ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND

It's commendable how the Castle has held back from succumbing to the spiral's boundless perfection for so long. But no more.

It begins with thousands upon thousands of coils appearing on the walls and on the floors, so lucid and fluid that one might think they're moving, slowly winding and drawing you further into its center. This is it, the very essence of beauty. The Castle, ever eager to please, only wants you to rejoice in the helical glory: the whirlpools in your bathtub, the curling pattern on your bedsheets and on the sofas, the whorl of your fingertips leaving noticeable imprints on everything you touch.

See how magnificent you are with the spiral within you.

The foolish ones with no eye for beauty, those of hearts too dull to perceive the coiled perfection may try to run. But no matter which direction you go, the way curves toward a center and the ceilings recede lower and lower as if one is running towards the inside of a snail's shell.

Outside, the tornadoes rage on.

"You should try to enjoy them." Her hand feel back to her side but didn't show signs of movement from there. At least not yet.

"You should stop obsessing over them." He's staring at her hand. Just in case.

"I'm not ob..." Well ok so she'd followed through back into town. They had been the one thing to draw her back after killing Meg. Nothing else had even come close to getting her to budge.

"But, they are here for us."

"You don't think I can tell that? That makes it worse, not better."

He shakes his head. "Just... listen to me. All of you. You can hear me, so you have to listen."

"I'm listening but I just don't understand what is wrong with them. They aren't hurting you are they?" Aside from a little madness anyway.
fearbringer: (fine‚ then!)

"Yes, as a matter of fact, they are," he snaps. "Every time I see one of those damned things, it hurts!"

"How can it hurt? What do you mean?" Now she was reaching out but this time it was to touch him checking for injuries.
fearbringer: (what did you have for lunch‚ garlic?)

"It just--" He pulls away, looking at her in confusion. "What are you doing?"
hatesgoodbyes: (human question)

"Checking for wounds, you have to be hurt if you're talking like this." What else would she be doing?
fearbringer: (my desk was locked)

[personal profile] fearbringer 2014-06-08 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm fine," he snaps. "Don't touch me."
hatesgoodbyes: (human serious)

"You don't look fine." In fact he looked really...gray.
fearbringer: (you're awfully smug)

"Well, I am, so leave me alone."
