#p.18

The first cited examples include-- a mall at 4 am, a school hallway in the summer. Areas normally crowded and lively found empty, lonely, quiet. An aura creeps up around these spaces that makes them feel unreal. These states of being... or maybe, states between being. Is there a state between being?

For example.. is there a state between sleep and wake?

What state is he in now?

💕 which muse falls in love too easily

,,,, Considering she’s the only one who’s actually fallen,,,, more than once,,,

In love, though? Umm,, She does love, but putting it like that makes it sound more intense-- What she feels is just fondness, you know? Maybe a bit of infatuation from time to time, but in love, that’s a bit much...

🍕 which muse is a terrible cook

Really, the better question is who’s a decent cook. The answer to that, 18~ And probably 56~ Nine maybe learned a thing or two as well, actually, so especially for his age, he gets points there. Maybe 53 has...? Everybody else--

Not to say that they’d all be terrible if they tried, but most just simply haven’t learned much of anything about it. From what they told me so far, at least.

💑 who would make the best couple of two of your muses together

Heh... Maybe turning more toward him, moving the other a bit more to his chest, he’ll bring his other arm up around too. His hold will fall a bit softer~

Incase you’ve ever wondered it, he bleeds red.

In case you’ve ever wondered-- It’s okay, he wonders too. As many times as he’s witnessed it, the math just doesn’t add up in his mind.

Not sure why. It’s a pretty simple equation, right? But as the worn blade presses into the meat of his palm, this shade of red is never quite the color he expects to see.

Black. Or Green. Or flecks of yellow, almost shaped like numbers.  Even grey, sometimes. 

It’s never surprising, but it’s never wholly understood, either.  None of this routine really is, though.

... But it just keeps happening. As if his blood is somehow laden with answers to the questions that never leave his mind. Unconsciously as it all is.

Already, he doesn’t remember how the knife got back into his hand, nor where it’s hidden away once he’s done; under the bed, in the drawer, rest on the blade of the unused ceiling fan. All of these could be as accurate as his guess toward the color of blood.

This one is cleaned up just the same, after a few minutes of watching it drip and coat his palms. The gross, sticky sensation once again delighting a flickering mind before he remembers -- And goes to wash it off. His hand quivers under the harsh sting of hot water, but doesn’t pull away, though something in his throat becomes full rather quickly.

do the exact opposite of whatever you tell me to for 2 days

“Whoa-! That’s all a musician can ask for~!

“Y’know, in my opinion, music is one of the best hobbies you can have~ Learning can be a pretty bumpy road though -- I hope I can encourage you to stick with it! Being able to create music is a pretty magical feeling, and finally mastering a hard piece is just the best! Aha~ I shouldn’t trail off too much, but if you really wanna learn, just remember to keep practicing even when it gets tough! Ah, be super nice to yourself during those times too~ It’ll definitely pay off in the long run!
