66 is a rite of passage

[written] January 11

[there's no year. What purpose did years have in a place that mixed and matched them at will? But the date was important. Somehow it seemed more so, with the journals empty. Like starting over, though her old journal sat next to her on the table, a reminder.

Pencil still in hand, she switches to speaking, musing as much to herself as to the castle at large]

Sometimes it feels like everything is made up of chapters in a book. They're all connected, but each one is something...new.

I've been here two years now, today. I'm still not sure if it feels like a long time or barely a breath...and now the castle seems to want a fresh start.

[she smiles, and it's evident in her voice as she starts to doodle a little twig man in the margin...her first sketch in the new book] I wonder how this chapter will go?

Happy two years. And hey, it could have been worse. At least the place hasn't blown up.

[theoniongirl]

[she laughed] No, I think you all covered that before I showed up.

[onlyanapple]

It could have happened again.

Anyway, are you planning anything special?

[theoniongirl]

I'm still in the middle of celebrating being animate again. I'm not sure I'm up for special plans.

[onlyanapple]

Oh pft, everyone is up for special plans.

[theoniongirl]

[color her amused] Alright, then. What kind of special plans am I supposed to be planning?

[onlyanapple]

I don't know, whatever you do the celebrate. Draw or whatever.

[theoniongirl]

[a laugh] I'll have an extra large mug of coffee. How's that?

[onlyanapple]

I think I can make that work.

[theoniongirl]

[have a quick laugh] I might be a bit worried.

...You seem to have survived the holidays alright.

[onlyanapple]

I survive everything, you should know that by now, Doodle Girl.

[theoniongirl]

I should hope so. I'd be very disappointed if that changed.

[onlyanapple]

Nah, too much a creature of habit to change that now.
