046: After the Kissing

How funny!

All that mistletoe and all that kissing going on and at the end of the day I've still only ever kissed one person!

Are you happy or sad about that?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... Well, I'm very happy about who I kissed, but a little sad that I didn't get to kiss anyone else.

I did not kiss anyone. I thought it would be improper, but it seems like girls here do not mind it so much.

Do you think I should think it's improper?

[identity profile] tresdifficile.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
No. Maybe I might have, a week ago. But now I'm not sure. Things are quite different.

I'm glad that you were happy about your kiss. A lot of people seemed upset.

Oh. Okay. Good. Things are different here from home too.

I suppose if I'd ended up kissing someone I really hadn't wanted to I might be upset too. But I didn't.

Is this place anything like where you are from?

It is rude of the City, to compel people. I would have been upset.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
It is in some ways. But the people here are much nicer to me.

Yes, I can understand that. The City does make us do and experience things we don't want to.

[identity profile] tresdifficile.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
It is very different, for me. I am still learning to use this network device.

I have not been here long enough to have seen much of it.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it can be a lovely place! But you have to be careful too!

[identity profile] tresdifficile.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
That is the truth of most places, I believe. Have you been here long?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, about 6 months, I think. I've never been too good with time.

[identity profile] hachi-kun.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
...You've only kissed one person?

Do you mean in your whole life, or just yesterday?

1/4 watch her flip

[identity profile] hachi-kun.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Your whole life--?!?!

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I... because no one wanted to?

I mean, I had sex with people. To help get food or shelter or medicine for the little kids. But they don't kiss you. Mostly they just put their hand over your mouth so you don't make noise.

Mat's the only one I ever kissed

[identity profile] hachi-kun.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh. I'm sorry -- I didn't know --

I'm really sorry!

...So, it that person important to you?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's... it's just the way things were where I was from.

Mat? He's... he's very special to me. He treats me very well.

[identity profile] hachi-kun.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
That's horrible. Where are you from?

Ah...is he here in the City?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
From a world a lot like this. Just... I was a street kid.

Yes, he is. He came to the Library and kissed me yesterday. And he asked me to come to a party with him.

But I'm supposed to wear a fancy dress and I'm afraid I'll look foolish and everyone will laugh. He says I'll look beautiful, though.

[identity profile] hachi-kun.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[Feels awkward because she's had a fairly easy life]

Oh, that's wonderful!

But you shouldn't worry about looking silly. All women look lovely when they are dressed up~

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I think I'll look like an awkward ugly little girl playing dress-up.

[identity profile] hachi-kun.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have someone to help you pick out a dress, make-up, hair accessories, shoes, jewelry and a purse?

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-12 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
My friend, Tony, said he had a dress he hoped I'd wear. mat said he'd go look at it with me.

And I'm sure Abby would help if I asked her.

Hair things and jewelry and a purse? I don't have anything like that!

Only one? How chaste of you.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
I guess nobody else has ever been interested.

[identity profile] mrs-romany.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Or you haven't been persistent enough.

May name is Lara.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Until recently I'd never been kissed and didn't have much interest.

Sex was... well, not a good thing and there's never been kissing involved.

[identity profile] mrs-romany.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Never kissing? Oh, you poor dear.

[identity profile] livingmyths.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I do rather like it. Now that I've tried it.
