Awesome. 

As if the Goodman family dynamic wasn't effed-up enough, you've got to throw in mythology.

Vikings and stuff?

How? You don't think being, like, the goddess of pianos is gonna make your life easier?

[clearasil]

I wish I was the goddess of pianos.

All I've got now is dark magic and stuff. Like, taking the "daughter of air" thing super seriously.

[morethanmemory]

You aren't?

Hey, you're the one who said it. Should've picked your words a little better, maybe. What qualifies as ~dark~?

[clearasil]

Dark as in shadows, stupid. She wants me to be - [ here, Natalie huffs. ] - a daughter of Hecate. Night, moon, ghosts, shadows, Mist, all that.

So, not the goddess of pianos.

[morethanmemory]

You said "dark magic", don't call me stupid. How do I know you're not like a bad witch or something, now?

...HA. Double, double, toil and trouble. Nice.

Well, I got the ghost part covered for you.

[clearasil]

Okay, fine. I take back the "stupid" for now since you have the ghost part covered.

But I'm just saying that I'm on the good side, I'm supposed to just handle illusions and stuff. And Mist. Something about mists.

[morethanmemory]

Sounds mistical.

Could be cool. Why would that be fucked up? Mom would be an awesome witch.

[clearasil]

[ Natalie shrugs, then frowns. ]

Because she won't be my mom anymore, not in this universe. She'll just be yours.

[morethanmemory]

...You keep talking about this like it's a bad thing.

[clearasil]

I'm allowed to have a comfort zone, aren't I? Because whatever pile of shit I might fall into is a completely different brand. Y'know, compared to the kind I'm familiar with.

[morethanmemory]

Oooh, a devil you don't know. Kind of appropriate, you being all witchgoddessy now. Aren't you going to have to consort with that type?

[clearasil]

[ Scoff. ] Yeah. That'll be fun, being expected to be some kind of Hercules-type figure.

[morethanmemory]

Zero to hero, Nat! Geez, you could complain about anything.

[clearasil]

It's more than just heroics and magic stuff. It's, like, sworn enemies and monsters chasing me through city streets and bloodshed.

[morethanmemory]

And? Go fight some monsters and kick someone's ass. Maybe someone will even write a song about it for you.

[clearasil]

Why are you so chipper about this?

[morethanmemory]

What was that thing you said, a bit ago? "She'll just be your mom"?

[clearasil]

But you're not here. Not really.

[morethanmemory]

I'm anywhere I want to be.

Anyway, doesn't make it any less of a cushy thought.
