 a double edged sword is stronger but riskier than an average sword. sharper but slower. deadlier-- but hard to control. a double edged sword is better. two is better than one. two are stronger than one. two can accomplish more. but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. one dull edge on your strong sword can be your downfall. two can unite-- but they must care for each other, they must worry for each other. conflicting idioms and metaphors confuse her. "exceptions" confuse her. if a rule has an exception, is it tried and true? is it really a rule? she prefers stories and dreams that she can control, because they change, they're fluid. she doesn't have to worry about rules-- she improvises. a pasty and cold girl dreams by the fire in a slight sweat. (in a dream, she sails across an ocean and perches on a hill. dreams are lazy, and she enjoys them.) THALIA DE LUCALAIKA OF GAGNAM STYLE |

are you dead/are you sleeping? |  The faceless girl spits in the mirror and the mirror spits back white shards like diamonds. She raises her hands to cover her face and her palms shred. Blood runs into the crook of her elbow. She has a moment of falling, and another moment to realize she's falling. Oh, I'm awake, she thinks and sits up in a field of flowers. It's not where she remembers going to sleep, but she'll take it. She clambers to her feet and looks down at herself. There's nothing there; just a black void in an imperial uniform. Blood drips from the space where her hands should be. She doesn't even have time to scream before fire roars over the field. YVES CASTELLANOS |

 yves can smell the flowers burning and hear the crackling of flames. she can feel the heat if she thinks hard enough, and she can see the ashes left behind. she can see a girl, and then she can't, and then she can again. a beautiful girl flickers in time with the crackling of flames. a beautiful girl-- dripping in blood. she tries to scream but nothing comes out of her mouth. she tries to move, but her limbs disobey her. ( this is not your dream.) her body relaxes. she's safe here. it's not real. fire can be smelled, fire can be heard, fire can be felt-- but she cannot see any fire. yves begins to cast a spell, struggling to say the correct words with half-frozen lips.

are you dead/are you sleeping? | She spins in a circle. Blood clots on her hands and the flames nip at her heels and she breaks and runs. The fire snaps and devours her uniform with unceasing hunger: the stiff fabric and the bronze buttons alike. Beneath it she is nothing but an absence of space. Beneath it she is a blackness darker than death in the form of a girl, her hair streaming behind her like a banner, and she is nothing more. A shape on the horizon resolves itself into the form of a woman and Thalia plunges toward her, half-wild. The woman is speaking, her mouth shaping words, but Thalia can hear nothing but the static of the flames. She reaches for her hand. "You have to get out of here," she says. "Everything is burning."YVES CASTELLANOS |

she finishes her spell. everything was correct. she waits for the fire to stop. she waits for over ten seconds, like the books say. (father says to wait forever. you value a book over your father?) the 'fire' continues, and yves begins to doubt her presence in this dream. she could get out, she could escape-- but she cannot find her sailboat. and she still struggles to move. she meets a void and it wants to save her. 'everything is burning,' she says. yves doesn't see fire and she doesn't see a face. (only a nothingness; darkness like a mirror. she sees nothing, no matter, no space. so it only reflects.) she realizes very quickly that it is not her dream. she can only watch. she can only see terror and emotions. (is the girl afraid of fire? no. that's why you cannot see it.) (you're doomed to watch many things unfold before you. the death of a girl doesn't faze you.) (but she speaks to you. no one else speaks to you. she knows she will die and she does not run- she decides that she needs to warn you, to save you. ) (is it a dream or is it life? she's supposed to be able to tell, but even merci does not know.) i need to reach the boat, she thinks-- but her thoughts echo across the field out load, booming. yves is startled, but she tries again. you need to get to my boat, down the hill.

are you dead/are you sleeping? | The woman's voice rings out, loud and clear as a bell, before she moderates her tone. "The boat down the hill," she repeats. Her sword is in her hand, although she does not remember drawing it. Surely her belt and scabbard burned away in the fire? But she dares not look back. "You go first," Thalia says. "I will follow you. You'll be safer that way. The flames cannot kill me, only wound." YVES CASTELLANOS |

i can't move. her face remains still, but her eyes seem to flare with desperation. you need to go. get the boat and push it up the hill, if you can-- yves's hands go up in flames. there is no heat- just one thousand small, harmless needles poking her flesh. it doesn't hurt. (it never has. merci knows the feeling.) (she has died before, and she's felt less pain every time.) i'm alright here... she forces herself to think it. thoughts=words...do words=thoughts? she cracks. "take me with you, please, don't leave me for dead." nothing comes out, and yves's breathing becomes heavier. (words, thoughts; they're very different.) THALIA DE LUCA LAIKA OF GAGNAM STYLE |
