Charm ☼ 004 [video]

[Lily's set herself up in the library in her house. There's a cauldron in front of her, a small flame flickering beneath it. She stirs the pot three times clockwise, and then four counterclockwise.]

Hello, Vatheon. There are quite a few new people floating about again, so I thought this was a perfect time to post. I'm Lily. As you can see I've been doing a bit of potion brewing. I finally made it down to the Nostalgia Nook, and the shop from my world is absolutely brilliant.

[She pauses to check her potions book and adds an ingredient, tapping the cauldron twice with her wand. Potions is very complicated and delicate.]

I stocked up on ingredients, so after I brewed a few potions for friends of mine, I thought I'd brew a few other useful ones. First of all a big batch of Pepper-Up. [She gestures to the cauldron.] That'll be a cure for the common cold. And hangovers. So if anyone's feeling a bit under the weather, let me know.

That said, [She turns the heat under the cauldron down.] Equius. Sollux. I'm ready when you are.

He must be very smart, then.

He is! He's very smart.

[His love for his bossu borders on creepy, forgive him.]

I've got a friend who's very fond of reading as well.

Oh yeah? Does he have a whole bedroom full of books?

[No, he's not proud of his bossu at all.]

[identity profile] hexywitch.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
I've never seen his bedroom at home, but I imagine that there are quite a few books in there. He spends quite a bit of his time in the library.

Is your friend here? Maybe he and Blood could get together and talk about books!

[As if that really went over well the first time he suggested it to someone.]

[Her smile fades.]

No. He was, but he's not here anymore.

[Elliot frowns, his ears drooping just a little bit.]

Sorry, I didn't know...

If it makes you feel any better, I think one of my friends is missing too. I haven't seen him for a while, we were supposed to have a grand tea party.

[identity profile] hexywitch.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's all right. You couldn't have known. I'm sorry about your friend, Elliot.

[He thinks over that for a moment shrugging.]

I guess it's all right, he's kind of mean sometimes. And I really wanted to shoot him at first, but he made a really good cake for me so I decided he's good people.

[identity profile] hexywitch.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You wanted to shoot him? Why?

video;

[identity profile] srslynotarabbit.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
He was obnoxious, that's why! Argued with me right off the bat...

[And a frown.]

But I think he's really gone, so I guess it doesn't matter.

[identity profile] hexywitch.livejournal.com 2011-10-10 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That seems a bit extreme to me. Shooting someone for being obnoxious.

[A blink before he laughs.]

That sounds just like something Alice would say!

[But no, he really doesn't understand that shooting is not the answer.]

What else am I supposed to do besides shoot them?

video;

[identity profile] hexywitch.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well Alice sounds very sensible. You could ignore him. Avoid him. Speak with him and work things out. There are a hundred things you could do and if you shoot him you can't do any of them.

[identity profile] srslynotarabbit.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
She's a little weird, but I really like her...

[He sounds almost wistful, cheeks flushing a bit before he goes on.]

...besides, if I shot him I wouldn't have to worry about him being annoying anymore. I'm pretty busy sometimes, so it'd be hard to keep track of a hundred things that would make someone easier to deal with.

[Oh Lily, if only you knew how special he was. And that he was mafia.]

video;

[identity profile] hexywitch.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yes but...think about him. He's got friends and a family and...would you want someone to just go around shooting your friends because they were mildly irritated with them? If you shoot someone they can't ever do anything ever again. Because they bothered you for just a moment.

[identity profile] srslynotarabbit.livejournal.com 2011-10-23 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Totally missed the point.]

If someone went around shooting my friends, you can be damn sure I'd shoot them back!

video;

[identity profile] hexywitch.livejournal.com 2011-11-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
...yes, and that's what I'm saying. He has friends too. Don't you think they'd want to shoot you for shooting their friend?

video;

[identity profile] srslynotarabbit.livejournal.com 2011-11-01 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmm, I guess, but I'm a better shot anyway so I'd definitely get them first!

[Jovial all the while. He's not giving up, Lily.]

[Lily frowns.]

You have absolutely no sense of empathy, do you?

video;

[identity profile] srslynotarabbit.livejournal.com 2011-11-01 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Empathy...?

[It's there, somewhere. But mostly for the people he cares about. :( ]

I can't read anyone's mind or anything, if that's what you're asking.

[Oh look, it's a Gryffindor speech.]

No...it just means that you understand what other people are feeling. That you consider their perspective and understand why they do what they do. Everyone is someone's son or daughter. Maybe someone's mother or father. Best friend. They may just be an annoyance in your life, but to others, they may be the world. It's not just one life you affect. You stop his heart and you break the hearts of his family and friends.

[Excellent speech! Countered with...specialness?]

Stop his heart...

You mean like his clock? I wouldn't break the clocks, not after the last time...I mean...

So long as the clock is intact someone else can use it, right?

...I meant when you kill someone.
