sample sample sample, i will certainly take that tiny hot dog, thank you.

Look, I dunno, I'm just saying, if I'm going to die I think it would be cool to die in the middle of eating a cupcake.

[Violet looked over at her companion with a shrug, smoothing down the fletching on the arrow she was fixing. She really couldn't find a flaw in this plan of hers, but even so, she elaborated, just in case they wanted more information to work with before they picked it apart. 'cause she was a real sweetheart like that, when contemplating her preferred method of dispatch.]

It's not like it's going to put you off cupcakes for the rest of your life, since hey, kind of dead, but just imagine if your last thought was: shit son, this cupcake is the best cupcake I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. I could die happy right now. And then boom. Success.

[Watch Felicity actually consider this scenario seriously for a moment.]

It would be much less painful then, say, being skewered by spear.

[graveflowers]

[Violet is actually surprised she wasn't laughed at, surprise that registers on her face. After a second, she brushes it off and attempts to push on wards, except she was so expecting to have to defend her cupcake plan, that she's sort of at a loss.]

Oh. Yeah, actually that would suck. Spears are bad, I don't want to die with my digestive acids eating away at my insides. [Which is why it's rare for Violet to ever shoot someone in the stomach. That is cruel, even by her slightly skewed standards.

She shakes her head a little, nose wrinkling in distaste.]

So should I mark you down for cupcake too? If you're ever about to bite it, I can just shove it in your mouth.

[allmydreams]

[She smirks a bit at that before shaking her head.]

Tempting as it sounds, I'll take my chance on the roulette of life. Personally, I'd still rather finish my cupcake.

[graveflowers]

Well okay, may Fortuna be in your favor and all that jazzy jazz. [She says that a little like it's just second nature to defer to that particular goddess -- the Romans were kind of fans of Lady Luck -- so Violet was all for winging it through life.] But if you're already dying, seconds away from being a thumping heart under Poe's floorboards, death rattle making your lungs hurt... and suddenly cupcake.

[She smiles, a little silly, giving Felicity a look that clearly translated to, come on, best idea ever.

It would certainly make death delicious.

Well, unless the dying was diabetic. In which case it would be both delicious and an instrument of murder. Still delicious though, which is the point.]

[allmydreams]

[She has a point. That definitely is the best idea ever.]

You're right. Under those circumstances I would find it acceptable.

[graveflowers]

I promise to endeavor to let you die happy, of old age. But I'll have a cupcake on hand anyway.

['cause she's a sweetie.]

[allmydreams]

You know this means we're going to have to stay friends now. Regardless of how much we may piss each other off, I am holding you to this promise.

[graveflowers]

You say that like you could ever get rid of me. I'm like a really adorable internal organ. One of those kind of superfluous ones that you don't really need, but no one wants to live without a spleen.

[allmydreams]

If you're my spleen then what am I to you?

[graveflowers]

Mmm, my left kidney? Or my right, I guess that's up to you.

[allmydreams]

I'm right handed?

[graveflowers]

My right hand kidney. I like it, has a certain ring to it.

[allmydreams]

The Spleen and the Kidney. The team that can't be beat.

[graveflowers]

We sound like an ad for a proctologist, whatever they actually do. ...wait, no, not that. Some other doctor that is not that.

...organic hetero life mates.

[allmydreams]

That sounds much less serial-killer-ish.

[graveflowers]

Yeeeeeah. Unless, I mean, if you ever go serial killer, I've got your back. But yeah, let's not do that.

[allmydreams]

I think I'll pass on serial killer. Blood is a bitch to get out of your clothes.

[graveflowers]

Felicity? It's thoughts like that that make me love you. You, my sweet woman, have got your priorities so straight.

[allmydreams]

Thank you. Usually when I say things like that people look at me like I actually am a serial killer.

[graveflowers]

Well, I know your soul. [Shruuuuuuuuuuug.]

[allmydreams]

You do. I don't know what I would do without you.

[graveflowers]

Die alone and friendless. But so would I, so it's a symbiotic relationship.

[allmydreams]

One does not survive without the other.
