[ 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.

Mm, in some ways, yeah.

[Thankfully Emil is less emo and has never tried to kill anyone.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

It's good that we're not the same person, though. That'd be a little weird.

[ This is true! ]

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

I heard that sometimes people's twins from other universes show up here. I can't even imagine how strange that would feel.

[He was totes stalking Mindy's post about her dad.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

I didn't know those were real!

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

Yeah. This girl's dad is apparently a famous actor in another version of Earth.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Wow, that sounds neat! I wonder if the other me can see.

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

[Aw, Emil, what do you say to that?!]

Um, I don't know. I guess it's possible.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, it was more curious than anything else. ]

It seems so strange to me...that's pretty weird, isn't it.

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

Yeah, strange. I'd feel pretty bad for someone who had to be the same person as me.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Why?

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

[Not qualified to answer this question, abort, abort. Must save Emil's innocence...]

Just... there's some stuff I'd rather no one else had to go through. That's all. Although, I guess in another world they wouldn't have to.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ But...but... ;w; ]

I'm sorry...I didn't mean to remind you of something like that.

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

[Nico just figures Emil is probably better off not knowing his friend is prince of the underworld. Speaking of scary.]

No, no, it's fine. Really. You don't have to apologize. I mean, it's not something that I'm upset about.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ Eh, he is a living weapon. Details, details. ]

Are you sure? I mean, you don't want anyone else to go through it, so it must be difficult.

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

[Okay, how best to explain this without using the word "demigod"...]

Well, it can be dangerous. It's because of, um.... who I'm related to. It's why I have to carry a sword. Lots of people out there after kids like me.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

That's horrible...I'm sorry.

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

It's not that bad. Really. We're tough. I mean, some of my friends have been dealing with it since they were little kids.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

But it's wrong to treat people badly just because of that!

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

It's not like discrimination. It's... it's more like prevention. Because we have a history of growing up to be pretty powerful. Too powerful sometimes.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

It's still not right.

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well... it's just how it is. No use wishing it was any different.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

It's not like this here, right?

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

No. That's the upside about this place. No one knows who we are.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

That's good-- then I hope you don't have to leave.

[childofhades.livejournal.com]

Me too, I guess... Not really anything I miss about home right now.

((ooc: ps it's midnight now, but I won't be taking my Ambien for another half hour at least so I'm still good. I will turn of the computer and shove it under my couch right before I take it.))
