Bell Swan ω "Shell" ([personal profile] arenaria) wrote2013-03-09 02:12 pm

inside

Shell and Bell have worked out (well, Bell has worked out and Shell has tentatively commented on) a merging protocol that they think will work for them.

Shell's memories are going to be perfectly accessible, but they will not come up automatically in response to stimuli unless the resulting Shell Bell is expressly open to it. They will keep Shell's hard-earned tolerance to pain, insofar as that's separable (Shell is quite sure that she'd be able to make a pentagon if another situation as important as getting ahold of Sherlock to mint Juliet came up). All of Shell's insights about Sherlock's importance stay. Her itchy discomfort with Sherlock not getting her importance will be folded into Bell's resignation to same. The merged Shell Bell will be comfortable referring to either past in the first or third person, but will default to using "I" for Bell and "she" for Shell. She'll torch, but that's the only supernatural property Shell's bringing to the merger; she'll retain all Bell's magic. Shell looks a little older, but not much; they'll go with that, as they think torching probably conflicts with actually aging and they don't think twenty is the ideal place to sit forever and whatever Shell is supposed to be is closer. They are omitting the nightmares, good riddance.

"Last minute questions, comments, reasons to expect this to be a bad idea in some way?" Bell asks.

Shell shakes her head. She is looking forward to not being a separate person anymore.
gunpowdergelatine: Grinning. (♠3/I'm all love)

[It's fine,] he says cheerfully. [I had a little adventure.]
gunpowdergelatine: Partial face, one eye and one hand visible. Sultry. (♥9/knows what she wants to be)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yep! Got him right here.]

"Doorstop's back," he says aloud.
temporal_affairs: (f ~ run that by me again)

[personal profile] temporal_affairs 2013-03-10 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"What happened? Shouldn't any amount of time she spent in Milliways or wherever be nothing on this end?" asks Timer.
gunpowdergelatine: Smirking faintly, touching thumb to lips. (♣5/don't want the devil to)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[I'll ask.]

"Mm, she's not exactly the same doorstop," he explains. "She found the resurrected one and they got back together. Now she wants to know if you wanna do the same thing with Nathan."
temporal_affairs: (h ~ sideeyeing that)

[personal profile] temporal_affairs 2013-03-10 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Back together, like...?"
gunpowdergelatine: Smiling faintly, touching finger to lips. (♠4/what he used to make it talk)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
He presses his hands together, pulls them apart. "They split..." together again, "they merge."
temporal_affairs: (k ~ oh dear lord)

[personal profile] temporal_affairs 2013-03-10 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Well, there's a thought, but while I'd welcome being a vampire again and miss Kerron quite a bit and have no strong objections to resuming being stuck exclusively on you, I don't think Nathan's going to want to share an identity with a version of him who -" Airquotes! - "'cheated on you'."
gunpowdergelatine: Half in shadow, looking up; sincerity, vulnerability. (♣7/got me on my knees)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He shrugs.

[Wouldn't mind, but he thinks the other one would.]
gunpowdergelatine: Smirking faintly, touching thumb to lips. (♣5/don't want the devil to)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why don't you guys talk to each other,] he suggests into a conference call.
temporal_affairs: (k ~ oh dear lord)

[personal profile] temporal_affairs 2013-03-10 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hullo, Shell Bell, I think he'd be torn to pieces over the fact that I've spent the last century comfortably enough, unmatebonded, enjoying myself with miscellaneous ladies of Downside instead of remaining loyal to his mate in spite of the fact that he'd see red if he knew I'd touched his mate.]
gunpowdergelatine: Laughing. (♠1/you live for the fight)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The Joker grins and snuggles up.
temporal_affairs: (j ~ i am disappoint)

[personal profile] temporal_affairs 2013-03-10 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not sure. I don't know if that would work, anyway, mate bonds are impervious to magic.]
gunpowdergelatine: Partial face, one eye and one hand visible. Sultry. (♥9/knows what she wants to be)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[I'd like that,] the Joker contributes. [Seems like the least awkward way to get to love both of him.]
temporal_affairs: (c ~ heheh)

[personal profile] temporal_affairs 2013-03-10 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, babe, if you ask him, he'll fold like a napkin.]
gunpowdergelatine: Smiling faintly, touching finger to lips. (♠4/what he used to make it talk)

[personal profile] gunpowdergelatine 2013-03-10 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Up to you, sweetheart,] he says, kissing Timer's cheek.
