93. [Voice, and a flash of video]

Apr 06, 2011 17:24

I had a really... strange dream last night. Something I don’t really remember, but... something about dolls and... no, marionettes and... puppet strings? I don’t know. Part of me wants to say it comes from not being used to the Headquarters, now. And my new room, and my new bed. ...not that those things are bad! I just... it takes getting ( Read more... )

The dream you had sounds familiar, I can barely remember it but, it sounds like what I dreamt about.

But I disagree while our emotions can hurt us, they can also boost us up. We're connected. all of us. We weren't born to always suffer and we can't. But we can't stay still either. We have to keep moving, because we're alive. It does hurt, but we can get past it. Especially if we have friends and family to help us through.

I don't think a perfect leader is one that can't feel. I think half of what makes a leader who they are is their emotions and their emotional strength. And I don't think there's a leader that exists that doesn't have doubts, regrets, and worries.

[Voice] yetsleeping April 6 2011, 22:27:11 UTC

You remind me of someone I know. I mean, besides you. ...although you remind me of you, too!

[That probably wasn't helpful.]

I was talking to Kunsel the other day... you probably don't know him yet. But he's a very nice man. He said something a lot like that.

I think you'd get along.

[Voice] skywarddream April 7 2011, 09:18:45 UTC

I do?

[It wasn't but she's here to listen and help.]

I don't know him yet. But as I said, I don't think getting rid of emotions makes a leader. Often times what makes a leader, is what they do with their emotions and caring for others. Wanting to make things better.

[Voice] yetsleeping April 7 2011, 10:56:00 UTC

I guess it depends on what you think a leader does. Or, is.

I don't know. I would say a person, whatever their status and whatever their role, is... made by their behavior. And their behavior can come from anything, really.

I would walk with you to the end of the mist.

[But she wouldn't share your wish, Priscilla. She has her own reasons. Maybe wishes, themselves.]

[voice] yetsleeping April 6 2011, 22:52:49 UTC

[Right, that really rubbed her the wrong way, coming from you.]

...I'm sure you would. But please don't take offense at my complete lack of desire to spend that much time walking with you.

[voice] /scoops up the stray italic halcyonthird April 6 2011, 23:27:33 UTC

[Are you really that sure? She doubts you could guess at her reasoning, or even begin to care.]

I take no offense, it is as I expected.

[A long pause.]

No. That is untrue. There is offense, but it doesn't lie with you.

[voice] ...what IS her reasoning, because Pris isn't going to ask, HAHA yetsleeping April 6 2011, 23:49:12 UTC

Yes, there's a great deal of offense. Of the... not me type.

A good leader must have a good heart. [ Mei is stubborn about this. It makes her a little sad you think this at all, Priscilla. ]

You have to feel... or the people that follow you will suffer.

[ video ] yetsleeping April 6 2011, 23:16:17 UTC

Do you think so?

[Priscilla doesn't. But she doesn't want to argue with a child.]

[Voice] musketsandtea April 7 2011, 00:37:40 UTC

...The head and heart should be equal, don't you think?

[Why yes, this hits a little close to home.]

[Voice] yetsleeping April 7 2011, 01:12:47 UTC

[A little pause.]

No.

[Well, it's honest.]

[Voice] musketsandtea April 7 2011, 01:22:55 UTC

But feelings are what separates us from the monsters we fight. Feelings are what make us different. How can someone be a leader without feeling?

[Voice] yetsleeping April 7 2011, 01:42:43 UTC

I don't really believe that. I mean... who's to say that the monsters we fight don't have feelings? The ones from my world do.

I would say... what separates us is what we do. And what we are.

[Bypassing that emotional monologue.]

Hello, Priscilla.

Apparently, the Scorched haven't slept well, the past night or so. Strange dreams seem to be going around, and it may be mist related. Could you elaborate on yours, for the sake of public record?

Voice yetsleeping April 7 2011, 01:17:14 UTC

I don't remember it very well.

But it isn't that surprising. We've had shared nightmares before. ...it was a long time ago, but... it doesn't really surprise me.

[Txt] isfinethanks April 7 2011, 01:26:11 UTC

You said something about marionettes and puppet strings.

Voice yetsleeping April 7 2011, 01:41:29 UTC

Yes, that's about all I-- you don't respect privacy very well, do you?
