She stood up, and moved towards him. "Well, everyone comes here for a Halloween. It's a big tradition." She took him by the wrist. "This way." She led him to the full length mirror in front of the dressing room.

Ah yes. This mirror. I remember it...well, at least, if not fondly. "Really? ...oh, goodness. Are we absolutely certain I'm not dying?"

"Well, I could kiss you to find out, but Jackson might get pissed that I ruined it."

"The makeup would definitely disappear if you did that, so I don't know if that's a good way to judge it."

"Well, then is my wound real? I mean, I did give you my heart after all."

2015-10-25 10:36:59

🌀

"I don't think so. At least, I hope not."

2015-10-25 10:38:59

●

"That might require an explanation if it was real."

2015-10-25 10:39:44

🌀

"I wouldn't want to be here for that."

2015-10-25 10:39:57

●

"Well, I'd probably be dead by then."

"..................that isn't helping."

2015-10-25 10:40:47

●

"...You're right, sorry."

2015-10-25 10:41:40

🌀

"No, you didn't do anything."

2015-10-25 10:41:55

●

"Well I did make you /faint/, so."

2015-10-25 10:42:38

🌀

"That's only because I freaked out unnecessarily."

2015-10-25 10:42:58

●

"Nah, you just didn't expect it." She took his hand. At least she could do this. "Though, this could scare some people if we walked down the street together."

2015-10-25 10:44:10

🌀

"...it definitely could. Are you proposing this as an actual possibility?"

2015-10-25 10:44:36

●

"I'd be up to it if you were. Might scare a few people."

2015-10-25 10:45:41

"That could be fun. So long as it doesn't rain. Shall we?"

It'd been a while since I'd dreamed here. Thank goodness. I mean, that's probably good. It really depends. Jesus, my head hurts. I didn't hit my head in my sleep, did I? Keeping my eyes squeezed shut against the light, I groaned and lifted a hand to my forehead. It made a clacking sound as it touched. What...... I cracked an eye open, then the other in complete shock, turning my hand to look at it. It was dark, with a grain running along it, ball joints in my knuckles, fingers, and wrist.....all wood....no. No possible way. You've got to be kidding me. What...what /am/ I?! This isn't permanent, is it?! It can't be! I jumped to my feet, knees almost buckling under me, and looked myself over, pulling up my pant leg to check my ankle too. All wood. Holy shit. Holy /shit/. /Why/?!! /Why am I a puppet/?!

2015-10-25 10:53:53

●

Oh. I was here? Good. I needed to be here for once. Someone was going to die. I don't care who was here. I marched forward.

2015-10-25 10:57:49

🌀

I'd say I have to be dreaming, but I am, and it's just as bad. Were Ivory and Seculus around here somewhere? Maybe...they could help me. Even if they didn't like me, I could ask. /Help me/. I don't understand what's going on. How am I breathing? Fuck that, how am I moving at all?? This...this isn't right! "IVORY?! HELLO?!" My voice still sounded the same. ....at least there was that.

2015-10-25 11:00:58

●

I found myself behind...a wooden man. The fuck? Oh. It was Madison. Just the man I wanted to see. "So you've been talking to /her/ too?!" I snapped. I put my hands on my hips.

2015-10-25 11:02:35

🌀

I went still. Oh, Hell. "Yes, I have, a few times, because she was in the room and it would be kind of rude to just pretend she wasn't. Lucinda, /help/, do you know what's going on??"

2015-10-25 11:04:49

●

"God has abandoned you is what's going on."

"No fucking shit. Wait. Was this what Satan meant by me being a yardstick?! Jesus, this had better...." Please wear off, please, please, please. "So how was /your/ week? Bet it was better than mine."
