❝ oh, good ! i mean — cool,    cool. i’ll keep that in mind.            usher ? mmm … he’s okay.      not a diehard fan, but i      like some of his songs. ❞

[thekideternity-blog]

" yeah? like which one's in particular? y'know. just making conversation. "

[sassiesandsmark-archive]

"It’s been over a year your idgit. I thought… I thought you were actually really gone this time and I mean— really gone… totally gone.. like never going to see one of my best friends again gone…"

[thekideternity-blog]

"My bad. I'm sorry about that. I had some, uh, some business to attend to. I don't die that easily, though, so don't worry if I go quiet."

Quick to get. Nice. You’re going to have to tell me what gave it away. I’m usually so good at this.

I’m afraid so. Hope it’s not too disappointing.

[thekideternity-blog]

These things are kinda' the whole reason I'm alive right now. I got an eye for it.

❝ well, daisies make me sneeze, so     i try t’steer clear of ‘em. but that’s     about it. speaking of which, what     are your thoughts on handmade      gifts ? y’know, just in general.  ❞

[thekideternity-blog]

" there's a lot of dedication that goes in- to handcrafting. so i'd think it'd be pretty amazing to get something like that. 

also, hey, y'know, i'm just asking are you a fan of usher? like, aside from the dancing and abs. "

[sassiesandsmark-archive]

"A million.. Where the HELL have you been!? I thought you were never coming back! Hug me damn it!"

[thekideternity-blog]

Hugs her. "Come on, it wasn't that serious. How long was I gone for? A week? A month?"

On a scale of one to ten, how much did you miss me? 100?

            ❝ … oops ? ❞ ( she flashes him the most apologetic smile she can muster (which, honestly, doesn’t appear all that sincere). clearly excited, she practically skips back to the area in which she wishes to set up the tree. the soon-to -be whole tree rests on the ground, the faux branches looking extremely pitiful. it sucks — but his statement manages to elicit a genuine smile. )

            ❝ …since i’m really cute                    does this mean i get to                    blast christmas music                    while we do this ? i                    mean, i think ‘s only fair.  ❞

[thekideternity-blog]

" you pushin' it, but go 'head. "

he says in a tone which means 'i love christmas music but i  don't want to admit it.'

kid goes to lift the tree, first with his back. it's honestly not that heavy but he likes to play the 'immortality is catching up with me' card when he doesn't want to work. 

" lil' help here? i died three times and it's catching up with me now. "

[duplicaated]

❝ you betcha ! here — ❞ ( she grabs hold of the remote, gesturing to the two buttons that will allow him to do so. winnie pauses it & then plays it again to prove that’s she not just making it up. she then proceeds to press the record button, showing him where he can go to find it once it has been recorded. )

         ❝ see. easy as that.              now, to the treeee ! ❞

[thekideternity-blog]

" it was that easy? you cheated me. "

still, he gets up to help her. kid's definitely not happy  about it, but whatever.

the tree isn't heavy, but television weighs heavily on him still.  

" you're really lucky you're really cute. "

[duplicaated]

❝ yeah, but. i can pause it. heck, i’ll even record if ‘s that big of a deal. you won’t miss a thing. ‘sides, four arms are better than two.  ❞ ( she could literally just, you know, duplicate herself & have triple that. the tree would be done in no time & he’d be left be. but winnie’s stubborn & insists on having his help. )

❝ — i promise i won’t ask for anything else kid. really, i swear.  ❞           ( let’s be real here.           that’s probably a lie. )

[thekideternity-blog]

wait.

" you can pause this thing? and record it? "

she just rocked his world. up is down, left is right, you can pause the goddamn television. everything has changed.

" show me how and hell i'll go caroling with you, if you ask. "

that is definitely a lie. he was going caroling anyway.

[duplicaated]

 ❝ can you pleeeease come      help me put up the tree ?  ❞

( she’s giving the other major puppy dog eyes right now. if they say no, she’s liable to shed a fake tear. )

[thekideternity-blog]

but like, the television is on and it's still new to him. so, he's trying his hardest not to look at her because that is an instant loss at this "shirk responsibility" game

" but you got two arms right there.  and honestly, you might be stronger than me. i got you with the ornaments, though. "

hopefully that time never comes but offering is good, right?

The drugs not in production anymore. And it was lousy sex, we were both too high for it to make sense. I think we just touched for an hour, but what I'm saying is. It happened.

[thekideternity-blog]

You know, it's like processed food. It's shit, sure, but you keep coming back to it because there's nothing else.

That's the only real reason I can give you as to why.

  ❝Same!❞

( she’s far too excited to admit that she’s seen a number of people die. granted, it hadn’t been all in go—in fact, it been over a matter of weeks due to her sucking at doing her job. )

❝No. But sometimes, I ‘forget’ where I   oughta be. I end up paying for it big   time, but it usually ends up being worth   it. Most of the time I go possess people;   eat food, have bomb sex. It may not be   in my body, but whatever. Still a ghost   girl’s dream.❞

[thekideternity-blog]

Shit, now I want to be a ghost girl. I mean, I eat, but I haven't had sex since the 80's. And I had to get high enough to enter her mind the last time.

[duplicaated]

Yeah? Well then of course I do. I trust you too, y’know—an’ if you’re sure you’re ready to share?  Then I don’t see why not.

My name isn't Kid Eternity. It's Christopher Freeman. I was born in, like, the 20s? Or 30s, I don't know. I don't know my parents, either, and the last time I tried to find them, I was killed. I came back, though, but then I died again. I don't think I can die for good.

I mean, the first time I died, I was 12. Shot to death by a German U-Boat during World War II. What was I doing out on the sea at 12 years old? That's... there was a man, had me call him Gran'Pa. I didn't know him, but I needed somewhere to stay, so I went with him. He, uh, I should've known-- old men don't just pick up little boys off the street for no reason, but he turned out to be a... He... I didn't have a choice in it. Dying was better than that, honestly.

 But I spent 30 years in Hell after that until they gave me a Keeper and let me become Eternity. I was chosen for this bullshit quest. I've been violated in way more ways 'n then I was with Gran'Pa because of it. Sometimes, I really do think humanity's shit when I think about it.
