Plan [14]: Yikes.

[nowarstowin]

There's something terribly disconcerting about shooting people. In the head. Even if it's for their own benefit. Even though it was mostly symbolic, I hope to never need to do such a thing again.It's ... too calm, lately. I should have the schedule for the patrols organized and posted. Anyone new willing to help out is quite welcome. We're

Shootings an easy way to kill.

[nowarstowin]

I know that; that's why the Howling Voice Guild was so fond of guns. I'd never even held one before.

This was to heal, and to test theories, though. I didn't kill anyone.

[compos_mentis]

Heh. Obviously. Your eyes don't look like they should if you did.

[nowarstowin]

Is that in reference to holding guns or killing people?

[azerosknight]

You alright?

[nowarstowin]

I'm fine, Karen, thanks for asking.

Just a bit of symbolic angst, I think.

[azerosknight]

That's good. Oh! I wanted to thank you before. I appreciated your help.

Hm? -wants you to explain further-

[nowarstowin]

Ah, you're most welcome. I hope you're doing much better, now.

Well, it involves one of the others here, so I don't want to be too specific. But ... the act was rather symbolic of destroying his outer personality..? At least, that's how it feels to me. I like the kid. And of course, thinking through the analogy, killing off that person to awaken a more efficient war machine strikes a little too close to my conscience for me to just shrug it off. That's all.

..I'm sorry for doing that to you...

Can I help out with the patrols?

[nowarstowin]

Ah, don't worry about it, Ken. It was my thoughts that led to it in the first place, remember? I didn't have to say yes. I was just a little ... startled. I think, mostly, the symbolism of "killing" the personality of the Ken that is my friend was more disturbing than anything else.

Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

I guess I am so used to it, I forgot that other people are not. I should be more careful.

No problem, I have finally been able to see which abilities I still have and found out how they have been limited.

[nowarstowin]

Hey, hey, it's not your fault, Ken. Like Aya says, I just think too much. ♥

That's good! Are you still feeling pretty confident about them?

[goldenfirefly]

Caesar... Are you alright?

And I should tell you that Mission: Convince Senel To Join Me on the Patrols is a huge success. ♥

[nowarstowin]

I'm fine, Stella. Seems I worried everyone a bit more than I'd meant.

Good to hear! And be careful, Stella -- I don't know what the Malnosso have planned, but I don't like it.

[goldenfirefly]

Well, I tend to worry a little more about you than I should. ♥

And you be careful too, Caesar. Who knows what a giant pink heart is supposed to mean...

[nowarstowin]

Worrying will only make your hair go grey, Stella. ♥

I'll be careful. I have no idea; they left no clues. Perhaps it has to do with this Valentine's Day I've heard people talking about..?
