You've reached Lust. I'm not available at the moment, please leave a message.
If it's important enough, I'll get back to you.
If it's important enough, I'll get back to you.
no subject
[For anyone, normal or not. Nothing that could think was meant to be alone.]
Is it? I am fond of tea. I always liked it. I know we didn't have to eat and drink before, but I've always liked the taste of things.
no subject
[Because between the three of them, it was more than enough proof that Dante had always been lying.
And Lust was from his world. They may have been enemies back there, but they weren't now. He's never been good at figuring out relationships. If this is friendship, if it's something else entirely.
Whatever it is, he likes it.]
It's the same for me. I've tried just about everything once. Just so I can say I have.
no subject
[She has to admit, if three of them were to be in this place together, she's glad it's the three of them. Whatever was between Greed and the rest of them at home was gone here. And she'd never had anything against him personally.
Coming to know him in this place, she's found she quite likes him.]
I want to try things. I've been thinking about that recently. All those things I could never do or have before.
no subject
[He taps his chin thoughtfully.]
I haven't explored past Goldenrod. I'm sure there's plenty to do in this region that I don't know about. Besides that, there's Kanto to explore as well.
It'll be something, at least until we've seen it all.
no subject
[Even if often their conversations are heavy and sorrowful. Their lives have been the same.]
I think it's one of the reasons I like things so much. I've never had anything of my own before. Even my lovers were chosen for me no matter if I wanted them or not. I want to see what this world has to offer.
no subject
[This might be the first genuinely happy conversation the two of them have had. Greed is terrible at expressing emotions that aren't distinctively negative, but he is grateful. And he's trying.]
Whatever we do in this world is something we choose for ourselves.
no subject
What do you want to do in this world? One thing you'd like to do, that you haven't ever done before?
no subject
I want to travel. I want to see the world.
I could have done that. I should have done that. It's not like they would have minded. They were grateful I'd broken them out of their cages at all.
no subject
[Lust frowns, thoughtfully.]
There's no point in 'should haves'. Who can say what anyone should have done? We did what we did, and here we are. It's time to think of the present and the future, not the past. The past is painful, but the future doesn't have to be.
no subject
I think I'd like to travel on foot just so I have more time to look at it all.
[Maybe so.
But he'd gotten them all killed. They had been so willing to die for him, even though he'd never asked for that kind of loyalty. Even though he didn't think he deserved it.
"Don't let our deaths have been in vain" Dorochet had said.]
Nothing we can do would change the past. We can only move forward.
no subject
[And she can see it, too, Greed wandering the regions and seeing all there was to be seen. Meeting people, partaking of everything that was offered. She thinks it would be a good life for him.]
As best we can. But we don't have to do it alone. You'll write to me, won't you, on your travels?
no subject
Maybe you should come with me.
no subject
[Lust laughs, almost surprising herself. It's honest and real and she's relatively certain this is what it is to be happy.]
I can't imagine you ever really on your own. Not for more than a day, at most. You're like a magnet for people.
no subject
[Is this what it means to be human? To be able to make these grand, ridiculous plans? A part of him wants to do it. To really, truly see the world for everything it is. He'd been to fixated on... on whatever it was, to ever truly embrace wanderlust before now.]
Think about it. It would be nice to have a familiar face along the way.
no subject
[She rests her chin on her hand, smiling.]
Shoes can be bought.
no subject
[And out of trouble.]
Cost shouldn't be much of an issue. Unless we want to take the train to Kanto, of course. But it might be easier to head back to New Bark Town. By then, Cedric should be fully evolved.
no subject
[But it does leave her bored. She can't bring herself to care very much about battling and badges and gathering as many Pokemon as she could. It's just something to do sometimes.
Her own words come back to her. There's a great deal of world to see. She's been clinging to Envy because he's familiar and she knows he'll look after her, but she is perfectly capable of looking after herself.]
But I do have money saved up. I'll leave the travel plans to you, I've always hated puzzling that sort of thing out.
no subject
[Battling passes the time, and Greed does enjoy gathering up Pokemon. He certainly has enough now that it feels strangely meaningful, even if he does have misgivings about leaving some of them inside a computer.]
My plans tend to be pretty loose. I hope you don't mind.
no subject
[It's a bit exciting, really. She laughs.]
I think the most 'plans' I've made since coming here don't extend beyond the next day. Maybe it's silly, but I take some pleasure in having no rigid boundaries to confine my time.
no subject
[They should start soon. They have plenty of time now, but he's not entirely sure he wants to go backpacking around Kanto in winter.
Still, even if it came to that, it wouldn't be so bad. Before the strange day last month, he couldn't remember the last time he'd seen snow.]
I prefer living without boundaries.
[...which explains a whole lot.]
no subject
[It doesn't matter where they go. It will be something new, and offer them new opportunities. She thought that was a worthy goal to pursue. General, and attainable.
It's almost surreal. She laughs again, and there's a teasing note in her voice when she speaks again.]
And to think...on my way over, I couldn't even decide if this was a date or not. Here we are planning on running away together.
no subject
[Eventually, he'll find his way back to Goldenrod, because Goldenrod is his home. But he has to see the rest of the world. Who knows how long he'll be here.
It could be years like Envy. Or he could be gone tomorrow, never remembering he'd been here at all.
He'll live like he always has. Completely in the moment.]
We'll head as far as we can that way. And then we'll turn around, to New Bark. The ferry to Kanto docks there, I remember being told about it when I first arrived.
[His expression brightens.]
Running away together is certainly a step up from a date, isn't it?
no subject
[Simple as that. They don't need any more detailed a plan than that. She laughs again, throwing her head back.]
One or two. Why do anything halfway, hmm? As long as you don't expect singular devotion. [She can't imagine he does, even if there is anything beyond playful flirting. She almost hopes there is. If for no other reason than Greed has a way of making her feel good about herself.]
no subject
[He smirks, resting his head in his hands.]
Nah. Can't see myself ever expecting something like that. I like being open to opportunities, personally.
But I am interested in you right now.
no subject
[As he said, she'd prefer to be open to opportunities. She had a chance to take them, for once.]
But I have to admit the interest is mutual. I've thought about you, in that capacity. As a lover, I mean.
