004 [text] Day 524

[boogerman]

Those who knew Bunnymund, the rabbit's gone home. And you know what they say, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

It's just you lot and me now.

[He doesn't care, but this might stop someone from accusing him of elaborate foul play.]

Comments

[fuckingwolverine]

i don't know

[Her first experience with bartering, how exciting.]

[boogerman]

I don't give out chocolate. I'm the Boogeyman.

[fuckingwolverine]

whats that

[boogerman]

Your worst nightmares.

[fuckingwolverine]

[Lilly... has no idea what to think of that. It's not something anyone has ever claimed to be before.]

how

[boogerman]

Little horses that crawl into your ears.

[fuckingwolverine]

horses whats that

[Punctuation is for losers who didn't only gain literacy once they arrived in Asgard.]

[boogerman]

A kind of animal.

[fuckingwolverine]

bugs

[... They're the only kind of animals that she knows that are small enough to go in ears.]

[boogerman]

Worse than bugs.

[fuckingwolverine]

snakes

[boogerman]

Snakes, that's more like it. But not at all like a horse.

[fuckingwolverine]

i want to see

[boogerman]

Go find the stables then.

[fuckingwolverine]

no here show me here on the video

[video]

[boogerman]

[Oh, fine. He cooperates... almost.]

You've seen me riding my horse, with that rabbit hanging about.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

[Oh, it's that guy. She kind of remembers him.]

they are too big to go in ears

[boogerman]

They're not all so big.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She frowns.]

Show.

[boogerman]

You asked for it.

[Small, fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand shadow horses. See how many he can hold the shapes of at one time now... ten, if she can count.]

[fuckingwolverine]

[She's fascinated-- granted, more by the fact that they're shadow than anything else. Tiny horses aren't any more unusual to her than big horses.

She knows she can't touch them through the bracelet display, but she reaches forward and presses a finger at the hologram anyway.]

[boogerman]

[His little friends. Keep them 'alive' long enough and they'll only be easier to make solid...]

My horses, however big or small I want them to be.

[fuckingwolverine]

Pretty!

[Lilly approves.]

[boogerman]

'Pretty'?

[Well...]

That's true.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She nods.]

Dark.
