[btr] [unfortunately public]

When I was six, my older sister shoved me down a hill into a pile of broken glass because I could play the violin better than she could. The glass caused severe lacerations on my face and I also broke my arm.

I've always told people that the scars on my face were because of an "accident", but in reality the only accidental part about it was that my sister wasn't expecting the broken beer bottles to be there.

It's not that sympathy is upsetting, precisely, but it's unnecessary and useless in this situation. It's something that happened a long time ago, in a different universe. Nothing anyone can say or do will change what happened, so I'd rather people save their sympathy for situations that can be changed.

It appears that the Rift is of the opinion that some of us need to ~*share our feelings*~. I don't approve.

...Either that, or we have an extremely powerful and very subtle Glaysa on our hands. I don't think that's all that likely, because I'm pretty sure I could recognize a Glaysa's tampering, and I didn't feel anything. Still, better safe than sorry. Could you look into that angle for me? It would most likely be someone old, to have that much power and finesse, and they wouldn't be the type t draw attention to themselves, so you might have to do some pretty thorough digging.

And...just keep an eye on things for me in general, would you? The Kashtta's been pretty upset with me over this whole Roderick Usher Situation and it's beginning to wear on me pretty hard physically. I don't suppose you managed to pick up any skills or knowledge about spirits, the undead, or exorcism while you were in that other universe, did you?

I understand that! For what it's worth, I like you just the way you are, scars and all.

YEAH, I've been looking at ... all the increasingly truthful entries and their own reactions to it later. It's not cool at all.

Of course I can! Consider me on it right away. Even if that's not the case, it's good to cross that off the list anyway. I'm up for the digging.

I will! And unfortunately, no, but I know someone that does have experience with this kind of thing. A supernatural hunter. They might know something about what to do.

In the meantime, can I get anything for you?

Plus, I'm really not all that up to date on the native supernaturals that don't interact with the Wanderer community that often. It's mostly the younger generation that hangs around here, have you noticed? We really don't have a lot of contact with older angels and demons, so it would be useful to have record of what the general sentiment is among the older generations even if we don't find anything to do with the cause of this sudden spate of public confessions.

It wouldn't happen to be Jo Harvelle, would it? Tell her hi for me, and sorry I haven't been around lately. I haven't been out of the Tower in oh...probably about 3 weeks. Has it really been that long? Well, fuck.

You should definitely make sure I get out of the Tower sometime soon. Even if it's only for an evening.

[ And then the narration says: Seriously, Mio, seriously? Am I going to have to get you a guardian so you will remember to do things like EAT? and SLEEP? FFS, you need to get a life outside of Torchwood, even if I will have to force you. >:E ]

I have! I think it's because a lot of them don't have homes of their own to go to, so they either hang out here or actually live here. Elashte's gone, right? That's also gotta mean there might be a new Neq coming in soon.

That would be her! I'll let her know.

[Pause.] Three weeks? Seriously?

Okay, that's it. Forget sometime soon. We're getting out now. I'm giving you some time to get ready so we can go have dinner some place nice, outside the Tower, because it is not good for you to be cooped up for that long.

I will not accept no for an answer!

[BOTH PHOEBE AND THE NARRATION AGREE.]

He left a while back to take care of some business with his holdings in Las Vegas, I think, and he hasn't returned to Chicago since then. There's still the remnants of a garrison at the Main Gauche....well, sort of. Demons never have been particularly good at living in regimented groups. \

If another Neq'ael were to move in on his territory, I don't think it would be all that hard for them to take.


...yes, ma'am. (.__. ) I'll go get changed straight away.

[ Mio is all like "I don't need a guardian! I can take care of myself!" and I am like "Heh. Heh heh. LOLOLONO, you fail at it so hard it shouldn't even be funny." And then Mio is all "I hate you!" at me and I am like "Uh-huh.Yeah, you do that."

Clearly, Phoebe needs to hold Funtiems Interventions with Mio on a regular basis. Or become Mio's guardian. Or something because Mio is being the most failbuckety failbucket that ever failbucketed at having a life right now. ]

It just feels like everything's up in the air lately, doesn't it? Not just politically, but in general. It might not be a bad thing but this is Chicago, so I guess I just automatically assume there's doom waiting around in the corner. Or maybe it's me still feeling weird about being gone.

That's what I like to hear! ;)

I'm giving you twenty minutes.

[If they aren't hating us, we are not doing it right!

I would totally be up for either of those options, btw.

Seriously. It'd be awesome for them and they should both have a life, not to mention they are kind of adorable with each other.]

Re: [locked]

[lefthertainted]

You got it! I'll meet you in the garage? We can take one of the SUVs. [ Mio's never been a big user of emoticons, but hey, Phoebe started it first. ]

[ We should totally have Phoebe become Mio's guardian. That way Phoebe can be a guardian to another head of Torchwood with emotional issues! And then she'll be like 'Why is this my life? Is the universe trying to tell me something?' Besides, the Torchwood Relationships Web has been simplified too much since Jack left. We need to do our part to complicate it again. ;)

And they are the most adorable things for each other. Ianto helps Mio feel at peace with herself, but Phoebe is the one person who does the most to get Mio to loosen up and actually have fun. She doesn't do that nearly often enough. *linefaces at Mio* ]

Re: [locked]

[thehighestwing.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me! I'll be there. [And, as promised, Phoebe's going to be waiting in the garage for Mio. She's dressed up a bit fancy, since it has been a while since either of them have gone out. She believes the occasion warrants fancy.]

[I would love this. Since there would've been another Riftpower Roulette recently, and they haven't seen each other since, it's totally possible, too. Hee! It's true. With Tay becoming Phoebe's guardian and Phoebe now becoming Mio's, I do think we're starting to do our part again. ;)

They are! Mio grounds Phoebe and gets her to be serious and focused on the job, which is something she does need also. Though she will be bringing all the fun out now. It's needed!]

[OOC: And then, like a month later...]

[Post in the main comm! I figured this might go on for a while so it would be better to move this out of journals because it might go on for a while. Also, sorry I am so spectacularly procrastinatery about writing posts. .___.]
