It's really neat! People like... recognized me on the street and stuff because of my hair, so that was neat. I'd like sign things for them and the kids were always really excited. And it was fun to record for the cartoon! I got to do a lot of yelling.

[mistyday]

Aww! Kids are great, ain't they?

[pain_train]

They are! Cause like... kids don't bullshit you, not really. When they're excited about stuff, they're actually excited. I really like them.

[mistyday]

Yeah and they love learnin' new stuff, haven't gotten all cynical yet.

[pain_train]

Yeah, that too. It's sad that people kind of stop liking new stuff like that...

[mistyday]

I feel like school kills what it’s supposed to nurture. Least… mine did.

[pain_train]

That's really sad. I don't remember any of my school, but maybe that means I'm lucky...

[mistyday]

You don't remember any of it? How come?

[pain_train]

I don't remember a lot of stuff. [Shrug.] My memories are gone. Everyone thinks Compliance took them. They're probably right.

[mistyday]

Compliance?

[Misty frowns.]

What does that mean? It don't sound very good.

[pain_train]

Department of Compliance. They deal with anti-social behavior and make sure everyone behaves. [Another shrug.] I guess they didn't have stuff like that in the past on Earth. Huh.

[mistyday]

No, not that I've ever heard of. I don't think witches would tolerate that none though, even if someone tried it on us.

[pain_train]

It's... good that you don't.

[mistyday]

[Misty nods.]

I'm sorry, that that happened to you.

[pain_train]

It's okay. I survived and I'm okay. [She is so not okay.]

[mistyday]

Good. That's...good.

[Not knowing what else to say about that, she offers Wrath a small smile and decides maybe a change of topic is best.]

Can I see what you're paintin today?

[pain_train]

Sure!

[She tilts the frame so it's visible--it's the cityscape Vision told her about, the cracked dome over buildings that have had neat holes seemingly cut through them. The effect is a bit eerie.]

[mistyday]

Whoa. Creepy, but pretty cool!

[pain_train]

Thanks! This is something I dream about sometimes.

[mistyday]

[She studies the painting for a minute, silent and solemn.]

Do you remember most of your dreams?

[pain_train]

A lot of times, yeah. They just don't really make much sense. What about you?

[mistyday]

[She nods slowly.]

Especially the ones about fire.

[pain_train]

Fire dreams sound like they'd be really scary...

[mistyday]

I try to forget those, if I can.

[pain_train]

Sometimes forgetting things isn't bad. [Maybe it's a good thing she forgot everything she did. She still wonders about that.]
