Would anyone be terribly offended if I dubbed the station Texas?

	I'm fine with being honest and naked. I'm deadly either way, but I don't know how to not be soft and honest. You don't have a fate like his, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I would say distance helps, but it really doesn't.

Like my father's? Or like John's? I can't really say. I've never been tempted to look. For a long while, I kept getting told I was going to die for John or that I was going to lay down my life for the League. If it is a natural death then it will have to wait nearly a thousand years, my people can live a very long time. As for hell, well, John has tried his best to make sure my soul hasn't been claimed, but my father's wasn't. His soul was trapped by a demon as he was trying to pass into the afterlife, I am much more well known to demonkind than he was. For the moment they seem more interested in possessing me than taking my soul.

	I'll just have to form a thicker skin, probably. But the question is, do I want to? How old are you now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A difficult question. Let me know when you figure it out. I recently turned 35. I met John when I was 18, I'm not certain if that's physically aged me or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I don't John's going to stay busy. But if I do there is a high probability that I'll be alone for the rest of my life. Well you look marvelous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

At least if he's busy with you and Gen he can't get into too much trouble, I say like I haven't watched him burn his life down more than once.

As for being alone, I've essentially made that choice. It is largely the right one for me but it isn't for everyone. If it isn't what you want then you're going to have to do something about it, even if it's hard. I think you already know that though.

Thank you. You're quite incredible yourself.

	I'd rather he be busy with Gen, his chance at happiness. I thought I had made the choice too. I had my first try at monogamy since I became a vampire and it screwed that choice up. Thank you. I'm sorry that you have to live so long. It's not fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do wish him luck, and that he doesn't get in his own way when it comes to her and the chance he has. I'm sorry. I likely won't, not with the life I live and with the giant target on my back. But there are a few people, my father included, who died so that I might go on. I feel like I owe it to them to do as much good as I can before my end comes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I... did talk to her. Told her it's going to be work, but he's worth it. I only hope she'll listen. If only I had known I would have a weakness for the smell of Silk Cut and Gin. What you need is a look-a-like that knows how to fight just as well as you do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She's very sweet. ~~Loving John never gets easier, you should know that~~

You should have seen him in the mohawk, punk jacket, cheap beer and scent of stale vomit phase. Whenever I need to deflate my ego a little I remind myself that I excitedly did tantric magic with that.

I can make duplicates of myself, no problem. I do it quite a lot really, unfortunately, my magic lights up like a beacon if someone is looking for it. And even more unfortunately I can't synchronicity wave travel the way John does so I'm largely on my own.

	She is. They seem like they would be good for each other. Oh the things I didn't know.... You know he's probably cursing the fact that we're talking right now. Duplicates are different with everyone that can make them. Do you feel their pain? Do they return to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private backwardstalk 2020-05-25 05:03 am UTC (link)
	I really hope he's sweating at the thought of it, he's had it coming for a while. They're more like projections, though they can be solid enough if I focus. It all depends on how much concentration I'm using and how many duplicates I want there to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least it's not two women that hate him. In my world I have a thrall. She looks just like me except her red is a shade off, and her eyes are more hazel. And she's Irish. But she keeps me safe, and I keep her safe. If you can afford it, you might want to consider. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Back home I'm a relatively famous stage magician and author, not to mention a former member of the Justice League. I have good security for lower threats, magic for worse ones, even so I don't know if I could do that. That would potentially be another person dying for me and I don't think I could stomach that again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not saying they should be untrained. At the very least it gives you eyes in the back of your head. My thrall can't swing a sword as fast as I can, but she can take someone's head off with one pretty quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Should I worry about needing one here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private brynhild_ingouf 2020-05-26 04:38 am UTC (link)
	No, should you ever find trouble here, nearly everyone here has your back. Simply because you live here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm happy to know that at least. I was surprised by how many offered to help pull John from hell, but it makes sense now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private brynhild_ingouf 2020-05-26 06:09 am UTC (link)
	Some of them were people who care about him, but some were just because the 'you can't mess with one of us' thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
