This is August. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Unless you're a jackass who decided to track down my personal info instead of using the business number, in which case fuck you.

[Just annoying at his worst...it's a little reassuring to hear that]

Not exactly. I went to the party at the Madrigals earlier today. They treat their powers like miracles, so I thought maybe their house could give me some insight on what's going on with me.

I managed to jog a memory, something about how the expectation for me is to "do what must be done".

I got the sense that the sentiment isn't followed up with a "within reason".

[drewthetower]

oh fun.

well you know if you tried to "do what must be done" and didn't follow that up with a "within reason" I'd send Julian after your ass so don't worry about turning into that kinda person

[whiteshroud]

[A pause]

That's a nice sentiment, I suppose.

Just...what if I stopped caring about "within reason"? Or what if I do, but I don't live up to that expectation?

[drewthetower]

if you stopped caring about "within reason", we'd have a problem and I'd probably call an exorcist just to make sure YOU didn't get turned into a demon or w/e. you're a good guy, Jun

but what do you mean, live up to that expectation?

[whiteshroud]

[August ;o;]

Ha, assuming any exorcists survived dealing with Rean's furby organ. [Look a joke! It's jun] Thanks August.

I'm not sure. If I was given this power with some expectation to fulfill, what happens if I don't fulfill whatever is expected of me?

I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it.

[drewthetower]

probably yeah. if whoever or whatever decided to give us these powers expect us to be like

actually productive members of society with them or w/e

that is on THEM and their stupidity

[whiteshroud]

[.....]

Did you just call God stupid?

[drewthetower]

no I called any being who thinks humans will just. be productive and live up to their expectations stupid and if God is omniscient that means He knows better

[whiteshroud]

[a pause]

This feels like projection.

Did someone tell you to be more productive August?

[drewthetower]

no

[A delay.]

okay so maybe some cranky asshole is getting pissed because it takes time to sew shit and they don't wanna wait that long but that has nothing to do with this

[whiteshroud]

Oh, well. If you're sure.

[Just checking!! He pauses]

When a being grants you power, it usually comes with strings attached. I guess I'm just have some concerns to what the strings attached to mine might be.

[drewthetower]

only if you agree to it. if they just shove it at you then they can't expect fuck all

[whiteshroud]

That's the thing. What if my other self did agree to it?

[drewthetower]

you're not him

[whiteshroud]

Are you sure?

[drewthetower]

duh. you have friends that guy didn't for one

[whiteshroud]

[....]

Are you implying I have no friends in my other life?

[drewthetower]

no?? just that the friends you have now are different??

Jun you're doing that thing where you take the worst possible option from the list

[whiteshroud]

[August hit the nail on the head with that one, and Jun realizes that. It's a bad habit of his. ]

You're right, I'm sorry. Dammit.

[drewthetower]

it's okay, not like you do it on purpose and today clearly sucked.

[whiteshroud]

Yeah...the food was good though.

[So the party had that going for it!! He pauses]

You ever see the Final Destination movies?

[drewthetower]

nope. if I wanna travel I needed to not grow up terrified of planes and shit. why?

[whiteshroud]

I see. Well in those movies, the characters do something to cheat death, and then the rest of the movie things to keep trying to kill them in order to correct it.

What if what's happening to us is because we deviated from some intended course?

[drewthetower]

like what, getting run through with a giant fuck off bone sword?

wait did I tell you about that

[whiteshroud]

What the fuck?

No! What happened?!
