Life sucks again.

Whole can of worms opened at work and now Scott's ex Ramona has turned up to fight me to the death. Talk about your PMS. Excuse me while I prepare to battle for my life.
Oh for the days of celibacy. Although I must admit the perks are good.
If I die, the grave stone better say "Phoebe 'Cookie' Rosa Calvert --Buried Alive

Thanks for the compliments, but all the same I'd rather you didn't die. Do you need some help? Let me know. Just because I'm in Chile doesn't mean I'm unreachable.

Apparently where Scott comes from, there's this rule where you have to duel the ex-partners of your current partner to the death. Now his ex-girlfriend has turned up. And she wants me dead. If I don't kill her, she'll kill me.

If I win...

I know my capabilities more than anyone else. I've never stretched how far I could go and you're possibly the only person who could understand why. I'm afraid that killing someone will send me over the edge. And you know as well as I do a crazy pyrokinetic is a very bad thing.

A) That's insane.

B) That's INSANE. *is suddenly grateful she's dating a guy formerly possessed by a serial killer, which somehow pales in comparison*

All right. If you feel that you have to do this, which, Scott had better be absolutely amazing or I'll fry his ass, I'll tell you what I can...

You need a touchstone. Something to keep you grounded. For me it happens to be pain. The last time I almost lost it--when Walter found me--I bit a chunk out of my palm and that gave me control. I hope for you it's something less extreme. Anything that reminds you that something exists outside you and the fire.

Stretching how far you can go will probably not be necessary. I leveled a city block without trying.

Taking a life will change you. Know that. I can't tell you how it will or how much, but there is no way around that.

I'll help you if I can. Remember that you don't have to do this.

Even if I split up with him, I still get the feeling she'd come after me.

*sighs* I don't know. Everything is so...muddled. Patchwork Earth is being attacked, my life is being threatened, the lives of my friends are being threatened, there's a chance I could go crazy...

God, and I remember it was this, working for O-Ren Ishii or Lupa Raina. And I thought this would be the safer option. *shakes head* I hate irony.

But thanks, Liz.

Good. It's probably best if you say nothing.

[angelical_azi]

Oh my word. *flounders and sputters* This...you...bloody ineffability!

And we can't do anything? Anything at all?

[tough_cookie_]

Absolutely nothing, Az.

[angelical_azi]

*sighs and pinches his nose*

Give me a second here.

*goes off*

[tough_cookie_]

Um...okay?

[moviespider]

Thanks for that Cookie.

*hugs*

[tough_cookie_]

*hugs back* Yeah, well...s'true.
