canon: Corpse Bride

[eternalbridesmaid]

No.

No, I'm not speaking to you, little miss living. Go... Go breathe your air and pollute your liver, elsewhere. Preferably with someone who's willing to speak to you.

[dolphin_rant]

Oh dear... has your mundane upset you?

Would you like to talk about it?

[eternalbridesmaid]

You wouldn't understand.

[Sniffle, sniffle.]

You've probably never been dumped like a sack of chopped kidneys.

[dolphin_rant]

I'm a teacher. I'm afraid I probably won't ever have time for things like love, even if they do appeal to me.

But it doesn't mean I don't have ears.

Please, go ahead and get it off your chest, miss... [He stretches the "miss" slightly in the way one would when seeking a name.]

[eternalbridesmaid]

Emily. My name's Emily.

[The corpse sighs, brushing away a stray tear.]

It's that stupid username. She thinks it's good, even though she knows all I've ever wanted is to be a bride.

[dolphin_rant]

Emily... that's a lovely name. My name is Umino Iruka.

[He gives a polite bow, but stammers slightly at the tear.]

...it hurt you very much, didn't it? To not achieve that moment in life.

[eternalbridesmaid]

[Emily smiles faintly at the compliment, mumbling a soft thanks.]

I've never heard of a name like Umy-no Iruk-ar Am I saying it right? [Subject change? Why yes, subject change.]

[dolphin_rant]

[He chuckles softly.]

Ee-ruu-ka. Just call me Iruka. I'm sorry if I was being too serious with you. I really only wished to help.

When I see people sad it tends to sadden me as well.

[eternalbridesmaid]

No, no, it's fine. It was rather sweet of you. Nobody's been that worried about me for a very long time.

[Or ever, really.]

I just thought you'd prefer a lighter mood. Less depressing, yes?

[dolphin_rant]

There's nothing depressing about listening to someone's troubles and helping them through it, Miss Emily.

I was happy to listen.

Besides... if I were in your position...

I think I would definitely want someone to tell...

[ex_desolating506]

Woah.

What the fuck is up with your...everything?

[eternalbridesmaid]

[And now the corpse is crying. Thanks for that.]

[dembonyhips]

Feh. Humans. Who fucking needs 'em.

[eternalbridesmaid]

That's right! Who needs them and their beating hearts and blushing faces?
