[a heart.]

[antreegonist]

There's a moment of nothing but light and sensation. Someone's looking you over and the scrutiny prickles and burns – it's nearly a physical pain, like fine little hooks digging past your skin, into the very meat of you. I know who you are, it says, and I know what you are, and that you don't have any business here --

“But you do,” says Mithos behind you. He's a tired, steady voice in your ear, a light hand on your shoulder. “I don't know what Dream's thinking, but everyone is welcome here in my heart; just keep in mind it's a real mess right now.”

Your vision clears.

You would also have had to hug a dead sister corpse.

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

[yeah but that's EXACTLY WHY that part needed a hug

shuffles over to that box and stares it down]

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

Just a box.

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

[I DON'T TRUST YOU, BOX

hhhesitates... then takes a deep breath and shuts that mofo]

Re: [past - heart]

Utter possessiveness. She's yours it's yours she's yours, nothing can take them from you, no one can take them from you, you'll kill anyone who tries, you won't let them!

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

[good god

presses the lid down the rest of the way >:T before stopping for a breather]

The room slowly fades around you, into the top of a grassy hill at sunset. You can see doors standing at the bottom -- one on the left, one on the right.

Mithos is here: he's very tiny, about six or seven years old. He's sleeping.

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

[... tiny mithos...?

shuffles over, sits down next to...]

I guess this is your place, huh.

[not really expecting an answer though since tiny mithos is asleep.]

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

After a minute, he shifts and rolls into you a little.

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

[my instinctive reaction to this is to pet whatever is doing it

... pet pet]

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

Okay.

He's cuddling into you.

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

[aa-aaaaaaa aaaaa so cute

I think we can take a break for cuddling a tiny]

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

He blinks a little after a while, sleepy . . .

"Mmn?"

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

Oh... sorry, did I wake you up?

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

"--Hazel!"

How did he get in your lap so fast? The world may never know.

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

[c-cuuute, pets some more]

Hey. You got all tiny.

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

"I'm always tiny."

Cuddle cuddle.

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

Oh.

[thoughtful pettins]

How are you doing?

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

"I'm tired . . . the heart's really heavy right now. Frogs aren't helping."

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

Frogs... yeah, I don't think frogs would be very good at holding heavy things.

[:|a]

Maybe you could get something less squishy. Like... a crocodile.

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

"Um . . . that's bigger than a turtle . . . I'm working on turtles now! But I think if I have enough turtles I can make a crocodile."

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

Oh.

Do you need any help making a turtle? I mostly know about cats, but turtles are pretty cute too.

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

He beams up at you.

"You're helping with a turtle right now."

Re: [past - heart]

[gravitysrainbow]

Really?

Re: [past - heart]

[antreegonist]

"Really. I'm happy that you're here. We're making a happy memory."
