006 -- IM

[Backdated to May 6th.]

[When the IM appears, it's Eponine. She looks... Well, rather neutral. Slowly, she turns around and pulls her shirt up and over her head, revealing her bare back. If you look closely, there are scars, but what's most apparent are now the five roses cascading down and across her back, from her left shoulder, down to just above her right hip. Each rose is in a different state of decay, slowly wilting as they get further down her back. The roses are done in black and white, with gray shading and just a hint of red in amongst the gray.

After letting camp admire her tattoo for a few moments, she turns back around, her shirt covering her chest still.]


Five months.

[And that's it.]

I hope so. I just feel a little bad, not telling him.

[She blinks, a little surprised.]

I just meant in general. I mean, how do you feel when you have to lie to your par--

[She stops; dumb question.]
impetueux: (right when you think)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-04 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
I know, but he's my father and I am a minor. I can't just do it without telling him or lying to him.

[She plays with the ends of her hair, a nervous habit.]

He's my Papa, I don't want to betray his faith in me like that. His disappointed face is the worst.
impetueux: (leave your fear of love behind)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-11 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but that's different.

[Even Cosette has to make a face at her at that.]

I can't do that either, he'd say no and say we need to go to church more often or something. He'd think it was some pagan thing I'd picked up at camp.
impetueux: (suddenly i see)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-12 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...What's wrong with going to church?

[What are you trying to say Eponine, that you don't love Jesus?

If you tell her that she will seriously consider crying.]


...You have met my dad right? He's got the rebllious streak of an eagle scout. I don't think he's ever done anything out of line, ever.
impetueux: (this is what i want to be)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-13 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh hush, no you wouldn't. It's okay to not want to go, but does help sometimes if you ever feel like going.

[Jesus loves everybody, you'd know that if you went to church, Eponine. Can you feel the Catholic guilt yet? Because Cosette can, and her dad isn't even physically here.]

Well then I can tell you, he'd flip.
impetueux: (i feel like walking the world)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-14 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cosette just gives Eponine this really stricken face.]

Um, not so much. He'd kill me, bring me back to go to confession, and kill me again. I mean not literally, but he'd be insanely disappointed, which is even worse.

[She sighs, running fingers through her hair.]

Would you really come with it me if I did?
impetueux: (she looked out the window)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-15 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'll just wear high-collared dresses for the rest of my life. Easy.

[There's a hollow laugh there. Still, she's touched by Eponine's offer, pressing her hand to her chest.]

Aww, thank you. That's seriously really sweet of you.
impetueux: (she's gonna come to her own conclusion)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-16 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She waves a hand dismissively.]

If it's going to a permanent thing I'm risking my father's wrath over, I'm getting it where I want it. It's only fair.

[She just makes a face at the thought of the nunnery.]

I was kind of half hoping he'd have let go of that by now.
impetueux: (she's a beautiful girl)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-17 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I am half-joking, but kind of yeah. He really seemed to get into the idea after finding out about the whole demigod thing, so I think he thinks it's safer in the convent or something like that.

[It's a moot point already because she refuses to go, but she's not going to blow holes in that optimistic plan.]

Obviously, I'm not actually doing it. It's not like he can make me.
impetueux: (makes you feel warmer)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-18 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly if it keep him from having an aneurism I'm okay with him believing that I can be safe in a church.

[She's not commenting on the faith bit of that, just the physical limitations of nuns vs. mythological monsters.]

Maybe? I know I've mentioned you once or twice while I was home, so at least he knows you're my camp friend. Not sure if he remembers New Jersey though. Why?
impetueux: (long walks in the dark)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-20 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gives her a slightly pitying look.]

Why would he harbor any ill feelings towards you? We were kids when he last saw you.
impetueux: (leave your fear of love behind)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-22 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
You're not your family though... You really need to cut yourself some slack.
impetueux: (and fed my houseguests bark and leaves)

[personal profile] impetueux 2014-06-23 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[At this she at least has the decency to look a little surprised.]

I'm sorry?
