LUCY MILTON: THE REAL WORLD IS DARWINIAN. SURVIVAL, CHAOS, POWER. LEVERAGE. clarice couldn't argue with that. not with the job she has, not with the men she works with. all of them hungry for power, looking down on those who worked just to survive. but she liked to think there was more to life than that. that there's a purpose in all the chaos that finds its way into people's lives. clarice wouldn't necessarily call herself an optimist, but hope does eat her insides most days. bittersweet, sometimes the bile that rises in her throat, sometimes the honey she swallows. oftentimes, she chokes on it. 'why do you think people are th'way that we are? probably have some good insight on that, seein' as how you are who you are,' eyes move up to meet lucy's. 'are we really all born t'just survive and then die?' @serpentd.
