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.]

[BEAT]

Surely you could have another.

[gavehimhead]

You're the only one here, aren't you?

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen anyone else but you, no.

[gavehimhead]

There you have it.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

...well, that won't do. I'm going to have to remember to correct that later.

[gavehimhead]

It's not something that you can correct.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can. I'm Elliot Nightray and I can do anything I set my mind to.

[gavehimhead]

I mean I don't want you correcting it. It's fine just the way it is.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

But it's ... it's sad. You're a likable person, so of course I think people should like you and know you.

[gavehimhead]

It isn't a good idea, though.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

They're not all going to leave.

[gavehimhead]

That's not why it isn't a good idea. It would be better if they left, actually.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

Why? And why am I different?

[gavehimhead]

People around me tend to die. And, well...[shrug] It seemed that wouldn't be the case with you. And now that I've found out otherwise, you're already dead.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

[...punches him on the arm]

I'm not dead now.

[gavehimhead]

Also, you make funny faces.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I do not!

[gavehimhead]

You do. That's half the fun of it.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I told you, I do not! Take that back!

[gavehimhead]

You asked for reasons why and I gave them to you. I'm not taking it back.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

i don't see why not, when it's entirely wrong!

[gavehimhead]

You're only proving me right, you know. And I did remind you to keep it down in the library. Try to control your temper.

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I am controlling my temper!

[gavehimhead]

That's not what it sounds like.
