audio & action @L.Mills forward dated to April 8th

[thestoriesarereal]

[The audio turns on to the sound of silence for the first few seconds before Lucy asks her question.]

If you could have one wish, what would you wish for? Not like...money or anything. Not for powers, but what would you really wish for?

[Because it's her birthday, and she wasn't really in the mood to celebrate. Of course, she'll wish for her family to be okay, for them to remember and come here so they could meet Victor. But...would that be a waste of a wish? Sure, wishes were powerful, but she was in another world, and she didn't think they would be strong enough to pull her family from one realm to the next...

Or, maybe she's just over thinking things. Maybe she just wants to talk and not think about her birthday.]


[ooc: Lucy's birthday is on April 8th, so here's her birthday post! She won't say it's her birthday, not yet anyway. Either way, this post can double as action too. So have fun!]

Sorry, no I meant, it's something I don't like talking about.

I haven't been to all the shops yet, but only the bookstore and the library.

[apt666]

Ah. Yes.

The most important places, I think. An avid reader, I assume?

[thestoriesarereal]

They are important places...it's something that runs in the family.

Mmhmm, and my Dad he's...an author. [That's one way to go about it.]

[apt666]

Is he? Do you aspire to be like him?

[thestoriesarereal]

I aspire to be the person he was--is. [Henry..isn't gone forever. Right? Maybe he'll come back..maybe he didn't mean to leave.] But I don't know if I want to write like him.

[apt666]

Ah. I would say is. My understanding is returning home is the goal. So you'll see him again. [ Except him. But that's his own fault. So... ] Good. Making your own way is good.

[thestoriesarereal]

Returning home...would be ideal, but I like it here too..I'd want my family to come here.

[apt666]

Is this place better than your home?

[thestoriesarereal]

Yes...and no. It's cooler than Hyperion Heights, but it's not like the Enchanted Realm where I was born.

[apt666]

Enchanted Realm? Like - in stories?

[thestoriesarereal]

Yeah, like that! Though, there are a few. There's one where my great-grandparents lived, and one where my father met my mother, Cinderella.

[apt666]

Ah.

[ He's almost as old as time itself, and this is a new one to him. Curious! ]

Interesting! They aren't likely real where I am from.

[thestoriesarereal]

In a lot of realms Cinderella, Snow White, Prince Charming, they're just stories...but all stories have a hint of truth to them, and were inspired by actual people.

[apt666]

That's true. Most stories do have some roots in truth, sometimes even just a little.
