#raaaaaayyyyy oh my god

@amreality said: "I'm a fan of your work, actually." conversational sentence starters. | accepting.

"Of— sorry, of my work?" Sigyn's double take - and her surprise - is utterly genuine.

Mortals don't know her - not really. If they know of her at all, it is as a minor player in someone else's story, a tale which has been told and retold so many times that it now bears almost no resemblance to how it truly played out.

They don't remember what she did, before the cave. They don't tell stories of the part she played in anything, except for the single most devastating incident of her first life. They ascribe traits that hang on the truth of her like an ill-fitting cloak, and forget those that she truly embodied. And she's learned to be content with that.

They've been given a second chance - she has been given a second chance, with her love and the imperfectly perfect family they've built. So why should she care, if the mortals misremember her now?

But still... Sometimes they surprise her. This one certainly has.

Sigyn recovers from her initial surprise - just about - and offers the girl a smile. "I hadn't presumed that any of you would be familiar with it."

I'm overly tired. Yeah, that's it.

My brother's really Sephiroth, and Eli was adopted by a Wyvern.

Me: i'm considering chopping all of my brother's hair off and giving him a real reason to go into seclusion.

Ray: because that would totally be the end of the world, yes ma'am

I'M BALD

OH GOD

THEY WERE RIGHT

2012 REALLY IS THE APOCALYPSE

nevermind that it is 2011 we can speed the calendar up a bit

Me: lmao. yet another reason i need to try and get mom to buy me a digital camera for my birthday this year. *cackle* 'please mom, i have to document his fall into madness!'

Ray: and then, Earth's version of Sephiroth arises

without the hair, of course

Me: *dies* i'd better get my katana back from him beforehand, then. it's not as long as Masamune, but it's still sharp.

Ray: better watch out, Amy

he'll be calling down a meteor soon

...uh oh

he's the cause of all the earthquakes, isn't he

it's already begun

Me: ....i had not considered this. i must get my friends and minions to safety! but first, we'll need to finish that gummi ship in the garage i've been making the Chip and Dale illusions work on. >_>

Ray: horde all your Gummi candies

build, build, build!

so that you can retreeeeeat!

Me: the cheap ass Safeway version of gummi worms work especially well, i've found. too tough to chew on, might as well use 'em for structure.

Ray: excellent, you'll be finished in no time!

Me: and then i can shove in seven- no eight cats, need to bring Oblivion- ooh, and Saix, so nine - and then i can pick up you, Robin, Gin, the rest of my minions...

Ray: and then we can all fly out into the sunset!

...but to where will we go

I don't think anyone ever gets that far

Me: hunting for real life keyblade masters? >>

Ray: sounds like a plan~

Me: and the Jalen plushie gets to steer.

Ray: and then we get horribly, horribly lost.

maps? what are those?!

Me: yes, we don't need those outdated pieces of paper....we've got mystical gps!

Ray: that we do!

oh, and world shifts.

can't forget the world shifts.

Me: well, variety is good. we'll make everyone an inflatable house that fits in a backpack that they keep with them all the time, and no problem! except for the giant dragon/heartless/hydra that's three seconds away from eating you while you're setting it up.

Ray: lol yeah

wow world shift already??

let me set up my portable house before a storm hits!

HEY THERE WYVERN DON'T TEAR UP MY INFLATABLE HOUSE

OH GOD DON'T COME AFTER ME

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Me: *dies* that. would be a problem. i'm picturing you running away with flailing arms as the wyvern gives chase. hysterical. ......i need to do that to Eli sometime.

Ray: that's exactly how it would work out, too

maybe the wyvern catches him

and carries him off to its nest

"I will raise it as if it were my own! >:|b"

Me:: *snickerdie* Eli all 'WTF how do i get DOWN from here'. or he'd make friends because he's his mother's son, and come home with it while everyone is freaking out. 'look, i made a friend! i named him Yen Sid!'

Ray: lmao he would totes do that

that would be freaking awesome

Ray would be so proud

Me: lmao. hey, he's heard about the behemoth deal. he wants to impress her with something just as cool, but hopefully not something that'll fry him.

Ray: fff

Ray is a danger to her pupils just from her past

that's... great XD

Me: >__> hey, at least the kid doesn't idolize Rak.

Ray: so true XD he'd be disowned as a student

Me: Eli: 'but....but....aunt Raaaaaayyyyy....i only wanted to see how he does things, i wasn't gonna learn any of 'em!' *cue Puppy Eyes of Doom*

Ray: Seeing how he does things is learning how to do them. /frown

Me: Eli: *scuffs shoe, pouts some more* i love you bestest of all?

Ray: /GLOWER OF DOOM

Me: Eli: *wilts, then brightens* i got you something! *digs around in his pocket and pulls out a flattened gummi bear* here!

and Eli would have to introduce his Yen Sid to THE Yen Sid...

Ray: ...that would be horrible XD

Me: i'm kinda imagining Yen Sid wondering if anyone's actually RAISING this boy, or if the refs are just letting him run wild for their own amusement.

Ray: he ought to know Ray enough by now to know that she's doing the latter C:

Me: lol. it's so much more fun! weekend sleepovers at Ray's house, full of 'do whatever you want as long as it doesn't kill the house'. since, you know, he's on a leash for his actual training.

Ray: exactly~
