Cecilia (C)'s Links
Hannaboo, don't call yourself a plug like that! Remember water? That's you and Octi. Not me. That's not to say I don't deserve some praise for being the backbone and fuel of life. Please, I'm happy to help out wherever I can. I believe that people with power, money, or the ability to form four bonds should invest those gifts into helping others. But back to Hannah. She's so considerate, taking up the role of managing the Elementals. I don't think I could do that.
Cece! My awesome girlfriend takes on so much–composing all life and providing that life with energy, technology, and cutting-edge innovations on top of that. She's the backbone, and I'm just plugging in the holes. Seriously, I love her so much.
Lucy's battery club provides an outlet for my ideas, and a wonderful way to help fix the mess I made. I wish I had never gotten humans hooked on fossil fuels to begin with, and I wish it didn't take wrecking the climate to realize there was a problem. But I cannot change the past.
I'm grateful that Cecilia helps me out at the battery club. She searches for new and innovative ways to help the world, and green energy is one of her passions. She's interesting and enlightening to talk to. But, Cecilia, stop blaming yourself for climate change. Humans make use of what is available around them, and you did not choose to place fossil fuels inside the Earth. It's not your fault.
Bea has a brilliant mind, yet she is plagued with self-doubt. I wish she would be less harsh on herself: she need not apply her Mohs hardness to her self-reflection. She's not me, and she never will be. That's not a flaw. She still has an important role to play.
I greatly admire her skills, her innovative ideas, her scientific mindset yet her compassionate heart, I could go on. There is no other Elemental like Cecilia, and there cannot be. What am I, some pathetic imitation?
I'm so glad to have someone as empathetic as Nettie as part of the life essentials. She might seem cold, but she's warmed up to me and the great diversity of life on this planet. And cyanide is not the only compound we can make. What about nitriles and amides and amines and imines and imides and azo compounds and cyanates and nitro compounds and....?
She loves all living creatures on a level that even some of the essential Elementals cannot. She loves it when I go on about proteins and plants. And she showed me the wonders of Earth and the beauty of life before I passed on that knowledge to Hannah. I do wish the compounds we formed weren't so toxic.
She's very charming; I'll say that. She approached me one day around our little fire and asked me to take her to the ocean. And then one thing led to another, and another, and another, and suddenly we're dancing in the sky and running across mats of oceanic microorganisms. Eventually, Hannah grew jealous of us, yet we still held clandestine meetings. That is, until Hannah figured out how to use photosynthesis to let the microbes we loved separate us.
That's not to say our friendship ended two billion years ago. As life flourished, we had even more of a reason to work together, and Hannah was able to overcome any jealousy she had. Together we built this lush, green planet with its millions of species. I'm fine to just be friends these days, though Cecilia is still cute. Very cute.
She'd be more useful and likable if she understood the meaning of the words "get", "off", and "me".
Cece, I thought you loved bonding? What happened to being Queen of the Elementals? What happened to the deep, everlasting bond we share?
I'm taking cooking lessons from her, because I have a tendency to burn anything that contains my atoms, which is most food. I'm surprised she doesn't consider me a lost cause like so many other Elementals, including some of the minerals. I wish she didn't keep channeling her inner Gordon Ramsay on me.
Sorry, but someone who managed to burn fruits and vegetables that should have had too much water in them kind of deserves what I put you through.
