...now here's a curse I can really like.

Truth or Dare, everyone!

Durst I ask thee for a dare?

[tender_juliet]

Hast thou, then?

[deadlesbian]

Yes, actually.

Now. I suppose it's time for me to ask for a truth.

[tender_juliet]

A truth you shall have. If thou couldst have one true wish, but never any more after, what wouldst thou wish for?

[deadlesbian]

I'd wish my friend Cassie into a happy afterlife, rather than eternal darkness.

[tender_juliet]

I would wish this for thee as well, Thelma.

[deadlesbian]

...Cassie really is sort of stuck in eternal darkness, though.

[tender_juliet]

I mean...I would join thee in wishing this for thy friend. My regrets, Thelma, I...it is a terrible thing.

[deadlesbian]

It was for love, I guess. As sad as that is.

[tender_juliet]

Naught is ever sad if done for love.

[deadlesbian]

It may be when that love is for your baby that ends up growing up to be an evil bastard.

[tender_juliet]

Then sad for that no other came forth to nurture, teach him to be good and righteous, for respect for his mother's loving sacrifice.

[deadlesbian]

Yeeeah, I suppose that's true. But I'm not sure how anyone can go from baby to seventeen in about a month and not end up a bit weird.

[tender_juliet]

No, 'tis...'tis not a natural thing. Witchery, then?

[deadlesbian]

Part witchery, part fallen angel.

[tender_juliet]

More noble yet, his mother's sacrifice. Perhaps she doth not dwell in darkness, as thou fearest. Such depth of love would have reward?
