...I am so Precursors damned tired. I want to go home-- it's impossible to help this city.

...

Oh wonderful.

(Ashelin's telling the truth and nothing but the truth, although I'm throwing in some minor league compulsion to get her to actually talk during the event. Feel free to ask her whatever you'd like.)

I guess some truths are easier to accept than others.

[mostly_spice]

They are. How do you feel about blinding Azula?

[heroisms]

The same as I always have.

[mostly_spice]

Should I trust you or should you be in a jail yourself?

[skybound_love]

It does feel that way, doesn't it?

[mostly_spice]

It is that way. I've wasted a month here and the place isn't--

Damn. How has this effected you? Lying or honesty?

[skybound_love]

I tell the truth, more so now than I ever did before.

I'm also a lot more than slightly jealous of your man.

[mostly_spice]

No one always tells the truth.

Oh yeah? Too bad about the timing, we could have had some fun otherwise.

[not_riku_thx]

You're lucky...at least you've got a home to go back to.

[mostly_spice]

I'd still have to leave him here.

...Oh, this is just fun.

[not_riku_thx]

Who, Torn?

[mostly_spice]

Yes.

I like you a lot for calling him out. That's not easy.

[earthsmasher]

It really does feel hopeless sometimes, doesn't it... People keep getting hurt, and I never seem to be able to stop it. I hate being so useless.

We still have to keep trying though. If there weren't any attempts at organization or law enforcement, it'd be much worse.

[mostly_spice]

You're pretty.

Dammit.

It is hopeless. I wish I could give up on this. It would be so much easier.

[earthsmasher]

...

Um... Thank you?

You don't know that. We still have a chance to keep things under control, and help everyone... This place needs strong and capable people like you more than anything.

Maybe you should take a break for a while. No one would hold it against you... You do so much, and it's not fair for you to put yourself through all this if your heart's not in it. Recooperate, and come back when you're feeling up to it. Then again, I don't even know why I'm suggesting it, because it's pretty much impossible to take a break here. It's a nice thought though, and maybe you'll have the chance once all this is dealt with.

[mostly_spice]

It's your hair. Most roundears don't have the right coloring.

I can rest when things are handled. Precursors, I might try sleeping for a few days after this, although I'll probably wake up in a panic. I think you'd be a great leader for this place- you can handle your own.

[prodigal_axe]

I like helping them, even though I'm dangerous.

That's wrong, ain't it?

[mostly_spice]

I have no idea. You're a little gray-area to me.

[prodigal_axe]

You're smart. Some idiots think I'm harmless.

It's not like I want to be dangerous.

[mostly_spice]

I don't think anyone's harmless. When I do, they usually end up killing people.

So why are you?
