[The video feed opens with Asellus, leaning halfway out of her window. This isn't wholly new; she tends toward video over most other options. It feels more real than text or voice to her.

What is new is the fact that she's laughing, and she turns back to the Forge, that laugh still in her eyes, and drags it to see what she's seeing

You're sure getting thinky over that nursery rhyme.

[...come to think of it...]

Kind of a creepy rhyme. Imaginary guys, seen by blind people? Sounds kind of demonic, to me.

That's not why you responded to this.

[charmprince]

The rhyme isn't all that important. The fact that I remember it, though...

Anyway, I don't see anything demonic about it. Though I guess it depends on what you consider demonic in nature.

Why they are often called legends.

[pointedly not commenting on her thoughts about memory.]

[charmprince]

I guess that's right. I don't know if I'd like to be a legend, though.

[thenobledie]

And why is that?

[charmprince]

I don't know-- legends are more than people, to the people that believe in them. I don't know if I'd like my life to be embellished the way theirs are.

Hm, even if they don't know it, what you're doing is Heroic, isn't it?

[video]

[charmprince]

I guess it is, at that. Maybe I should look into doing more heroic acts.

That's a little heartening-- though I think at some point everyone longs for recognition, even if it's only a little bit.

[He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. Wasn't he doing just that?]

It's one of those things, it would take something pretty dire to get something big like that.

[charmprince]

Maybe it's not such a bad thing, then, that this place tends to do dire well enough on its own.

I mean, not that I'm ill-wishing or anything...

[i_love_squats]

I don't think there's anything better. Being a hero... it's as good as it gets.

Voice( I do this on purpose, clearly. >3 )

[charmprince]

I don't know if that's true, either... but it's probably up there.

Voice(Duuuuuuh! ♥ )

[i_love_squats]

What would be better, you think? What's your dream?

Voice ( ♥ !!!)

[charmprince]

Dream...?

[Does she even have one? She has to think about it.]

...I guess I don't want to be forgotten. Or maybe it's that I want to do things that won't be forgotten....?

What? Blind men can't see; that's the whole point of being blind. Shit, the crap kids say is dumb.

[audio]

[charmprince]

You don't honestly think eyes are the only way you can see something, do you? Besides, it's just a rhyme. It's not supposed to make sense.

[audio]

[chairyontop]

It's not like you can see with your nose. Unless you're from fucking Beetlejuice.

[charmprince]

From... what?

The star?
