With what- as in what was the curse? Why- as in what joke did you play? When was this?

OH, HE ASKED IF ANYONE HAD KIDS AND I SAID THAT THAT HADN'T GONE SO WELL FOR HIM, HUH.

What was the curse?
tetractys: (R DRHS R XLFOW HVV BLF)

[personal profile] tetractys 2018-06-15 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
I HAD A TEMPORARY CONSCIENCE!

[Bill frowns. It's bitter and distant, focused on something much older than the past two days.]

YEAH, I KNOW. BOO HOO, THE HUMAN CONDITION.

...I DON'T WANT IT HAPPENING AGAIN. IF YOU CAN RECOMMEND A BOOK, I'LL JUST TRY TO TEACH THE DUMB GENIUS SOME MAGIC RESISTANCE MYSELF.

You say you want to get out of here, but you want to do it without developing a conscience?

I KNOW THIS WHOLE SHIP IS BENT ON THE IDEA THAT I CAN'T GET OUT WITHOUT BEING BOTHERED BY THE FACT THAT I HAVE SOME PIECES MISSING. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ASHAMED OF THAT! BUT I DIDN'T GET TO PICK THE WAY I THINK, I'VE JUST ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY! MY ONLY CHOICE WAS WHETHER OR NOT I WAS GOING TO BE OKAY WITH IT.

IMAGINE GOING A TRILLION YEARS WITHOUT HATING YOURSELF AND THEN SUDDENLY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN, AND THAT EVERYONE THAT WANTS YOU DEAD PROBABLY HAD A BETTER GRASP ON THE SITUATION THAN PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU ALIVE!

I'LL PASS ON ANOTHER ROUND!

I want you alive. And having lived a few millenia, I think I have a better grasp on the situation than most.

But I definitely believe you could do a little more hating of the way you have sometimes behaved.

YEAH, WELL, I'D BE DEAD BY NOW IF I HADN'T KILLED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE TO CLIMB THE LADDER. I WOULDN'T HAVE MET YOU, I WOULDN'T EVEN BE BILL, BECAUSE I ONLY TOOK THAT NAME LIKE TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

I DON'T SEE ANY KIND OF POINT IN FEELING BAD ABOUT STUFF THAT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT, AND THAT INCLUDES THE PAST!

[personal profile] magician_king 2018-06-16 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that is something I'm sincerely sorry to hear.
tetractys: (R DRHS R XLFOW HVV BLF)

[personal profile] tetractys 2018-06-16 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH, WELL. ME TOO.

So what the fuck is up with you and Ford?
tetractys: (RG'H GSV MZGFIZO HVOVXGRLM)

[personal profile] tetractys 2018-06-17 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
UGH, WHAT ISN'T UP?

THIS IS JUST THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF THINGS I HAVE TO DEAL WITH NOW! APPARENTLY HIS SAFETY IS MY SAFETY IN THE HANDS OF WHOEVER KNOWS HOW TO EXPLOIT THAT CONNECTION. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHICH COMMON THREAD I'D NEED TO SEVER, AND IF IT WAS THE UNIVERSE SIGNATURE I'M OUT OF LUCK!

[personal profile] magician_king 2018-06-17 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I would start there.

Who's your warden right now?

LUKE SKYWALKER.

NICE KID! BRIGHTER THAN THE MOVIES MADE HIM LOOK.

Ask him to ask the Admiral if he can sever you from Ford.

[personal profile] tetractys 2018-06-17 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
HUH! YOU KNOW, I DON'T TRUST HIM, BUT IF HE MESSES IT UP THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS NOTHING!

YEAH, GOOD IDEA! I'LL TALK TO HIM. THANKS, Q!

I mean, just be polite about it and make a strong case. Your being tangled up with that family seems like it's never been a good thing for you, and it'd probably help if you weren't.
tetractys: (RG'H GSV MZGFIZO HVOVXGRLM)

[personal profile] tetractys 2018-06-18 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH, YOU'D THINK I'D GET OUT WHILE THE GETTING WAS GOOD.

THERE'S A LOT OF DUMB PROPHECY STUFF INVOLVED. PROPHECIES ARE A TERRIBLE IDEA. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO FREE WILL, HUH?

[he loves prophecies about himself winning and hates all the ones about him being dead]
