WHAT THE HELL. I take a break from the computer for a while to deal with some things and I come back to my best friend getting named as a SAGE?!??!? I mean... fucking hell. I haven't checked through many updates.... so behind on updates.... fuck, I mean.... it's one hell of a Title and I'm proud of her. I always said she was something special and I guess you guys see it too. She saved me from my own black abyss way back when.... and I know she'll do her best to uphold the responsibility given to her. But.... Sage? Come on, hun, SAGE??? THAT track record?!?! The only one who's come out of it still REMOTELY sane is in fact Maduin himself and he was nuts to begin with!!
Speaking of which: Maduin, I may have to kill you for this.
Fuck. My best friend... I still can't believe it. I can't decide if it's good news or terrifying news. If anyone can help to put this train back on its tracks, she's definitely one of them but... I'm scared for her.
I've made a promise now and, no matter what she says, I'm sticking to it. If she wants to be a shield to protect the Community to the best of her ability, then I'll set myself as the nutcase that'll protect her so she can. We may be separate now but... each day as it comes. She won't follow the path laid by the other Sages. I won't let that happen. Sage and Kay, I wish you the best but I don't know either of you so, honestly, I can't wish you more than that. Hakurei.... hun, you'll never be a Fighter. I won't let you have that burden. No matter where it lands me and it may not mean much in the end but.... I have your back.
Oh, and to make a bad day worse - a heads-up to the Community. I was wrong. Morningstar is NOT dead. The names of the "terrorists" were made public earlier today - Luke Cifer was NOT among them. Guess the Mounties aren't as badass as I pegged them as.
Surprise, surprise.
I think the world would be a better place if more people had friends like you.
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting.
I... god, Michelle, it'll be alright. As alright as it CAN be, anyway. A title doesn't have any meaning except the one I give it, and Kay put it best - I have no plans for martyrdom.
ReplyDeleteI'll be fine. I'm always fine. I'm more worried about you.
@Timeless: Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Morningstar: Sometimes. But can you blame me? You're weak and you really do amount to nothing, so I figured you'd have a death to match. Like I said, I was wrong. You still amount to nothing, but I suppose you'll have to be put down another way. Go plunge off Niagara Falls in barrel. You'll like it.
@Hakurei: It will be alright - no other choice there - and, to be sure, I'll stand by the promise I made. Hun, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. I'm sorry for disappearing for a bit, but it's nothing. Promise.
The Mad Ventriloquist thinks that Mitch is a good friend. Friendships are important. The Mad Ventriloquist had friends once. He is pretty sure he did not make that up.
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Ventriloquist wishes Mitch well in protecting Hakurei Ryuu, and does not blame her for the accidental not really death mistake of Morning Star. He has had similar things happen.
Mitch thinks the Mad Ventriloquist (damn that is hard to spell) is a good kind of weird. Thanks, I guess. I may be nothing special, I may not be "good", but "loyal" is something I try to stick close to.
ReplyDeleteI think I like you, Mitch. Your courage to stand up for this friend of yours is quite honorable of you. Not to mention. Your anger is rather..dare I say it, entertaining?
ReplyDeleteI admit I don't know much about Sages and that stuff but I admire your heart to stand up and fight this thing and stick it by your friend as well. If I had a friend I'd like to say I'd do the same but for now it's just me and the Water.
