"Morrigan Prince. I'm afraid I'm too busy to answer at the moment, but leave a message and I promise to respond as soon as I'm able."

I'm not sure that making soup stock from your own bones ISN'T a bit of a horrifying thought, Jon.

[compellingstatement]

I'm not going to do it.
Just a thought.

Jared said they were a bit funny somehow, though.
They look like normal ribs to me.
I wonder if I should have them examined by someone.

[rosebyanyother]

"Mmm. No more terrible than the fact that I sort of liked you wicked."

Which is to say....perhaps. But that Jaime also isn't alone in being a little bit terrible, if that's the case.

"I wish it wouldn't have happened that way, but as I said...with you, it was possible to fall into the scene. I couldn't do that with the others. And I've actually submitted to two of them before."

[the_fairest_flower]

"Did you?" Well, that gets his attention. And it really is oddly flattering to hear that confession. Especially if Morrigan had experience with others.

"Well, if you ever decide you'd like to explore that again under far better circumstances... I'd be open to that."

[rosebyanyother]

Would it matter if they were?/font>

[compellingstatement]

No, but I'm curious.
Wouldn't you be?
Most people don't get to examine their own ribs.

I suppose you're right.
Though really the names are more like personas. Morrigan Prince isn't exactly Peter Nureyev. He has his own history.

I'm sorry to hear that.
And while I realize I had no real choice in the matter, I'm a bit sorry I inadvertently brought up the subject.

[ghosttownapproach]

then arent they even more real? or less fake at least

i will call you whatever you want to be called and if you want to be different let me know and i will call you that instead

[rosebyanyother]

Peter smiles wanly, though there is a note of curiosity to his expression.

"I think it might take me some time, but...I can't say the thought doesn't interest me a bit." He squeezes Jaime's hand. "I'm curious. And I think it might be nice to...overwrite what happened yesterday. Eventually.

I appreciate your softness but I think I'd also like to...properly appreciate you being sharp."

[the_fairest_flower]

"I'll be sharp for you, darling. When you're ready to try it."

There is something a little thrilling about the prospect. Jamie tells himself the situation will be much different: Morrigan will have a choice, they'll have boundaries and rules in place so that things can stop and go and slow down as needed. Neither of them will be forced into finishing anything.

"I was like that all the time when I first got here," he admits. "Still am half the time at the Gray Room."

[rosebyanyother]

I'm not absolutely sure I would be.
Who is Jared?

[rosebyanyother]

You know, I'm not really sure.
They're real, but they're also very much a performance.

All the same. I appreciate that very much, Jack. Thank you.

Another avatar.
The Boneturner... hence.
He serves the Flesh.
And attacked the Archives while I was in a coma.
My assistants took care of him with help from Helen.

so is halloween jack. P)

if i ever go home

if i remember all of this. i may take a different name. or i may not and i may make the name mean something new.

[rosebyanyother]

"Were you?"

Peter's expression takes on a bit more curiosity.

"Not that I don't believe it....but you've always been so sweet to me.

I know you're capable of just about anything. It's just slightly difficult for me to picture."

Despite having the proof right in front of him. He has a model for the other side of Jaime but he is so used to that softness.

Well. He did lie to me about my past. Or, my father's past anyway.

[the_fairest_flower]

"Consider, darling, that's because I like you." Jamie brushes his fingers along the line of Morrigan's jaw with a soft, fond look. "I think you've done a bit to earn some sweetness from me."

Morrigan has been good to him, and that makes Jamie very inclined to be good in return. And besides, Morrigan has always felt like something of a kindred spirit in more than a few ways.

"And this place has absolutely pushed me to be my worst self at least once." He wrinkles his nose at the memory. "I'd much rather have more control if I'm going to be wicked with you."

[policier]

Is it not something you wish to discuss? You may tell me if I am speaking out of turn. I will take no offense.

[rosebyanyother]

If you took a new one, do you have any idea of what it might be?

[ghosttownapproach]

i dont know

i think i heard a story once about a little man fighting a giant and winning by throwing a rock at him

whatever his name is that might be nice

if thats how things turn out

[rosebyanyother]

Peter chuckles a bit at the rejoinder. Yes, alright. A fair point. Leaning in to the caress, he smiles a bit.

The smile fades a little at the reminder of...worst selves, and he hums half-under his breath in response.

"...There is that, yes." Then, he clears his throat, smile reasserting itself. "And I agree. I'm interested in what you would do."

Not some twisted version of Jaime.

[the_fairest_flower]

Jamie tips Morrigan's head toward him so he can give a kiss. What does he want to do? So many things, all of them pulling in different directions. He nudges his nose gently against Morrigan's and a small smile flickers across his mouth.

"I keep wanting to offer you things. Some way to make it better. To make you feel better." But this isn't exactly something he can just fix, nor can he rush Morrigan's recovery. "I can at least promise that whenever we decide to try, you'll have all of me."

[rosebyanyother]

I can't say I'm terribly fond of the topic.
Though I acknowledge I did bring it up. Not entirely willingly, mind you. But here we are.
Who are you, by the way?
