* { a little, but… there’s not much i can do about it. i don’t have any jurisdiction over him, nor can i see what he’s up to. }
* { …. he uh, did. leave his phone here, though, but…… i’m. sure he’ll be fine. }
* { a little, but… there’s not much i can do about it. i don’t have any jurisdiction over him, nor can i see what he’s up to. }
* { …. he uh, did. leave his phone here, though, but…… i’m. sure he’ll be fine. }
* { i’ll…. i’ll think about it. }
* { after flaps is back to normal. ;; }
* { i think a lot of it that i was scared. and…. actively trying to push people away, i guess? }
* { i didn’t like being awake. i didn’t like being aware of things again, but i figured that if i had to stay awake, i could at least try to actively go after the big threats in the void. }
* { and maybe that if i was too aggressive about it, maybe i’d be forced back into being dormant. or. something. i don’t know. i wasn’t happy back then and it’s still hard for me to not want to go back to not being actively around. }
* { i’d like to clarify that we weren’t “kissing asses”, at any point. we’d been trying to avoid conflict. }
* { there were a couple people who lived here who made some particularly rude comments towards geist, and i’ll admit, it was wrong of us to say nothing – neither of us hated him at that point, but as more time went on past that it just got harder for flaps to come talk to him about it. }
* { those people don’t live here anymore, though, and i’d rather not delve into who they were or what was said. }
* { as for why i haven’t talked to him myself – what would i even say? i joined the chat and as soon as he saw he voiced his disdain for me, it’s not like i can just go “hey i’m sorry i killed you twenty some-odd times” }
* { he hates me for what i’ve done, and what i am, and what i have the ability to do. and i don’t blame him for that. i want to talk to him, yeah, but nothing i say would affect how he feels about me. }
* { i don’t really know. i guess i kinda have to just… deal with things as they go, you know. some things i’m not allowed to block. }
* { the last time he found out about repressed/removed memories we all nearly died. }
* { so i’d like to avoid that, yeah. }
( I AM…. and i know cheebs is too! 😛 it’s fun to pester that old purple fart, lmao. )
* { i guess so. i do try, but like… i don’t want to absolve myself of things by being like, “oh i’ve moved on, they’re the ones who suck for not doing the same” }
* { because it doesn’t really work like that, you know? at the very least i’d like to just… i dont know. if people have an issue with me, fine, so be it, i just. don’t want it thrown at me whenever i so much as show up somewhere. }
* { ugh. this feels like i’m going back and forth too much,,, i don’t want to fault anyone for being upset or afraid but i also just, want to be left alone if i’m not going out of my way to talk to someone, i guess? i don’t know. }
* { they hate and fear me for damn good reason and i’m not about to sit here and act the victim over it. }
* { like, yes! it hurts like hell. yes, it’s isolating. yes, i wish it wasn’t the way it is – but because of who and what i am, there’s always going to be people who are afraid of me. for what others like me have done. }
* { and i’m not in a position to fault someone for being afraid like that. i’ve made my mistakes, i’ve hurt people. i’m not completely innocent. i’m still learning. }
* { acting like i do no wrong and that everyone who says otherwise is just “a hater” is only going to end poorly. it’s a harsh criticism, but it’s a needed one. i do have a lot of power, and i need to make sure i keep that fact in mind. so that i don’t abuse it anymore. }
* { i hope so…. making friends with everyone isn’t super attainable, though, we’ve come to realize that. }
* { not everyone is going to like us, or get along with us. it wasn’t smart of us to try and keep forcing it, you know. }
* { being amicable with others is a lot more attainable. }
