We're all stories. Tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine.

(Preferably over tea.)

Don't forget to start with "Once upon a time..."

Fairy tales?

[foxtrots]

yeah, the ones that always end with "happily ever after".

but not if you're the witch or the monster.

[royalpassport]

In my experience, the 'happily ever after' never happens, anyway.

[ FOR ANYONE, really. ]

But you're right. One person's happy ending is another's worst nightmare.

[foxtrots]

that's not good either. i want mine.

[royalpassport]

So, are you the witch, or the monster?

[foxtrots]

well

i can't work magic.

[ Interesting... ]

What would be your happily ever after?

[ To be left alone and undisturbed by 'heroes' out to slay a beast? Or to, like, devour the souls of the innocent? Most 'monsters' he's come across tend to lean more to the former than the latter, but hey. He's also lived in places with bandersnatches, ogres, wraiths, and other creatures that won't hesitate to do harm. ]

getting to marry the witch and go on an eating tour of the world!

[his devouring days are over, unless you're counting steaks and ramen. but there are always those heroes who can let bygones be bygones. minsu can't really find it in himself to blame them.]
