Probably not. I've lived here a year and I still ain't. I mean, Christ, sometimes I come home and the ceilin' looks like the sky-- that's the next thin' he's workin' on, makin' the ceilin' look like whatever the sky looks like. Though, er, last time he tried he nearly killed us, so.

action;

[cruelwonder]

The sky? He can't simply walk outside?

[She pauses.]

...Nearly? What happened?

action;

[allucinator]

The, uh, the ceilin' caved in. Down. For a bit. We fixed it, though, so no worries.

action;

[cruelwonder]

[She's torn between amusement and astonishment.]

Jack!

action;

[allucinator]

Nobody got hurt!

action;

[cruelwonder]

You'd have gotten yourselves killed! And your rats! Think of your children.

action;

[allucinator]

Excuse me, the rats are on the third floor, the children and grandchildren are fine. Yorick just got a bit o' a scare, that's all, and we fussed over him enough after he didn't even remember.

action;

[cruelwonder]

[She laughs softly.]

He's got a horrible memory.

[She blinks when they emerge on the other side, adjusting her eyes to the light.]

Just be careful. If I hear your house has caved in one day while I'm at the orphanage...

action;

[allucinator]

What're you gonna do, kill me? I'll already be dead.

action;

[cruelwonder]

Oh, ha ha. I'll think of something.

action;

[allucinator]

But Alice--

action;

[cruelwonder]

Don't you "but" anything. I have my ways. "Hell hath no fury," as they say.

action;

[allucinator]

I wouldn't have even done nothin'!

action;

[cruelwonder]

You'd have gotten yourself killed and that's enough.

action;

[allucinator]

And enough punishment, I'd think.

action;

[cruelwonder]

You think?

[She raises an eyebrow, trying not to smile.]

action;

[allucinator]

[He gives her an exaggerated pout, his eyes sad.]

Oh, yes.

action;

[cruelwonder]

[She swats at him.]

Don't give me that face.

action;

[allucinator]

[He laughs and leans forward, his arms wrapping around her waist, nosing against her neck.]

But Al-lice--

action;

[cruelwonder]

[She twists in his grip, laughing, his nose tickling her.]

You little-- That tickles!

action;

[allucinator]

Like you mind--

[He laughs and keeps her close, kissing (or trying to) at the crook of her neck.]

action;

[cruelwonder]

[She puts her arms around him and makes a quiet sound against his shoulder.]

I never claimed I did.

action;

[allucinator]

[He grins, moving to kiss her neck once again.]

Oh, excellent, cuz I hate bullshit--

action;

[cruelwonder]

[She smiles, kneading at his shoulders.]

Mmh.

[She turns her head and kisses his cheek awkwardly.]

action;

[allucinator]

[He grins, holding still.]

You have lovely hands.
