Tenth Manifesto

[proudambassador]

These are working again, yes? The Animus did not break them for good, I am hoping? While I can now repair my roof, thanks to my dear friend Mr. Jojo, devices are far out of my range. Give me a hammer, and I can hammer. Nails, my thumb, the tiles, my other thumb, damn its little metal head. Give me a screwdriver, and all I can do is drink it.

That is the name of that drink, yes? I am not confusing it with a wrench or a crowbar or some other metal tool? I confess I did not pay so much attention to that particular lesson in Earth Standard. I was a busy young Centauri. The universe awaited, and I did not want to leave it waiting and hanging, no?

And your face looks very Centauri. But your teeth do not, and your hair does not, and there are a myriad other ways in which you are not Centauri.

I believe we have talked once before, but I do not think it was at length. I am Londo.

Ah. My sorrow for not keeping in touch. I am sure there are more differences.

Differences are what make things fun!

It is not a problem, the city is quite busy, is it not?

Yes. It is also what leads to wars, I have learned, and wars are very messy things.

[golden_hawke]

This is also true.


Have you come from a place where there is a war?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I have. I come from a place where wars are always happening, due to silly misunderstandings as well as greater things. There is no true winner in war.

[golden_hawke]

No, everyone loses in a war. I am sorry to hear that.

I have heard of wars, but not been in one. I have seen the damage it does to a body, and to a soul.

It is the way of the universe. There is no changing it, I have found.

This is also a truth.
