"Have you ever suddenly realized that the life you thought you wanted was so different from the one you actually want that they can't even be on the same scale? Or anything like that?"

"Oh yes. Why do you ask?"

[warriormayhew]

"It's just... really weird when it happens, isn't it?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Yes, but also very beautiful. It's something, I think, to be savored. Opportunities like this in life usually only happen once, and not even that often for most people..."

[warriormayhew]

He bites his lip for a second. "Yeah, finding out that there are other ways to live..."

((Reading his name in his journal, "Richard. Richard Mayhew. Dick." makes me think of people who put their profession into their introduction. "John. John Walkins. Doctor." "Richard. Richard Mayhew. Dick."

I know it's how he introduced himself to Door in the book, the thought just amused me.))

[warriormayhew]

((Snork! That is a way to think of it. *sniggers quietly in the corner*))

[onemorebounty]

((My sense of humor is strange.))

[warriormayhew]

((It's great. Strange senses of humor are what make the world intereting. *Grins*))

[cat_and_mice]

"A long time ago, yes."

[vicioussweetie]

When she hears the marquis, Ali turns and waves with a smile. She seems to be almost glowing...

[cat_and_mice]

He raises a hand to her in return, tilting his head to one side. "Well. You seem pleased."

[vicioussweetie]

"Oh yes. I like him. And he's doing so well." At what, and on what scale, well...who knows?

[cat_and_mice]

((Also, I'm sorry, but... off to bed. Will you be on around... 9:30 - 1:30, in the morning, EST? Cause I know that may not be ideal hours. ♥ I'll be on after that, too, but that's my Unbroken Block of Computer Time.))

[warriormayhew]

((I'll definitely be on SOMETIME during that block. I'm on vacation now, which actually means I have less computer time than normal. Have to spend time with the mother and aunt. *Grins*))

[nybard]

"Oh, yes." He smiles.

[warriormayhew]

"Oh, good. I'm not the only one."

[nybard]

"About fifteen years ago, all I wanted was a corner to play my flute on, plenty of booze and weed, and perhaps a girl." He rolls his eyes.

[warriormayhew]

He nods. "I wanted to be normal."
