[ And with his permission, she comes through. There's a dream that's currently in progress behind him and she smiles at it? them? And when she looks to her younger, taller brother, she gives him a hug.

Both arms around him.
]

You're an idiot. [ She chokes out. She might cry in a little bit, if she lets go.

She might have been busy then, but she loves her brother. In all his aspects and facets. She loves him even as, just a little bit before he had set an old wrong to rights, she took an aspect of him in another universe that died by the mad star. She told Destiny this, she knows. Maybe, for once, Destiny summoning Dream from the Darkness their mother put him through, was a kindness.

Lots of what-ifs and maybes run in her head. He'll tell her they don't matter now— heck, he might have said something similar before. One time it had been I didn't want to worry you. She always worries, for him, and each of her siblings. But none of them made her worry as much as Dream did... does. Delirium feared her, in her own way, which was fair. And the twins didn't have a lot of things they needed a big sister for. Destruction left. Destiny keeps to himself until he has read that he requires their presence.

So, she was the closest to Dream.

You're a silly idiot.

no biggie <3

What do you think.

[ She sounds muffled, her face right at his chest. Sucks to be the oldest sister and shorter than her two younger brothers. ]

You're, [ sniffs ] an idiot. [ +1 sniffs ] I'm sorry you had to go through all of that.

[ She's not quite openly crying but she holds him a little tighter and a little bit longer. It's a little embarrassing but at least they're in his gallery and not... well, at least no one from his staff will see. ]

I'm hurt because you, you— [ her third sniffle. Then she looks up at his him. Her mascara's ruined, and she can feel it going down her cheeks, mixed with her tears. ] You're so you.

[ +4 sniffs. She lets him go, taking a bright blue handkerchief from her jacket pocket and wiping her face with it. She wheezes out a small, quiet giggle when the handkerchief is mostly stained black. ] I ruined my makeup.

[ She folds the handkerchief and puts it back into a pocket in her jacket. ]

Yeah, sitting... would be nice. I've been on my feet the whole day.

[ the laugh that bubbles out from her is fond and fleeting. ]

Nah, you'd probably smudge it on the first try. [ The image of her little brother sitting down with her trying to do her makeup is silly and a touch sad. ]

... Mm, sometimes I go out with makeup on and sometimes I don't. [ she flops on the conjured sofa and reaches down to take off her boots. ] That's what Unity told me. I'm glad it happened rather peacefully.

[ boots off, she brings up her legs to the sofa and hugs them. ]

Still. You aren't catching a break, aren't you, little brother?

She thought you were cute, if a little bit of a ditz.

[ She says that with fondness. Because she agrees and she's not biased at all.

At the mention of the play title, the smile on her face grows a little bigger.
]

Funny you mention that, because I kinda do.

[ Once, every century, just like how her brother and Hob Gadling meet. ]

That was how I met Hazel and Sexton.

[ She pokes his knee. ]

That hurt, didn't it? It's fine. You know it's not bad.

[ She settles more into the couch, no longer hugging her legs. ]

So, I don't know if I ever told you this. I probably haven't. Anyway, every century, I'm human.

[ And she hears how that sounds and she snorts, waves a hand as if waving something away. ] Mortal. Once every century, I'm mortal for a day. I was in New York, went out for a walk, and heard a guy yell from a dump site because a fridge fell on him. That was Sexton.

You say that. [ Like, an unhealthy amount. She pokes his knee again, a little bit rougher, to make—heh—a point. ] It's alright to say you're not okay, did you know?

[ The humans even made a show around the very idea. She was charmed by it. ]

Well, yeah. And, remember a long time ago, even before this world, somebody really told me I was a bitch? She dared me to see what it was like, be mortal for a day, and picking myself up after all that.

