Something touched me. I think. "......hello?........." I croaked.

"...Hey." She spoke calmly.

2015-10-29 00:46:23

🌀

"....am I....dead?...." Ivory? Was that...was she still here?

2015-10-29 00:47:05

●

"No. No, not yet."

2015-10-29 00:47:22

🌀

....so, I was still dying then. No....please, no........ "What.......happened?"

2015-10-29 00:49:26

●

"...I don't know."

I finally managed to open my eyes. Everything was too bright, and I winced. ...except the corners of my mouth didn't move. I moved my hand to where I could touch my face, and there was no give of soft skin. Oh, /no/. I dropped my hand and my shoulders started shaking with dry sobs. I'm a fucking /freak/. As if I wasn't already with wooden arms and legs, but now I'm just...what am I? A puppet?

She rubbed his shoulder once more. Today wasn't Madison's day.

🌀

I still couldn't tell what she was doing. She could be stabbing my shoulder with a fork for all I know. I chose to believe she was trying to comfort me. I tried to push myself up, but my arms were shaking, my joints couldn't support me, and I fell back down again. I resigned myself to living in this personal closet-sized Hell until the termites got to me.

"Just...take it easy right now. Alright?"

2015-10-29 01:02:50

🌀

"..........I'm never moving again........."

2015-10-29 01:04:16

●

"That won't make you better."

2015-10-29 01:05:07

🌀

"And moving /will/?"

2015-10-29 01:05:31

●

"Possibly."

2015-10-29 01:06:07

🌀

"I'm not moving, I'm /definitely/ not going outside, and I need to barricade this closet."

2015-10-29 01:08:06

●

"That won't help you. At all."

2015-10-29 01:08:40

🌀

"Going outside will get me sent to a government facility and leaving myself open to attack will get me burnt to a crisp in ten minutes flat."

"You'd be surprised what people will turn a blind eye to. Especially in New York."

"Wings are one thing. A /wooden man/ is another."

2015-10-29 01:10:56

●

"Cosplay exists, Madison."

2015-10-29 01:11:15

🌀

"I don't want to /burn/...."

2015-10-29 01:12:08

●

"You won't."

2015-10-29 01:12:24

🌀

"I will. The second Beckett gets a chance."

2015-10-29 01:12:59

●

"As if he comes out often."

2015-10-29 01:15:08

🌀

"He will for /this/ kind of opportunity."
