0203: Open Hearted

[livingmyths]

[Have a giggling Rain as she carefully holds a heart with beams of light radiating outward from it - and what looks not unlike a halo around it.]





See what I found this morning? Isn't it pretty?

Comments

[deadmanbusiness]

It looks very happy and sweet.

[livingmyths]

It does, doesn't it?

[deadmanbusiness]

Yes. I wouldn't mind a heart like that. You're very lucky.

[livingmyths]

Well... I suppose...

If you want it...

[deadmanbusiness]

No. No. I don't want to take your heart. It's yours. But I would be happy if mine was like yours.

[He has no idea what his heart would look like. He's kind of afraid to find out.]

[livingmyths]

Oh.

Well, I'm sure yours is very nice, too.

But maybe not so bright - because I think that's more girly.

[deadmanbusiness]

It probably wouldn't considering my general aversion to the light. Maybe it'd glow in the dark.

[livingmyths]

Ooooh! That would be pretty!

[deadmanbusiness]

Or something for a haunted house.

[livingmyths]

Oh yes! That would be so much fun!

[deadmanbusiness]

A heart filled house maybe.

[Now he's just being silly, but he'd seen quite a few odd looking hearts around so, it's possibly viable.]

[livingmyths]

[Lots and lots of giggles!]

Or a house that's a heart!

[deadmanbusiness]

A house in the shape of a heart filled with hearts?

[livingmyths]

Wouldn't a heart be the best kind of home to live in? Because home is where the heart is and it would kind of be so, I don't know, warm and lovely and loved to live in your heart - or someone else's.

[deadmanbusiness]

If you had a good heart it'd be all right. A four room house.

[livingmyths]

[More giggles.]

I guess so!

[deadmanbusiness]

Bedroom, living room, kitchen... do you think the bathroom would count as the fourth room?

[livingmyths]

I don't know. I don't know so much about houses.

Maybe?

[skintoskin]

It's... very shiny...

[livingmyths]

It's so bright! And happy!

Doesn't it make you smile?

[skintoskin]

Well, yeah, I guess. It's weird to se your own heart though, isn't it?

[livingmyths]

Is it mine?

I guess I thought - I don't know what I thought.

Oh wow.

[skintoskin]

That's what some people on the network think, anyway.

[livingmyths]

Oh... I'd better be careful with it then.

It keeps wanting to float off.

[skintoskin]

Yeah, good idea.

Uh, just in case this... curse thing hangs on for longer than usual, try not to let it float away, okay?

[livingmyths]

Oh gosh!

That would be a bad thing.

I'll watch out good!

[skintoskin]

You do that.

Shit, this is so weird...

[livingmyths]

[giggles]

It's the City, Neil. It's always weird!

[skintoskin]

Okay, point to you, but... floating hearts? It's like some sort of... modern art and I don't fuckin' understand that shit.

[livingmyths]

Oh... I guess I don't really either. I just think it's pretty.

[skintoskin]

Well, yeah, but still.

I'll feel better when it's back where it belongs.

[livingmyths]

Probably at midnight, then.

[skintoskin]

Fuckin' curses...

[livingmyths]

Don't worry, Neil. It will be okay. And I'll be careful. I promise.

[skintoskin]

Okay. You'd better be...
