The 90th Song

[tangledintower]

I don't remember October's being so...bad when it came to curses. Is it normal for something to want to kill you every few days?

Also: Serrure, Leah, I owe you two an apology. I'm sorry I locked you out of the apartment yesterday. You were cursed, I know, and it was probably smart at the time....still, I feel bad.

So, I'm gonna make apology pie. Any input on what you want?

[helsmaiden]

I have never had pie... I am sure whatever you make will be satisfactory.

[tangledintower]

Really?

Oooh, this is gonna be fun. You're gonna like this, I think.

[charring]

I vaguely remember being a mermaid last year.

[tangledintower]

Oh yeah, I remember that!

I'd say that was fun, but...well...we ate people.

[doeswhathewants]

You were... justified. Thanks for understanding.

Ooh. Pie!

[tangledintower]

You're my friend, of course I understand.

You know, Leah's never had pie before.

[doeswhathewants]

If it is anything like Leah is with milkshakes, you shall need to have much pie available or she will inhale it all.

[tangledintower]

Oh, I always have pie on hand.

[doeswhathewants]

Everyone ought to, pie is so very welcoming. I shall bring some ice cream to accompany it.

[tangledintower]

Sounds like a party to me!

Should I make milkshakes too? Since Leah seems to like those a lot.

[doeswhathewants]

You know how to create the shaken milk? [Is in awe.]

[tangledintower]

I think so, anyway...I've never actually done it before, but I read how to in a book. It involves this machine called a blender, and we don't have those at home...

Private;

[worldofourown]

But what's the fun without a near-death experience to spice things up?

Private;

[tangledintower]

The majority of these have been too close for comfort.

Private;

[worldofourown]

It's not anyone dies For Real here.

What's the harm?

Private;

[tangledintower]

I'd like to stay fully alive, that's all...

Private;

[worldofourown]

Haven't you heard?

There's no point in taking life too seriously. As it is, no one gets out alive.

Private;

[tangledintower]

I know, I just don't want to worry about that NOW.

Private;

[worldofourown]

My, my.

Someone's testy.

Private;

[tangledintower]

I'm a little irritated at you from that last curse.

[She's more irritated at herself.]

Private;

[worldofourown]

Me?

What did I do?

[ Perfectly innocent. ]

Private;

[tangledintower]

Well, for starters, you lied to my face...several times...

To say nothing of the..er...other thing.

[THAT WAS NOT HOW SHE PICTURED SEX TO GO.]

Private;

[worldofourown]

You complain?

[ About the sex, not the lying. The latter's par for the course. ]

Private;

[tangledintower]

I...I don't know! And that's the problem!

Private;

[worldofourown]

How so?

You preferred something slightly more ...tame?

Private;

[tangledintower]

I don't know! That was my first time, I have no idea what I want!

Private;

[worldofourown]

Well, if it wasn't woefully traumatic and if you're not complaining, I fail to see the problem.

[ He didn't know what he wanted when Diva turned him either. The confusion didn't last long. ]

Private;

[tangledintower]

It was my first time...I wanted it to be special...

...I haven't exactly had the best sex education, either, okay? Until I came to the City, I basically thought sex was lethal and awful.

Private;

[worldofourown]

Lethal and awful?

[ A laugh. ]

That Mother really did a number on you, didn't she?

Private;

[tangledintower]

I hope she never comes here. I don't want to have to deal with...any of that...

Private;

[worldofourown]

I said I'd kill her if she did.

Problem solved.

Private;

[tangledintower]

I know you did...thank you, Karl.

...I guess it wasn't so bad...

Private;

[worldofourown]

Of course it wasn't.

You're still alive and in one piece, aren't you?

[ He was considerate. If not shamelessly insincere. ]

Re: Private;

[tangledintower]

I am, which is surprising, considering who I was with.

Not that I'm ungrateful, mind.

Private;

[worldofourown]

What's that supposed to mean? [ Mock-offended. ] You're overthinking things. It was a fun time. Life will go on afterward. There will be no Divine Wrath. No lightning-bolts swooping from Heaven to incinerate us.

Private;

[tangledintower]

I do overthink things. A lot.

I hate to admit it when you're right, though...but you're right.

Private;

[worldofourown]

Of course I am. [ A smirk. ] You can always call me if you want someone to practice on.

Private;

[tangledintower]

Don't push your luck, mister.

Private;

[worldofourown]

I promise I won't bite.

[ Much. ]

Private;

[tangledintower]

Like I said.

[punchedhitler]

Some people have said it's a bad month for curses.

[tangledintower]

It usually is...I just don't remember the curses being so lethal. Maybe I blocked it out on purpose.

[punchedhitler]

Does your memory usually do that?

[tangledintower]

No, not normally. Last October, though, there was a pretty bad curse...I did some bad things, and I guess I tried to block it out after that.

[punchedhitler]

Are you sorry? That's what matters.

[tangledintower]

Yeah, I am...I know it was a curse, but I still feel bad...
