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.

Yeah? [thinks about that] So... you wanted me to know about the lying?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"Among other things, I guess. Too bad these don't run longer."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

Yeah...

... Eve? How come you're older here?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"I'm older than I look, so I'm older on the inside . . . I always wanted to grow up."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

Doesn't everyone grow up?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"Not me. A monster ate that, a long time ago."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

... The monstrous parts I wasn't supposed to go looking for?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"Correct."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

... What is it?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"Do you know what a vampire is?"

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

A really pale guy with black hair and pointy ears who wears a big black cape and goes around trying to drink the blood of young women?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

". . . close enough. Yes. I'm a vampire."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

[checking her ears]

Oh... I didn't know that.

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

They're not pointy and she's not wearing a black cape, but you got the black hair right . . .?

"That's why I was sick -- well, it's not such a huge concern for Jasper."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

... Have you been drinking blood?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"When I need to."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

... Okay, good. Is there anything I can do to help about it?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

". . . the quests are difficult, sometimes. I'd appreciate help with those."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

I'll help! I'll always help.

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"Thank you . . . I appreciate it."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

How come you've never asked for help then?

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"I'm not . . . good at depending on others."

Re: bones of the matter

[ademoelord]

Oh... you can depend on me. I'll do my best.

Re: bones of the matter

[aprettygirl]

"I will keep that in mind . . . and heart."

And with that, you wake up in endgame. ♥
