Dear readers,

It has been a sad weekend here as I lost a dear dear friend and companion, small as he was. Truly, the size and species of a friend makes no difference in the amount of love that he can give you, or that you can return to him. My Danton was killed, untimely, in an unfortunate accident. D'artagan and his kitten were here, and well. One can imagine. No, D'artagnan, I am not actually pissed at either of you. I am sad and disappointed, but I know it WAS an accident.

One thing that HAS been on my mind though is the way that Danton enriched my life, and well, the things that I have learned from him. I think that they can serve me well as I move through life, keeping a few things in mind.

( Lessons from my Chinchilla )

Danton, you may not have been with me long, but I have learned from, and have loved you, and the things you taught are things that even humans can and should take to their hearts. Farewell my friend, my brother. I shall miss you but am glad that you've found peace. A good life, one full of meaning is to be celebrated and cherished, and I will remember what I've learned from you and carry it forth into my life.

In other, hopefully less depressing new, have any of my readers heard from frost-bitten rose, who collaborated with me on the amazing events written about here (link). It has been some time since I have heard from her or seen a post and I am beginning to grow concerned.

[Text to Apollon Enjolras]
Hey, Orange Julius!

>>Well.
>>Think I get what freaked you out this winter.
>>You have MORE than proved your worth to me and to the cause, brother.
>>That you came to find Patria and a love for her inspires me
>>Even with the pain of your death.
>>Thank you for not making me face the squad alone
>>I...we should see each other soon. It's been a while. Can you do dinner this week?

( Grantaire )

When I dreamed of our plan to save some of those who were the sole supporters of women or children, Cosette's father provided us with another National Guard uniform, so that we were able to save five instead of four. He looked a bit older there, but age did take a greater toll in that era.

>>Hey. I kinda uh...
>>Since we talked about sex and stuff that time and you didn't mind
>>I've got a question relating to...that.
>>Is it possible for someone like me to uh...
>>Have a crush on someone?
>>Even though I'm not sexual?
>>Like I know I can be romantic still but...
>>This is weird. Crushes imply more physical, which this isn't...
>>I'm confused.

>>Hey Joly?

>>How much blood does a human have to lose to bleed out?

( Joly )

( Bossuet )

I dreamt of bidding Joly and Bossuet goodbye before they went to your barricade. Before I went to rally more people to your cause.

Here, I understand that sacrifices must be made to advance the cause of human progress.

There, I could see my hands shaking as I gripped the flag.

I don't know why I seek to tell you, you'll likely have no opinion, but if I said I was unafraid, it would be a black lie.

(Enj is writing letters to Les Amis, feeling bad about that email he sent the other day and what he thinks it implies still. So, he's leaving these for various of Les Amis this week. Today, it's The Guide and Center who get them but eventually the others will too!)

>>All of you are getting this
>>But I'd like to talk to you nine one at a time.
>>There are things I need to say to each of you.
>>and reparations I hope I can start to make.
>>This level of apology is best done in person
>>So that is what I would like to do.
>>When are you all able to do this?

>>Hey. What's the deal
>>You and Sif I mean?

>>Because not cool.
>>Really not cool.
>>I don't care what you dreamed.

>>Horrific dream.
>>I...
>>Can I come to sleep with you in the second room
>>Or will you come sleep with me?
>>I need to feel you right now, hear you breathe.
>>Which is incredibly unintentionally creepy, sorry.

((Someone found voice recognition. You're also gonna be getting these in French, but again, I took Spanish so...use your imaginations, kids. I'm not giving a beautiful language the indignity of a translator service. Ferre, he's being pretty loud and kind of screaming into the phone so you might wake up))

[Enjolras]
>> I am temporarily partially moving in with you.
>> This is as much for me as it is for you.

>> I dreamed of Jehan's death.
>> I couldn't
>> There was no time, really, to ask for him in exchange for the spy once we noticed he was gone
>> But that does not male me feel any better
>> I still feel as though I -could- have done something, had I only been faster

[Courfeyrac]
>> I am camping out at Enjolras's for the foreseeable future.

>> I dreamed of Jehan's death.
>> I was going to go with a flag of truce and offer them the spy in exchange
>> But I was not fast enough
>> I'm sorry

[Les Amis]
>> I will be staying with Enjolras for a while.
>> I wanted to keep everyone in the loop.

"I have dreamed of a Republic such as all the world would have adored. I could never have believed that men could be so ferocious and so unjust."

-Camille Desmoulins

"My only regret is that I am going before that rat Robespierre."

-Georges Danton

Today, fifteen men, among them, Desmoulins and Danton were executed as a result of what were deemed to be their "counter revolutionary" views. A good thing to remember in the light of things that have been going through my mind lately, I think. Lest we condemn Robespierre or anyone else for the tactics that came later in the Revolution, we must honor their lives, their work, and their desire to improve the world, even to fix one which had stepped a bit too far out of hand. As Desmoulins himself pointed out: "My dear Robespierre... my old school friend.. Remember the lessons of history and philosophy: love is stronger, more lasting than fear."

As we seek our own revolutions today, in any day and age, let us keep those ideas, those principles in mind.

And now, a photo of my Danton, one who comes from an industry badly in need of revolution, with a biography about his namesake. (Insert photo here, with Danton wearing a little cravat). Some people say they look alike. :)

>>I have been given a dinner invitation.
>> By Yolande Polignac. She says it is non romantic but I...
>>I have no idea what to DO.
