Emerald

You find yourself in a dark space. The pale not-a-Persona is sitting cross-legged on a . . . ledge? a little above head-height, lit with what appears to be their own light, because you sure can't make out anything that it's actually sitting on.

Pinned on the ground in front of you is a stuffed manikin, white and squishy and doll-jointed, with a blank face and obvious stitching.. There are metal pins stuck through it, jamming it against the ground, in five places—three in the head, one in the chest, and one in the hand. A little loop of string is tied to each, with room for a label.

"The heart, the mind, the mouth, the eyes, and the limbs. I'll give you the labels, and you tell me what goes where, and how to put a person together the right way."

Gonna say, I'm a little at a loss.

Yes, it's a little...odd.

How to put together a person...?

Right . . . Well, let's try.

What about getting rid of "wet leaves stuck to glass" and "humorously shaped root vegetables"? Those don't seem like they belong in a person.

I agree regarding the wet leaves. That seems strange.

We have two cards with fear in them, so we could write something about courage on the blank one. Even if we don't use both, it might be good to have.

That's a good idea.

So, do we try to be poetic, or do we just say courage?
ofmyth: (When you have to start again)

Courage is good to have, as well as fear. I also like the drawing half-finished. It speaks of progress and a journey.

Are we in the mood to be poetic?

What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away ?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope, a heavy sway ?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.

You have the eye of an artist, huh? I like it, too.

Will it fit on the card? I like it.
zen_master: (we're survivors.)

[personal profile] zen_master 2014-11-07 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I have a shorter one. But we'll still have to write small for it.

It isn't mine, just what I picked up.

What of the others? A book with no cover or a collection of vegetables.

Re: Discussion

It's still good.

That's why I picked it up.
