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.

[And a frown.]
But I think he's really gone, so I guess it doesn't matter.

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?

[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.]

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

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

You have absolutely no sense of empathy, do you?

[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.

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.

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?

video;
When someone can't use the clock anymore, then it's given to someone else.

I don't know, it's just always been that way.

[A frown as he thought to himself.]
Now you have!
