DEATH, MAMA, FIREBUG, MISFIT, FALLEN, HOME (twice).

IMPRISONMENT. 

PATRICIDE.

I'd like to know who the last two applied to, the very last especially.  Killing your father is one thing; eating him is another.  

Is it evil to eat the candy when you know what will happen when you do, or is it natural to satisfy your curiosity when there are secrets for the taking? 


[ooc: All of these will almost certainly be brought up with the characters they belong to (except for the last two, although Justin won't forget it).  Brace yourself.]

Maybe two years? I haven't been in the City for a while; time's difficult to manage.

I'm sorry, but may I ask for your name? We've spoken, but I don't think we've been introduced.

I don't think I was here, then.

It's Eames.

[othersdie]

A lot of people weren't.

Justin. It's nice to meet you.

Then you can't exactly blame them all for not remembering, hm?

And you.

[othersdie]

I don't blame them; I blame the people who should know better.

One do has to wonder what goes through the minds of someone who looks at a candy with that sort of writing on it.

[othersdie]

"Is this a horrible secret that I would otherwise never know? Does it belong to someone I know or, worse, does it belong to me? I should eat it and find out."

I can only speak for myself.

"Is this candy going to taste the same as the usual sorts?"

[othersdie]

For the curious, the answer's no, it doesn't.

[signatures]

Better or worse, or just different?

[othersdie]

Different. The flavors are interesting.
