That sounds…awful frankly.
I’ve been doing it all my life, so it’s not so bad.
Sorcery, though… fuck that, man. I know way too many idiotic gingers that get into that shit.
Yes well, I’m a very good sorcerer.
No offense, but they all fuckin’ say that.
Because confidence is normally a big part of it all.
You can be as confident as you want, but if you can’t deliver, you end up stuck in the middle of a shit-storm without an umbrella.

‘Sup. I’m Bob. I know two of you. Well, I know all three of you. Tweedle-Dee, Tweedle-Dum, and Tweedle-Go-Fuck-Yourself-With-A-Pitchfork.
“Please pay attention”
“Why bother, I don’t even want the fucker-“
“Luce shut up and pay attention.”
She doesn’t want to make it obvious but his stubbornness is getting the best of her. She is on a time limit and she honestly has no time for his bullshit. She gives him a look somewhere between a glare and a puppy and he groans muttering how he is too sober to be playing Better Homes and Gardens but he comes over and sits by her by the plant.
She takes the small little shovel and shows him to to be careful of the roots, as she digs she pulls out snubbed cigarettes. She gives him a small nudge with her foot.
“You have an ashtray for a reason, the plant pot is not it.”
“Yeah yeah yeah.” He mumbles rolling his eyes but giving her a smile after she makes a annoyed face with him. It’s hard to rile her all up but Worth could really push her buttons at times.
She lays the plant down and empties the pot into the bag holding the old soil. She then refills and mists the soil lightly with her bottle, telling him to spray it a couple times. He takes the bottle and sprays a bit but soon sprays her right in the face. She pushes him and throws soil back at him.
After a few muddy moments the plant is back into the pot and they are both filthy.
She smiles as she sits next to him and Bob seems content. She rubs her face with her shirt and watches as Luce gets up and dusts himself over the plant. Alice just shakes her head.
She hopes that after she’s gone he will look at the plant and remember her.
She hopes when he waters it he thinks of the good times they had, and when he takes the time to change the soil he reflects on how much…
how much she hopefully meant to him.
She laughs when he asks why shes looking at him funny.
She cleans her face again from the dirt.
And the pinprick of tears.
[ ;^; i love all these oneshots. (i love all the Aliceplots in general, really.) And i love the siblingish relationship between Alice and Worth. He’s truly come to think of her as a younger sister.
Also, gonna just post this here:
[30/9/2011 9:56:32 PM] Neithan | Worth: i imagine Worth actually planting Bob or another plant at her grave, and then going back to tend it regularly
[30/9/2011 9:56:44 PM] Alice: 8n8
[30/9/2011 9:56:46 PM] Neithan | Worth: and he’d talk to the plant like it was Alice as he did it
[30/9/2011 9:56:59 PM] Alice: “hey…ally bean”
[30/9/2011 9:57:01 PM] Alice: OH GOD
[30/9/2011 9:57:08 PM] Neithan | Worth: Yup
[30/9/2011 9:59:52 PM] Neithan | Worth: “Hey. Hope you like yer Chrismas prezzie.” Hangs a pair of earrings on the plant, like tree ornaments.]
((Planting Bob there would be so adorable. ;-; *is so down with that*))
