I know what you are afraid of, Miss Shady. It's so simple. All I have to do is look at the others you have brought into your head space. You are afraid of becoming those of us you "play".

Would your reaction to my toxin be just as lethal as your so called muses? I do not believe so. For all you fear of being like us, you are not. You are weak, more afraid of people than you are of hurting them. They hurt you, don't they?

I could prescribe something for that. Why don't you step into my office and discuss it.

Do not be so "cree-pet", Lord Crow! You have no right to taunt Lady Shady. [ Plucky goddess standing ready to pull your stuffing out. ]

[fearkink]

Are you threatening me, Miss--? [he pauses in a way that clearly indicates he's waiting for a name]

[fotlenke]

[ So sorry, Crane, but you ain't gettin' a name from this dame! ] Ha! Indeed, I threaten you, for you insult my Lady Mun's dear friend, and I will not have my Lady Mun's dear friend insulted so abominably.

[fearkink]

[ah well, he can deal with this] And what is the stick in your threat? [does he sound intrigued, because he is]

[fotlenke]

[ She gives him a narrowed look and raises her hands in front of her, then shakes them, blue magic like a flame lighting up at her palms. ]

Is this stick to your liking?

[fearkink]

[oh, wonderful. The look of glee on his face is just barely restrained. He is starting to fear you]

Yes, that would do nicely.

[fotlenke]

[ And she's advancing across the distance between them, her magic growing as the blue flames enlarge. ] Are you mad, Lord Crow?

[staticblood]

Why would she need medicine for that? Not like it'll stop the people who are hurting her.

[fearkink]

No, nothing can stop that. Well, unless the people no longer exist. But it could help her ignore it.

[staticblood]

So what you're suggesting is for her to continue to suffer but simply allow her mind to ignore the pain?

[fearkink]

It is a standard treatment.

[staticblood]

[Something Shiki did, up until his father took advantage of his body completely.]

Treatment? That's the most useless treatment I've ever heard. It is of no use in actually helping your mundane.

[fearkink]

I am a trained psychiatric professional. Perhaps you need some treatment, too.

[unionjackoff]

[forgive him for staring for a moment... he has some VERY ANGRY FEELS regarding an old Scarecrow he played with]

I wouldn't recommend anyone going into your office.

[fearkink]

I see my reputation proceeds me. And have we met before?

[unionjackoff]

Not us, though I know enough about you.

[fearkink]

And what do you know about me?

[unionjackoff]

I know that you do not value anyone's life but your own, and other people are merely pawns for your experiments.

[fearkink]

Pawns, no. They are more like rats. Rats move and think, pawns have to be ordered. [no shame in admitting that]

[eternally]

It's not about fear. She's playing you because she finds it... fun.

[fearkink]

[finds it fun, and people call him crazy] What is the fun of pretending to be someone you are not?

[eternally]

Haven't you ever tried it? Didn't you play cops-and-robbers or something as a kid?

[fearkink]

I played the scarecrow who got stuck on the stick in the cornfield overnight. [quite tragic] But it wasn't really play, was it?

[eternally]

[ Frowning. ] No, kids games should be fun.

For everyone.

[fearkink]

The world isn't sunshine and marigolds.
