“  With this candle… I will set your mother on fire. ”

“  Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine.  ”

“  With this ring, I ask you to be mine. ”

“  Please, there’s been a mistake. I’m not dead.   ”

“  If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain.  ”

“  If you cut me with a knife, it’s still the same. ”

“  I know her heart is beating, and I know that I am dead. ”

“  Isn’t the view beautiful? It takes my breath away.  ”

“  I’ve spent so long in the darkness, I’d almost forgotten how beautiful the moonlight is. ”

“  I feel my heart is aching, though it doesn’t beat it’s breaking. ”

“  Yet the pain here that I feel…try and tell me it’s not real. ”

“  I know that I am dead. It seems that I still have some tears to shed. ”

“  I was a bride. My dreams were taken from me.  ”

“  This wedding cannot take place until he is properly prepared!  ”

“  What are you doing here at this hour? You should be at home, prostrate with grief!  ”

“  What a story it is. A tragic tale of romance, passion, and a murder most foul! ”

“  Why go up there when people are dying to get down here? ”

“  This would stop his heart forever. Only then would he be free to give it to you. ”

“  If I hadn’t just been sitting in it, I would say that you’ve lost your mind! ”

“ You don’t know me, but I used to live in your dead mother.. ”

“ Be gone, ye demons from Hell! Back to the void from whence you came! ”

“ We must abide by their rules! We are amongst the living.  ”

“ Let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose. ”

“  Hey, these aren’t my rules! Come to think of it, I don’t have any rules!  ”

“  Uh, I think, uh, they’ve had enough “exorcise” for tonight. ”

“  Not so fast, round boy. We’re gonna have some laughs! ”

“  And that, is why I won’t do two shows a night anymore babe, I won’t.  ”

“ My whole life is a darkroom.  ”

“ Don’t mind her. She’s still upset that someone dropped a house on her sister. ”

“ I will go insane and I will take you with me! ”

“ I will live with you in this hellhole, but I must express myself.  ”

“ Uh, what I meant is, can you be scary? ”

“ Oh! I didn’t know you were asking me. Can I be scary?  ”

“  I don’t think we survived that crash.  ”

“  Please, they’re dead. It’s a little late to be neurotic. ”

“ Well, how is it you see us and nobody else can?  ”

“  Well, I’ve read through that handbook for the recently deceased.  ”

“ It says: ‘live people ignore the strange and unusual. I, myself, am strange and unusual.  ”

“ I, myself, am strange and unusual.  ”

“  I mean they’re gone, split, out of here, afterlife kids, deceased-ahh. ”

“ I was just wondering could you help me get out of here?  ”

“ Are you gross under there? Are you Night of the Living Dead under there? ”

“ You know, if I had seen a ghost at your age I would have been scared out of my wits.  ”

“  You must believe me. it was a horseman, a dead one. Head less.  ”

“  I think you have no heart. And I had a mind once to give you mine. ”

“ Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue. ”

“ I have shed my tears for [ name ], and yet my heart is not broken.  ”

“  Their heads were not found severed. Their heads were not found at all. ”

“ He’s on the rampage, cutting off heads where he finds them. ”

“  That’s the problem; He was dead to begin with.  ”

“  What happened to you? Where are your parents?  ”

“  It’s not heaven he’s from! It’s straight from the stinking flames of hell!  ”

“ The power of Satan is in him; I can feel it. Can’t you? ”

“ He has been sent first to tempt you. But it’s not too late. ”

“ Sweetheart, you can’t buy the necessities of life with cookies. ”

“  You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. ”

“  If he weren’t up there now, I don’t think it would be snowing. ”

“ I don’t love you anymore. I just want you to go, okay? Just go. ”

“  Are you serious? I’m gonna lose you to that? He isn’t even human.. ”

“  Trust me, dearie, it’s gonna take a lot more than ale to wash that taste out.  ”

“ We could have a life, us two. ”

“  Maybe not like I dreamed. Maybe not like you remember. But we could get by.  ”

“ In these once familiar streets I feel… shadows… everywhere.  ”

“ You have a room over the shop, don’t you?  ”

“  Haven’t been there in years. People think it’s haunted. ”

“ You see, years ago, something happened up there. Something not very nice. ”

“ I tried to stop her, but she wouldn’t listen to me.  ”

“  If I see your face again on this street, you’ll rue the day you were born. ”

“  You’ll kill me, boy? Well here I stand! ”

“  You’re barking mad! Killing a man what done ya no harm! ”

“ Don’t worry no one’ll recognize you. You’re safe now.  ”

“ I’ve never had dreams. Only nightmares.  ”

“ I won’t slay anything. I don’t slay, so put it out of your mind.  ”

“ Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk? ”

“ Some says you survive it, you need to be as mad as a hatter.   ”

“  There is a place, like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery and danger. ”

“  Why is it you’re always too small or too tall?  ”

“ You used to be much more… muchier. You’ve lost your muchness.  ”

“ It looks like you’ve run afoul of something with wicked claws… ”

“  What if it were agreed that “proper” meant wearing a codfish on your head?   ”

“ Do you know what I’ve always dreaded?  ”

“  I’d rather you didn’t. I’ll be fine as soon as I wake up.  ”

“  If you’re hiding her, you will lose your heads.  ”

“ I don’t care! He wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for me!  ”

“ I’ve been shrunk, stretched, scratched, and stuffed into a teapot.  ”

“  So, I’ve come to you hoping you might understand what it’s like. ”

“ There are questions I have to answer, things I have to do. ”

“  You two remind me of some funny boys I met in a dream. ”

“Yeah, I get seasick.” She folds her arms, brows furrowing. “It’s very common, it happens to everyone….I never said I wanted to go in the ocean.”

