that too.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Sure, yeah! That'd be cool.

What's this special unteachable thing of yours, anyway?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Do you need a hug? I can be there in, like, 30 seconds. If it's an emergency.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...a hug would be sort of nice...

[Oh hey! There's an angel behind you right now. She decided to dispense with the formalities and just show up. She opens her arms.]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Wha--how did you do that?

[Dulcie loves sneaking up on people. She grins evilly, and her wings shake themselves out from her back and spread to their full 7-foot span.]

Magic.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh!

[She knows magic. Sort of. Kind of. Of the hair variety.]

Those are cool...can you really fly with them?

[You show off to her, maybe she'll show off to you.]

Re: Action

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Wanna go for a trip?

Action

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I'd like that.

For the record, I don't think your mother was right about you at all.


I mean, you did take me hostage with your hair and a frying pan.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Hehe, that's true.

You know, I tried to tell her when I had you in the closet, since I thought that it would be a perfect way to show her that I could defend myself...she didn't listen, though.

...I'm sort of glad she didn't, actually...

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Me too. Think of the adventure we'd've missed out on.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

You're right! I've learned so much that I never would have...things I never would have learned if she'd listened to me...

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Your mother sounds like my evil step monster.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Mother isn't evil...she's just really over protective...

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, see my step-mother never cared.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

That's awful, I'm sorry...
