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.

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.

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*
