Your quote of the day...

"But goodness alone is never enough. A hard cold wisdom is required, too, for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom invariably accomplishes evil."
- Robert Heinlein

And to make this entry a little more interesting than just that... Ask me a question. One question, whatever you like. Ask and I will answer, as truthfully as I am

Only one? How did you help Reilly? I'd like to know, in case there's ever...another emergency.

Re: [locked to Norman]

Well, you can ask more. There's just no guarantee that I'll answer truthfully. I talked with him -- just that. Just with Reilly, the other aspects not interfering. He was... distressed, unhappy with the state of certain affairs. I convinced him, as much as I could, that things weren't as bad as they seemed, and that certain options he'd dismissed out of hand were... more feasible than he'd made himself think.

Nothing much more, really.

*laughs, nervously* Distressed, really? You think? ...Sorry. So you just talked -- like, in his mind? 'Cause Hornhead didn't look that chatty to me.

I guess that's good. Nice to know we won't have to go to the Nexus to if something happens. Not that I'm not grateful, but you know better than anyone what I put him through that night. I'm not doing that to him again.

You say that like I can be sure you're telling me the truth now. No offense.

Essentially, yes. It would have been rather more complicated if Murdock hadn't been helping, of course.

Come now. Do I look like the sort of man... shaped... creature who would break the sacred trust of a recycled internet truth-meme?

Re: [locked to Norman]

[webstunner]

Of course you do! On opposite day.

Actually...you do look a lot someone I'd trust with an internet meme, at least. Oh, but alas! The resemblance is only skin deep.

((Arrgh, I'll have continue this tomorrow. Night!))

Re: [locked to Norman]

[osborn_journals]

'Alas!' indeed. Those poor meme-spreaders, they knew not what havok their innocent works would wreak, when corrupted by villains such as I.

(...also, I feel you should know that the use of that icon is extremely disconcerting. Just -- for the record.)

((Night! Sleep well. :D And if he can't actually see the icon, I can certainly delete.))

Re: [locked to Norman]

[webstunner]

What a tangled web we weave when first learn to, uh, not decieve?

(...you can see my icons? Oh! Oh. It doesn't work that way on this end. This -- this is going to disturb me than it disturbs you, old man.)

((Thank you, I did! And, argh, I didn't even consider that...but I don't mind, it works! May has said she can't see people's usernames, so why would she be able to see their icons?))

Re: [locked to Norman]

[osborn_journals]

Or just 'look at the damn mess you get when you try to un-tangle all of it.' Perhaps.

(I can indeed. And for both our sakes, I will say nothing else on the topic.)

((Well, I figure they can be seen on journal entries/text access, anyway. Seeing as... they're supposed to be about the same as we see them. I usually don't factor it in, even so, but that particular icon... Something had to be said. XD))

Re: [locked to Norman]

[webstunner]

That's a good one.

(And that's probably best.)

((But of course! One must make an exception for such special occassions.))

Re: [locked to Norman]

[osborn_journals]

Indeed. On both counts.
