SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (WEDS)

[showmaster]

A familiar voice can be heard above you, you're not sure if they're talking to you or not but it does feel like you're part of this conversation:

"What a Wonderful Story that you have. I've read it many times when I was feeling sad. You know, I wanted to keep it in my personal collection, but it doesn't seem that's going to be possible. To grant my wish, I'd have to sacrifice what it means to be a reader ... to become the story. That's The End that I'm looking for.

[BABIE]

Hey, kiddo. How’re you doing?

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[ticketmaster]

Hi. Do I give you the right answer or the truthful answer?

Re: THE ELEVATORS (TICKETMASTER)

[liveslaughsloves]

[surprised]

They ain’t the same?

[ticketmaster]

Um, you have to pick one, it is VERY important that you pick.

[liveslaughsloves]

Which one d’you want me to pick, are you allowed to say?

[frontdesk]

I think you should pick the truthful answer.

[liveslaughsloves]

[exhales]

Yeah, me too. That one, then.

[frontdesk]

I'm doing good.

[And then despite standing mostly prim and proper, a smirk spreads on her face.]

That's the right answer, too. Hehe, gotcha.

[liveslaughsloves]

[—laughs]

You did! You little rascal.

[frontdesk]

[huhuhu-]

I'm just a little girl who told the truth, I'm not a rascal. You're the rascal, Mister Broomstick.

[liveslaughsloves]

I guess this does sorta feel like breaking and entering.

[unrepentant tho lol]

I’m glad you’re doing good. Any opinions to share on all these weird goings-on lately?

[frontdesk]

Yeah, they're dumb. I dunno which weird goings-on you're talking about but they're dumb.

[Points to the buttons.]

That's about me.

[liveslaughsloves]

Yeah, you gave good directions. Anything you want me to check out, or should I just kinda take a gamble?

[frontdesk]

[Points to FAVORITES :)))))]

[liveslaughsloves]

[gives her a lil salute and presses that button]

Thanks.

[frontdesk]

[And suddenly panels in the wall open and snakes pile out in droves until the floor is pretty much covered with them.

The little girl has her hands in the air, celebrating.]

Yay.

[liveslaughsloves]

[YELPS and picks her up out of the way of danger, keeping very still so he doesn’t tread on a snake]

WHY

[frontdesk]

My favorite animal is snakes!

[:) :) :)]

[liveslaughsloves]

They’re very nice?!?!??!

[frontdesk]

Yeah, they're great! My favorite color is also green, but I like all of the colors. I like ocean and sky blue too!

[She reaches down to pat a snake.]

My favorite flowers are the ones that people give me.

[liveslaughsloves]

[are the snakes just being chill…can he sort of toe a clear space and sit down among them while still holding this child]

Do you keep all your favorites…just, here?

[frontdesk]

[You can in fact sit amongst the snakes. Strangely enough, once you do, so does the little girl and you can almost feel a connection. The snakes slither around you but you feel a sense of her joy radiating off of her.]

Yes. Because it doesn't exist anywhere else. Or I guess, I don't exist anywhere else.

[liveslaughsloves]

[oh :x okay, he will settle down in this room full of snakes then]

Is this like…a metaphor for you growing up? Or did something else happen?

[frontdesk]

Kind of. It is a metaphor though.

[She held a snake and stared at him.]

Another elevator was made.

[liveslaughsloves]

Dearest, right? You became a Legend.
