Rise to the Occasion

remastered--eloquence:

Well, I don’t often feel well enough to go out. So, yes that would be nice, Tavi. Unless you’d rather the alternative?

Well, I can't entirely see the appeal. But what would you consider the alternative? Going to look for girls? Interesting thought...men have looped themselves into a very boring cycle lately...

Ah, of course. I was thinking that he was the type not to feel such things as guilt. You know a serial cheater of sorts.. Your sister could just be a number to him, fulfilling what meager needs she can. But yes, I do like this plan. Though, it sounds a tad more boring than what I thought our evening would entail.

Hmm, perhaps that's the possibility that I've overlooked. It's always so much more interesting when her pain is prolonged. Why? Would you prefer to check out some boys tonight?

Not faithful, hm? So you’d be doing her a favour by intervening in such a way. What do you intend on doing about this, Tavi? Reveal his dirty secrets or have me prove to her just how much of a cheat he is? -Smiles innocently.-

Oh, dove, I thought you knew me better than that. The idea would be compel him to do as we will with underlying layers of guilt. This of course, would cause him to treat her even better. And when everything is too rainbow-puke-worthy, we drag her from cloud nine and straight into the pits of hell.

-Laughs.- Oh, Octavia. Is that exciting or merely sick amusement? Do you know where they will be? I hope she at least chose some place fun.. I’d hate to grow bored of the situation quickly.

Can't it be both? -devious smile- I have a certain inkling from a little birdie that chirped a pretty song. Heard he's not exactly faithful. Awww, the poor dear. /sarcastic And you know a situation with me there will never be boring, hun.

I’ve never thought about my brother that way before, but I am sure many could agree with you. -Nibbles on her lower lip, as if contemplating something fun.- What do you have in mind, love?

-shrugs- Something with a little more excitement, perhaps? I hear my sister has a new boyfriend. Would be a shame if someone went to break up the party, don't you think?

I have been trying. Illness isn’t exactly something I choose not to overcome, Tavi. -Takes the bottle of pills, takes two, putting them in her mouth; swallowing them without water.- I’d rather you keep that between my brother and yourself.. Anyways, how are you on this fine rainy day?

Hmm. Are you sure? He's rather gorgeous when he's without clothes. -teasing smile- Too much time for thought; everyone tends to flock indoors and I do mean everyone. Want to do something fun?

It’s not like it is voluntary, Tavi. If I could mute out all sounds, thoughts and feelings...
