Rolo's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

You fall through space breathlessly, airlessly, your heart skipping a beat. When you land, everything is black for a moment before you rise and see who is with you and where you are...

[a little surprised...]

You want that?

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"Is that impossible...?"

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

I don't know what is possible and not; it's your heart. I would like to spend more time with you...

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"You should stay forever."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

[:)]

Would you show me your things? I would like to see them.

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"...Okay..."

He steps aside from the table.

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

[doesn't try to touch anything except the picture frame. but draws back after running her finger down it very lightly.]

Thank you. Can you tell me about them?

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"Tell you about them...?"

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

Where you got them, that kind of thing... their stories.

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"Talking about this cheapens them... it could ruin them," he says. "Because they're so fragile words can damage them."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

Ah, words can hurt...

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"Yes. Even if you think something's precious words can ruin it. And I don't want to lose any of these things! I don't want to..."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

[looks at the picture again...]

It would make me happy to know whose picture was in this, but if it would hurt it, you shouldn't tell me.

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

It pets your hair again, finger joints catching at some strands. "I don't want to lose anything."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

No... who would?

Can you tell me about the lamp?

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"The lamp makes this room visible from the outside! It keeps it warm in here so I don't stop feeling it."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

Feeling what?

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"Anything that isn't cold."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

I see.

Could you take it to other places? Outside seems very cold indeed.

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"Oh, but if I took it out of here, this room would be dark and cold."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

That's not the nature of fire... it can light other things, can't it?

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"Do you have anything to light? Anyway if you want to warm up the outdoors, that's impossible."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

Why is that?

Re: WANT

[dramatispersonae]

"The outdoors is completely frozen. It's not worth it to go out there. It's just how it is."

Re: WANT

[sightunseen]

You could warm up more of the rooms in here, though...
