[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

Yeah, see... my dad likes to style himself as the duke and patron of thieves, but he's not the most subtle of creatures. Who kidnaps their daughter in her dreams, steals their soul so she can resurrect her and sends a whole team of demons named after the seven deadly sins just to fuck with her?

No, seriously... who the fuck does that? I still can't figure out what the hell he's really going to accomplish with this crap, but my life's a collection of bad cliches.

[zodiacal]

You have the sins, too. Great. That's just-- great. Why don't we throw some Dante's Inferno motifs in there and make it a party? [TROPESSSSSS!!!!] Afterwards, we can just move to a faraway island somewhere and pretend this shit never happened.

[samantha_grey]

...I did mention the bleeding trees, didn't I? You know, for the suicides. Some of them, apparently, thought the Inferno was funny as hell, so they took some of the motifs.

No, seriously, a lot of those tropes are pretty much there for a reason in my world. Hell is exactly that ironic, predictable and unpleasant... only Satan's not wedged in ice and they carve their own little kingdoms down there.

[zodiacal]

More motifs. Bleeding trees you can find anywhere, you know? [no you... can't.]

Sounds gross. Remind me to never book a reservation there if I ever get sent back. I'd rather stick with the ghosts than be with a bunch of assholes who think they're ironic.

[samantha_grey]

Well... your hell's not my hell. As much as we annoy each other, I don't entirely like the idea that when this is all done we might not see each other again.

...

even if some days I really want to throttle you.

[expy]

Please, it was just a joke. I'm not sure I even have a hell. [since, u kno, the succubi are partying it up in empyreal...] But, aw. I'm flattered you care so much.

[needsmoregreen]

[Yup, Bianca can't help bit giggle a bit. She can tell.]

...It sounds like you really do like him a lot don't you? Even though you don't like him...in a way. It must be really nice to be in love like that.

[samantha_grey]

Don't get too flattered. I'm told I've got suspect taste in friends, Eve. Heh.

[samantha_grey]

It's complicated, but yeah I've kind of gotten pretty attached to him. It's... it's very different for me. I'm not used to something lasting this long.

[needsmoregreen]

What's with that thinking?

It's going to keep lasting! I know that there will be a lot of fighting and you two might get sad but...I'm sure that you two will be together into forever!

[and ever...ever...]

[samantha_grey]

Well, I sure as hell don't plan on unlatching my claws anytime soon. I'll say that. But let's take this a day at a time, ok?

[zodiacal]

Shut it. I'm the exception to the rule.

[samantha_grey]

Hah, are you now? How many rules are you the exception to, I wonder?

[needsmoregreen]

Mhmm, I will! Just take your time with it okay?

...Haha, I know I'm still thinking about what to do with someone so...it's not always a good thing to be so hasty about things! I usually pretty late and I'm oblivious but it's better than rushing into things right?

[samantha_grey]

It's been a lot better taking time. Confusing, but much better.

[needsmoregreen]

I don't really know what much else I can do between you and Eridan but if he ever makes you cry or makes you upset, let me know!

I think my pokemon will get a say in something about that! [...] Actually, wait, I think that's also bad too...

[samantha_grey]

heh, don't worry about it. Anyway, we've got a plan. You figure out his birthday and we plot.

[expy]

As many rules as I want, duh.

[samantha_grey]

You are such a cheater, you know that? Heh. Well, I guess that's all that you really needed to know on the rest. If you want the gory details sometime, you can ask, but ... [shrug] eh. You get the idea.

[needsmoregreen]

Haha, all right then! When I figure it out, I'll be sure to let you know!

[zodiacal]

[And, a shrug back.]

General idea's good. Know too much and it gets kind of boring, y'know?

[samantha_grey]

Boring... heh, you really are an odd duck sometimes, you know that Eve?

[expy]

I'm going to pretend you didn't just call me an [air quotes] "old duck".

[samantha_grey]

Awww, and here I was about to offer you some Quackers.

[She was fully aware of how bad that was. If the grin was any indication, she didn't care.]

[zodiacal]

[SHE GROANS IN UTTER AGONY. Except it's not agony, it's just. No.]

That's it. I'm going back outside to brave the cold again.
