[And Rhade is groggy, and back in his room. He smears his hand over his face in that way that someone does when they've rested so much that they're tired.]

The timing for a Barge coma is impeccable.

[Delicious life details still strewn around. He knows some of them have been deleted and hates it. But, he still has enough ( Read more... )

I noticed.

And I'm beginning to think those genes you talk about let you see more of the future than you should. [Only half joking.]

[Private] majorum_pride September 30 2011, 19:15:31 UTC

Not to my knowledge. [Yet. He's working on it. Also yay, Vanessa's still here.]

Is there something concerning you?

[Private] lifeafterhope September 30 2011, 22:12:58 UTC

You talk about disappearing, you go into a coma. You talk about plays, I find myself stabbing 'my best friend' to death for losing his head over power. [Have a secret to make up for missing that flood.]

What's next, I wonder.

[Private] majorum_pride October 1 2011, 05:14:02 UTC

You stabbed someone to death? [That secret is just for him. So it makes it better.]

I talk about disappearing frequently, however. Quite recently someone I was intimate with vanished. Before him, a man that had been a good Pride member. Harper left willingly, telling me how much he resented me. Tyr left requesting that I graduate. My first warden disappeared without so much as a word.

Others come and go. Sometimes I philosophize on it, and sometimes I just think that what they do is the only real way to break this system. No matter what fate lies onward for them.

When we were on the other barge, or from it. Their Arthas couldn't control the power he tried to take.

I didn't want him to use it, graduate there, and go back to her world changed like that. I didn't want to know that another Azeroth would be ruined, even one as... wrong as that one. So I killed him.

It would be harder to rule us if we could disappear at will, wouldn't it?

[Private] majorum_pride October 1 2011, 05:29:38 UTC

Oh. That. [Rhade is disappoint. Not in her, but in what Arthas did. He still feels as though he contributed to it slightly.]

It was the right choice. She may live with the guilt, but sometimes knowing someone will hate you is worth it for the right choice.

It would. To me, it's proof he's broken, unless he spontaneously decides to abandon people. I've done things wrong, if I hadn't I wouldn't be dead. But if I were to "graduate" I wouldn't credit this place for pointing out whatever tactical errors I made.

[Private] lifeafterhope October 1 2011, 05:36:39 UTC

Yes. When it really has to be done, it's always worth it. [Although she enjoyed it a little bit more than she's admitting. It was Arthas, even if it wasn't her Arthas.]

What would you credit for it, if you did?

E. W. F. Tomlin once said that love was not consolation, but light. I'm not particularly religious but I can see how affection for a cause or affection for a person can lead someone to a feeling of fulfilment. At the very least, that.

[Private] lifeafterhope October 1 2011, 20:51:40 UTC

I don't think fulfillment is what they want from us.

[Private] majorum_pride October 1 2011, 20:53:43 UTC

I think even if it were, it's an impossible concept. At least in my case.

[Private] lifeafterhope October 1 2011, 21:21:02 UTC

And in mine... so long as I'm kept here.

[Private] majorum_pride October 1 2011, 21:24:06 UTC

Even if I were to leave, I have a number of reasons why it would, and should be beyond me.

Still, if anyone graduates and is the better for it, it will be due to the people they know.

[Private] lifeafterhope October 1 2011, 21:30:08 UTC

[long pause, then, reluctantly:] There are some people who probably would be better for it.

But not all.

[Private] majorum_pride October 2 2011, 02:46:17 UTC

Some of us would have been better left to the fate we chose.

[Private] lifeafterhope October 2 2011, 03:18:15 UTC

Yes.

[Private] majorum_pride October 2 2011, 07:22:11 UTC

One must be a realist in these situations.

But I believe you could, if you managed to return, still do a considerable amount of good. I'm an individualist but I am not royalist nor capitalist. Too much power weakens you rather than strengthens you, and after encountering Arthas I've seen the toll that fear of losing that power, or being undeserving of it takes in your homeland.
