EVE'S HEART

[aprettygirl]

A dark veil slips over you, obscuring your vision; it’s cool and clinging, and blocks out all outside sensation. You drift downward . . . as you do, you grow more and more aware of the pulse of your own heartbeat, until it’s a ringing, unpleasant throb in your ears.

. . . after some time, it’s interrupted by a soft splash, and you feel solid rock underfoot.

[hm... how to...]

It's like having a picture of food. You can see it, but that's all, you can't touch it or smell it or taste it.

[aprettygirl]

"Lies often have an element of emptiness."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

I guess so. I'm not very good at lying.

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"Would you like to get better?"

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

[considering this quietly]

I think eventually I'll have to get better at it. I don't really like it though.

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"That's probably a good way to look at it."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

... Does Eve lie a lot?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"Quite a lot."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

How come?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"Necessity and strategy."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

Even in Aather?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"What lie would you be worried about, in Aather?"

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

I don't know. I never thought about her lying before.

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"Ah..."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

[holds up the flowers though]

There's one in here though... of her in the ring... Do you know what it's about?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"...I can't...you're making me answer questions I'm not built to. Not here."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

Where can you answer it then?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"In the truth under my lies."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

... so... is this place the lies?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"Deception, dazzlement, smoke and mirrors."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

[looking around at the beach... and then at the ocean...]

So... it's not real?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"Every good lie has a little truth in it. So, it's a little bit real, but mostly not."

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

So... it's probably not so big... right?

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[aprettygirl]

"What standard are you using to judge?"

Re: flesh (by daylight)

[ademoelord]

Huh?
