You think so? Having an eye, I mean.

[firstworldproblem]

Without question. Is it not poetry in another form? What you just told to me about these dresses.

[failedsafe]

I do believe fashion is just really another art, another way to speak, and you have to let your voice out. Or should.

[She's been feeling weird about that lately, and eyes the clothes around them thoughtfully. She's definitely muted herself, lately, wearing the most boring things, doing the most boring things with her hair, no makeup...]

[firstworldproblem]

You've had a difficult time of late. Choices with no good answers. Take your time in recovery. But do know we are here for you.

[failedsafe]

...Do...do you think less of me?

[firstworldproblem]

Please. I've been scraped up off the proverbial floor more times than I care to admit.

[failedsafe]

I always see you bounce back so quickly, though.

[firstworldproblem]

Practice. A skill I hope you will never be good at.

[failedsafe]

Yeah, well, this last one was a doozy, but I've had my own share of practice before coming here.

[firstworldproblem]

It did hit particularly hard. But there is no right way to grieve. No wrong way either.

Besides doing simple, uncomplicated things like this lifts my spirits. I am rather simple at heart.

[failedsafe]

[No wrong way to grieve, huh...]

Well, seeing you happy helps a lot, and I do really like spending time with you regardless of circumstance.

[firstworldproblem]

[Nope! Nothing wrong here.]

Am I normally so glum?

[failedsafe]

It's not that...I just like [love] you a lot, so isn't it natural to want for your happiness especially?

[firstworldproblem]

I appreciate it, Lily. And I think we both can enjoy dressing up and terrorizing others with it, hmm?

[failedsafe]

[She looks aghast! Completely aghast!]

Why, I would never terrorise anyone, with clothes or otherwise. I certainly have not in the past and have no plans to do so in the future, immediate or otherwise!

[firstworldproblem]

That's my girl!

You should get a gift for Levity. He's rather had a hard time of it as of late.

[failedsafe]

Hmmm...about that, I actually wanted to speak to you of something sort of related to it.

[firstworldproblem]

[He taps his chin, but holds his thoughts for the moment.]

Go on.

[failedsafe]

My thinking was naive and dangerous in Wed, Bed, Behead, and it got people hurt. People I should have advocated to protect, so going forward, I would like to protect BAD END.

[firstworldproblem]

And what of Future is Now?

[failedsafe]

Well, we already were protecting them, right? Though I wonder if its current members aside from Sho are aware of why...not that there aren't new reasons to do so.

[cough cough levity cough]

[firstworldproblem]

But of the two which would you protect?

[failedsafe]

Both, if I could.

[firstworldproblem]

An there is the challenge. Eichi wanted to protect sensitIV. Thus I could not in good faith give you two choices and him one. That is why it is important for you decide which is more important. You can switch each game if you like.

[failedsafe]

"More important"...I hate that. They're all important. I know what you mean, I just...hate this a lot. [She worries her lip and tuts sharply.] Protecting the healers is the only thing I could agree with with any conviction.

[Her tone is a bit wry.]

Hopefully, it will not come to choosing between them...or that we won't have quite that same make up once again.

[She runs a hand through her bangs and only her bangs, deceptively careful not to ruin his work.]

I have...more lovers on BAD END but that doesn't mean Levity's life is worth any less or that I want to see him hurt.
