I load the gun, I wax and wane, Subject all of my pain, Onto you baby, Coz I'm pretty like drugs

Everyone are becoming such drags lately.

What's a.. drag?

[backoff_bitches]

Oh. Darling. I'm sure you're not

[lithsfair]

I'm not? But if I'm not like everybody else, doesn't that mean it's a.. bad thing..?

[backoff_bitches]

Of course not. You are unique *adjusts her collar slightly* Own it honey

[lithsfair]

*still doesn't quite get it*

..Own.. what?

But-- my parents told me people are.. unkind to you if you're different.

[backoff_bitches]

Depends. People ignore you if you are the same. They can be rather horrible about it actually.

[lithsfair]

...So it's better to be noticed for something awful than to not be noticed at all..?

[backoff_bitches]

Yes. Always

[lithsfair]

*looks to the side, thinking on this*

...I suppose that makes sense... It's awful, being ignored.

*looks up at her with a faint smile then*

You don't have that problem, though, I'm sure.

[backoff_bitches]

Not any more No. I don't *fake!smile*

[lithsfair]

...Katherine. Can I ask you a question..?

[backoff_bitches]

Sure doll. *starts to light a cigarette*

[lithsfair]

Why are your smiles so sad..?

[backoff_bitches]

*freezes* What do you mean?

[lithsfair]

In the books I've read. The pictures, whenever someone's smiling, they look so happy. But when you smile, you look.. *struggles to find the right word* ...broken.

Do you need to be fixed too..?

[backoff_bitches]

I-I- *brushes her away slightly* I'm fine.
