- Tries to stare at back. It's proving to be difficult.

"....?"

"Prettig Kerstmis!"

Garry sighed as the other went into a panic, with the other offering a hand for the other to grab. Yep, this was definitely him from the past, either that or he got out and he was lucky. “As much as you wish you were, this is reality, something you need to accept. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”

[bedxrf-blog]

"Reality? H-..how are there two of me? Like I can see there being two Mary's, I mean she's a goddamn painting! But.. I'm human!" Frans grabbed the other's hand after a moment, pulling himself up and then taking a few, very careful, steps back. "You're Garry right? Not some fake person? Uh... uh..."

[gelfrxse-deactivated20150325]

She listened to him and she didn’t notice but the painting started to cry. The story was all too familiar to her and by the end of it, she thought she might drown in a sea of tears that were held in by will power alone. She shouldn’t be a bad girl though, no no no! No crying, no tears… That would make people sad.

"… Okay, Garry." She wiped the tears from her face with her arm and wondered if they were even there in the first place. “What.. ” It felt like it was hard to speak through everything but she tried her best in it. “What if they find a better game but it’s worst?”

[bedxrf-blog]

 -  She's crying. He literally said how he didn't like seeing people cry and here she is crying. Seeing her cry though, it gave Garry a... hollow feeling? Empty feeling. He couldn't understand it so he pushed the feeling away and helped her wipe the tears away. Maybe he said too much... She wasn't human, she couldn't understand well. 

"I'm sorry for making you cry, Mary." Leaning towards her, he planted a small kiss on her forehead. "Now turn that frown upside down!

  -  "If they find a better game but it's worse... then we will try again! Try until they won't hurt me, or Ib.. And if their new game hurts you, then I'll be really mad at them!"

[scatteredfakebluepetals]

Garry raises an eyebrow as the other him moves his arm, not moving it to match his. The gallery was full of surprises, was this him from the past or something. “Who…are you?”

[bedxrf-blog]

"Oh."

Frans let out a scream, stumbling backwards and landing on his backside. "I'm hallucinating! I'm hallucinating!" He mumbled to himself, not hearing to what the other had said. Currently he was panicking and downright terrified.

[gelfrxse-deactivated20150325]

"But i’m saying that doesn’t mean anything to us! We were raised different than you and Ib so it isn’t our fault. It’s just.. what they love to do? I think the paintings were taught that actually. It’s.. just in their head?.. i’m not sure! It makes sense to me at least."

She laughs as he pats her head again and she keeps his hand there although she’s gentle for once in the grip. “Maybe but I can’t tell them to stop like that.” She pouts now and she lets go as she crosses her arms, trying to think on how to say this that would make sense.”…They’re playing a game. When you’re having fun, you don’t try to stop do you? You try to make it last as long as you can until you can’t anymore no matter what it is.” 

[bedxrf-blog]

"Still, playing a game that risks other's life isn't fun at all." He kneels again and gets back to her eye level. Clearing his throat, he began speaking in a stern voice. "Now Mary, listen to me... When I was a kid I was like a huge as- jerk. I didn't really understand other's feelings that well, and I thought it was fun seeing people cry... I was that one kid that always made girls cry, and I thought it was fun at first but then... I noticed what I was doing. I was hurting people and I thought... this isn't fun anymore.."

He pats her cheek. "I changed for the better, because I didn't want to see people hurt. So why not tell the paintings not to hurt others? I'm sure they'll find a better game, one that's even more fun!"

 -  Really confused, so he does the most rational thing possible. Move an arm and hope there is a really thin mirror in front of him.

Hopefully.

He wouldn’t know but the pat on her head lightened her mood instantly. She didn’t care for the messy hair a bit and it even made her forget the threats she made. She just wanted another pat on the head!

"Okay! Well, they don’t mean to really. You have a pretty rose and that’s the most important part of their favorite game." She moved around the other in a circle and jumped in her steps as she grabbed his hand again, placing it back on her head. “Also, they’re portraits! They don’t know that will happen. They think you end up part of the museum and you come back to have fun with all of us in the end!” 

