#45 - The Past Returns

[inthecenterfold]

So many people's faces... If you wanted to make portraits, now's the time, Kurayami. Just head out to the park and take a glance at all the food

That?

[...Oh right. That.] Possibly.

[inthecenterfold]

Possibly? You're not interested in checking out Crystala anymore?

[notpissedoff]

I didn't say that.

I'd like a better idea of what I may be getting myself into, first.

[inthecenterfold]

Guess you got til Thursday to decide. I can find something else to do.

[feathered_earth]

There's really no reason for something like this. It's just horrible.

[inthecenterfold]

Is there ever a reason for some of the crap thrown our way?

[grab_my_bells]

Twisting the knife, I'd say.

[inthecenterfold]

After all this time I shouldn't be surprised there was a catch along with free food.

[grab_my_bells]

We'll probably break out in hives later or something.

[inthecenterfold]

Man I hope not. I don't even know what that is but it doesn't sound good.

[paintitgray]

If I what? [Hasn't been to the barbecue yet.]

[inthecenterfold]

They aren't everywhere, but the food has faces on them.

/aaand her mind goes to the worst place possible

[paintitgray]

Faces? Recognizable ones, or just decorative ones?

[Pause.]

Even the Tree wouldn't turn people into food. Would it?

ffff

[inthecenterfold]

I've recognized a couple as people I knew used to be here. Some have been gone a long time, others only recently. So... I'm really gonna hope not. Besides, I dunno how you get someone's whole face on a hamburger bun if ... that actually happened.

[crimson_seeker]

You know their faces?

[inthecenterfold]

Not all of them, but yeah some.

[crimson_seeker]

Then they're not simply people, but people who were once here? Or still are?

[inthecenterfold]

I haven't seen any yet who are still around - wait, unless you count the cake. So I guess there could be more mixed in who are still around, but most of the ones I saw were here and aren't anymore.
