On new icons and anniversaries

[diana_abel]

Dear Mun,

It's weird to think about, isn't it? How, like, a year ago, things were so totally different? I guess I should be used to that by now, being 258 years old or whatever, but it still never stops amazing me how much someone's life can change in as little time as a year. A year.

But this philosophical stuff probably isn't good for me. I'm better with the vapid chatter, right? If I think too much, I'll probably be coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs by sunrise.

Right.

Anyway. Thanks for the new icons. They're totes beautiful. Now you really need to stop whining about finding me a second game and...well...slow down, pookie. That's my advice. There's always hope. Remember that. And you're starting to get annoying. Remember that too.

Peace and love,

Diana "so not the Cainite messiah" Abel

PS - Oh! I totally forgot! This enabling thing? Yeah, that needs to stop. Not cool.

Things in life can change rather quickly. Sometimes for the better.

[diana_abel]

Well...sometimes. Yeah. But in my experience, quick changes are rarely the good kind.

[gentleman_thief]

I certainly can understand that.

My changes have been things such as being possessed by a wraith and finding myself in prison.

Still maybe I still hold a little bit of foolish optimism about the future of others.

[diana_abel]

Oh...those are bad changes...

[gentleman_thief]

Yes though bad changes aren't unique when the supernatural is involved it seems.

[diana_abel]

Well, I guess that's true. And God knows I'm totes all up in the supernatural.

[gentleman_thief]

I can tell.

It's a simple little detection device for various magic or supernatural beings.

[diana_abel]

Like one of those metal detectors old people use when they're walking on a beach?

[gentleman_thief]

It does actually work a lot like that. It's rather non-specific in what magic I will run into.

Usually I would know since I'm usually going out because of specific stories. Reports of ghosts as an example or a "large wolf" attacking people.

[diana_abel]

You're a hunter?

[gentleman_thief]

In a sense. It isn't that we kill everything though. Vampires who really just leave people dizzy and with a gap in memory for example I wouldn't be bothering with.

It's the maiming of people and the potential for them finding out about magic that has me being sent out.

[diana_abel]

Oh, good. Because I really didn't want to have to fight you.

For what it's worth, I'm actually okay with hunters. My boyfriend is one. My niece too...although she's slightly batshit.

[gentleman_thief]

To be perfectly honest I would likely lose.

Being a hunter as you call it was not much of a choice for me to begin with. It was either stay in prison and wait for the dark things I had come into contact with to kill me or have an occupation where people can understand my situation to some degree.

[diana_abel]

I don't think many people willingly become hunters. It's generally the sort of thing you stumble ass-backwards into.

[gentleman_thief]

That certainly makes sense. I believe only the mentally deranged would do this sort of thing with no other factors what so ever.

[diana_abel]

Speaking as an expert on the mentally deranged...I agree.