[bedxrf-blog]

 - "My rose... the symbol of my life basically, is part of their game. Mary, this is why I don't want them getting near me." He watched her in amusement as she grabbed his hand and placed it back on her head. Chuckling, he patted her head once again. 

"Then tell them that I will die! They would listen to you, wouldn't they? You are like their little sister..."

[gelfrxse-deactivated20150325]

"Our- secret?" Her voice turned small and thought of actually keeping a secret… Wasn’t that what people would do when they were friends anyway? 

She stared at the taller human and thought on his words before slowly smiling. “Okay! I’ll keep it a secret but you have to play with me or one of the other paintings or dolls here! Alll of them really like you, Garry! All they want to do is to play with you.” 

[bedxrf-blog]

 - Garry kneel down to her eye level, making sure to hear her clearly. Seeing her reaction caused a small smile on his face. 

Even as a painting, she acted like a small girl.

"Yes! Our secret. And if you keep this secret safe, we'll have more secrets from now on, ok?" He gently pats her head, messing her hair up. "And how about... I just play with you? They kind of scare me... because they keep trying to kill me!"

[gelfrxse-deactivated20150325]

She smiled and spun on her feet as he dumped the cigarette. “That’s what you get for threatening to burn down the museum!!”

She would laugh but hands held onto her shoulders and she stayed still to see if it was important. She tilted her head to listen and thought for a few minutes. “Well.. That would mean keeping a secret from my friend. I can’t lie to her, can I?” 

[bedxrf-blog]

- "Then how about this..." He tried to rack his brain for some sort of convincing argument-- anything really! "This will be our little secret."

A smile spread to his lips as he let her go. "Think of it as a secret between friends, right? And if you tell Ib this secret, then I'll be very sad!"

[gelfrxse-deactivated20150325]

And time was filled with silence. The girl— the painting became quiet and she stared at him longer than she should before shaking her head. It’s fine, it’s fine! Just pretend! “So? It’s still in the rules and that means you have to put it out!! What if the entire museum goes on fire?” She holds out her arms to emphasize the point but the thought ‘she’s fake’ stays. “You make this much damage when there’s a fire and—- ” She makes a dramatic gasp with her hand moving up to cover her mouth. “What if you end up burning Ib?! Or you make her sick from smoke or it’s both?”  

[bedxrf-blog]

- "I don't mind if the museum burns, as long as I can leave that's all that matters." He watches her movements and raises a brow, "Stop being so dramatic Mary-- WAIT WHAT!?"

At that moment he quickly dumped the cigarette at a nearby vase. "I forgot Ib could get burnt by this! Oh Mary, don't tell Ib about this, okay? I have her convinced that I quit, and I really don't want her to be disappointed in me." He whispers at her frantically, grabbing onto her shoulders. "Please?"

[gelfrxse-deactivated20150325]

"Gaaaary~" She sang through the hallway as she skipped toward the man. “I heard the word smoke. Don’t smoke! You know smoking is against the rules and breaking the rules means I have to explain it to you in a more colorful way! No, no, you know I don’t want to do that- actually, i really do!!! I’ll give you to the count of three to put it out, okay?”

[bedxrf-blog]

- "Smoking is a stress reliever since I ran out of candies. And whose fault is it?" He huffs and continues taking a drag. "Plus you can't even smell it, so what's the problem?"

Glancing through the paintings, the strange being glances idly towards Garry. His hand reaches to touch the Hanged Man painting shortly after turning away. “From the Gallery? I believe I am. Why? Is my presence a bother to you?” The young man asks.

[bedxrf-blog]

- "Ah, I didn't mean it that way... I was just wondering..." He lets the sentence hang for a few seconds, wondering how to explain clearly instead of jumbling his words together. With a sigh, he reached into his coat pocket.

A blue rose.

"Do you happen to have a rose like me?" 

[bedxrf-blog]

"I really needed this... A shame I can't smoke in the gallery though."
