not rly mine but my wrinkly old man use to say to me: be what they fear. pain can either break u or forge u into smth greater.
and looks can be deceiving. THAT i learned here. someone can be nice, kind, gentle, sweet but when its between u and them? they will throw u to the wolves to save their own skin.
so dont trust everyone here. no matter how kind or how poetic their words can be.
He can be frustrating. There have been times I've asked a question and only gotten a partial answer like I would with Friday but ( BIG SHRUG VIBES. ) he hardly seems dangerous, and that's what I'd be more concerned about.
HARDLY dangerous?? srsly? well. guess u got lucky if u havent seen how much damage that lil fairy CAN do.
just take it from me. dont go in too deep w/ him. unless u want him to chew u up and spit u out or idk bail on u when u need him the most. i managed to get out of his twisted web. cant say the same for mizuki tho. guess hes sticking w/ him despite everything.
it doesn't even feel self important to assume she's just better than that by default. unlike jinx and mizuki, clarke looks at venti and sees a weapon to be primed, not a person to be loved. maybe the remains of godly powers that could still be gazed at with wonder. )
Gotcha. We're friendly, but not close. I'll do my best to mitigate the damage, your "trust no one" rule is good for that.
( mizuki tho... )
And... yeah. Yeah, he has a habit of sticking by the worst sort of people. I don't know what can be done about that.
yea venti and a few others abandoned me but at least im not an idiot. the diff is mizuki is stupid whose following another stupid despite how much that stupid rips his heart out over and over.
at least i have enough sense to wake up and not live in make believe land.
I'm not your enemy Jinx, but I'm not just going to roll over because you're showing your teeth. There's more important things to worry about here than what you think of me.
( well shit. holy shit, specifically. and she has so, so many questions but what immediately springs to mind — )
No matter if I like or understand the answer, he does answer my questions most of the time. I even asked, if when he says he "can't answer a question I'm afraid to speak into being", if it was can't or won't.
Maybe it's a disinterest in telling lies, maybe it's a compulsion not to.
I talked to him a little when he came with the bus. At one point he refused to answer. He seems to insist on how things "should" be, though, like you can't ask for hints until you try to guess.
That sucks, when it feels like we're still just grasping at straws and need all the hint we can get.
I... really hate not understanding magic as much as it feels like I need to...
But at least this can help going forward, right? Like Skulduggery's found a linebreak in the code, and given us a script on how to talk to the Captain next time around.
