michael corner is reluctantly growing up (mlcorner) wrote in pandorarpg,

Michael remembered now why he didn't like Divination. People saw these things and decided that if it was completely pointless to even try to fight. Michael had tried to ignore the war once and he'd seen where that had got him. Death. Destruction. He'd never make the mistake of inaction again because if there was one certainty, it was that doing nothing would definitely insure that you would let someone die and he wasn't going to let that happen again. If he had to keep Lavender alive himself because she was too bloody stubborn to take care of her own future, he'd damned well do it and willingly too. Michael did not know what his usefulness was in this world at the moment, but he did know that he was at least good enough to help others who might be more important to this world than himself, so he'd gladly risk his life for them and not think twice about it.

Michael sat down next to her, quiet for a long time. Finally he spoke quietly, saying, "So that's it? That's all Divination does for you? You find out something bad is going to happen and you give up? It's inevitable so you don't do a bloody thing about it?" He shook his head, looking forward instead of at her. "I don't know about you, but I make my own sodding future; I don't let some cards tell me how my fate is going to pan out. I've got a brain, I've got two hands, I've got a brilliant group of friends who want to figure this shite out and change it and that's what I plan to do.

"You say it doesn't matter what we do, but it does. It will always matter, Lavender. Because doing something will always give us a chance of changing the outcome, whereas doing nothing will surely make your cards right. If that is what you're trying to do then fine, give up, but that isn't the Lavender that I knew. That isn't the Lavender who was making the database and trying to find the connections between the nightmares and the spots. It's been life or death for us before, Lavender, but you didn't quit then; I just can't believe that you would do that now."
