brief typist takeover
And Dani is posting it here so that they can continue.
bluelizardguts8: and Elphie is vaguely emo :D
falling april: :D?
bluelizardguts8: someone in chat drew an extremely graphic picture of her death. And gave it to her, because she asked for it.
falling april: Mark: *Flails at*
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: ..... I'm fine. *is lying :D*
falling april: Mark: LIES! ALL LIES, DAMMIT! *FLAIL*
falling april: ...
falling april: *dies*
bluelizardguts8: ....... AHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF MARK
falling april: Mark: um... sorry. I overreacted a bit.
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: .......
bluelizardguts8: she hid the picture. but if he asks, she'll show him
falling april: Mark: What's /wrong/, Fabala?
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: ..... *innocent blink* what makes you think something's wrong?
falling april: Mark: *gives her this... look. That looks very much like an injured, betrayed puppy. I swear, he doesn't know he does this*
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: ............. *sighs* I hate it when you look at me like that. It makes me want to do anything you ask.
falling april: Mark: *blinks* Huh?
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: -- nothing. *finally goes and gets a paper from her satchel and hands it to him wordlessly*
bluelizardguts8: aaaaand yes. very very accurate and graphic
falling april: Mark: *stares in horror and pain and... oh, hi, he's crying* Oh... oh, /Fae/...
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: *runs a vaguely shakey hand through her hair* I-it's nothing.
falling april: Mark: *puts paper down and gathers her into his arms* It's /not/.
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: *clings to him without actually realizing it's what she's doing*
falling april: Mark: *strokes her hair and clings back*
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: *just stays like this for a long time, closing her eyes tightly and ... just soaking up his presence* *finally* It... it is a good drawing, though.
falling april: Mark: *lets out a choked little laugh* Well... yeah. A little /too/ good.
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: He didn't draw it to upset me.
falling april: Mark: I didn't think so. Who drew it?
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: A young man named Trevor. He's very nice. I've seen him several times now. I like him. Gracie likes him.
falling april: Mark: And... why did he draw this?
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: He's intrigued by death. We talk about it. He asked about how I died, and then... decided to draw it.
falling april: Mark: Ah. *thinks about having a serious talk with this kid about not drawing his wife dying and then SHOWING HER*
bluelizardguts8: Elphie: I really didn't mind the talk. People are interested.
falling april: Mark: Well... still. Talk to me next time you get upset, okay?
Elphie: I always feel like whenever I do it's just... showing vulnerability. I hate that.
