i'll put something here eventually
pawper: (i put mustard on that)

[With perfect, immediate, embarrassing sincerity:]

eating?
pawper: (the gamble chocolate)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-09-27 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[....less immediate, as she mentally sorts through things that aren't also chores in some way]

....having money?
pawper: (a bacon-to-bacon time space continuum)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-09-30 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
i used to know a couple
but then i stopped playing and forgot all the rules


[She had to use that brainspace for other things, like new and interesting marinades for roasted insects and grilled frogs that she's caught bare-handed.]

i was never very good at the gambling ones, though
pawper: (did i go to Wendy's twice yesterday...?)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-05 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, i'd like to learn them!
i have a pack of cards from the augur, but they're
um
inappropriate
so i don't know if you'd wanna use those


[So.....naked face cards, clubs that look like dicks, and other perverted details that Lys is trying to forget about.]

movies, though....
i'm guessing it doesn't have anything to do with cows


[Moo-vies, get it? (laughs in medieval peasantry)]
pawper: (the only one here that's eaten a candle)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-07 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm still not used to it, myself
but yeah, maybe we can scribble over anything perverted


[Listen, she wasn't raised to be so blasé about showing off pornographic playing cards designed by dirty-minded robots....but bless Ema for showing a modicum of patience for her defrosted caveman ass.]

ohhh, gotcha!
i'll try to ask for those too
normal ones, i mean
maybe they'll show pity and only give me schmoopy romantic stuff
pawper: (bippity boppity bacon)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-13 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
you'll be the first person i invite over!!
promise


[Ah, Ema definitely has a good point there. Among the fondest memories she has of home are those centered in the kitchen, filled with warmth and the scent of things cooking or baking.]

ooh, you're right
we can bake bread!


[Cookies? Cake? Don't know her.]
pawper: (the bonus fry)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-15 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
really????

[Lys cares!! Lys cares a WHOLE LOT which.....is not a good barometer, actually. But please continue anyway!]
pawper: (food: a love story)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-18 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
well, that explains why my sister's bread always came out funny
she was always too impatient to measure anything carefully
instead she'd grab fistfuls of everything and toss it in


[That it doesn't hurt—much—to mention Freja is a surprise. More of a twinge and less of a sword stab, a blade plunging deep and then withdrawing again.]
pawper: (listing all the food i ate)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-20 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
so long as you ate it anyway, i think it's fine

[Lys, that's just you.]

and i had two!
a younger one and an older one
i'm the second youngest


[Though it hurts less than before to mention her family at all, she still can't help but make it sound like they're dead. Closing that door in her heart, warding off something worse than pain and grief: brittle, paralyzing hope.]
pawper: (eating eggs at 5pm)

this is the worst kind of s-link upgrade

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-22 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Off-screen, Lys pauses, dimly surprised by her own uncertainty. That she actually feels torn about what to say, about saying anything at all, instead of automatically bottling it all up out of fear of sharing the burden.

....well. She's admitted something like this to Summer already, in bits and pieces. The vague shape of it, sanitized and minimized. A second time couldn't hurt much worse, right? And besides, she owes Ema for a lot more than the balance of an honest answer.]


i don't know.
i left home when i was 15
it was pretty bad, so
it's just easier to talk about them like that


[Like they were dead. Or she was dead. Something final; something over.]
pawper: (with toothpaste or caviar?)

1/2

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-23 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[She half-smiles despite herself, despite the melancholy curled over her heart like a fist. The grief that's like a stone in her gut, heavy and unchanging.]

yeah, of course!
the only ones who fought sometimes were the eldest two
being twins, you'd think they would get along the most...
pawper: (fry it or get botulism)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-23 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[A-Anyway!]

what about you?
any siblings?
pawper: (a bacon-to-bacon time space continuum)

[personal profile] pawper 2020-10-26 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[In a different, happier universe, she'd be like that one grandpa with fifty thousand pictures of his grandkids spilling out of his wallet, except with her whole family. But they're not in that universe, they're in this one, where Lys already knows—believes—that nobody else cares.

She's certainly been told as much.]


she sounds like a wonderful sister
and so do you

because you'd try to protect her too, wouldn't you?
if you had to
