All Through the Night

[sisterdanger]

Her body was only a slender silhouette on the king sized bed. Above her she knew the ceiling was there but it was indistinguishable from the pitch black of a light-less room. Instead of staring into the darkness, Devony was lost in a dusty old memory reel in her own mind

Just when I start to think of Devony as *not* terrifying...

You go and write something like this to keep me terrified!

All kidding aside...I really love reading what you write for her because the ennui and age are palpable.

Heh. I remember that scene with Threnody where he stood right *in* her face and bit his lip to bleed. It never leaves the back of her mind now when dealing with him, as though her vision of him is red-washed.

I still never can imagine myself or any character I play as scary though. It might because my whole life no one ever seems to take me seriously until I actually *do* things. If I say something, no one ever takes it seriously because I'm 'pretty' or I'm 'sociable and flirty', but I am not solemn and serious, intimidating or threatening in any way. To the world, I'm an ornament and no one finds decorations scary.

Funny, you know the most memorable moment of the few months I was doing Kung-fu was my teacher saying to me, "Keep your hands up, you wouldn't want anyone to break that pretty face of yours." It made me feel determined and sad all at once.

Tolliver thinks you're all sick, sick, sick.

But then, he's new-old fashioned that way.

*raises brow* Tolliver has no evidence of any strange deeds on Devony's part! (Well, with the exception of shaving eyebrows off a cow to spoof Len, but that's nothing!)
