day to night, dark to light

like a s t a r in the sky, darkness can't reach you. light the night, joy is light 'til the new d a w n cast away your old face, full of gloom and spite. with this m a s k , i ask to borrow your light.

The girl’s response caught her full attention, her movements stopped to a still as Cassandra carefully watched her. “You couldn’t leave them at home? I’m sure you can find even more beautiful snow globes here —” She placed the object back where it came from. “Far better than these.” 

[ghcstiies]

she hesitantly looked around, at a loss of words. “uh...” how would she put this gently. “there isn’t really a home for me to put them in?” she didn’t mind saying that she didn’t have a home. she always traveled, anyways. but people would always react badly. it was rather... awkward.

Hadlee’s expression softened, mouth opening in a slight ‘o’ shape. It was amazing, the kindness some people chose to extend. “That’s incredibly sweet of you, but really–if you want to hold onto it, he’ll be okay.” The small boy’s eyes were drawn to the teddy bear, though, head cocking to the side as he eyed it curiously. Gaze drifted from that to a few of the other stuffed animals that were visible, then back. “Pwetty.” He announced finally. 

[ghcstiies]

“no, really, i insist.” she knelt down, holding out the stuffed toy. she really didn’t have a need to keep it. sentimental value, maybe, but there were clearly other things she could hold onto instead. “if it makes him happy, it’ll make me happy. i  l o v e  kids.”

“ I need more cola, or sprite, or anything that will keep me awake. Literally anything. I am begging at this point. ” 

[ghcstiies]

she smiled. “i think i have an extra coke somewhere...” her hand reached into a purse - star wars patterned, of course, with a tattoo design of boba fett - and, lo and behold, she pulled out a small bottle of the soft drink. “i kind of  l i v e  off of caffeine. only average about... 5 hours of sleep a night? but how late were you up?”

“I know it looks bad, but it’s fine. My wounds are my favourite parts about me, I’d have nothing to talk about without stories of my battle scars,” she chuckled, partially kidding. 

[ghcstiies]

“well, i mean, it looks pretty g n a r l y.” she tried to make light of the situation as well, slightly laughing. “i have pretty much nothing else to talk about except for the different, y’know, ghosts i’ve seen, but ‘i see dead people’ isn’t exactly the best conversation starter.”

“Is it because you are boring?”

[ghcstiies]

“boring? i... i-i’m not boring. i do fun things. maybe not big athletic things but fun things.”

[captiansebastian]

“It’s okay, not many people can compete with me.”

[ghcstiies]

“i mean, i probably could try, but, y’know, i’m just not into that kind of stuff.”

“Sorry — a hair chalk?” She wasn’t sure if she’d heard the other girl correctly, but there’s a chance that she probably did. Dark brown eyes scrutinizing the items laid out for her to see, an eyebrow raised at the snowglobe most especially. Her hands reached out to grab it, immediately shaking it in both hands as she watched the fake snow fall. “Where’d you get this? You know what, that’s not even the point — what made you think these would even be important?”

[ghcstiies]

“well, i mean...” her lips pursed. her eyes studied the snowglobe in the other female’s hands, moving around rapidly as each piece fell. she was like a child, almost. but, then she thought about the question again. “it isn’t like i really have anywhere else to put or leave them.”

A small shrug of her shoulders, glancing over the suitcase’s contents with mild interest. Her dorm room was hardly big enough for the junk she and Max already had, let alone adding anything else to it. But Max had taken a very keen interest in it and knelt down beside it, poking at things randomly. “Unless something really grabs at him, I think we’ll pass. Thanks, though.” 

[ghcstiies]

“you’re both welcome to take pretty much anything.” her fingers wrapped around the stuffed animal’s stomach, and her dark eyes glanced down, from the toy to the child. she originally said the bear was off limits, but... she had a few others stuffed toys in the suitcase. maybe she could live without one. “would he like this?”

[captiansebastian]

“Beat that.”

[ghcstiies]

“...nah, i think i’m okay.”

[ghcstiies]

“there’s probably... at least ten things in this tiny suitcase i don’t need. like the teddy bear, hair chalk, a snowglobe, my trusty lockpick. i ‘unno. i don’t see myself using much of this stuff.” 

she scrunched her nose. holding up the snowglobe and examining it, she added, “it’s all just little stuff n’ trinkets from home i really... don’t have much   r e a s o n   to carry. you want anything? it’s all up for grabs, except, y’know, the 3DS and the teddy bear.”
