On joining nexus_sages Canon is until Dawn

[brother_alone]

He asked for me back?

Be careful what you wish for....

Comments

[brother_alone]

Yeah. They mentioned it was you.

The voices did. New ones. Shiny.

[workthroughit]

None of this would have found you if you'd listened to me! But you knew best, didn't you? Your plan was the only way to make them pay, wasn't it?

[brother_alone]

Well, duh.

That's because you're nuts and putting scarecrows and shit in the room wasn't exactly helping. Sadistic bastard.

[workthroughit]

You really still believe that-...

[He huffs through his nose, annoyed. But soon coaches a smile onto his face.]

Sometimes a shock to the system is the best motivator, hm?

[brother_alone]

And yet, when I do that to motivate someone it's 'cruel and unusual'.

[Wow those air quotes are obnoxious.]

[workthroughit]

You weren't going for motivation in anyone and you know it, Joshua.

[brother_alone]

It was teaching someone a lesson. Isn't that what you always talk about? learning to feel what other people feel?

[workthroughit]

Are you really still rationalizing it? After all that? After everything you put them through?

Our reunion will be a spectacular one, I'll say that much. We have so much to catch up on.

[brother_alone]

You have to live it to feel it.

Have to live it to hear them in your head. They're talking. Don't you hear it? I'm just giving them a voice again.

[workthroughit]

[Dr. Hill sighs.]

You're not well, Joshua.

[brother_alone]

You're the one who wished for me back, Doc.

I'd say the one who isn't well...is you.

[workthroughit]

And here I had been talking about repairing regrets and the fruitlessness of it.

You are my greatest regret, Joshua, much like I am yours. Heaven knows neither of us are complete without the other.

[brother_alone]

Well you've got me, now.

And we've got a whooooole community of folks who need some lessons. She says we're gonna stir shit up. Teach some lessons.

This new voice sounds like fun.
