Trapped in my own skin

Bashful || 19 || Zombie There is the night that never really abandons you The cracks you try to forget And the veins you draw with a felt-tip pen on your skin to know that you're breathing. The only sound that can be heard is that of your heart, you see Of your heart that crumbles under the city and under the dawn too.

*Walks up, leaning down to softly knock on one of the porch steps.*

*looks up, startled, but relaxes after she sees him and offers a little smile* Hi.

Magic, maybe.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

Magic. *chews on her lip* There's not much of that around here.

[helen-codename-elastigirl]

Probably. *Frowns when he sees her look down, immediately putting out the cigarette.* I’ll be alright, ma’am.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

*peeks back up at him from behind her hair* Sorry, I just... I don't know. *shrugs a little* I just worry, I guess. 'S silly.

It takes a little more effort than just slipping into a different body. It’s difficult to be able to get it to work as smoothly as that.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

How does it work, then?

[helen-codename-elastigirl]

It’s a stress reliever. Helps me unwind.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

Aren't there better things that do that? *frowns and looks down* I mean... I'd be sad if they made something bad happen to you.

[helen-codename-elastigirl]

A cigarette. Which are actually really bad for you…

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

So why do you have one?

[helen-codename-elastigirl]

Hello ma’am.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

*tilts her head* Hi... what's that? *indicates said drugs-which-are-bad*

He was a pest.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

No, I mean... being able to change like that. Just slip into a whole different body whenever you want. *shrugs* I'd love to be able to.

Some could. I recall a certain boy turning into a piglet and me snatching him up from time to time.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

*sighs a little wistfully* That sounds nice.

[wondermonster-jubjub-blog]

Only a few people.

[brokenbashfulbeauty]

Hm. *splashes her feet in the water absentmindedly* Did other people turn into other things?
