[a voice post, it sounds like some of it was cut off]

--ttles it. I'm dead. I mean, I have to be dead. The last thing I remember was that column and...Come on Meg, get it together...

[there's a pause and an intake of breath, an annoyed sigh]

...yeah, pretty much nothing after that. Great. I died like I lived, like a damsel in distress. At least I

Comments

voice; i apologize for slow, lj is fail

[adamantined]

Check for a pulse. If you've got one of those, this is less the Underworld than you're thinking.

voice; holy crap I know, right?

[big_googoo_eyes]

I checked, haven't got one. This is turning out to be one swell day.

voice; /punches it in the head

[adamantined]

Oh.

[awkward pause]

Well I can still tell you that you aren't in the Underworld. Did anyone send you a guide?

voice; LOOKS LIKE THAT WORKED~

[big_googoo_eyes]

Well, I know that much now, thanks for the update. And yeah, some girl named Emma gave me a guide...

[there's a clinking noise]

And money. I think. What a welcome chariot this place has.

voice; I AM MAGICAL

[adamantined]

A welcome chariot?

voice; YOU MADE LJ YOUR BITCH

[big_googoo_eyes]

Grecian expression.

[that she made up. shhhhhh.]

What, would you prefer welcome wagon?

voice; /dominates it

[adamantined]

Only if the wagon is a Volkswagen.

[which... she is NOT going to get but which Claire thinks is hilarious on her part.]

You don't sound like your typical damsel in distress to me.

voice; /popcorn.gif

[big_googoo_eyes]

...Sure.

[yup that joke goes RIGHT OVER HER HEAD.]

Trust me. Whenever there's distress, I'm the damsel in that distress. It's not an easy living, but I make do.

Or, I made do. Gotta learn what's in the past and what's in the now, and right now, well...I'm not the woman I used to be. That's for sure. The lack of pulse says it all.

voice; hahahaslkdfj

[adamantined]

Around here, lack of a pulse doesn't really make you that much different from the people who still have pulses.

voice;

[big_googoo_eyes]

...that sounds like a pretty big difference to me.

voice;

[adamantined]

There's a difference. There's always gonna be a different. But I'm just saying that no one will look at you weird because of it.

voice;

[big_googoo_eyes]

Considering only I can feel my current lack of life, I doubt anyone would know right off the bat, anyway.

I'm not exactly concerned about it anyway. If people do look at me weird, so be it. Most people are just rubberneckers anyway.

Considering that you're using the audio feed right now and it's not a private thread, it's more likely than you think that someone might overhear you.

You're handling all this better than a lot of people, though.

voice;

[big_googoo_eyes]

...great.

Well, I'm not going to curl up in a ball and cry about the whole thing. I'm not that kind of girl.

[no, she's the kind of girl that keeps everything inside.]

voice;

[adamantined]

You're among friends. The majority of people around here are like that.

voice;

[big_googoo_eyes]

Friends. Right. Honey, you obviously don't know the kind of girl you're talking to.
