In fairy tales or folk legends, knights always go off on these sprawling epic adventures and quests, and nobody gives a shit what happens to them in the end. They finish and go home and the story wraps, or they die. If they go home, we never know what happens to them.

I'm not saying I'm a knight or a hero. I'm just saying at the end of a lifelong quest? You get bored and you drink a lot and you start to wonder if it was worth it at all. Then you just take a nap.

Wouldn't make for very good endings to epic poems. Better to leave Ulysses sailing off and leaving his son in charge.

	You can only be an instrument of vengeance once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, but until you are, until that lustful duty is fulfilled, you've got a goal. At the very least, it's a distraction from the reason you're doing it. That is unless something halts things inevitably, at which point there's no longer anything but an unattainable ideal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's done. The thing I spent pretty much my whole life working toward, I finally did. And I thought I had another thing to spend my life working on, but she's gone now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now that is a shame. People come and go here, step on and step off without warning. I'm sure she misses you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope so. I'd never loved anyone before her. I'm Slevin, by the way. Slevin Kelevra. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And that's the problem with love. It's sublime when it's here, and nothing is ever the same again when it leaves. Eric Draven. Good to meet you. Slevin is an unusual name. It has an epic poem ring to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think she'll come back. I hope she'll come back. Eric Draven does too. Slevin Kelevra just sounds Jewish on the best of days and like a science fiction geek's lovechild on the worst. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When hope is all you have, all you can do is hope. Hah. It has a cadence to it, though! Despite its aforementioned qualities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do. Well, it should. It was chosen very carefully for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hangmans_joke 2008-09-01 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Oh? What does it mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bad dog. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your parents sound like such kind, considerate people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hangmans_joke 2008-09-01 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	I see. You know, this seems like the sort of thing better spoken of in person. There might even be a beer in it for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrong_guy 2008-09-01 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	You know, I do like beer. Where are you? I need an excuse to escape Miami anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	New York. There's a bar relatively close to where I live...[address]. I've never been there, but it seemed nice from the roof. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know New York. Be there soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
