Tell me, are you planning on finishing this application and actually submitting it? Because that will require you stop watching television and do the work entailed. You're nearly done, and you know how to do the rest. If you are going to play me, stop procrastinating, and start working on your icons. If not...

[A SIGH]

You know where I'd prefer to be right now.

[Here, have a pack of wolves with rat-like features that speak with a human voice from somewhere.]

My mun is doing the same thing, though she is at least reading my canon, if not the parts with me. The human Johanna is remarkable, true, but how could any not want to relive the gunpowder and the experiments?

[bellabellabella]

[Edward's eyebrow goes up.]

Unless I knew the situation, it would be difficult to tell. Even then. Not everyone is predictable.

[curiousasadog]

[A couple heads drooping, all with twitching ears.] Don't I know it. It's why I prefer machinery. Even the technology from the stars is easier to understand than people.

[bellabellabella]

To the contrary, I find most people are very easy to understand. Not quite all, but... For the most part, people are simple.

Though, if you don't mind the question, may I ask what you are?

[curiousasadog]

Do you? Maybe you would. But I am no broodkenner and humans are even more of a mystery than ordinary people. Maybe it's easier for humans to understand each other. As you can get close.

What am I? I am Tines, as you humans call our kind. [Doggy grins all around and nodding heads.] Only five right now, but I am considering gaining a sixth.

[bellabellabella]

[Alla deese thoughts are all kindsa fractured, it's fascinating but also kinda headachy.]

... all of you working as one?

[curiousasadog]

[Scrup knows that feeling; Tines get it whenever packs get too close. Never seen that "I can't keep track of my thoughts because of yours" look on a human before.]

Exactly! [More eagerly nodding heads.] I wouldn't be a person without this many.

[bellabellabella]

[It's one of the many side effects of permanent mind reading]

Interesting.

I can't say I've ever encountered someone like you before.

[Not sure if that should be plural or not, but. Well luckily for 'you' there isn't a difference.]

[curiousasadog]

Until a few years ago, none of my kind had ever encountered any creatures like you. And now we live with humans, and perhaps in my lifetime we'll visit the stars!

[purebred]

[Hey remember that dog you talked to the other day? She's not a dog anymore.]

Where is that?

[bellabellabella]

[YES, HE CAN.

HUH.]

There's someone I need to protect as well.

[purebred]

Is it a baby?

[Babies need so much protecting, after all.]

darn accounts are impossible to keep straight sometimes sob

[bellabellabella]

No.

It's a girl. A normal, mortal girl.

haha i thought he was using vampire magic on me for a second

[purebred]

Oh. I think I understand.

[He must be the Jim Dear to that mortal girl's Darling.]

NO THAT'S MY OTHER EDWARD ACCOUNT. ... BACK FROM WHEN HE ATE PEOPLE.

[bellabellabella]

Yes, I suppose it's something like that.

omnomnom

[purebred]

You must return home to her. She'll be waiting for you.

nom nom nom

[bellabellabella]

I wish I could.

can't resist

[seeyounextfall]

It almost sounds like you're-I don't know, scolding her for not doing her homework. [No, it almost sounds as if he wants to be at that place. She's too afraid to ask where he actually wants to be.]

sdf;kj

[bellabellabella]

[He smiles a little, crookedly.]

I thought I'd die before I had to deal with limbo.

[Well actually he thought he was going to have to deal with hell buuut]

oh like you're surprised to see her/me

[seeyounextfall]

[Her heart skips a beat. Just. Staring uncomprehendingly at his breathtaking beauty. Edward and die. Only to be used in a sentence together if the words "can't ever" are between them.]

actually I kind of am

[bellabellabella]

[Staring just a little worriedly as she just stares at him.]

Bella?

what that's silly

[seeyounextfall]

[His velvet voice gets her attention. And seeing that she has his attention causes her to duck her head. Stupid, stupid...]

It's this place. [The reason for the limbo. Right?]

you're always busy!

[bellabellabella]

That...?

[Specifics honey he can't read your mind]

I...can't contest that and I am surprised what is this truth

[seeyounextfall]

[Where does he get the patience to deal with her inadequacy?]

The possibilities are endless here. At least, that's what my mun seems to think.

there see

[bellabellabella]

The possibilities are endless, but there's also no hope of any progression. I'm not sure I care for the trade-off.

no I don't wanna turn off the lights

[seeyounextfall]

So you'd rather go to that place? [She'd rather stay here and never progress, so long as he was here. It was kind of like immortality.]

are you implying you see best in the dark

[bellabellabella]

What I'd rather do is know what I am going to do. Not knowing my own destiny this way... it frustrates me.

[He smiles a little, wryly.]

Alice may have spoiled me. All the same, a good part of what she normally sees is minutiae. This is anything but.

no the opposite I don't want to see so take away the light

[seeyounextfall]

May. [Rolls eyes so hard, it hurts.] Most people never know any part of their destinies. And somehow we get by just fine.

Who knows, without me around, maybe your luck will improve. [This is the worst joke. She's just unsure how to comfort him. Because, yeah, it is kind of a big deal.]

Nooooo you must face the truuuuuth

[bellabellabella]

But don't most people at least know in general where they're going?

[He kind of smolders at her, as he does.]

Never. Never, ever.
