Living The Unlife

[Calithin]

"Hmm.... I have never tried and never will try squash, so I cannot comment. My least favorite vegetable is cauliflower, which I also have never tried but I still dislike it. There is no vegetable I have tried that I dislike so it will do. And I am allergic to strawberries, I tried one when I was younger and it was not pretty, I think it is more of a mental allergy and I really can eat strawberries, but that is a big secret so shh."

*I walk one of the rooms with Hope and look around briefly. It's very plain.*

[Hope98]

"Yes, I suppose it is."

"You know, strawberries are symbolic of love and in some cultures death... what an allergy to have...or pretend to have."

[Calithin]

"Yes well, there used to always be strawberries around you know. And I would convince everyone that I was allergic, so they would never put it in anything that was for me. But when no one was around and I was alone I used to sneak the strawberries out and eat them with lots of sugar."

*I look at the pillows very closely to try and decide which one I want, it's very important.*

"I think I do like strawberries... a little."

[Hope98]

"It is okay if you don't want to admit it to others. I understand."

Really I don't understand many of the things that Calithin does. He has his own strange logic about things.

"I am openly a strawberry eater and have always been. I like strawberry shortcake. When I was young I had a strawberry shortcake doll, that had strawberry scented kisses."

[Calithin]

*I laugh for a little while.*

"You know what? You kind of sound like Strawberry Shortcake. You really do! I have thought so for the longest time, I meant to mention it a while ago actually..."

*I smile and pick the pillow on the left.*

[Hope98]

"As in the beloved doll from the 1980s or as in the strawberry desert?" I say as I sit down on the very plain looking bed in the sparse and plain room.

[Calithin]

"The doll... Must you ruin my fun with specifics?"

*I remove my shoes and put them around where I think I will get up when I do by the bed and sit down on the other side across from her.*

[Hope98]

"Oh, I wasn't aware that the doll had a voice."

I kick off my shoes and notice that there is a strawberry shortcake doll in the corner. It is a large one with eyes that close shut when you lay her down.

"Is it just me, or was that thing not in the room 5 minutes ago?.... Oh nevermind, I should just get some rest."

[Calithin]

*I look over at the very odd doll.*

"I'm going to put that outside. I don't like dolls... when I go to sleep. It's wierd and uncomfortable."

*I pop up for a second very happy to see that I ended up near my shoes, I thought so. I pick up the doll and walk over to the door.*

[Hope98]

I laugh since it was all sort of strange and random that the doll appeared. I stretch out and think about the doll.

"Do I sound like that? Hmm, well, so my voice is cheerful and girlish...."

[Zinn]

"We should get the house before we get Sasha and Antero back, so we can prepare a proper infirmary. Houses don't usually come equipped with those. Almost never, actually. Antero was doing heroin, right? Getting off of that stuff is nasty. I've seen people getting off of smack. It isn't pretty at all," Zinn says.

"OK, we have a majority vote. I'll start looking for a house in that area later today. In the mean time, I think we should go meet Bassarov personally. I don't think he took our request very seriously. In fact, I think he is occupied with less important things, like teaching adult classes for Red Infinity," Sarin says.

[Calithin]

*I put the doll outside and give it a mean look just to be sure before walking back inside the room and closing the door behind me.*

"You do have a very cheerful voice. As I said like strawberry shortcake or maybe Blossom, the powerpuff girl, yes like her grown up."

*I walk over and lay down on the bed lazilly.*

[Lena]

Lena opens her hand, looking at the cross and running her fingers along it lightly before closing her head again and looking up at Peter. "All right, if you don't mind telling me them, then I would like to hear some of the ones you remember.."

She says as she pulls out the ties in her hair. She didn't always like to wear her hair back, since the only reason she did was out of habit from her mother always making her.

[Hope98]

I am amused at being told I have the voice of a grown up power puff girl. I could be offended, but it is not a big deal and I like my overly cheerful voice.

I kiss his cheek.

"Rest well..." I say this since unless I deactivate myself, which I don't feel like doing, I won't get any real sleep.

[Calithin]

"We'll see."

*I smirk a bit and turn on my side closing my eyes after a little while. I drift for a long time before falling into a light sort of sleep.*
