57. finding darkness in the light.

Jun 29, 2011 23:49

...Am I cursed or something?

Hm. I hope I don't die, because if every warden who's going to take 'responsibility' for me is going to disappear, I'm not going to ask anyone else. I think I'll just do my best to stay alive instead.

Don't even think of volunteering. Especially any of the remaining Time Lords.

[paaaaaaause]

Shame, as I could do ( Read more... )

actually a priest, usually well-behaved, self-appointed lord of the library, endarkenment is a thing, ardent doesn't always shout

I think I could help out.

Have a box design done. I'll send it to you to look at.

deepdowndark June 30 2011, 00:11:40 UTC

No, no, you are not allowed to volunteer. You will leave.

Great. I look forward to seeing it.

most_feared June 30 2011, 00:17:01 UTC

I don't want to take responsibility for you. But, if you need something, an offer's there.

I'll print out a version and drop it off on my way to the pub. [Now that it's a safe zone again.]

You're getting dangerously close to it, though. Be careful. It will only end badly.

I'll be in the library.

Private whattheytellyou June 30 2011, 00:20:58 UTC

Ardent, can I ask you for a favor?

Re: Private deepdowndark June 30 2011, 00:21:31 UTC

What sort of favour?

Private whattheytellyou June 30 2011, 00:23:41 UTC

There's a book in the library. Michael Crichton's The Lost World.

I know you've got your policies on the books being returned and available, but...

Can you take it off the shelves? Or let me hang on to it? Just until I leave the ship.

Re: Private deepdowndark June 30 2011, 00:24:46 UTC

...Why?

There has to be a good reason to break not just a policy, but a principle of what I believe.

Explain what you theory is for me. For my interest, not personal necessity.

deepdowndark June 30 2011, 12:53:37 UTC

It's not a theory - it's something I've put into practice.

I'm also reluctant to share it with anyone who isn't actually interested. Or their wardens, I suppose.

[Private] doctor_j_crane June 30 2011, 13:33:12 UTC

Than I do want to hear about it. A great deal.

Yes, I'm interested. I just didn't want to mention it publicly.

Re: [Private] deepdowndark June 30 2011, 13:43:34 UTC

I... will have to check with the person I helped.

Fair enough. It basically involves giving you... mental control over the darkness, changing the way the darkness 'speaks' to you. I'm not exactly sure how to phrase it without using Dwarfish language.

I was angry yesterday. And today.

Re: Private deepdowndark June 30 2011, 14:22:33 UTC

What were you angered by?

Re: Private leadsthestars June 30 2011, 14:23:41 UTC

I...am angered by many things.

They came together yesterday. They combined.

Re: Private deepdowndark June 30 2011, 14:27:22 UTC

I can't exactly blame you in this place.

Are they resolved?

Ah, a librarian with a sense of humor.

I'm impressed.

Re: Private deepdowndark June 30 2011, 23:50:10 UTC

I'm surprised you've actually got the mental capacity to recognise one, given the little amount you read.

Re: Private happinessboys June 30 2011, 23:56:33 UTC

Mistake me for an ignorant and stupid man. That will go well.

Re: Private deepdowndark July 1 2011, 00:01:11 UTC

Stupid and ignorant are two very different principles.
