[ For...probably one of the first times since he's been here, Emil actually sounds a bit unhappy when he speaks to the journal (and, you know, the castle as a whole). Probably should have filtered this, but he never remembers about those. ]

I'm sorry, everyone-- I guess that this curse I have can't really be fixed... If that scares anyone, I understand. I'll be fine. After all, I'm kind of used to it by now.

Um, anyway...I just thought I'd let you know about that.

I think that goes for everybody.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[skullish.livejournal.com]

[She means you too, Emil!]

Umm, how are you? Are you doing okay about this, I mean.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ That depends on if we're taking previous threads in this post into account, really. ]

I'm fine...don't worry.

[skullish.livejournal.com]

[Yes, let's count all the threads!!]

Okay. Well, I'm here if you need to talk, I guess ...

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ Oh good, then this will be worse;;;;; ]

But, um...can I ask you something?

[skullish.livejournal.com]

[UH-OH ...]

Huh? Oh, sure. What is it?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

If a friend told you something about who they were and then it turned out they were wrong or lying about it and the truth was actually really bad, would you be mad?

[ The master of the rhetorical question, clearly. ]

[skullish.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, "bad" ...?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

If they're not...really a person, I guess.

1/2

[skullish.livejournal.com]

Oh ...

[skullish.livejournal.com]

... does it make them any less a good person? Or. A good ... whatever thing they are?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's a friend, would you be mad or...I guess, hate them for it?

[skullish.livejournal.com]

... no. I don't think so.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay.

[ Sounds a bit relieved about this. ]

Emil

[Oh. She writes a filter after that, mister!]

Did you ... tell somebody you were something you aren't?

filtered foreverrrrrr probably

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Kind of...I didn't know, but everyone thinks that it's true, but it's not.

yessssss

[skullish.livejournal.com]

Everyone thinks -- everyone thinks you're human? Or that you're not human ...?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

...that I am.

[skullish.livejournal.com]

... I don't really know if I'm human either.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

You don't?

[skullish.livejournal.com]

I'm a witch. Where I'm from, it's like winning the genetic freak lottery -- my parents were both humans. Regular, normal humans. But I can do magic, I can fly, I can shapeshift. I can't ... um, I can't reproduce. I don't have eyebrows.

But -- I mean, what is "human" anyway? What is being "normal"? Who gets to decide what's a normal human, and what's a human? It doesn't matter. In the long run, it doesn't really matter.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

I think that stuff sounds neat...but I kind of get what you mean.

[skullish.livejournal.com]

It just makes me different, that's all. But everybody's different anyway, even the people who are all "normal."

...I'm a weapon. I don't think I'm even a person.
