Ninth Manifesto

[proudambassador]

My roof is leaking. But, but! This time, I still have a roof, yes? The last time, it left. And I was stuck facing a creature I would rather not see again. This time, there is water dripping down when I least expect it, wherever it feels I would least enjoy it, but the creatures are outside, and this is a very good change.

I hope the casino is still there. But I am not going out there to check. If Vir were here, he would. He runs faster, and when such monstrosities are going around, prowling through our streets, it is better to send the faster Centauri, no? The younger, more spry one. Also, he is resourceful. Abrahamo Lincolni, I ask you...

But I have 'potato chips,' which are edible, more or less, and canned mushy green round things. There was no label on the can. I suspect it was unlabeled since people would not eat them if they were warned of what the can contained. But once it is opened and you are hungry, then you are stuck, no? Humans are often like that.

I suppose it is time to go back to making sure the drips do not put out my little fire, yes? I would not like to see that go out.

Abraham Lincoln?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It fooled many Centauri and Minbari, but the Earthers saw the name and knew it was Vir. It did not take them five minutes to know who was at the bottom of the situation. However, it was not meant to fool Humans, and in that, he succeeded.

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

You let me know if you need help fixing that roof.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I thank you.

You are, recovering? I was most concerned for you during that time with Mr. Mayuri. When you said you would show me your Stand, I did not particularly expect that to be the method you chose, no? I jest, I know you did not do that for show.

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

I'm alright. Be back in shape in no time.

((OOC: ur subject, watch him avoidz it X_X))

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

You are certain? You do to know where to find me, if ever there is the slightest need, yes? I do not like seeing friends suffer. I have few enough friends that I can spare them to be harmed.

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

I know... I'm not suffering, I'm human now is all.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

There is no denying that you were suffering, hm? And to be human... I am not so sure that it is not suffering.

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

I said I'm fine, Mollari. Human isn't crippled.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

If you say so, I will not contradict it.

When you do have the time, I have pinpointed all of the leaks, I do believe. It would be helpful to have someone else giving aid, especially in keeping the ladder steady. I am not used to doing such things, repairs. But when in that one city on Earth in the boot-shaped country... yes?

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

Boot-sha - oh, right.

I got plenty experience by now, but you want to learn to do it for yourself anyway. Can't really rely on anything else.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. If I had you do it for me, and then you were to leave, where would I be? But instruction would be very helpful, no?

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Can't rely on anyone staying around.

You got anything by way of materials? Tools are easy, we got a bunch already

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It is a shame, though for most people they are going back to some place far more civilized, no?

I have a hammer, with which I have hit my thumb twice now, nails, and tiles from a house nearby that no one was using. I also have pieces of wood. I do not know if they will help, but I have them.

[istoppedtime.livejournal.com]

... depends.

It's a good start. I'll be coming by.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It does depend. I have not met enough people to know for certain yet, no.

I thank you.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

Having no dangerous creatures is most definitely better than having one or several.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes, it most certainly is. And how are you, my good lady? Your house is well, I hope?

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

Things are well enough, I suppose. Like you, I have no monsters in my building. *chuckles* Though, I do have a few acting like what some might term to be zombies, but I think that's related to whatever this illness causing the headaches going around is.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I am not familiar with these.. zombies, as you call them? I have heard the word once or twice before, but I have never asked for details. The humans always seemed busy when they spoke of such matters.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

I believe a similar term to describe them would be 'undead'. They are dead beings somehow brought back to life as a corpse. It is quite disturbing, from what I've seen and heard of them. One of the young men currently staying here after the earthquake likes to watch these 'movies' about zombies.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

...My good lady, that is most highly disturbing. Let the dead be dead and trouble us no more, especially as a corpse. They have had their time, as long or as short as it might have been, and now it is ours.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

I agree. Forcing those who need their rest to rise again is distasteful.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Not only that, the sound of it is disturbing. If they are corpses, there would be parts falling off, yes? That is not a sight you could pay me to see, my dear lady.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

That is a rather disturbing mental image, I agree. The idea of a decaying corpse dropping various parts around as it moves is just... Well, I cannot find a good enough word.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

There is not one. What even can make such things? I do hope the Animus are not amused by such thoughts.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

In my experience, such things would be caused by magic of some kind. I'm not sure what else could cause it.

The Animus were able to turn some here into something akin to zombies for some time, but they were returned to their natural selves after the time was done. Also, they were not rotting corpses, thankfully enough.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I hope I never see such a thing. Narns are disturbing enough.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Narns"? May I ask what those are?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

They are another race from where I am from. Narns are primitive, loud, messy, disrespectful, and altogether a lower form of life than any other race I have encountered thus far.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

I see. They sound rather like the Orcs from my own world.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they are the same, then, my dear lady.

*spittake of amusement at that icon*

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

It's possible they could be equivalents from one world to the next.

heehee

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I would hate to think that more worlds than mine would be afflicted with such burdens.

The grin! *snorts*

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

It seems many worlds are afflicted with such things... if not another race of beings altogether, then perhaps just another group of beings of the same race with different beliefs.

He has such fun happy faces...

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Perhaps one day all worlds will be free of such, no? It will be a most excellent day, I do believe.

XD

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

Even if the worlds are not free of detestable beings, it would be nice to be able to see all living in peace.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Could there be peace, with such roaming the universe still and causing trouble in the many ways they like to?

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. It all depends on if an agreement can be reached and enforced.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

The Narns cannot be trusted with agreements. We have tried, yes? Many times. Every time, it has backfired.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

That is a shame. Unfortunately, there are beings like that as well. It is then that the greater good must prevail.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

This is precisely what I keep saying. But no, the humans and Minbari are convinced that there must be some redemptive quality in Narns. One day, perhaps, those illusions will be wiped away, no?

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

There may yet be, but, if there is not, then someday, they will see that. People do not live under illusions for very long unless they truly want to believe them. Eventually, something will force them to see the truth.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

An excellent reminder, that. I will keep it in mind, hm? And on the gray days when things do not seem to be looking my way so much, I will recall it, and it will bring a smile to my face.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* That sounds like an excellent idea, Ambassador.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

And I have you to thank for it, my good Lady.

[lothlorienqueen.livejournal.com]

Well, you're quite welcome. *chuckles*