[ It was revelatory, and well, it helped. And it continues to do so. She reckons she'll do this until it's Closing Time for the universe. She's fair (maybe 99% of the time, and the other 1% was for the brief times she couldn't even comprehend the certain viciousness and cruelty that a great many sentient beings carried within them until she comes to them at the end of their lives) after all. ]

Got into a spot of trouble, though. Mad Hettie pulled Sexton and I through, though.

omg i feel like this is so long T_T

jovial: (gracious lady)
From: [personal profile] jovial
Because you're an idiot. [ Fondly. Very fondly. In fact, she pats the knee she poked with as much gentleness as she musters. ] Because sometimes you can be so stubborn and proud that you shut us away. I know everyone else are bad at showing or saying they care about you, about each of us, but we do.

[ Not their parents though. She's made her peace with that, that their parents are just too distant and too eldritch and inhuman to even remotely care about anyone else but themselves and each other. So, all seven siblings have each other, in various ways. Destiny is sometimes too much like their Father, exactly his function and purpose, and second to Dream in enacting his responsibilities. But Destiny cares, in his own ways. Destruction cares, and she understands why he left. He cares too much and then he packed his gallery, his sigil, and any of his things. The twins care, in their own little ways (even if Desire can be rather callous and cruel; Despair, awful and depressing). And Delirium cares, but Delirium is herself, and sometimes she's there, sometimes she's not.

Anyway!
]

Oh, no. Mad Hettie... I suppose, she asked. As a favor. [ she shrugs. The old lady in the 18th century telling her that Death ain't some bonny young lass, dressed entirely in black. ] Hob Gadling, you already know about that. Um, who else. You remember Madame Xanadu? Or well, that's what she goes by nowadays. She read her cards. The final one she pulled was really funny. Figured she could go on for a little bit longer, but I said, "You're not going to be as young as you used to look." [ Another shrug. ] She seemed to be fine with that, and you know us, we got all the time.

[ But has she answered his question... ]

You know, I think it's because I'm a little too nice. Maybe.

[ She rolls her eyes but also she knew he'd say that. ]

I can't speak for everyone but I know I would get you help. [ She knows Mad Hettie and dear ol' Henrietta knows people. ] And I could have, if you had called me. [ She reckons Destiny could have made the smallest of changes, like a drop of water hitting the binding circle. Small, insignificant changes to the eyes of many, but big enough for a chance. ]

But, it's happened. [ She sort of deflates onto the pillows behind her. ] A lot of things have happened and everyone's made their choices.

[ She swats a stray lock of hair getting into her eye. ] You're nice, too, though you'll disagree with that. [ She lifts her head from the pillows. ] Who do you mean? Have you ran into Charles Rowland?
jovial: (dream give me your hand)
From: [personal profile] jovial
[ You get a bit of a side-eye from her, little brother. Something inside her feels like he has been planning something for the longest time. Oh well. ]

Oh, that's a... well, I wouldn't call it a relief. But at least Charles and Edwin are still playing detectives.

[ A witch. Borrowed time and backdoor deals. She knows this person. ]

The Thessalian. Yeah, I've heard of her. [ And some of her good humor slips. Death doesn't like how the witch does things. Sure, she's smart and resourceful and while not entirely manipulative (Wanda didn't know her long but she had been decent, and she did help with Barbie's situation), she has done so much throughout her entire life that does not vibe with her.

And because the damned Ladies seem to let do whatever.
] No, she never asked me, at least, not politely. More like demanded and I said no, so she found someone else.

[ In retrospect, Mad Hettie had been much nicer. A wee bit informal, considering her background, but was still nice. ]

Pretty sure she hates my guts.

[ Not that she has any but the Thessalian is the Thessalian, the last of her kind. Wanda told her of one facet, a modern one. Doesn't mean the Thessalian is off the hook, though. She's murdered her way through immortality and she's ferried those poor, sorry souls.

And they had nothing good to say about the Thessalian.
]

Not quite. I'm there every time she does another animal sacrifice, y'know. Or kills a man then uses her magic to bring said man's shade to what's left of the man's face, nailed to a wall. [ She remembers this because Wanda had a lot of stories but That had been fucking wild, girl. Thessaly just ripped George's face off! ] I'm unavoidable. Sooner or later, she'll have her own happy ever after, or whatever passes for one, for someone like her.

[ Why is he asking this though— Wait. ]

You didn't... make a deal with her or anything, have you?

Dream. Did you date the Thessalian?
