I hung up my drawings today. I had been meaning to, but I wanted to cover the walls all at once. They were gathering in a troublesome pile, though, so I decided to do it today. Most of the walls in my room are covered now, and I think I may piece together small drawings of stars in the night sky to cover my ceiling. I didn't realize how much I missed them until recently, so I think it would be nice.


I think I'm going to take a walk before I go to the art store.

Are you an artist? What kind of drawings do you do?

[memorially.livejournal.com]

I am.

What kind? Hmm... I draw everything, but I usually draw people, and sometimes places. Lately, I've been drawing objects from different perspectives and under different kinds of light. It's a nice change of pace.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I've never met an artist before. I'd like to see some of your drawings sometime.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

You're always welcome to come and see them. Just let me know.

I'm Naminé.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I'd really like that.

My name's Lyra. It's nice to meet you, Naminé. Do you go to school too? What kind of world are you from?

[memorially.livejournal.com]

Lyra, like the constellation. That's very pretty.

I do go to school. I'm not very good at most of the subjects, but they're very interesting. I think it's fun. I hadn't been to a school before going to this one.

My world... that's a difficult question. I lived in a castle for most of my life.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

You know about the stars!

I go to school too, a lot of the stuff they teach there is boring, though. It's not anything I want to know. It's a lot different from where I come from.

A castle? Are you a princess?

[memorially.livejournal.com]

Some of them.

Really? What kind of things did you learn at your school?

Oh, no. Not me. But I was kept there for a long time. I didn't get to see the outside all that much.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

All kinds of things. Philosophy, celestial geography, and experimental theology. I was learning how to read a special instrument that was given to me when I left – and there are no books on it here. All the subjects like math and science here are so dry. There's no stories about them.

I don't like the sound of that. Did you ever want to break out? Be free? Go on an adventure?

[memorially.livejournal.com]

I understand what you mean. Those things sound difficult to learn.

I did break out. Someone helped me. But even after I escaped, I was still trapped. I was still being used.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Being used?

[memorially.livejournal.com]

My power. They made me use it to hurt someone. A friend of mine.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

What kind of power?

[memorially.livejournal.com]

I changed his memories.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

You can do something like that? That's amazing.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

I can only change his memories, and the memories of the people who know him.

I suppose it is. But I would never do it again.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't. If they come back and take you again, I'll come get you.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

I don't think they will. They don't have a need for me anymore. But, thank you.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I had people like that in my world too. They wanted to tell everyone what to do and how to live.

[sharedsky.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, you must be drawing a lot!

[memorially.livejournal.com]

I've been here a while, so it's been piling up.

[sharedsky.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting that everyone's been here so much longer than I have. But I'd really like to see your drawings sometime.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

What did you do?

[memorially.livejournal.com]

You're always welcome to come over, Kairi.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I left, I knew that I had to.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

You're very brave, Lyra.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I have to be. It's not like I wasn't scared, either. I was scared lots of times, but a dear friend of mine told me that when he feared something, he conquered that fear. I keep words like that close to my heart, it makes it easier.

[sharedsky.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks! I'll be sure to stop over some time.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

That's good advice to follow.

[mostliest]

They're very good.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Near.

[morelier]

They're all right.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I thought so too.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[qiluo.livejournal.com]

What you've done sounds like it looks really nice.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

Thank you; I think it is. I used to do this where I lived before, but I didn't have as many drawings back then.

[qiluo.livejournal.com]

Really? I've never thought to put my drawings up.. Um. It sounds like a nice idea. I'm sure it brings a lot of life to your room.
