8th Fairy Tale § Voice/Action

[tehoniongirl]

[at first, the dreams had been fun, if a little strange, the people nearest and dearest to her taking on completely different roles from the ones she knew so well. Archie as a sailor, Buffy as a warrior, Len as…well… a doctor still, but gruffer, somehow. And, oddly enough, Raine’s fiancé Jack Sparrow parading around as a pirate. It had been all

They have to be.

[Although Amelia sounds less confident of it, as opposed to hopeful that it's true.]

[voice]

[tehoniongirl]

[oh Amelia. She was family...but also a friend, and one of the few people Jilly would actually speak up for right now, instead of just writing. Buffy and Len and Archie would worry about her, but Amelia sounds more like she needs someone doing the worrying.]

You too?

Re: [voice]

[thedicearecast]

Yeah.

[And if Jilly's have been as bad as Amelia's, then the worrying will turn mutual. She pauses for a moment, considering.]

Do you want to talk in person? If you're not busy, at least.

[voice]

[tehoniongirl]

I'm not busy.

I'm not doing anything right now.

[that alone was strange. Jilly always had time for people. She'd set aside anything for a bit of company and a good story. But that was the thing... she always had to set something aside. She was never doing nothing.]

[she doesn't really want to talk about what she remembers, but the idea of company isn't a bad one. Not at all] I'm just at the playground, right now.

[That is indeed strange, and Amelia's not so caught up in her own mess that she doesn't notice. Jilly's having dreams too, and from the sounds of it, they're every bit as horrifying as Amelia's.]

[She closes the journal, taking it with her to the playground to meet her (sort of) cousin. She'll head over to Jillian when she spots the other woman on the swings, offering a half-hearted wave at some point along the way.]

Hey.

[tehoniongirl]

[her half-hearted smile matches Amelia's half-hearted wave.]

Hey.

...Not exactly the best followup to the festival, is it?
