Ah, I know you're just a kid, you cannot be blamed too bad for what your boss is telling you to do. Heheheh~
I-I can too, you'll see!!
I have nothing but respect for our boss, it's clear she knows what she's doing, and we share quite a few values in doing this job. I never thought I'd find honest (well, sort of honest) work in which I wasn't completely miserable, hating every moment of it! So for that I'm quite grateful to her.
Huh? I think I ran into her a couple times here and there, she's always at Kaur's shop in Pamater... She's not really one for conversation, I notice. Kinda just ignores people, too - she's kind of a brat. But eh, it's no big deal.
Oh gods, this lady just walked right up to me one day and tried to start up a conversation? I didn't even know what to say... What DO you even say to that? That's so weird.
I think Kaur is <i>terribly</i> cruel when he treats you like some toddler. It isn't as if you're a <i>child</i>, if you make a choice you have the maturity and power to follow through on it! It is so terribly disempowering and discouraging to teenagers, to be told they can't, they can't, they can't, over and over again. He likes you, you like him, what's the big deal? If you were four years older, this would be an open-shut case - the importance our society places on mere years is outrageous.
... You know what? You're right! I'm not an adult, but that doesn't mean I can't make my own choices! I'm not too immature or anything like that, and I HATE being condescended to like that! I'm not just a little kid, I can handle myself! I've had to handle myself alone for this long, so... I-I can do anything I want!
... What? Why are you looking at me like I should have something to say? She's a nice little girl and I feel terribly sorry for her with the rotten father she clearly has, to leave her alone all day long in favor of women and drink... You know, I really have no sympathy for such people. It's one thing to have problems, it's another thing to share those problems with your children.
... What else will you have me say?
I don't think Kaur knows it, but he's pretty much my only friend. I mean, yeah, there are the girls at school and stuff, but... Stuff's always weird with them, it's like we're always fighting and we're all just secretly pissed off at each other. But he gets me! I think he's the only person I know with any actual MATURITY to him! So it's nice.
... Don't tell him I said this, but he's kinda cute ❤️ I always notice that whenever our eyes meet, he looks away... Hehe~!
You know... for someone who could comprehend all of time and space I don't know how you were able to give me this... state of mind. It's something that I don't know, but I guess if there's anything I do know (the drifter laughs, not a forced one, like the one Nana has known for what seems to be all of their eternal lives) It's that it's better to not know everything, yeah?
You know, I am awfully tired, the hundreds of thousands of me's doing what they could to influence space and time have been at it quite a while haven't they... like, actually an eternity's worth. (He laughs once again) Perhaps it would be nice to just relax, with you. It seems like we'll have that kinda time, you know?
[resting his head on his crossed arms, on his desk] It's quieter here. No immediate danger, no... Constant looming threat of loss or death. And I can still help people around me - arguably this is just as much saving lives as any of my old work, haha... Faith is a kind thing, it <i>does</i> make living so much easier. I guess-- In a way, being a holy man simply by fact of being one, gives <i>back</i> to the man giving his heart and soul to his flock.
... Please, do not be so afraid. No one is going to hurt you here. You have time upon time - gentle, forgiving time - in the world to come to understand yourself. One day very soon now, I can feel it - you will be able to sit perfectly... Still. And hear nothing but the birds chirping outside. [smiles] ... Oh, my Darius, I would give you the world and more if I could. I have given you centuries and I will give you everything I have for as long as eternity marches on.
HOWDY!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!! NEVER LET ME SAY HOWDY AGAIN, WHAT AM I, A COWBOY? YOU PROBABLY DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THAT BUT HEY I GET IT, IT'S REAL DUMB ANYWAY!!! I'D LIKE SOME TEA!!! I CAN'T DRINK IT BUT THE SMELL WOULD BE NICE!!! AND I HOPE THEY REALIZE THAT WHILE THEY AREN'T GOING TO SEE ME, THEY'RE CONTRIBUTING TO SOMETHING GREAT!!!
Ah! My dearest, oldest friend - how have you been? [chuckles into the back of his hand, eyes lowering playfully] You should be more careful about masking your presence, some of the younger recruits have been talking amongst themselves about hearing laughter late at night, they think the campsite must be haunted... And how right they are! But it's only out of concern for your sake, I know you are very picky about who you show yourself to... Anyway - Tea? I forget, can you drink in the first place?
