Detention, Depths of the Castle, Tuesday

Jul 24, 2012 00:48

Another bright, shining, and pink day had begun for the prisoners guests being held in detention, and while the morning started off the same as the day before, there was a strange sort of feeling in the air once people began waking up. A kind of... musical feeling, in fact ( Read more... )

Nothing here is real, nothing here is right ... going through the motions, walking through the part...

Jack frowned hard at himself. "Lukewarm powdered scrambled eggs," he announced, "are normally not anything to sing about, are they?"

"Nope," Dinah agreed. "I was always brave
And kind of righteous
Now I find I’m wavering... Oh, hell." She took a huge bite of breakfast and tried not to gag.

Will we stay this way forever? Jack asked rhetorically. Sleepwalk through our lives' endeavor?

"I really am," he added around a mouthful of possibly-once-eggs, "starting to think we'll die here. And we won't even be lucky enough to die young."

Re: Enjoy Your Breakfast [07/24] no_songbird July 24 2012, 16:29:55 UTC

Whatever!

I don't want to be
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive... "We won't. We can't. At some point, she's going to over-reach herself," Dinah said. "Don't tell me you think Umbridge is good enough not to screw up before we're senior citizens."

Jack gave her a look. "No, but she hasn't slipped in five years. People stronger than either of us have died or been broken. I can't be an optimist."

Re: Enjoy Your Breakfast [07/24] no_songbird July 24 2012, 16:44:01 UTC

Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?

Dinah sighed, and then returned the look. "So what are you going to be, then?"

Re: Enjoy Your Breakfast [07/24] cursednotbroken July 24 2012, 17:02:12 UTC

The less we say about it the better, Jack sang at her. Make it up as we go along. Feet on the ground, head in the sky, it's okay I know nothing's wrong.

He shrugged. "Denial might be nice, if I could manage it."

Re: Enjoy Your Breakfast [07/24] no_songbird July 24 2012, 17:07:45 UTC

Dinah looked around at their fellow prisoners. Inmates. Whatever.

"Are you sure about that?"

Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone ...

Re: Enjoy Your Breakfast [07/24] cursednotbroken July 24 2012, 18:19:22 UTC

"Not even close," Jack admitted. "I just feel like I'm losing my mind. Maybe if I went ahead and did it this would all be easier."

He drew another deep breath. "... and I didn't mean that, either."

Re: Enjoy Your Breakfast [07/24] no_songbird July 24 2012, 18:24:56 UTC

It wasn't like she could get into more trouble for putting an arm around Jack's shoulders.

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts... She snickered, then sighed. "I know you didn't. Hey, if venting gloom and doom keeps you keeping on, it's all good."
