On watching the other muses flail

[stranger_to_the_rain]

And people say I'm the eccentric one in the family.

No, no. That's a lie. No. They say I'm crazy. But we both know better, don't we?





Hmmm?

There's irony to it, isn't there? a Fish Malk who's actually a Malk?

I think so.


There is one thing I'd like to know, though. What exactly is a rockstar puppy? Why does Diana have one? And is it going to eat her face?

All right, so that was three things I wanted to know. Who's keeping score?

[i_o_u]

Somebody always is. [Keeping score, that is.]

Free bit of advice, little fish: always make certain it's you.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

How do I know if I'm really me?

[i_o_u]

Well, there's your first problem. Better get over that one quick: it's nothing compared to the last one.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

Are you really pointing out my problems?



You don't know the truth about reality.

[i_o_u]

I know about people. That's more than enough.

Do you know why they call you crazy?

[stranger_to_the_rain]

Of course.

But who ever said I was "people?"

[i_o_u]

Who ever said I was? I think you're missing the point.

[indiscreet]

Oh, so you really are mad. That does explain a great deal.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

Silly girl.

[indiscreet]

[ pouting a bit ]

You said that before.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

Do you think it's changed?





I don't.

[indiscreet]

[ She barely catches herself before she rolls her eyes. Why must elders be so frustrating? Or, more accurately, why does this one have to be? ]

It's not as though you've changed much either. Saying strange things with no explanation -- it's bound to leave a young woman like myself feeling rather left out.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

I could make you mad too. If that would help.

[hackreality]

You know, I never quite understood what fish have anything to do with Clan Malkavian.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

We like them. They're slippery.

[hackreality]

Ah. Apt metaphor, really, now that I think about it!

...but then, are "fishmalks" not usually Malkavians? I think some of the terminology is a bit over my head.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

No, they're usually just pretending. They don't understand the truth about fish.

[hackreality]

Then again, most people don't understand the truth about anything.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

Too true.

Ee! Malkie! ^_^

[nolongerhollow]

What is a fish Malk? It sounds like something one gives to one's cat.

One of two! Yay Malks!

[stranger_to_the_rain]

Oh, cats are rarely a threat.

Doggies are a problem, however. Specifically, moon puppies.




I still don't know what a rockstar puppy is, though.

[nolongerhollow]

Oh yes. They are indeed a problem, especially on their first moon. I've only ever gotten along with one of them.

Hm. You know, neither do I!

[stranger_to_the_rain]

It's an odd expression, isn't it?

[nolongerhollow]

It is. I was once accused of having rockstar hair. I do not imagine however that the two are related.

[stranger_to_the_rain]

I can't say. That's more my sister's area of expertise.





How many winters?