(panting) HA... HAHAHAHA!!! I REALLY SHOULDN'T KEEP VISITING NANA!!! *HE* KEEPS TRACING ME EVERY TIME I GO BACK TO SEE HIM!!! I REALLY DO HOPE NANA DIDN'T REALIZE THE RIP IN MY ROBE LAST TIME I SAW HIM, HE HAS ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT!!! STILL, HE'S IMPORTANT... NO, HE'S *THE MOST* IMPORTANT!!! I SHOULD KNOW, I CAN SEE EVERYTHING!!! SOON ENOUGH I'LL BE ABLE TO CONTACT JESS, WHICH WILL BUY ME A GOOD CENTURY OF HAPPINESS FOR HIM, THEN MY VISITS AREN'T THE ONLY THING TO BE DEPENDED ON AND I CAN DEAL WITH THIS BASTARD TRYING TO KILL ME!!!
Wait-- Where are you going?! What is going <i>ON,</i> Dar-- Drifter--? WAITDON'TRUNOFFAGAINICAN-- [the drifter inevitably poofs] ... ... help... ... ... ... [sigh] ... There... Has to. Be something I can do. [starts shaking just a little] If I have to sit idly like this, helpless, while he's in trouble, I... [closes his eyes, breathing in] ... I. Don't know how much longer I can do that. I have to look around in here, see if SOMETHING in this... Inexplicably... Shifting... Cave... Is related to all this.
Rein's a fascinating little coworker, isn't he? Always looks so deep in thought when no one else is, sometimes I feel like he's looking at something... Behind me, haha. [nervously clearing his throat] Oh, I dunno, now that that's out of the way, I feel it's also important to mention that he is WONDERFUL in bed. Was more his body that healed mine than Pedrolino's magic, ahaha~!
Calypso is quite the interesting character. He possesses an almost infectious sense of charisma to him that is easy to get swept up by, and he's quite talented as a combatant and as a confidant.
He's quite full of surprises as well. And some... rather wonderful noises.
I love him so much!!!<3333 I hope he loves Stannly<3
Ah, how should I put this... Yuni is <i>everything</i> to me! But she isn't literally everything, I guess I can just say it often feels that way! She is the dearest girl in the world and that isn't just 'to me,' it just happens to be an objective fact that she is the most beautiful, kind and funny woman to ever live! I suppose I don't make the rules, I'm only here to explain them.
I know she isn't... Exactly fond of my immediate ideas on how to solve problems, so I would not do anything of this sort without her enthusiastic permission: But I do not exaggerate when I say that every time I see someone disrespecting her or hurting her feelings, all I can think about is the satisfying noise their neck will make once I've snapped it. H-how troublesome! I wonder if she realizes just how wrapped around her finger I truly am...
I am not so prideful as to claim he did not teach me anything, but I will say his 'lesson' was more of 'reinforcement' of things I already knew to be true, which were... Much more needed than I realized, going into the situation he laid out for us. I do not know why he is so insistent on never having his name repeated around the other Red Cloaks, but until I have reason to doubt him, I will keep it a secret. The man has a good head on his shoulders despite what those around him may believe, he knows the secrets of the universe I have learned to be true. (gods have mercy, gods help and forgive me, the man is also handsome.)
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I KNOW HE THINKS I'M CUTE!!! HE DOESN'T NEED TO LEARN THINGS FROM ME, I'M JUST TRYING TO SET THINGS RIGHT. THEY'RE THE IMPORTANT ONES AFTER ALL!!!
... At first I did not know to trust the woman always by his side, I mistakenly saw resentment and hesitation in David's eyes... Or-- so I hope, so I hope mistakenly. I hope I can trust what I saw - I cannot even imagine half of what he has been through, and I cannot imagine where to start in extending my support. Perhaps it would be best for some time not to extend at all.
I don't know what to expect of him quite yet. He is the newest addition to our group, so I am always weary. The scars on his face are pretty telling that he has a story to tell... I can understand that as well
I knew not if I could trust her, you know. I mistakenly saw ignorance in her eyes, carelessness in her smile - I do hope mistakenly - it was a look I knew quite well, that look of someone who stupidly has no idea they're making another person miserable. I used to look just like that. But... I am sure what I saw is trustworthy.
As the newest addition to our group, it is my responsibility as our leader to make sure he feels as welcome as possible, just as respected as the others. He looks like he doesn't want to deserve it, but like it or not, he's getting it from me!!!
