[003] - Voice: Excuse Me.

[mysicksadlife]

[She's been putting this off. Actually, she's managed to put it off for a very long time now. But as slow as she may be, she knows when there's something she needs to say.]

Look, this probably isn't how you're supposed to do this sort of thing, but I'd rather get it out there up front and over with. I'm sorry for any... strange things I may have said or done while I wasn't quite feeling like myself.

That goes for Valentine's Day, and more recently. Though I have to admit recently wasn't that bad. In fact, if it was always like that here, I could probably get used to it. Eventually. Enough to hold my complaining down to a dull roar, anyway.

So I was wondering, too, about these filial spirits. If magic is really something here, it probably behooves me to try to see it at work. Anyone willing to volunteer to let me? I'm not saying I'm going to try it out myself, or anything like that. I just want to see it.

So there'd be nothing to lose in trying it.

[This may result in Daria giving that at least a tiny chance - mostly for the sake of proving to herself once and for all what's really going on here. But she has a feeling that's taking a big step into unknown waters she's not sure she wants to experience.]

[voice]

[mysicksadlife]

Only with a lot of nagging and reminding. And you know how that just makes it worse.

[voice]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Then how can we save him from himself? [genuine sadface here]

[Action]

[folklorist]

That's right. There's no harm in giving it a shot if you really are curious about it. The spirits aren't mean or aggressive at all, so I don't see any reason not to. Then again as a teacher I fully endorse trying new things. It all depends on your personal preference however.

[mysicksadlife]

I hate to say it, but the most we can do to keep his stress down is not to upset him ourselves.

[i.e. no more fun at his expense, no more tricking him, no more purposely pushing his buttons...]

[Action]

[mysicksadlife]

I guess I'm more curious about it all than really wanting to try it. Probably what would be best would be tagging along when someone else tries to contact them or whatever you do.

[voice]

[cuteisawayoflife]

I guess...maybe from now on I should tell him about my dates in advance.

[voice]

[mysicksadlife]

Or at least only show him the presentable ones.

[voice]

[cuteisawayoflife]

No more guys with earrings or hair longer than mine.

[voice]

[mysicksadlife]

[Considering Trent...

Well, alright, he's a great guy but she's not sure Jake would have liked him dating a daughter anyway. Still...]

I think Dad can handle those if the guy knows how to treat you right.

[voice]

[cuteisawayoflife]

That'll be the day. Boys are so immature!

[voice] and now i dash for class T_T moar later!

[mysicksadlife]

And yet you seemed to enjoy them quite a bit back home.

Okay!

[cuteisawayoflife]

Well, they liked doing stuff for me, how could I not?

[mysicksadlife]

There's your first sign you found the right one: You don't want to use him like that.

[She's pretty sure he's going to be doomed to following Quinn's every whim anyway; but maybe by the time she grows up, she'll be nicer about it.]

[ Helios smiles and tilts his head curiously back at the other. ]

Well I'm sure someone would be open towards such a thing. Contacting them isn't so much as perceiving anything physically, but more mentally. I met them through mediation actually.

[cuteisawayoflife]

You think so?

[mysicksadlife]

[She's screwed up a couple relationships, so she's not sure she's the best to be giving advice here, but she is sure on this particular point.]

Yeah. I don't know a lot about dating, but I know you're supposed to be able to like and respect each other.

[cuteisawayoflife]

I guess I'll have to take your word for it, then.

and class beckons again /waves! i've been loving all these though <3

[mysicksadlife]

Shouldn't you be the one saying these things? You have more experience.

ME TOO <3333

[cuteisawayoflife]

Well...you're the only one who's kept a boyfriend for more than two days. [much as she hates to admit she's been....wrong.]

[mysicksadlife]

Look, my little sister who believes in guardian angels still finds these fairies or spirits or whatever to be hard to swallow.

And I never believed in guardian angels.

Most stories about that sort of thing say you have to believe, so... Are you sure they'd ever talk to me even if they're there?

[mysicksadlife]

[That hadn't exactly gone well in some ways...]

I'll tell you a secret if you promise not to share it. I'm pretty sure I messed up a few things with Tom, too.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Um...okay. Not sure who I'd tell, but...what happened?

voice;

[berkian]

Probably not, but I sort of regret it now. Their powers may be halved but...

...well, they're still gods, and I don't want to be singled out by a god.

[mysicksadlife]

I'm not comfortable with all the gory details, but we could start with all the mess with Jane it caused.
