canon: repo! the genetic opera

[shilowallace]

No, you're right. This is all...well, it's great, for now. I've made due with less, you know. And it's not like I'm going anywhere, any time soon. I can be patient.

Don't worry about me. I know you always do, but right now, you really don't have to. Anyway, if people's worries for me were insects, I would have a veritable infestation of worry-bugs.

...I'd much rather the worry-bugs.

You don't have to wait.

[shilowallace]

Oh, but...I do. Sort of. I shouldn't be anyone's first priority, right now. Least of all my writer's.

[becomemeguca]

But what if you could take things into your own hands? Become your own person... you could gain the strength to stand independently of anyone.

[shilowallace]

Well, that's sort of something I've been working on. I'm sort of new to independence.

I'd just like to apologize for him. And hi, I think I know you! Did you have the same LJ name?

[becomemeguca]

I imagine you might like some help with that. You're going to need a lot of strength to be able to do that. But there is a way that I could help you.

no need to apologize at all! and yep, this was me on LJ, too. :)

[shilowallace]

Strength isn't exactly my...well, strength. Also something I'm working on. There's...a lot I'm working on, I guess.

You could...help me? How?

I'm ofthearpeggio, aka Machi~

[becomemeguca]

If you form a contract with me and become a puella magi, I could grant you the strength that you need. In fact, I could grant you almost anything in the world.

in that case, I know you, too! Hi! <3

[shilowallace]

A...puella magi? What's that? I mean, I really don't know, I've had...so much of deals and contracts...the offer is very generous, don't get me wrong. But...I don't know.

Hiii! Glad to see you over here on DW too! :D

[becomemeguca]

Puella magi is what we call those who've made a contract with me. In exchange for granting any one wish that you desire, in addition to granting you special magic, you must become a puella magi, and fight witches using that magic.

what with the insanity of LJ, it just seemed like the right thing to do! and ditto! :)

[shilowallace]

Special magic? Wow...um. I...I really don't know, that seems like a...really big undertaking. I don't - I mean, that's...well, it sounds nice, but...

Haha, yeah, this. THIS is also why I moved.

[becomemeguca]

I can't pressure you to choose now, but... there must be something that you desire more than anything in the world. Right?

yeah, it's taking some getting used to, but i'd rather have something dependable to get used to...ra

[shilowallace]

Well...of course. Or, at least, there...used to be.

YEAH this.

[becomemeguca]

Not anymore?

[shilowallace]

Not...really. I mean, I sort of have what I want, now. Sort of.

[becomemeguca]

You sound unsure.

[shilowallace]

It came at a...really high cost. And hasn't been exactly what I hoped for.

[becomemeguca]

You could change it. It would be easy for you to fix, with the power that you would create.

[shilowallace]

I don't...know if doing this any other way would be...right, though.

[becomemeguca]

That decision is yours to make. But if you change your mind... you should give us a call.

[shilowallace]

Thank you. I mean that. I'm...going to think about it. Talk to someone, maybe, and think.
