Voice Test // A Formal Letter

[abandoned_skinner]

Dear Mundane,

I would like to talk to you in regards to this roleplaying you wish to continue. While I should be flattered to be chosen for anything you consider to be "fun", I find this behavior of yours concerning for your own well-being.

It isn't healthy to pretend to act as someone else. Although you are aware that these roles that you're playing are not you, dipping too far into these games might result in that awareness becoming clouded. If I foresee this, I'm afraid I will have no choice but to have you admitted to Briarcliff for proper evaluation and treatment. While I will attempt for you to get the best treatment possible, I cannot be sure that Sister Jude will feel the same way.

My recommendation is for you to discontinue roleplaying at once. It would be beneficial for the both of us.

Regards,
Doctor Oliver Thredson

you woke her up, now deal with her XD

[readmybook]

Well, isn't this a classic catch-22. Careful, Dr. Thredson, you might not want to be so eager to get rid of all those voices in your mun's head. You'd disappear entirely.

On second thought, that's not such a bad idea.

Yay! I mean... oh dear. XD

[abandoned_skinner]

Ah, Lana, I would never really fully disappear from this world though, would I? You helped that along.

[readmybook]

[Sore subject, Doc. Very sore subject]

I took care of that too. In the end, I put down two monsters.

[abandoned_skinner]

[ Speaking of sore subjects, Lana. ]

The incident could have been prevented if I was given the chance to raise my son.

[readmybook]

Ha, you know as well as I do that you would never have been able to raise him. Not from inside an insane asylum, no matter how good your connections were.

[Not that she had given him so much as a chance, but still who knows how Johnny would have turned out under his father's monstrous influence]

Pity, the boy idolized you til the very end.

[abandoned_skinner]

I could have but you were so insistent in not giving me a chance. That's a shame, Lana. He would have been happy and blood would not be on your hands at all.

[ He would have been wonderful, shhhh. ]

[readmybook]

Then you should have kidnapped, raped, and impregnated a less ambitious, stubborn woman.

[There might have been some potent bitterness still brewing inside of her, but those weren't the sort of horrors one could easily forget. And she wasn't exactly prone to seeing a psychologist these days. He could easily understand why]

There's a special place in hell for the both of us, I know.

[abandoned_skinner]

The intimacy and impregnation were not supposed to happen. You manipulated my emotions for the intimacy to occur. That was entirely on you.

[ He's also bitter, but for a different reason. ]

Yes, especially you, as you attempted to murder an innocent child and then did kill him years later when you learned that my son had taken after his father. I believe your choice not to raise him caused that as well.

[readmybook]

Call it a survival instinct.

[That was, after all, the only way Lana could rationalize what had happened]

If I had succeeded in aborting him, the deaths of his victims could have been avoided entirely. Don't preach to me, Thredson. You probably only would have encouraged his killer instinct.

[abandoned_skinner]

Survival instinct, of course.

[ It was true. He could buy that. ]

No, I would have loved him like every child deserves to be loved by their parents. I believe we had a conversation like this before, if you recall.

[readmybook]

It doesn't matter, Thredson. We can't change what's done and there's no way to accurately predict how he would have turned out in alternative circumstances. Like I said before, no child should have to call Bloody face their daddy.

[abandoned_skinner]

Of course you would believe that. But if my mundane's mind is anything like the minds of others, then perhaps I may get a second chance to be a father. Then we could really see what our child would have turned out.

[readmybook]

Don't say 'our child'. What kind of family would that even be? A lesbian mother and a cold blooded killer for a father.

[abandoned_skinner]

If things had gone according to my plan, you would have been out of the picture. A father's love would have been more than enough. Still, I would have credited you for the birth. He would have appreciated knowing who his mother was, after all.

[readmybook]

[Her laughter was harsh and bitter]

You'd only be passing your mommy issues onto him that way. You should have at least found a surrogate mother.

Sorry for the wait! I had people over. >>

[abandoned_skinner]

Perhaps. At least he would have had a father then and not simply been parentless.

that's fine. Do you have a plurk?

[readmybook]

I'm still of the firm opinion I should have aborted when I had the chance. All of this could have been avoided, even his suffering.

I do! It's justdickensaround. :3

[abandoned_skinner]

And that's why I believe that you are far worse than me. He was an innocent.

just added you!

[readmybook]

An innocent that would eventually turn into a monster just like his father. He followed in your footsteps. You can't say it wouldn't have turned out the same if you had raised him. Genetics versus nature and nurture.

Yay!

[abandoned_skinner]

And what nurturing did he have in the system, Lana? And if I recall, he truly didn't have a murdering instinct until you showed up in his life and he found out who I really was. I could have raised him without those problems.

But we agreed that it was too late to argue about it now. I'll get my chance to raise another child sooner or later. At least that's what I'm counting on.
