A Personal Bitch Me Request

[acid_rayne]

So, a few replies I've had got me curious... Indulge me.

Assuming we don't have some kind of pre-existing animosity, I figure my reputation's pretty, y'know, out there. Maybe a few of you still don't know me and that's cool. Can't say I know most of you, either. But the other way around's probably got a better chance than most.

I'm known as... What? The 'violent one'? The 'angry one'? Can't say we've got a shortage of those.

Anyhow, point still stands. A lot of you know me for something, be it my charming social etiquette, my bitching or whatever. And I make the odd casual threat, here and there, no doubt.

Hey, I'm old lady - I'm entitled, man. If I was like most of you, I'd be complaining about needing a new hip or something.

But have I ever actually done something... Y'know... Bad. Like, actually evil. Outside of that other place, that is, 'cause... Everyone was crazy there.

I mean, I've got paired up now. I've got someone I need to get some kind of trust going with. What good's it going to be if he gets told by folks on the sly that, "Ooh! You've got Rayne! She's gonna' stab you with knives and call your mom names!"

So... Aside from my quick temper (and a lot of you probably remember why that is), have I ever actually crossed a line? Done something which had, like, zero justification? I'm not talking about an argument we might have had. This is about me ever doing something.

This here's an amnesty zone. You can call me on bullshit and I won't yell at you for it. I just want to know, because I'm meant to be... Setting an example and stuff.

OK, here's the thing...

Wardens get offered a deal. Like a wish. In exchange, we agree to look after one of you. We don't get to choose who. Luck of the draw.

And whyever you're here, it's something you need to change. It's our job to help you realise what, how and why. When that happens, you get to go home or become one of us and make a wish of your own.

And that's how it works.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I know all of that. I'm a warden. [Lying is so much easier in writing.] I meant why you stay.

SUSPICIOUS

[acid_rayne]

Yeah?

WHYFORE, SHE IS SO BELIEVABLE

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

That's not an answer.

I KNOW - SO PARANOID

[acid_rayne]

Well... Now you know.

My deal.

Something happened the last time I was here and I want every last trace of it gone. I'm not going into why, because it annoys me.

:CCCC

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

You were here and left?

[acid_rayne]

A while back, yeah, but... I try not to make a habit of it.

Sometimes it happens when people don't want it to, either.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

How? The Admiral?

[acid_rayne]

Pretty much.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Why?

[acid_rayne]

Nobody's ever found out, but you're welcome to ask...

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Does he ever answer?

[acid_rayne]

Sometimes... But quite what it or they are, nobody knows.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

What?

[acid_rayne]

None of us know who or what the Admiral is.

Hell, could even be you.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Or you.

[acid_rayne]

Exactly.

See? Now you're getting it!

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

...Is he the Many-Faced God?

[acid_rayne]

Sounds like a good description, if nothing else...

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

But he isn't. Not really.

[acid_rayne]

Whatever he, she, it or they are, even if we found out, it likely wouldn't make much difference.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Why?

[acid_rayne]

Well... Why would it?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Then you know who to kill.

[acid_rayne]

Unless it is one of us, I'm thinking that'd be damn near impossible, even when we want to.
