Not to mention it'd stain that turtleneck something dreadful- coffee stains are such a trial to get out of white clothing, even with water magic.

[voidster]

Who says I'd swim with my clothes on?

[prettypurpleparlor]

Generally I wouldn't consider that a good idea, yes, but I don't know why you do half the things you do, I'm not going to make any assumptions.

[voidster]

My goodness, you make me sound so interesting. Flattering.

[prettypurpleparlor]

You're quite welcome. Although I'm not sure how you came by the impression that you aren't interesting, it's certainly not an accurate one.

[voidster]

Well, 'wild', I mean.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Fair enough. Although I suppose one could make a case for that, too.

[voidster]

Not very well.

[He'll probably go straight home and lose himself in TV and Wikipedia again.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

You just spent the last few minutes of this conversation trying to convince me you're made of marshmallow. I don't think it's as difficult a case to build as you're thinking.

[voidster]

True, I did do that.

[prettypurpleparlor]

And what does this fact tell you about your life and your choices?

[voidster]

Only good things, of course. I'm flawless.

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Have you ever seen someone roll all five of her eyes? Well, now you have. She's smiling, though.]

Like an uncut gem.

[voidster]

[That gets him to laugh--it's a fairly normal sound, actually. Apparently he does have a voice??]

Exactly like that. A very pretty lump of coal.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Come to think of it, doesn't coal come from old fossilized matter? I suppose some of it could well have been bone. Or...

[She smiles and chuckles softly.]

Perhaps some were mash-mallow reeds.

[voidster]

Both. Bits of 'dinosaur' bone and ancient coffee and marshmallow plants, dug up out of the ground somewhere...

That does sound like me, doesn't it?

[prettypurpleparlor]

It isn't an inaccurate description, no. Although thankfully I don't any of the humans tried mining inside Mt. Ebott.

[voidster]

No, but we did. I didn't say that it was a human who dug me out of the ground.

[prettypurpleparlor]

I'm just relieved they never tried. It would have been a rather awkward way to find the barrier.

[voidster]

[Well. That's a spine-chilling thought. Humans discovering the barrier they can cross... no one who does returns... so, assuming the worst, they send an army...?

That's sobered him up quickly.]

It would have been. We were lucky.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Mm. We could have been more fortunate... but we could have been far, far less so, too.

I wonder if they would have been able to look through the barrier and see us? Is it transparent from the outside?

[voidster]

Yes. They gave us some small mercy, all those years ago.

And I don't know any more than you do. I suppose you could ask 'our' human.

[prettypurpleparlor]

Well, they're their own human, nobody can belong to anybody.

[She mutters the next bit sheepishly under her breath, as if hoping he won't hear it even though he's sitting right there and can't possibly miss it:]

...Except in the sense that they're tiny and adorable and I want to give them so many cookies and a hug.

[voidster]

I need to call them something and I'm obviously not very good at pronouncing names, so...

[Upturned grin again. Happy... teeth. Aren't skeletons weird?]

'Our' human.

[prettypurpleparlor]

[She sighs.]

They really are just too adorable.
