week 1, monday

[disingenuous]

[ Roxana is going to be in the closet for most of week ntil I get tired of writing starters in this closet. She's sifting through stupid haute couture clothing, the type that's entirely impractical to wear. ]

Even I don't see the sense in these. Do you?

[pura]

[She glances over

and immediately makes a face, clicking her tongue.]

What sense? They're just empty decorations.

[disingenuous]

Is that how it's treated where you're from?

[ She looks thoughtful. ]

Some artistry is beyond my understanding, but these look like they're made with high quality material for something considered empty

[pura]

[She huffs out a breath.]

No, people are happy to fall over themselves for this stuff. But for me... [She looks at the dress again, frowning.] Beautiful and ugly things are both the same.

[disingenuous]

Oh, if you see me as ugly, that'd be refreshing.

[ She laughs a little. ]

It sounds like there's a story behind that.

[pura]

[Looking at her a moment longer, and then she turns to sort through a pile of plain shirts.]

Does there need to be a story? Beautiful faces, ugly faces— for all the fuss that's made about them, they all meet the same grotesque end anyway. Sacrificed to the maggots.

[disingenuous]

[ Hmm... ]

That's true. In the end, we'll all be one with the dirt and become carrion. But I don't mind seeing the beauty in others.

In this ugly world, there needs to be something to balance it out.

[pura]

Hm... But the kind of beauty you're talking about. Isn't that internal, or whatever?

[disingenuous]

It's both. For some, it reaches outward, too.

[pura]

[she pauses, as if thinking.]

... Well, I suppose such things are possible.

[disingenuous]

It's all right if it's something you find hard to believe. I'm not here to push you to be one way or another, but I would like to get to know you more.

[pura]

... I see. Well, you can do whatever you like.
