46 - Event Stage 4 - Phone

[ceasetoexist]

You know something? Since the rest of you are all letting crap off your chest? Yeah, there's something I gotta say. And I've thought it a lot, but I've never said it. And I think I oughta.

[A small beat. Then...]

I deserve to be here. With all the evil junk I've done, yeah. I belong here. Cause I'm a dangerous little nutbag.

And I have done a whole lot of evil junk back home. Like, I bet I've done a lot more then a lot of the villains here have done. And there's a lot of villains here. For starters, back home I:

[No one can see it, but he starts counting off on fingers as he lists his accomplishments into the phone. It's almost rhythmic, how he's speaking.]

Helped a cult try and perform a human sacrifice.

Conned a business mogul into helping alien invaders try and kill my next door neighbor and his friends, who had been chosen to save the world.

Had been working with said alien invaders to help conquer and ultimately destroy the planet.

Aaaaand when that didn't work out I decided to run away into different time periods like a loser in the time machine I stole.

That's pretty much it for the things back home, aside from all the times I've lied, cheated, or stolen something, which was a lot. Here, I've pretty much lied, cheated, and stolen a lot too. Haven't gotten to do much evil aside from destroy a lot of public property because of my anger issues like a cry baby, aaaaand I've killed the drone of my best friend here. Twice. And that dork with the glasses during the whole letter thing. Which I felt bad about but I mustn't really of since I still did it anyway even if the killing blow was an accident. Because me doing anything right is a long shot anyway.

So yeah. Kinda deserve this, or any punishment I get.

Yeah. I am.

It never should've been any of the ones who've gotten droned already. That I knew. It should've been-

[There's a clack as he bites down on his lip. Hard. Harder then he'd meant to. But he had to shut himself up.

But he still can't put the phone down.]

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

...should have been who?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He bites down harder. Trying to stop himself from talking. And it fails. Utterly.]

It should've been me. To get punished like that. Each and every time. They didn't deserve it, and I do.

[Aisling isn't sure how to respond at first.]

...it's not up to us to decide who leaves and who stays. That's the worst part.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I know. I want to make up for it but it's hard and I barely know how. But I'm trying.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

It's better to try than not do anything at all, right?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

For most people. It never has been for me. It's always come out the same.

But I have to try anyway. Because there's people I owe it to.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

Think of that, then. Maybe that will help.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

You're a good friend. Thanks.

[Oh for god's...he just about hits himself for saying that outloud. What is this horsecrap.]

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

...you're welcome.

[That's all she can think of saying, really.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I wanted to tell you. In a better way then this.

Sorry this is how you found out.

[Just kicking the wall at his house. Why can't he stop himself now? He should just put the goddamn phone down, but that's become impossible for some reason.]

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

It could have been better, but...it's alright.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah.






I'm sorry. I haven't been as good a friend to you. But I'm trying to get better.

[wolf-faerie.livejournal.com]

That's a good thing. Keep trying.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I will.
