Seems as if a stubborn troll has spent quite some time scraping his hand against all kinds of rough surfaces. It's now been rubbed raw and stings too much to continue.]
No more than a day has passed and already there is another invasion upon my physical being. I assuming that this writing serves a purpose? It does not hurt, yet, but I would not be surprised if some ridiculous magic causes my hand to disappear this time.
It was a clever trick, but I will not fall for it again. All the same, my skin is stained. How do I remove it.
[The journal spins around, showing a rather angry pair of shades. The displeased expression dulls into a bored look and a frustrated sigh follows.]
For those who might be concerned, for whatever reason, I am fine, now. Lily, I have not seen you since that abrupt and unsolicited chaos and hope that you are fine as well.

Date: 2011-11-04 08:56 pm (UTC)[Que awkward silence. Equius still feels like something is wrong. Darn your complicated human emotions.]
What have you been doing since the event? Nepeta said she saw you as she was carrying my body. It is unfortunate that you had to see eh-... It without my head on it.
[ audio ]
Date: 2011-11-04 09:14 pm (UTC)[Around her room, that is.]
I, yeah, I saw your body... Yeah... I'm sorry, about your pumpkin, I really shouldn't have... You know... Because then... The thing... I'm so sorry.
[Audio]
Date: 2011-11-04 09:45 pm (UTC)[There's another pause.]
Are you unhappy with me, still? Though you have stated otherwise, I still get the feeling that something wrong had happened that night, before the incident.
[What was it Mimmi had said? Something about her thinking he lied about liking her if she weren't strong? Or was it the blood thing...]
[ audio ]
Date: 2011-11-04 09:52 pm (UTC)[It's the blood thing. Lily is always going to feel inferior. Always.]
[Audio]
Date: 2011-11-04 10:11 pm (UTC)[Curse this human habit of not speaking your mind. DO IT LILY.]
There is something wrong.
[ audio ]
Date: 2011-11-04 11:22 pm (UTC)[Lily is the worst liar ever. Always has been.]
I promise.
[Audio]
Date: 2011-11-04 11:45 pm (UTC)[Lies are UNGRACEFUL, LILY.]
[ audio ]
Date: 2011-11-04 11:55 pm (UTC)Sssorry. Okay, yeah, but, I really don't wanna talk about it. So, uh, let it go?
[Audio]
Date: 2011-11-05 12:05 am (UTC)Not until I am aware of what is wrong so that I may attempt to fix it.
[ audio ]
Date: 2011-11-05 12:09 am (UTC)Come to my room?
[Audio]
Date: 2011-11-05 12:11 am (UTC)Very well, I will be there soon.
[He's already on his way!]
[ audio ]
Date: 2011-11-05 12:16 am (UTC)Great.
[Here is where Lily cleans her room. Obsessively. Anything she can't find a place for (mostly books) she hides in the closet. Don't want Equius to think she lives in a mess like that (though she does).]
[Audio] -> [Commentlog?]
Date: 2011-11-05 07:06 pm (UTC)Of course! Anyone can read the journals. Even people who have no business snooping around other people's private lives. Finally, Equius reaches her room! Knock. KNOCK. KNOCK. LILY, KNOCK.]
Lily, are you in there.
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-05 07:21 pm (UTC)Ugh. Lily hesitantly opens the door and looks past Equius to the hallway. No creepy-crawlies? No pumpkins? No big bads? Good. She's still safe in her room. For now.]
Uh, hey!
[Lily steps back to let him inside. The cleanliness of her room is really suspicious. Just don't look under the bed.]
Uh, thanks for coming?
[Commentlog]
Date: 2011-11-05 07:32 pm (UTC)[He takes a few steps forward, stopping when he's just inside her room.]
Well, it is not as if I'm simply dropping by to visit. You wanted to tell me something?
[As in. Equius wants you to tell him something.]
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-05 07:53 pm (UTC)My blood's always gonna be red, isn't it.
[Good start, I guess.]
And part of you is always gonna resent that, isn't it.
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-05 08:53 pm (UTC)That is why? Lily, not everyone can be flawless. I do not resent you for your blood. Yes, there is a stigma in my culture regarding reds and blues mixing but-... That is what makes it so disgracefully magnificent...
[He tried to filter out some of the creepiness in his voice, but hushing his voice only made it sound more awkward. It didn't help that small beads of sweat were gathering on his skin.]
I-In fact- I-... I quite like your ungracefully decadent veins...
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-05 09:26 pm (UTC)Tears that were once upset turn to tears that are overjoyed.]
Wwwow, that's... That's awesome, Equius. Haha, all that distress for nothing. Should have just asked...
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-05 09:30 pm (UTC)Really? You are not put off by this?
[He's almost disappointed that she isn't commanding him to stop or something.]
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-05 09:48 pm (UTC)[Uhh, is that a troll thing? Do trolls not have friends? Is she really supposed to be angry? What even is going on? Why is Equius sweating? Why is the sky blue? What exactly is gravity? All these questions are giving her a headache.]
Are you alright?
[commentlog]
Date: 2011-11-05 10:31 pm (UTC)[Oh god, does he want people to know now? Just for the thrill of it?]
Y-Yes I am fine.
[SWEAT SWEAT. NERVOUS GRIN.]
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-05 10:58 pm (UTC)Also, hey, Equius, there isn't a... a blood color thing here. So nobody cares if you talk to people that aren't blue, you know?
[Pause.]
You are not fine.
[commentlog]
Date: 2011-11-05 11:36 pm (UTC)[Because Equius has been as polite as he can POSSIBLY BE. AURRGH.]
I really am fine. This is genuine. I simply had not expected things to go over so smoothly.
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-06 12:37 am (UTC)[God, this whole fiasco was so stupid. There was never anything to worry about. Leave it to Lily to jump to conclusions.]
I'm really glad.
[ commentlog ]
Date: 2011-11-06 06:14 am (UTC)[Equius smiles, genuinely.]