We kissed which was weirds and honestly he smells like he hasn't washed his hair in a week. He has chapped lips 24/7. Someone start a fundraiser to get this man some chapstick and dry shampoo.
... I do not trust him. I will coexist and I will work alongside him and I will be as pleasant as the situation may call for, but I do not trust someone who walks around calling themself the "great judge."
... Not that I'm... Particularly... [sighs] I am entitled yet to distrust other people regardless of my own crimes.
Aha... Hahaha... Well, you see, this all has a perfectly rational... (clears his throat) No, what we did was invasive and we did not even ask your permission. I don't know what came over me, but whether or not I know is irrelevant - the point is, it was wrong, and I apologize. I hope not that you forgive me, I won't expect that of you, but I do hope that this transgression will burn less over time. (he's been avoiding eye contact the entire time saying all this)
... And. For the record, I did not expect Faelar to kiss me either.
While I am REASONABLY PERTURBED DUE TO RECENT EVENTS... I believe Nana will be a wonderful asset to the Red Cloaks, despite him not knowing it yet. In fairness to him, I did not realize my potential either when I was first accepted into the Cloaks. I will just be patient and have Mason show him the way. And when he does, I think I'll have a much better idea of who will make him happiest in a couple!
Well - [looking away, quirking his lips a bit] I never like a showoff, at least not one THAT obnoxious, so she certainly gets on my nerves now and again, acting like our secondary leader. But that doesn't mean she isn't a treasured friend of mine, I feel a kindred spirit in her in ways I'm not sure how to describe. And that... Face... [he starts looking a little out of it] ... Maybe I should stop, haha...
... I strongly doubt that I would ever say this to his face, but I suppose I ought get it out somewhere lest it start showing on my face. Sherlock is... Easily the safest person I have ever known, at least in these past couple centuries since my, "rebirth," shall we say. He has a presence like sunlight on a cold day, he is comforting and nothing short of wonderful to be around. Hm. Perhaps I've said too much. Please do not mind me, I do not mean to say anything impolite. (And this is the other person Miles 'ships' me with, perhaps only out of habit as he believes Sherlock really could be with any man. H. Hm.)
Boy you've gotta treat yo'self for once in your life! Look honey, I know you wanna make up for what you've done but let me tell you acting like a priest self flagellating cause he liked some one ain't the answer, no sir! You gotta bring it back to yourself, sweetie, and don't worry if you feel like you can't do it alone, the Red Cloaks have you in their capable (and strong, have you seen some of their muscles? Hot damn!!!) arms!
We have exchanged very little words, but I respect the woman highly. I feel strongly that there is a reason she is in such high ranks within the Red Cloaks, and she has never shown me any cause to believe otherwise... ... Who... Knows what she thinks of me? Probably nothing good, I can't hold that against her.
Nana won't know this, but I was the first to advise Mason to keep him in the Cloaks. I can hear it in his voice, he's not the man that he once was. The Red Cloaks are a family, one that will accept anyone so long as they have thee will to change for good, which nana has in spades
As-- at odds that sometimes I feel we are, I do not feel any particular warmth from him -- and gods, I can't blame him -- I... Feel grateful towards Chip, I believe that in a sense his presence is. Therapeutic, perhaps. Ah-- I don't know, it feels that it's easier to ignore those strange thoughts I have sometimes of snake skin and poison, when he is here and talking to me. He is imbued with such an unshakable confidence in his convictions that there is nothing inherently lethal about my skin that I can't help but believe him, at least for a few minutes at a time. I can't tell if this is good or bad, hm.
This new ones really fuckin' odd. He's a footnote in my texts of old gods, and history don't paint him pretty one bit. I don't know what Mason is thinkin' about keepin' this one, but I don't question him. He better turn around eventually, we might need to depend on it if the prophecy is true
He's a vain one, this boy. I cannot particularly blame him, of course, his magical ability is nearly impeccable - but he seems to like to tell himself that he is absolutely the best of the best of any wizard that ever lived, when I suppose we could never know such a thing. Hush, quiet, it isn't as if I'd ever tell him anything like that, I ought let the boy dream. (... Also, it seems Miles is questioning whether or not he "ships" us. H-hm.)
Can you spell edgy!? Seriously, this guy looks straight out of Miles's old tower. Gothic and gruesome, and so quiet. I know he's got more to him, but he's just too busy feeling sorry for himself. In this world, you've got to rise up and be the best, and this one needs to realize he can be that if he wasn't so quiet and depressed!!!
