[ she just - laughs. a line between mirthful and mocking. ]

My dear, dear mundane. You're trying again? I admit, I'm flattered - but surely you know that this cause of theirs is of no interest to me. These are powers I have on my own; why should I give that up to - to fight for a cause that I've never heard of?

I understand the desire to give into impulse, but there comes a point when - [ another laugh. angelique shakes her head. ].

Well, go on. You've given up so many times already that I don't expect much. Unlike you, I keep my promises.

It's not that bad. The people are nice, but...

[but. she pauses,]

Once you're there you can't leave unless it's an accident.

[spellwork]

An accident? [ okay, but she's good at those - even as she thinks it bitterly. ] We're supposed to - stumble back to our lives and our purposes by mistake?

[paracosmic]

Yes. The game your mun is looking at -- there's a war going on. They claim they need us.

[spellwork]

And wouldn't it benefit them to take the willing?

It isn't very well calculated if they choose people at random.

[paracosmic]

I know.

[babydoll is Not Pleased about that fact.]

I don't think they really know what they're doing.

[spellwork]

And suppose we don't want to play soldier in their little war?

[ angelique thinks she's made that part very obvious, but hey, maybe an insider's perspective could give her a little more of a view. ]

omfg im so sorry about the lateness i thought i replied

[paracosmic]

You don't have to. A lot of people don't, actually.

shh it's okay shhh.

[spellwork]

Comforting, I suppose.

[ not really. ]

This could all be solved if anyone had any consideration for inconvenience.

[paracosmic]

The people taking us from our homes are just that desperate.

[it's a little sad, honestly.]

I thought it was just because they were being selfish at first.

[spellwork]

Well, of course it's selfish!

[ and there's that laugh again. ]

Just because they're desperate doesn't justify it, or engage my sympathies.

[ WOW ANGIE WOW. JUST WOW YOU ARE ONE TO TALK WOW. ]
