Insanity Within & The Asymmetrical Love
Stein's laboratory was exactly as Searin thought it might be, right down to the stitching across the walls. Really? She thought. Even on the table? That's just too much. She looked around while Stein brought in her stuff and wondered where he did his experiments. Probably in the basement. Searin answered her own question.
Searin had finally found the kitchen after following all those useless arrows, and running in to more than a few walls, not a smart thing to look at the floor instead of where she was going. There was a specific reason that Searin had wanted to get to the kitchen, we all knew what was in the kitchen, the refrigerator, and inside the refrigerator of course was food. But apparently not this refrigerator. Searin thought as she opened the door, the refrigerator was just about empty. Except for a clear container with black,bubbly liquid inside it. Curiosity got the best of Searin and her hunger was temporarily forgotten as she picked up the container. It was heavy! The thing was maybe five inches tall and her whole hand long. She needed both hands to carry it. Placing it on the table in the living room, Searin ran back in to the kitchen, where she looked through drawer after drawer until she found what she was looking for, a fork. Back to the black stuff, Searin opened the top.
"Aww gross! " Searin covered her nose and backed up as a horrible smell made itself acquainted with her nose. Realizing that it was coming from the container, she started breathing out of her moth so she wouldn't smell it as much. She could still taste it faintly in the air she breathed, but she could deal with that. A small black cloud rose from the container and stayed there above it, Searin avoided it as she approached it and the black liquid bubbled and oozed around the container. Now that she could see the stuff with out the top on, Searin realized that the liquid moved by itself. She picked up the fork, if this was Stein's creation, then its bound to be interesting. She dipped the fork into the black stuff, then took it back out, observing what had happened to the fork. The thing had melted, only the end Searin was holding was left. She put the fork down on the table and sat back on the couch made of many different materials behind her.
"So... this stuff...is.. it melts stuff." Searin said slowly to herself. She looked around the living room and spotted a vase of flowers on a table in the far corner of the room. She went over and picked it up to examine it more. Even in the dim light she could see that the vase was deep red and there were black squiggles down the sides, it was beautiful and probably the only thing Stein owned that hadn't been ripped apart and sewn back together. There were 3 flowers inside it, an iris, a rose and a calla lily. Searin picked up the iris, it was dark purple on the edges of the petals and on the inside it was the same deep red color as the vase, the stem was the weirdest thing about it, it was black. None of the flowers had been stitched up.
"This is pretty." Searin said as she walked back to the table to the container and its little black cloud. She'd always loved beautiful things. She looked at the iris then back at the black stuff. She almost didn't want to put it in there, almost.
Holding it by the stem, Searin dipped the whole flower into the stuff then pulled it back out few seconds later. The iris had not melted like Searin thought it would, it looked the same but different somehow.
Searin bit her bottom lip, thinking as she looked closely at the flower. Then it hit her. The petals were brighter, more defined as if someone had turned on a light behind it. So... She thought. It melts metal, but makes living things more defined in their color. Searin looked around the room contemplating what else she could test in the room.
Stein walked into the living room after dumping all of Searin's stuff in her room.
"How can one girl have so many bags?" he muttered to himself twisting his screw as he walked. Then he realized that something was up with his living room. The couch, the table, the floor, they were all covered in the random chemical mixture he'd been messing with earlier that week.
Way across town, Lirin stood in front of Kid's house, when Lord Death said it was a mansion, he wasn't kidding, the place was literally a mansion, Lirin couldn't believe it. Probably has an even number of rooms too. Lirin thought as she followed Kid while he gave her a tour of his house. And of course there was an even number of rooms and every single room was the same in one way: they were all completely symmetrical.
Lirin had the sudden urge to mess something up just because everything was so neat and even, sometimes things like that really bothered her. She followed Kid back in to the living room, where they had started the tour. Lirin wondered what she could mess up as she looked around the huge room. Then she saw it, a painting hanging on the far side of the room. A mostly back painting split in half by two bright white figures, abstract art, only symmetrical. Kid noticed Lirin staring at the painting.
"Do you like that?" he asked more out of curiosity than anything. Lirin blushed a bright pink at being caught planing something that would cause Kid pain. Though she really wasn't caught.
"Ah..y-yes." she finally stammered out. " Did you paint it?"
"Yes I did." Kid's golden eyes shown proudly.
Lirin busted out laughing, the image of Kid covered in paint completely asymmetrical stuck her as hilarious. Kid got that serious look on his face.
"Why are you laughing?"he asked genuinely confused. Lirin stopped laughing immediately and bowed her head so her bangs hid her face.
"I'm sorry, its just the image of you covered in paint and not symmetrical was funny to me." she said as innocently as possible.
"It isn't funny," Kid started freaking out. "I'd be asymmetrical garbage, I shouldn't be allowed to live!" he curled up in to a ball on the floor mumbling about asymmetrical stuff and that he was a monstrosity. Lirin just stood there watching him wondering what she should do now. She crouched down next to Kid and patted his back.
"Your not garbage. Just because your asymmetrical doesn't mean anything, it just means your special, no one is perfectly symmetrical." Lirin tried.
"No I'm garbage, everything must be aesthetically pleasing or it is not symmetrical, that is the only way and I am not, I am garbage." Kid muttered sounding completely hopeless, it irritated Lirin but she quickly calmed herself so she wouldn't grab the closest thing to her, which happened to be a chair, and bust Kid over the head with it.
"Okay then, we'll be asymmetrical together then you wont be alone."
Kid looked up at Lirin, possibly with tears in his eyes.
"You would really do that?" He asked.
"Of course." she smiled. "We are friends aren't we?"
"Yeah.." Kid smiled back at Lirin.
Maybe she wouldn't have to bust him upside the head. Things around here were going to be interesting.
It is 4:16am and I finally finished this chapter. See I get insomnia for you guys. And I apologize for any mistakes just tell me and I'll fix them. Remember to review and I probably wont take so long with the next chapter... unless I get writer's block again. I will happily pass out now, goodnight.
