This has been a welcome change... more often than not the City sees fit to off us, not bring us back to life. Not that it makes a big difference here, really.

I do appreciate the irony, though. Easter and all.

I will admit... It'd be nice if this didn't end at midnight.

Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Don't you think I know that already?

[deathbutler.livejournal.com]

Your point~

[cold_dry_pieces]

Do you think I'd pass up an opportunity to tease you about it?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Ah.

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

Fuck no. You think I'd like you anywhere near this much if you did?

[cold_dry_pieces]

See? It's a vicious cycle.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind my asking- how is it different?

I'm glad it's a welcome curse- sometimes those are the hardest, though, come midnight.

[cold_dry_pieces]

For the past year, if I stopped breathing, I'd just... stop breathing. I don't, normally, because it's kind of unsettling, but I don't really need to. And I've got a heartbeat, which is something you don't really notice until you lose it.

I'd rather not go back to normal, but I'm used to it by now. So I'm not really concerned.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

But other than the heartbeat, did you really find it that different? What is it that makes having a stopped heart so different, in an of itself?

Yes, I suppose you've been dealing with it for some time now. At least you get a day off.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I'm warmer to the touch, which I guess affects others more than me. And... you can feel your heartbeat, your pulse, most of the time... without really trying, even. I'm aware that it's not there, though like I said... I'm accustomed to it. And I haven't been really hungry in ages, either. At first you want to eat out of habit, mistake that for hunger, but it isn't really the same... Hard to explain if you haven't experienced it, though.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

I guess so. That makes sense. That must feel weird, being hungry after so long.

Other than this little detour, how've things been, Rudy?

[suicideslowly]

I don't think I'd ever be able to make it through a day like this without wanting to trade the very next for that life back.

[dreamsofnoah]

That's what I like about this curse. So~ ironic.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Yeah, mostly because I wasn't aware of how different things normally are.

I've been pretty good. Same old, same old. How's by you?

[cold_dry_pieces]

I'll admit, the idea's been on my mind and this does nothing to lessen the temptation. I'm not sure what I'd be willing to part with, though.

You know I've been here for a year, now? A little more, actually.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I rarely appreciate the City's sense of humor, but that is kind of funny.

1/2

[suicideslowly]

The standard fare seems to be memories for a life, which at once seems equitable in that I don't know what else could ever pay for a life, yet completely unfair at the same time. I had things I was more than willing to forget, though, and so I suppose that made the deal easier for me.

[suicideslowly]

A year... really. That's... well, I don't know if impressive is quite the word to use for it, but it's the best that I can think of at the moment. Has it begun to feel like home?

[dreamsofnoah]

And the silly thing is a lot of people don't even seem to notice.

Sigh, and I'm breaking hiatus for you. The muse is too strong this entry.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Wait, so, you're alive again?

Easter?

1/2

[cold_dry_pieces]

Yeah, that's what I'd heard. I'm not sure I'm willing to give my memories up, though. For better or worse, I'm the sum of my experience.

[cold_dry_pieces]

...It's felt like home for quite a while, honestly. Though it's a little weird to say it.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Well, I expect a lot of people aren't familiar with the story.

zomgz~ o hai there.

[cold_dry_pieces]

For today, at least.

Easter's a holiday in my own world, involving a resurrection story... I'm assuming that's why the deities did this.

[dreamsofnoah]

Hmm, I don't know. Maybe I should ask.
