[livingmyths]

All right, since I can't seem to resist...

Truth or Dare?

I would have a dare, Rain, an it please thee.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I dare you to sing a song to someone you like!

[tender-juliet.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know so few! Though I do like them all. I shall, but may I have a bit of time to achieve it?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[tender-juliet.livejournal.com]

Dost thou wish to have dare or truth of thine own, whilst I find a suitable subject for my song?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Sure. Your choice!

[tender-juliet.livejournal.com]

Then I shall return to thee what thou givest: the first person thou comest to in the flesh, thou shalt kiss upon the cheek.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

All right. I can do that.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I did it! (http://caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com/11709.html?thread=712381#t712381)

I think you're a safer bet than Thelma so truth.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Why do you really hate Tony so much?

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

I don't hate him, actually. I can't hate anybody. I just don't trust him. He knows about things that happened back home and sometimes I don't want to remember them.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Did he hurt you somehow?

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

No, he didn't hurt me at all. At least physically not yet, I think.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I wish you could see him the way I do.

No one has ever been as kind to me as he is.

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

He's been kind to you. He's only creeped me out ever since I've gotten here. I don't think we'll ever see him the same way.

But then again, I don't trust adults anyway so as long as he is one, my opinion will stand.

[westcoastrc.livejournal.com]

Dare.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Recite a poem for someone!

[silk_for_calde]

I am not a daring man... but I'd like to think myself an honest one, so, truth!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?

[silk_for_calde]

Oh, that's a difficult question; so many have been so kind...

In my own whorl, a doctor named Crane helped me greatly, many times... He gave me a special bandage for my broken ankle, something from the Short-sun Whorl, barely knowing who I was; it was very valuable, but he let me use it anyway. That may well be the nicest thing, though it's difficult to judge.

Truth or dare, Rain?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh, he was very nice indeed!

Truth, I think, Silk.

[silk_for_calde]

He is a good man, and had I not met him, things would have been quite difficult for me.

Truth? Hmn. I feel I may be intruding too much with this question, but it is something I've wondered. You're such a kind and lovely person, Rain; why do you often have such a low opinion of yourself?

If I'm offending you, please, don't feel compelled to answer me. I could ask something else if you prefer.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

No, it's okay, I...

I think it's...

Well, my dad always told me I was stupid and ugly and bad because of what I could do. And he always said it was my fault my mother died. And being a street kid and always dirty and smelly and banged up didn't make people like me. Whatever school I'd end up going to for a few days or weeks - everyone would make fun of me or shove me around.

Or they'd get freaked out and call me a witch or evil if I knew what they were thinking or what was going to happen.

[silk_for_calde]

..I see. I'm sorry to hear it, Rain. For whatever it may be worth, I think those people did you an injustice. Although I believe all people are inherently good, only a fool would think that we bios don't have the capacity to be startlingly cruel.

You should not let their words affect you so... though I know it can be difficult to shake an image of oneself that one has held for many years.
