A minute ago, I was dead in a demon bar and now I'm here. Answer seemed pretty simple. Holding hell dimension. City backdrop, people know nothing, weird ass sentinels keeping you out of places you aren't supposed to go.

Except I'm alive, not brainwashed to think I'm a nice family guy, and they don't give you PDAs with access to message boards.

What the fuck is this place? And more importantly, how do I get out of here? I've got scores to settle.

I don't know if the Elders are exactly omniscient since they're clueless about a lot of things but I get and agree with what you're saying. Okay, and I get that point too ~~Please don't ever talk to Piper. She's neurotic enough about Wyatt as it is. Now with baby Chris~~.

Can't say I've seen or heard of the Elder's breaking that many rules. Only one, but I guess where one can, they all can. I know not every rule should be followed. Believe me if they all had been, I wouldn't be here talking to you right now. I owe my birth to rule-breaking, but for the most part they're good guidelines. And not every rule follower is going to end up like a Watcher or an Elder or your powers.

Me and my coven were mostly self-taught. We didn't learn about Magic School until they really needed our help.

Oh don't worry about overdramatic. It has it's place. And when it comes to free will, I say go with it.

	It's possible they can be but there's ways of fooling them too. Just have to know where to look. I'm not saying all rules. There are some to keep to if you want to live to see another day but others...probably just something we'd have to agree to disagree on. And then you later on ended up headmistress of the school.

I think I've a few tricks up my sleeves on that front. ~~My sisters have more, of course~~

Looks like.

Yeah that, that was really unexpected. It starts off with, "Paige, teaching is the path that you must take" then it becomes a way to save the place because the vague moron who set you on said path goes evil, or all "greater good", on yeah ... Next thing you know you're being coerced by the Elders and hundreds of lost begging faces, and the head of a school.

	Always handy to have. ~~Damn ex-watchers.~~ And it was something you just couldn't say no to, right? That's a heck of a way to get hired. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchwithaplan 2009-05-23 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	I think so. Yeah, pretty much. It's not that I really wanted to say no ... I mean, I enjoy teaching. I love the school, my co-workers, the students. It's just ... running it isn't how I planned to spend the rest of my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Looks like you won't have to worry about that now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course I do. Knowing the Elders me disappearing will be just an excuse for them to close down the school and that's the very thing that I don't want. I didn't go up against them just to end up in this place and have them kick all of those kids out from the safest place that they have.

Sorry. It's just that I know the Elders and instead of doing the smart thing and look for me they're going to do what's easiest for them. Not caring who they hurt in the long run.

	I think that right there is evidence to some of the points in the conversation we just had. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchwithaplan 2009-05-23 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I do agree with you, did too. I still don't think they're omniscient though. But meddling, manipulators? Always thought they had that down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're supposed to be. They just happen to be either bad at it or lazy, maybe even both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchwithaplan 2009-05-23 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	Probably just the first one. I think it's just the air up there messing with their brains. Or maybe that "you'll better if you find out yourself" garbage. They use that one a lot. It could be that they know ... they're just mean. I'm going with mostly clueless and stingy with what they do know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stopitevilhand 2009-05-24 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Stingy would get my vote. They would probably say that if they gave us all the details, they'd be doing all the work for us and we would never learn. Or they could just back off and let us sort this all out by ourselves without outside interference. Personally, I like that idea best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If they gave us all the details, they wouldn't need us in the first place. So I take it back. Your lazy gets my vote. Needy too. Cause if they did that what would we need them for? Really? It's not like there's any connection beyond them telling us what to do and us grumbling.

You would. I'm not opposed to it myself.

You know this is the first time I've ever argued the good and bad of the supernatural world, not to mention the in between, without introducing myself. Actually ... I think this might be the first time I've done it period. At least this thoroughly.

My name is Paige. Paige Matthews. Not to be confused with Winterborn-Cortez ~~who really, really, really looks like my sister Phoebe~~

Lazy and needy higher powers. Great. We have our fates toyed around with by powerful teenagers. It's one of those things where you'd like to have a conversation with them if only it didn't get you smited the first time you disagreed.

Well, this is the first time I've argued the good and bad of the supernatural world just after coming back from the dead and being tossed out of the library. So I guess it is a day of first.

Lindsey McDonald. I'll probably be able to keep you two Paiges straight.

What's the money situation around here? Can we still access are accounts? I need at least a new shirt.

Elders aren't much for smitting ~~unless you~~. They're more likely to either stonewall you or take something away from you that you really desire. ~~Like they've done plenty of times with my sister and her husband~~ Which is really helping your teeanger theory. If it wasn't for the fact that I've seen a few elders and one of them had a really gray beard, I'd be one hundred percent behind it. Ever meet any of your Powers?

Seems like.

Just probably? Drats and here I thought that I was a distinctive Paige.

No. Sorry. You show up to a teller with your PDA and they give you one hundred bucks. Then you're on your own. But unless you're used to paying more than that for a shirt, I think you're good.

	Teenagers. Immortal teenagers. I've met the Senior Partners, though not by choice. It's something I don't talk about. Most likely. If I meet either one of you in person, I'll think I'll be able to tell which one is which. I have before, a while back, but a hundred will do me just fine. No need to dress for success. Thanks.

	That's good. Wouldn't want things becoming more confusing than they already are. No problemo. I'm just happy to be able to buy clothes that later won't be ruined by demon goo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stopitevilhand 2009-05-25 11:59 am UTC (link)
	I get that. Shopping isn't my favorite thing as it is. Replacing clothing everytime it gets torn or ruined just makes it worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchwithaplan 2009-05-25 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	I don't mind the shopping. It's the not being able to afford the constant replacing of my clothes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
