One task down...

May 12, 2008 01:32

Infinitely more to go. We've pissed off one dangerous character. I suppose I might as well piss off another. What have I got to lose at this point? They know how to work the security on my house. Maybe they can't edit it, but they could live there - safe and sound - even if I wasn't around. There's really no reason not to. Except that they're not my friends. But I know my luck. One of mine will be next. Merlin's beard, I don't know went to stop... I should put an ad in the paper at this rate.

Taro, tell Gin I'm willing to help as much as I can... but I'm going to need as much information as he can possibly give me.

Futch, don't kill me for asking this, but... Roz, if you think you can do anything, you let me know.

In better news, we managed to get Delphia back. We faced a Manticore and a Chimera and some traps, but... Fighting deadly creatures is kinda fun not quite what I expected from that. It is what it is. I'm sure we'll see more of Celosia. It worries me that we didn't see her at all. It made accomplishing our objective easier, but it means certain people will have to remain in hiding. Also means it's dangerous for Delphia to be where she is. It is, unfortunately, unavoidable. The healing is too complex for anyone I know to do it. And I certainly can't. Someone said we should just kidnap healers, but I think that was out of the question. I'd get too much flak and they're people too. We can't interrupt their lives like that and it was too urgent to ask for volunteers. Hopefully, the healers can deal with it quickly. Probably a good idea to get Delphia somewhere safer as quickly as we can.

That one is worrisome. I wonder if Hogwarts is safe enough? Too much happened to me for me to trust it completely, you know?

Sometimes, I wish it were that simple again. People just sought us out back then. We didn't find out second-hand. We didn't have to do rescue-missions. They captured us. All we had to do was get out alive. It was a much clearer path to follow. I'm supposed to be doing "real life" right now. Well, what's that? I don't know. Maybe Roz knows. Sometimes, her life is so far away from mine. I'm almost envious. But I know I couldn't do it. I don't think I'm wired that way. Let's be honest: I was born for war, not peace.

I've always felt I was more tool than human. But maybe I was wrong. Or maybe just poorly defined. Maybe I was always more weapon than tool. It seems that way sometimes. I think it's a better definition. More weapon than tool and more tool than human. So definitely more weapon than human. If only I had held the controls. I would have misfired or backfired. Become broken as a weapon. I'd probably still be broken as a human, but at least I couldn't hurt anyone.

I'm kind of excited for Roz's party. I wish I knew when it was. But I'm looking forward to it regardless. The break will be nice. I'll have to ask her if we can charm the deserts... for old time's sake.
