[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?

He likes it. [Yes, he sounds just like the schoolyard bully who keeps asking you why you're hitting yourself.]

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

He likes everything.

[thelightbringer]

Actually, he--

[A slight pause]

If he did, you should be praising me for doing a good deed, shouldn't you?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I want to hear the end of that sentence.

[thelightbringer]

Let's just say I'm becoming acquainted with things you don't like.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I could stand for some elaboration.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

So could I. I usually disguise my temper tantrums, don't I?

[thelightbringer]

Not even a little.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Oh, get a room, you two.

[thelightbringer]

A moment ago you were encouraging this.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

It stopped being fun when everyone started doubletalking like I'm five and have virgin ears.

[thelightbringer]

...What do you mean? The last I checked, you were the one bringing the innuendo to the table.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

If I were flirting, it'd be much more obvious. There would be illustrative gestures with conveniently shaped candies.

[thelightbringer]

I'd believe that if you were capable of sharing candy.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Actually, I meant the doubletalking about Break and the candy van he keeps trying to invite me into, but, hey, if you really wanna focus on the sexual tension....

[thelightbringer]

Ah, well, that is something you don't need to hear about until you're older.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

If you're curious about him, and the double talk bothers you, come see for yourself.

[thelightbringer]

[Sing-song] No means no, Xerxes. I don't think he wants to know what you have under your coat.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I really don't.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

You're both making me sound like some sort of metaphysical flasher.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

You're not?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

...maybe a little.

[thelightbringer]

...which is disappointing, actually.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

You're the one telling me I don't wanna know, so what? Is that now code for "but I really wish you did, so I could see what happens?"

[thelightbringer]

Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean I don't have my share of morbid curiosity.
