wasn't really bitching

but why'd he want out? he didnt say anything about that

[pummelgranite]

[ it takes just a liiiiiiittle too long for the reply to come in ]

Who cares.

Action

[purple_reign]

[Well guess what it's time to SPARKLE OVER THERE.]

Do you really expect me to believe that you don't care?

[pummelgranite]

[ fucking inanna ]

Inanna! Oh my god knock.

[ Throws a pillow directly at their face. ]

[purple_reign]

[Oh, shit. They do look quite apologetic now, even after the pillow hits them.]

I'm sorry. I should have—I wasn't thinking.

[pummelgranite]

[ Huffs. ]


Uh huh.

[purple_reign]

Sorry... I just don't understand what changed so suddenly. You know he even moved out of his apartment?

[pummelgranite]

[ OK, that's kind of weird but- ]


So . . . ?

[purple_reign]

So I'm worried about my friends...? Like I always am.

[pummelgranite]

[ She sighs, and takes a long moment to reply. ]

That shit in the dream, the things I did . . . I think they really fucked him up.

[ It comes out flat, not really sounding remorseful, but certainly not sounding proud of it either. ]

[purple_reign]

[Oh. Oh hell. Inanna grimaces and reaches hesitantly towards her.]

But that... That wasn't us.

[pummelgranite]

So? It still happened to him.

[purple_reign]

But—no. I... I hurt him too. Why wouldn't he be mad at me too?

[pummelgranite]

Maybe he is. Maybe because I hurt him more. Dunno.

[purple_reign]

You didn't! He just— It just...has to be too fresh.

[pummelgranite]

[ She shrugs. ]


Still his choice.

[purple_reign]

...Are you really okay with this? Honestly.

[pummelgranite]

It's for the best.

[purple_reign]

People only say that about painful things.

[pummelgranite]

Fine. It's necessary.

[purple_reign]

[They suck in a sharp breath.]

Persephone...

[pummelgranite]

[ Urgh. Shit. ]


Sorry. Sorry, shit. Just- I- I need to be Persephone. I'm not going to let this place make me anyone else. And John- I- . . . I can't blame him, for not wanting to be part of this. Can you?

[purple_reign]

No, I know, I... It's hard. It's hard to have people that close, but I just—I thought... [They trail off with a frown, one hand pressed to their forehead in thought.]

But you said it was because of the dream. It was because of...who you are?

[pummelgranite]

The dream- it made him think about what I am. What I might be.

[purple_reign]

...You mean what people claim you are?
