Well Screw That

[not_good_not_wicked]

My childhood sucked. Paralyzed with a pet bird as my only friend? Dead parents? An arranged marriage with some wussy kid I barely knew anything about?

I sure as hell wouldn't put up with someone trying to marry me now!

[Lillith's memories.]

...What's wrong with getting married?

[not_good_not_wicked]

The guy was twice my age and no one consulted ME about it!

[wontdieifkilled]

Um, I meant more marriage in general.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I dunno. What's so great about getting married?

[wontdieifkilled]

...Being able to settle down with the person you love and spend your lives together?

[It's pretty obvious to him.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

No way I want to settle down yet there's still so much stuff I wanna do! Plus I barely know myself! How would I know who I want to spend my life with?

[wontdieifkilled]

I didn't necessarily mean right away! Just...something to consider for the future.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Right. And this is something that happened in the past. I was still a kid.

[wontdieifkilled]

Um...uh, even arranged marriages can turn out well, right...?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I guess for the sake of argument that could technically be possible.

[wontdieifkilled]

So...maybe it gets better down the line?

[not_good_not_wicked]

That would definitely be nice.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Ooh, yeah, that sounds rough. Everything's better now though, right Mari-ze?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Yeah this place is way better.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Yeah! Can't let yerself linger in the past, right? Hahahaha! Man, who'da thought you'd come from a life like that?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well I dunno, it's doesn't seem THAT unusual.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Yeah, but you don't really strikes me as the type to take all that sitting down, though. Unless you're really compensating for alla that!

[not_good_not_wicked]

No way I took that sitting down. Bet the next thing I remember is walking out on the whole thing.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Yeah! That sounds like the Mari-ze I know! Wonder what happened to the bird though?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I dunno. Probably let it go or something.
