No. 31 [video] locked from the Major and the Joker

[even though he sat for a very long time fidgeting with the comm, turning it around in his hands, before hitting 'record,' Alastair sits there and stares for another long moment before speaking ( Read more... )

[This is the opening pause where 'I told you, but did you listen? Noooooo, of course not' would go, but is instead left blessedly empty. You're welcome.]

What made it "dead and gone" before?

[audio] hackeralastair March 10 2011, 16:02:33 UTC

[sob Ruka but at least he was expecting to hear from you]

...Yuugi. He somehow defeated my master and destroyed it.

gallitrap March 11 2011, 00:28:00 UTC

[quietly:] And he's gone now...

[louder:] I suppose you must be the master of it alone, here.

hackeralastair March 11 2011, 00:58:41 UTC

Is he? I had a feeling.

[sigh] Considering it's not coming from the stone I used to wear, or my former master, it's in me alone and...yeah.

gallitrap March 11 2011, 05:22:39 UTC

Yeah. It was right around when... [pause.] So... [further pause. Yes Ruka this makes perfect sense.]

[more pause.]

How does it work?

[seriously encrypted now] hackeralastair March 11 2011, 05:33:51 UTC

It. It feeds off the darkness in my heart. All the anger and hatred, everything. And makes it worse.

[hello cryption city] gallitrap March 11 2011, 05:40:10 UTC

The darkness, huh...

It's something you can't let go of, is it?

[daaamn right] hackeralastair March 11 2011, 05:43:35 UTC

Could anybody? If they weren't somehow completely pure-hearted in the first place. Nobody like that exists...well, except maybe Yuugi. But most of us, I'd pretty much say almost every human being, has even a little shred of darkness inside them. That's what it feeds off of. Everyone's corrupt, even me.

[did we get the full tourism package?] gallitrap March 11 2011, 05:54:38 UTC

There's... different kinds of darkness, isn't there? Some are easy to push aside, and others stay. Even if the worse feelings linger, it's not impossible to let them go, is it? No matter how dark they are, or how long they've clung to your heart, it's always possible. I'm sure even Yuugi had feelings like that.

Could it be starved?

[man I wish I had a clever response to that] hackeralastair March 11 2011, 06:05:02 UTC

That's what I wanted to believe. That I had my chance and could do right. But it's back, so...now I don't know what to think.

[I'm sure you can come up with something!] gallitrap March 11 2011, 06:09:16 UTC

You said it was the Porter, though, didn't you? Then it's not really your fault that you have it now. I mean, unless you asked her for it.

[so much faith in me, alas, I am not that good] hackeralastair March 11 2011, 06:22:06 UTC

Of course I didn't! For all the times I might have wished that I had a power that could protect my family? This sure as hell wasn't what I was thinking of!

[alas!] gallitrap March 11 2011, 06:25:26 UTC

See? Then it's not your fault that you have it. And not a sign that you 'lost your chance,' either!

hackeralastair March 11 2011, 15:41:34 UTC

We'll see. [so not convinced...he's mostly confused and worried]

gallitrap March 12 2011, 01:16:11 UTC

Alastair...

hackeralastair March 12 2011, 02:02:43 UTC

You guys. All your Signer-types. Your power comes from a god, right? Are they strictly good or evil gods, or is there any kind of gray area there?
