056 - Pretending Truth or Dare never happened...

[major_west]

I thought that hangover would never go away...

I feel as though I've exhausted the possibilities for recreation here. I almost wish there were another port, flood, anything to break the tedium. I can't believe I'm asking this... Does anybody have a board game?

Nevermind that. I'm not that desperate yet.

I just need... to get away something to do here before I go completely mad. Something more to strive for than 'don't try to kill anybody for X amount of days'.



What's the point of this?

Yours doesn't have any; why should mine?

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

That seems to be how you regard everybody in your life.

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

What is that supposed to mean?

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

It means you are possessive.

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

And you are deluded. You can't fault me for wanting her safe.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

And the only way she can stay safe is if you isolate her from her friends? Of course. You may have better results if you simply cripple her.

[Private]

Don't be perverse. If that man were capable of doing his job, she never would have been harmed.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, because there is such a significant change from when he is here and when he isn't.

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

How can there be? When she behaves as though it's her responsibility to take up the slack in his absence?

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

So why is his being here such a fucking problem?

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

He's just one more distraction.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

He's her friend. Why don't you just explain your problem to him rather than try to keep her isolated!

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I tried before he conveniently vanished and forgot everything again.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Then try it again.

[Private]

I intend to! Do you think I would have been foolish enough to submit myself to such an intimate conversation with him while that dreadful flood was upon us?

I was driven nearly out of my head when Romana came to my chambers during; I can't imagine what things might have been stolen past my lips had he come as well!

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well... you did tell her you needed to see her.

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

...I panicked.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I see. That's... unfortunate.

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

It was a deeply stupid maneuver on my part, I'll admit. The lengths I had to go to in order to just stop her questioning me --!

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

...what lengths?

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Swear you won't tell a soul.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I... swear?

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

...I made myself cry.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

...



....ah.

It worked; she stopped asking questions and wouldn't leave me alone for the rest, but I have no idea how women can do it so regularly. Makes my head hurt.
