The Difference Between Ashes And Snow (1x1)

[SkeletonFiesta]

"It bothers me. People think of sone really ******** up stuff. Plus my own nightmares are mixed in there too. You know how sometines in dreams, you feel a certain way, like scared or sad, and then you wake up and wonder ehy that was upsetting? I get that a lot too...." Atlas explained. He chugged the rest of his coffee, looking tires and uncomfortable as he remembered some nightmares.  

[Kia Sai]

Do you believe you're missin' out
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won't know anyone
Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
'cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend.

~~REVERIE MERVEILLE~~

Reve bit her lip. She noticed how uncomfortable he looked. "I'm sorry.." She said quietly. She stared at floor, not knowing what to say.

Jesus Christ

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?
Do I divide and fall apart?
'cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
And the ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates, does Thomas ask to see my hands?
I know you're coming in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up

 

[SkeletonFiesta]

"It's ok." Atlas said, rubbing his legs together. "I dont mind. Your coffee is getting cold."

Axel sat his empty mug on the tray, smiling sympathetically at his brother. "I have a couple of new methods to try during your appointment later."

"I doubt they work."

"Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows? "

"I don't like coffee.." She said quietly, not wanting to be rude. She glanced over at Diamu. He'd been strangely quiet during this wole time.

"Oh thank the gods." Atlas said, grabbing the extra coffee, drowning it in sugar before drinking it.

Diamu was looking sullenly at the coffee in his cup, his face like stone. He had zoned out a long time ago.

~~REVERIE MERVEILLE~~

Reve chewed at her lip. She didnt know what else to say without being rude, and it was obvious that Diamu wasn't going to say anything. She watched Atlas, waiting for him or Axel to say something.

Axel looked over at Diamu, frowning. "Diamu, are you ok?"

Diamu snapped out of it, looking up at Axel. "Huh? Oh, yeah. Um, anyway...I think it's about time to go. I'm showing Reve around."

"Oh, delightful! How do you like it here?" Axel asked, smiling.

~~REVERIE MERVEILLE~~

Reve smiled politely. "It's different.. But I like it. Everyone's really nice!" They all put up with me..

Jesus Christ

"Very excellent!" Axel smiled, taking a sip of his coffee. "I wish it was true that everyone was nice, but everyone has their evils, you know?"

Atlas looked sleepily at the lukewarm coffee in his hand, having zoned out.

Diamu nodded. "Well, at least there's not many criminals running a muck."

"Criminals?" She looked at Diamu. She shouldnt have been surprised, criminals were everywhere. She was used to hearing about them. But for some reason, she was. Everything was so peaceful here. But the more she thought about it- the fence, the prince's guards, the hushed conversations about being exiled... The more- and less- sense it all made.

Jesus Christ

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die,

[SkeletonFiesta]

Diamu nodded, looking over at her. "Oh, yeah. I never told you about be exiled."

Axel crossed his arms. "That's kind of important, Diamu."

"Yeah, well I forgot." Diamu said defensively, looking back at Reve. "If you break a law, you get your powers taken away and you are thrown outside the wall. Sometimes its for a day, sometimes it's for life, depending on the crime. Miles and miles of desert. Pretty horrible." He siad as-a-matter-of-factly.

~~REVERIE MERVEILLE~~

"How do you get your powers taken away?? And why do they throw you outside the wall??" She was a little confused. "What do you have to do to get kicked out forever?" She wondered if anyone she knew had ever been exiled.

Jesus Christ

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?

[SkeletonFiesta]

Diamu gave a little smirk, finding Reve's curiosity cute. "You get put in this chamber that zaps out your powers into little serums. And when and if you ever come back, they just inject it back, and your good. I've heard it's horribly painful."

Axel jumped in then. "Throwing you outside the wall with other villains stranded in the desert has really decreased crime rate. Plus there's people like...him...who need to be exciled for good."

Diamu made a slash across his neck eith his hand in the "shut up" motoon at Axel. He should know theyre not allowed to talk about him.

~~REVERIE MERVEILLE~~

"Who's him?" She asked. Obviously someone important to make Diamu give that look...

Jesus Christ

[SkeletonFiesta]

Diamu sighed, standing, and walking to the window, peering out. "A bad bad being who did a bad bad thing two years ago that we can't talk about." He said quickly, saying "that we can't talk about" through bared teeth, shutting the blinds.

"The walls are thick. Confidenciality, you know?" Axel said with a soft smile, hoping to calm him.
