... [private, fairly hard to hack]

[livesindigital]

This just hasn't been my week. Odd's hand getting hurt was just the start of things, wasn't it? The one deity I might have considered ever - that disgusting bastard gloating about it -

"Do you like nanomachines?" What was I thinking? I barely have that program untangled, I can't possibly keep control of any swarm I capture, not across worlds...

You all right, kid?

[livesindigital]

Short answer? No.

Long answer? I don't even know why this hit me so hard and I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Everyone has their moments of weakness, Jeremie. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

And ... what deity were you referring to?

[livesindigital]

Kvasir. I've done some reading on the Norse legends. I keep forgetting you are one, I mean, you're... normal.

I can't afford weakness. I'm the leader. I can't waver or everyone else will.

Kvasir? Never heard of him. What happened?

Heh, thanks. I'd like to think I'm still "normal," even though I'm not.

... You're being too hard on yourself, believe me. You have to learn to rely on your teammates, let them support you.

He was killed. There's a picture of his corpse on the community even.

You're welcome. I can't accuse anyone of not being "normal enough"....

...I don't want to be a burden to them.

I ... I saw that now. It's horrible. How can we let things like this happen?

Jeremie, you're more normal than you give yourself credit for.

You won't, unless you keep acting like this. This kind of behavior will only cause them to worry about you more. Is that what you really want to do?

I don't know. (That's the scary part, not knowing how stuff like this is able to happen....)

Um. Thank you, I think?

I... no. No, it's not. Thank you for the advice, Jordan.
