You guys okay over there?

[The writings of Shaun Mason, unpublished]
George is really good at her job. We started at the bottom and worked our way up, before we jumped to the presidential campaign and skipped the unnecessary middle parts of our profession. She's really good at her job and she takes it seriously. She built her reputation on being honest, open and full of integrity.

You never question Georgia Mason's integrity. Because if there's one thing that holds, it's exactly that. Her integrity.

It bothers me when people question it. You'd slander her because you don't have anything else worth listening to. You question it to cast doubt, but there's no foundation on anything you say. Because she's always been honest; with herself, with her audience, the people and me.

I don't like what this responsibility is doing to Georgia. It's the same crap that happens with every president and elected official in the history of elections. You get hired on to do a job and when you do your job, people hate you for it. When you fail at doing your job, people hate you for it.

They're going to hate her for doing the job they wanted her to do because she does it too well, and it's hurting her. She's been honest and full of integrity, but the moment she stops serving everyone's purposes or doesn't do what they want they're going to throw her to the dirt and stomp on her.

Fuck I hate this.

I love you, George.

24 hours have passed. I would have your answer, Knight.

All of these discussions about "protecting" and guns and magic reminds me too much of what Lucifer was doing to my world before I was brought here.

It also reminds me just how very damn alone I am here.

No offense, John and Mary, you guys have been great. It's just not the same.

( He Came Into Her Apartment//He Left The Bloodstains On The Carpet )

I'll say this publicly because it's important.

I've been reading the debates and trying not to comment on things because I know this world is not mine and I'm not a politician. We nominated three people to be our political voice and I believe that they will do their best to make this a better place for us and keep us safe. They can't do that if we get in their way.

Now then, I cannot and will not vote for gathering a protective force. I also will not advocate everyone keeping to themselves or their different worlds. We have to find a middle ground and find a way for all of us to work together.

I'm from a world where people separated into different factions and swore to be against things that they thought caused the downfall of society and humanity.

And do you know what happened? Less than two generations later, there is all out war in my world because the faction with all of the technology decided that the faction with the least material goods were getting too much food from the ones who enjoyed life and drugged the faction that had all of the weapons to slaughter the peace keepers and the ones that were expelled from any of the factions.

Oh and guess what? Most of the ones fighting in that war are people half of you and the damn council would consider to be children. I'm barely sixteen and I have had to kill my friends to keep them from killing me. I've watched families being slaughtered over the fact that they support one faction instead of another. I'm watching all of the debates on the network and it's not this place that scares me. It's the people that should be working together because we are all in the same damn situation.

I won't give you all of my information for the same reason I won't give the town's leaders all of my information. Because no matter how many people in power say it's harmless information gathering, it only takes one person to twist all of that and ruin everything by using it as a hit list.

This, I know from experience.

I'm proper weary of this place today, so I am. It's a fair terrible state of affairs when you try to take steps to protect folk and they'll not only deny it's needed but near as much as threaten you with punishment for the notion.

Sai Dixon's not going to be any help to us, either; I reckon he doesn't care to be.

'Course if trouble does come we'll stand for them anyway, in the name of the Affiliation and the White, but I'm this moment reserving the right to declare that we told them preparation would have been a fine idea, after.

I have an important announcement to make!

Coke is better than Pepsi. I've consumed enough of both now to know for sure.

Probably a bad idea, though. The computers at home probably can't handle creating it. My father told me the story of how he very nearly broke one of them trying to get Earth tea.

I'd try Earth tea here, but when I looked there were so many different kinds and I have no idea which one he meant.

I went over those papers you gave me and looked some stuff up at the library. Also did as Georgia said and looked back over the last few months of network posts.

A large percentage of the refugees are supernatural. Way more than average. Way more than twice average. What do you make of it?
