"More than the Garden of Eden"...

*singing*

Then she’ll carelessly cut you and laugh while you’re bleedin’.
But she’ll bring out the best and the worst you can be.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Blame it all on yourself...

I just heard that song again on an old CD I found. Been years since I've heard it.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Me? Goodness, whatever did I do?

That's gonna be stuck in my head for ages now. And I mean that literally. I was humming La Marseillaise through the whole of the nineteenth century.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

You're male? [Yes, she is kidding.]

Glad to be of service, then! I could start singing "It's a Small World After All" if you dislike that song...

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Uh... technically speaking, I'm not, you know. [And he's not.]

I adore that song. 'It's a Small World', I mean. I shall have to thank the boys down below, as I'm quite certain it came from them.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Shush. I say you are. So you are. So there.

It is fun to hum and watch the reactions as people get it stuck in their heads.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

As you wish. Just like how Ken is male, yeah?

They say if you play it backwards, you get an unholy chant in a dead language coined by the Dread Cult of the Angel of the Bottomless Pit. But I'm pretty sure that's just a rumor.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Yes.

How interesting. I've heard that about quite a lot of songs, actually. That they've got demonic messages if you play them backwards.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

I reckon somebody from our side is just looking for good press. I'm sure I'd know if that was actually true.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

I would think I would too.

How have you been?

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Well enough. Nothing changes, you know how it is. And you?

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've been well.

Making a few changes to things, or trying to, but still well.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Like what sort of changes?

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know.. the usual..

Going on a date with Adam, trying for Salvation..

That sort of thing.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Tsk, tsk. Salvation is highly overrated, dear. You won't be able to get a decent drink for anything if you wind up on the other side. And you know perfectly well that it's deathly dull up there.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

I said "trying."

Let us reasonably consider how likely I am to achieve anything in that area.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

I know, but why even try? Not only is it - forgive me for saying so - a rather doomed attempt. What if you should succeed? Think of all the wonderful things you'll be denied.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

You'll make fun of me if I tell you.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Oh, do go on. I'll try and dissuade you, perhaps. Try to show you the flaw in your reason. But make fun of you? Never. I am above that.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

I promised I would try, and it.. opens up the possibility of a second chance at something I've wanted for a long while.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

*raises an eyebrow* Which would be what, exactly? Although, pardon me, I don't mean to pry, but I am curious. Frankly, I would hope you wouldn't opt for being saved. Things would be so boring without you around.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

...
Someone.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

I see. Now, whatever are you going to do if your replacement dear little Eve shows up? I suppose polygamy is always an option, but I don't know if you'd be considered the first wife or the second...

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Well, since a certain someone refers to me as his first wife, I think that answers that.

[Yes, she might be looking a little smug. Just slightly. Small bit.]

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

So... you think that immediately he'll allow you to nudge over his other wife and no more'll be said about it? That certain someone'll have a good deal doing, I'll say that much.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Well, she isn't around, now is she?

If she shows up, then the situation will be addressed. But she isn't here, and I am not going to give her more importance by considering her when she is not here to be considered.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

And you don't think he's going to give any thought to her, whether she's here or not?

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

I don't care if he does.

I know where I stand, and that's that.

He acknowledges me as his first wife, so that is my position.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Of course. Hope springs eternal and all that. Far be it from me to say otherwise.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

[She said nothing, instead moving to attempt and slap him upside the back of the head.]

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

[She slaps hard but, luckily, he's been through worse. He laughs and regains his composure, cracks his neck, and immediately begins to fix his hair.]

I see your arm hasn't gotten any weaker with age.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Of course it hasn't.

I've had time to improve, that's all.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

No doubt you've had plenty of time to exercise it.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

And plenty else.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt it, dear.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Well, someone had to perfect the art, now didn't they?

I just happen to be good at it.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

Of course. The best, I'd imagine.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Practice makes perfect.

[messiremephisto.livejournal.com]

That's what I've always said, really.

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

And when one has so much time, one can only get better and better.

ooc

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

This has been Mab's theme song in my head for so long...

Re: ooc

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Lilith's pretty much adopted it herself too...

Re: ooc

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

Can I say I'm not surprised?

Re: ooc

[motherofdemons.livejournal.com]

Naturally!

I listened to my Billy Joel CD with that on it for the first time since I took up Lilith, and halfway through, it's like "...Oh, hi, Lilith. It's your theme song."

Perfectly suits Mab too.

Re: ooc

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

The version that struck me with her was the Celtic Men version. Two gorgeous men arguing in their description of the woman, one demonizing her, the other putting her on a pedestal, both of them wanting her. It was Mab through and through.

And Lilith, now that I think about it.
