[voice] an idle curiosity in the middle of the night

[maddest]

If you could make the choice to lose one memory, what would it be?

If you don't feel like sharing the details of that moment, answer this instead- if you were really given the choice, not hypothetically in the future, but today, with all the realities and consequences you face, would you let the moment go? And would it change you?

How much of our darkest moments make us what we are?

The darkest and the brightest ones equally.

Then what about the mundanities we suffer?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

What kind of mundanities are you referring to?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Brushing teeth. Making breakfast. Could you stand to lose a memory or two like that?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

We would have to learn them all over again, wouldn't we?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Not the whole task- the memory of doing it, once or twice.

What would be the point in forgetting such a small thing?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

More specifically, what would be the point of fighting to remember it?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I actually remember all those little memories you speak of. They're useless and as such, they tend to erase themselves naturally over time.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Then why put up a fuss?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about putting up a fuss?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I'm projecting. It's getting late, Miss Raven.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

You remember my name?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I wish I could say yes, but I've been familiarizing myself with the political situation here.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I see. [She smirks slightly. She sounds almost reassured.] I would probably have been one of those memories you'd willingly have let go of anyway.

Good night, Mr Break.

I'd love to reassure you out of your little fit of self-deprecation, but I truthfully have no idea.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I appreciate your concern. But I was being truthful too. So it's all good. [self-deprecation is something she knows well, but Break is definitely not someone who has ever made her feel that way.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Goodnight.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Goodnight.
