018; frustration

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Time is quickly coming to an end for me. I can feel it, every moment passing by, every turn of this planet through space, everything... Soon I'll be gone. I've already gone. I've yet to arrive. Ah, time, completely and entirely relative...

And on top of all of it, I've got a very dark and very angry headache that won't silence itself.

[the sounds of a sort of calm, relaxing music music, but played loudly - as if he were trying to drown out his own thoughts.

"Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes

I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams..."

Followed by a distinct groan of frustration and a change to the music to something that starts with:

"Long time, no see
Short time for you and me..."

Then it goes silent.]

I need to do something productive while I can. Destroying the weapons cache isn't enough. It'll never be enough. It'll just be a temporary problem, one easily fixed. There has got to be something more I can do!

Cut off your arms, perhaps?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

... Something productive. I'm afraid cutting my arm off would only be problematic.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

We're afraid productivity is in the eye of the beholder. For the sake of clarity, what do you hope to accomplish?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

I'm fully intending to cause a wide variety of problems for my... alter-ego providing things do not pan out as I've planned them to. As I cannot atone for the things I've done with the time I've been granted, being a massive annoyance is about the best I can do.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

We imagine a lack of arms to be quite an annoyance.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

I'm quite attached to my arms, sorry.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

We imagine The Master is, too.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Still, must decline. I'd rather like to keep them.

[twoto-two.livejournal.com]

We suppose such an act requires unsurmountable determination; we do not blame you for stepping down.

Unfortunately, we haven't any other brilliant ideas at the moment: we're a tad distracted.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, my personal determination has never been towards maiming.


Ah, well, no worries. I'm certain I'll think of something brilliant soon enough.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

Lobotomy.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

As above, only problematic, not productive. And rather painful, too.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

On the last before you return to normal, allow someone to kill you?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

... I've... I've already asked.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

Would you like to anger and/or humiliate your future/past self?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Not anger nor humiliate, exactly, I just wish to cause him problems and otherwisely prevent any future damage he may do.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

Cutting out bits of the brain still sounds fantastic for that sort of thing.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Must decline! Lobotomies rarely work out.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're just a sissy.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

No, I'm just speaking from second-hand experiance.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

It seems extremely effective to stop yourself from doing ill by rendering yourself unable to function.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

That's an antiquated version of punishment. Regardless of crimes commited, I do not believe such brutality can solve anything.

I'm afraid it simply won't work.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

... You're willing to die but not get lobotomized?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Yep. It does seem rather silly, but... it's for the best.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

How?

Dying solves the problem for three weeks.
Lobotomy, with a little creativity, solves the problem forever.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

What? What do you mean, three weeks? Death is permanent... well, er, normally.

[oneto-one.livejournal.com]

You didn't know?

The castle restores residents to life within three weeks of their death.

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

You said that you had strong hypnotizing abilities, right? Could you not hypnotize yourself to keep being Koschei?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

There is a tad bit of a problem with that... I have to look into the person's eyes. Sort of hard to do that, and mirrors don't work as well as you'd think.

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

It was a good suggestion though...

Perhaps...

You've given me an idea! Thank you!

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

I did?

All right. ^^

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Indeed, you did! Thanks again!

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

^^

But, what did you think of?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Theta knows some hypnotism as well. He's not as good as me, but maybe he can do something.

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

I see.

Then you can best friends. ^-^
