The 37th Song

...Uh...

I'd like to forget that this weekend ever happened, if that's okay. What was I wearing...?

...I'm going to be hiding for the rest of time now, excuse me.

[PRIVATE TO EUGENE FLYNN//UNHACKABLE]

Eugene...um, Eugene, I was wondering if we could maybe talk?

I...wasn't very nice to you this weekend, and I want to apologize, but I want to do it in person, if that's okay...

Do you think you could come over? I have something I'd like to give you, too.

...good. I don't want to talk about it either.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...yeah. Let's just forget this ever happened.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

So we should talk about something else.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yes! Something else, hello!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Hm...

[ Apollo doesn't have much experience with conversations. ]

...your hair's really long.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, I guess it is...thank you...?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

What, is that weird to talk about?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! I'm just sort of used to it, I guess. So it's odd for me to think of it as being long when it's sort of always been like this.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

So you just always had hair like that? What about when you were born?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess it wasn't this long when I was a baby.

It's just always been long. Not this specific length, just...long.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Oh. Do you ever step on it?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I used to step on it all the time when I was younger. It made Mother furious.

I don't do it anymore, but other people step on it...

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't you cut it?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I...I can't.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

...why?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

[She shows the little strand of brown hair on the back of her head.]

...That happens when it's cut.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

It...changes color?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

It's...not really normal hair.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Then what is it?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I sing, and it glows...and it has the ability to heal.

It's weird, I know, but it's always been like this. I cut it, it loses its ability and it turns brown...which is why I can't cut it.

I'm not really used to telling people about it, but people here seem to be different.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Your hair is magic?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is...

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

...not bad.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well, thank you!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Why can't you tell people?
