Leo's thread

[You find yourself in a very spacious library. The ceiling is very high, you can't even see to the other side of the place, and it looks like it's supposed to be very grand—besides all of the mess. None of the books are organized, half of them are on the floor or strewn about on study desks, and the other half are haphazardly tossed on the shelves. There are splotches of different colors over the ugly yellow wallpaper, like someone tried to repaint a million different times and gave up halfway through.

The entire left half of the library is covered in a window, showing that the sun has just set. There's a murky forest outside that doesn't look too inviting. Only half of the candles inside of the library have been lit, but there are plenty of obnoxious floating golden lights drifting around that you can still see alright.

There are other people there, but they're a little off. Some of them don't have faces or look like they're fading away into nothing. But they don't seem to be paying you any mind, so you're free to explore.]

Do you think they can?

[gavehimhead]

No. But isn't it worth a try?

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I do. I don't... I don't want things to change. Everything changed so fast, I just want something to remain the same, a foundation we can build on.

[gavehimhead]

[closes his book and puts it in his lap]

I thought we still had that foundation.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I've changed. I've changed and I don't like it.

[gavehimhead]

Some of it was for the better.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I still don't have to like it.

[gavehimhead]

I don't think of it as changing. Maybe...it's that you've grown?

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

Maybe. It would be unrealistic to not grow after that.

[gavehimhead]

And growing isn't really changing. Growing is adding to the things you already have.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

So growing is fine. But we're not changing. Got it?

[gavehimhead]

That sounds fine. I think I can manage it.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

Even if you have a terrible temper and are really annoying at times, that's what I like about you.

[gavehimhead]

Even if you are too stubborn and even more annoying than me.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I most certainly am not!

[gavehimhead]

You are.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

How could anyone be more annoying than you?

[gavehimhead]

I'm baffled by it myself. But here you are.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

If anything you're more annoying because you talk like that about how annoying I am.

[gavehimhead]

That's not annoying, that's just pointing out the obvious.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

You know it's annoying, that's why you do it!

[gavehimhead]

Just because you think it's annoying doesn't necessarily make it annoying.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

By definition, it is!

[gavehimhead]

Yes, yes, that's very nice.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

See! You're doing it again!
