I do not need or care for better treatment from you.
[ famine will never be more annoying than the paparazzi. ]
The strong can exploit the weak, as much as they can help them. Not every circumstance will end in some perfect scenario, but people can learn and they can evolve. Everyone has potential. One or three or five bad turns doesn't end a story.
You have to wake up from dreams in order to live. Reality... doesn't change simply because you dream.
Even if one person who is helped still stumbles and falls, another person who is helped can spread their wings and fly. I'd like to take that chance, every time.
I disagree. My hope does not mean I'm unaware of my predicament. I know I was brought here to die, but you are here because you don't want us to die, aren't you?
Are we in a situation that we can expect more from you three, Famine? Is there more than casting your rituals and veils and asking for items that won't raise suspicions?
[ it's curiosity more than anything else. she doesn't expect a real answer. ]
[ she smiles. she thinks there's a certain kindness in what they're trying to say, but it's also a little funny to her, considering the betrayal she experienced before coming here. ]
There is much that I have experienced that I do not care for. Much of my privacy has been taken from me for choices I have made, but the benefits and gains for what I dream of achieving outweighs any hurts I endure.

... as long as your head isn't empty, aside from being full of dreams.

Will you be talking in metaphors the entire time.
no subject
I could talk in song instead.
no subject
I suppose I haven't heard a song in some time.
All the same, this sense of optimism feels misplaced in a situation where you've been summoned only to be sacrificed.
no subject
That's something to be hopeful about.
no subject
Used to low standards?
no subject
I am used to a great many things, but that doesn't mean I tolerate them all.

I do wish that you all would expect more than simply accepting 'you don't want us to die'.

[ this conversation is going in circles. though at least famine realizes that and pauses, weighing their words as they cross their arms ]
I find your willingness to give us the benefit of the doubt off-putting. Don't get that goodwill taken advantage of.
[ there we go ]
no subject
Thank you for your wish. I will carry it with me.
[ it's something she can grant, at least. ]
no subject
Has anyone ever suggested to you that you're too nice?

The sun may scorch me, but I will not abandon it.
no subject
And what is it that you seek to achieve, for it to mean so much to you that you would abandon your personal peace for it?

[ that's polite. but also famine pauses, curious ]
Is your anonymity here refreshing to you then?
