An unpleasent conversation - CLOSED TO ALL!!!
(((Continued from this thread)))
After saying goodbye to Amelda, I log off and shut down my computer as fast I can. I put my cell phone (Nokia!) to my ear, almost nervously. It's Dr. Denavue, and I can tell he's mad. I didn't do anything on purpose, but he must be able to sense that I just fainted. Now he'll yell at me... I don't want him to be angry with me. I want this to end just as much as he does. I want my task to be over. He should know I'd never waste my energy on purpose...
I open my mouth to speak, only half-prepared for the scolding I know he plans to give me...

Ilmairi: Good afternoon, Dr. Dena-
Dr. D: Shut up! Don't try to be formal just to suck up to me! What did you do, Ilmarinen? I felt you lose your energy! You know you aren't supposed to stress yourself in anyway. It wastes your energy! Did you get drunk? Did you try to play sports? Did you-
Ilmari: Please listen! It was an accident. I fainted, that's all, and it was only for a moment...
Dr. D: Fainted? *stutters in rage* Why did- faint- you- how- URK! Just why did you faint?! I know you can be easily embarrassed and that can make you feel light-headed, and that your memories tend to weaken you, but really now... You swore you wouldn't let anything happen at this party- Speaking of which, why aren't you back yet?!
Ilmari: *sighs* Forgive me. I saw something... that startled me, and what ensued after words was a bit too much. I feel fine now though! And as for not being back earlier... Mr. Ishtar- the boy from the museum- has been hurt, and Zigfried, our host, is worried for everyone's safety, and is hard-pressed to let us go, I can tell.
Dr. D: Ishtar? That annoying bastard who checks on us all the time... How did he get hurt?!
Ilmari: *suddenly becomes cynical* If you want to know, they why don't you ask Adolphos... or maybe your master- my demon- the one we fear? They would know- *catches himself as he notices his sarcastic tone, but it's too late* Dr. Denavue forgive-
Dr. D: How DARE you talk to me like that, Ilmarinen! I am a servant to my master and he has placed me as your protector. You shall do as I say, and not oppose nor insult me!
Ilmari: *whimpers* Please, I'm sorry. Forgive me... I didn't mean it. I promise I won't faint, or anything like that, again-
Dr. D: You had better not! You don't have enough energy to feed our Master, so Adolphos and his troops have been searching for strong souls to sacrifice- which is becoming quite a challenge, what with all the cowards on this Earth. I have an offering of cowardly souls to offer up and though it may not do much, it will help. And, yes, Adolphos has mentioned he has a few offerings in mind too. But even so, the more energy you waste with your careless acts, the more work there is for US! Have a little respect, Ilmarinen, and spare us the extra work.
Ilmari: Yes, Dr. Denavue. *tries not to cry from his ashamed feelings and guilt*
Dr. D: ... *sighs, but it sounds a little bit fake* I'm sorry, Ilmarinen. I should get to mad at you. I know you want to live a good life, but at the same time, you want the suffering to end. It must be so confusing... I try to treat you as my son; you know this. I just want to be close to you, guide you, help you fulfill your destiny... *say it all in a slightly-taunting, half-sympathetic voice*
Ilmari: *closes his voice* {thinks: Why must he taunt me?} I understand Dr. Denavue. Thank you...
Dr. D: Of course, my boy. Come back soon, but until then, make sure not to do anything... stupid. *ends conversation*

I turn off my cell phone and put it back on the night stand. I don't like this. I don't like this at all. Things are falling apart as of late, all around me. The near-bliss I've lived in for over 2 decades is fading away... The time is coming. All shall soon shatter into tiny countless pieces, unable to be restored to their original form.
I should leave soon. No one here is safe if I am present.
