(no subject)

[bellabellabella]

You're being ridiculous, mun. Is this the third time you've resolved to app me to this place?

[Edward, that's really not-]

That is the perfect way to put things. You may have kept the idea in the back of your head, but you continually have delayed.

In any case, that is immaterial.

If you must subject me to these so-called games then do so, but do not attempt to drag others of my world or my family in with me. They have done nothing to deserve such treatment.

you knew this was coming

[seeyounextfall]

And you have? [Did someone order an angry kitten?]

You can't just go off and expect the rest of us to be okay with that. You-You just can't.

:D

[bellabellabella]

More than the rest of you? Yes, absolutely.

[He stares intently, eyes burning, trying to make her understand because it is super important she understand this.]

Bella, please try to understand. I've already killed so many people.

[seeyounextfall]

Do I even want to know why you think that?

So? [She stares back defiantly, trying not to be dazzled into submission.] That means you should have to kill more? I'm not buying it.

[bellabellabella]

[He sighs.]

You know why I do.

It certainly means I'm more qualified.

[swamtofrance]

[Edward.... Edward no. Come to a sane game. Like Exsilium. So I don't have to babysit your wife.]

[bellabellabella]

[TAKEN ABACK]

My wife?

[swamtofrance]

[WHY IS CARLISLE THE ONLY ONE THAT'S THIS FAR LATELY?]

Yes, your wife. Bella Cullen.

[bellabellabella]

[S T A R I N G how does he even respond to that dad Bella is just some chick he saved from being smushed he swears that's all!]

[swamtofrance]

[She is your wife son. In fact, here. Let him get out that wedding picture he keeps in his wallet.]

[bellabellabella]

Carlisle, that's...

She's human.

[AND HE WANTS TO KILL HER.]

[swamtofrance]

She won't be forever, Edward. That was the agreement the two of you made. She marries you and you would change her instead of me.

[GET OVER IT SON.]

[bellabellabella]

[HIS EYES HARDEN he doesn't resent you for what you did dad but he's not planning on changing anyone else.]

Carlisle, I'm not going to damn an innocent girl. She's not dying.

[And suddenly the other shoe drops]

... instead of you??

[VAGUE PANIC BEGINNING 3... 2... 1....]

[swamtofrance]

[Well he's glad that you don't but this was Bella's idea and you made a deal with her. Also, not really keen on you killing yourself when she dies. Esme would be distraught. So would everyone else but let's think of Esme's face when that would happen because hers is the most heartbreaking.]

You're not damning anybody, Edward.

[Oh, you caught that?]

We had a vote. I wasn't going to let you die, Edward. And Alice doesn't think that she has the restraint necessary.

[That probably doesn't... make it better. Does it?]

[bellabellabella]

[Not quite flinching - Carlisle's imagination (memory?????) is good, and Esme's anguish is hard to take. Though killing himself?? Well yes Bella is pretty and smells absolutely maddening and is interesting but...

but well

um

but]

It would be nice if I could believe that as firmly as you do.

Carlisle, that's absurd. Looking after Bella is hardly likely to lead to my death.

[seeyounextfall]

You're wrong.

[She's not even going to address that.] Who else has she tried to drag into it? Is she open to suggestions?

[bellabellabella]

You have one?

[BELLA PLZ]

ignore the happy icon SHE'S NOT HAPPY NOT AT ALL

[tendre]

[Just... have... D:]

Edward, we've spoken about this before.

IT'S OKAY I HAVE NO ICONS EITHER

[bellabellabella]

[ALL THE INTERNAL FACEPALMING]

It's not exactly my first choice, Esme.

[seeyounextfall]

[NO]

Just one.

[bellabellabella]

There's someone who you think deserves this place who you'd be willing to inflict on the people already there?

[seeyounextfall]

I don't think anyone deserves that place, and it's not like I could do much inflicting. Unless you changed me. Then I could hold my own.

[bellabellabella]

[VAGUE PANIC]

Bella, no.

[tendre]

[Oh, Edward.]

Perhaps it's not your choice to be sent away, but you certainly don't deserve it more than anyone else.

[seeyounextfall]

If you don't change me, it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll trip to my death in my first battle.

[Is that what they're called? Battles? I should really read these books.]

[bellabellabella]

Bella, no.

[Slightly frantic.]

I'm being sent there. Not you. Please be reasonable.

[you really should and eh, fight, battle, same dif. Mostly it's just killing people.]