Colette pushes her glasses up and huffs.

“You know, I wanted to see it. Appreciate it from a safe distance. Where I won’t have to worry about sharks, or seaweed.”

“Does that thing…work?”

“Well, it doesn’t happen to me,” Jerrie folds her own arms, eyes green-blue as the sea itself darting to the side and small lips forming a petulant pout. "And besides, I thought you could only get seasick on the water rather than in it.” How did she expect to see the ocean either way in that case? 

“Why don’t you try it out in the shallows?” She hands her another copper mask-and-snorkel set. “Like I said, you don’t have to, but if you want, I’ll be right by your side. Sharks are fairly rare around these parts and most aren’t the mindless killing machines the penny dreadfuls make them out to be. Seaweed, well...”  She isn’t exactly sure what to say to that, so she just snorts.

“- But I can’t swim! I hate water….I can barely handle being on a boat.”

[hamelinbound]

“What?” Jerrie, a pair of copper goggles and a clunky sort of proto-snorkel strapped to her forehead, looks at the other as though she’s insane. “I thought you wanted to see the ocean.” 

“I suppose we don’t have to if you don’t want to, but...if you change your mind? I could teach you.” Never mind the girl is much smaller; her determination makes up for her size tenfold (or at least, she thinks so).

“I’m Going to Go Back There Someday”

“It’s fine.” It really wasn’t but she never liked it when people pitied her. Sympathy was one thing but she didn’t like being looked at like she was some weak defenseless thing. “She’s not really dead if I keep her memory alive and I do. I do everything to honor my mother.” She could give less of a shit about her horrible sick father. She was glad he was dead. She nodded before taking her hand to shake. “My name is esther.”

“That’s...that’s beautiful,” Jerrie said earnestly. “Your name, too.” She laughed softly and gripped the girl’s hand with a gentleness that she hoped the other would see as warm and genuine rather than patronizing. 

[hamelinbound]

protectxthem​:

He continues to listen, staying quiet. She had a great singing voice just like he did, maybe better than his own singing voice. 

He smiles a bit wider, nodding his head before replying. “Hello. I didn’t know you could sing.” He spoke, walking further into the room. “Sorry am I bothering you?” He pauses. “Or startle you.”

“Oh, well, it runs in the family, I guess,” Jerrie says with a meek little smile, thinking of her brother’s much stronger voice and wishing she could belt like he could. 

She shakes her head. “Of course not! If anything, I should be--” She pauses, looking down at herself and remembering she wasn’t exactly supposed to be where she was. 

[assortedsouls]

@hamelinbound liked for a starter with Bruce.

"So..uhm... nice weather we have..." Bruce began, uncertain how to socialise with someone, especially another kid, without mentioning any of his more socially unacceptable interests. He knew adults always mentioned the weather, so he guessed he could try that on someone his age too.

[hamelinbound]

“Is it? I hadn’t noticed...” Jerrie said absently, looking over her shoulder to acknowledge the boy (though not quite making eye contact) and then back at the window to brood. 

She hated the parties her parents threw as though nothing had happened, hated having to socialize, especially in her state. Something in her wanted to scream or at the very least, find some other way to take it out on the children her parents would present to her like glass dolls to fill the hole in her heart, but she simply hadn’t the strength. 

She turned ever so slightly, a hint of shame in her downcast eyes as she struggled to make conversation herself. “So...Is this your first time here?”

Don’t you think there’s something wrong with esther?

"Of course I do! Why else do you think we're such good friends?"

Kara grinned, laughing. “Dark and mysterious? Jerrie Danvers, have you been into my romance novels?” She accused playfully. Rolling her eyes, she shook her head. “no she’s just….. She likes to pretend she’s this stone cold savage but she’s the only person on this earth to put roots in my dreams like that.”

“No, not unless you count the Sapphic overtones of Mina and Lucy’s ‘friendship’ in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” Jerrie smirked. “She sounds...wonderful.” And not unlike another guardian she loved with all her heart and more. “When do I get to meet her?”

[hamelinbound]

@perfectdcll asked:  "I took the liberty of making you a dress. I hope you like it."

“Oh, Esther...” Jerrie gasped, glittering eyes on one the most beautiful dresses she had ever seen -- pale sea-green cotton with a lace-trimmed collar and cuffs and little pintucks on the hem. She held it to herself and twirled around with it.

“Thank you, thank you!” She flung her arms around the girl and kissed her cheek.
