I refuse to let that be my fate. I don't care how hopeless it seems, I'm going to create my own path and not let that be me.

If only it wasn't easier said than done.

[Allen is in the library, sitting at a table with several books around him. Most of them are on the subject of different types of demons in various worlds, possessions and types of exorcisms. He seems very focused, paging and reading through one as Timcanpy sits on his shoulder, peering down at it. When he reads a certain passage, his face makes a disgusted expression]

All right, that's...rather...disgusting...

You read through all of those, Allen?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[an amused sound at that idea] That's possible...

No, not yet. I'm just taking a short break.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Good idea. Eyestrain's pretty bad, and so's cramming a ton of information in all at once, I bet.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Mm, and most of this stuff barely makes any sense.

[a sigh]

How are you, Ravi?

[drops his hand on Allen's shoulder]

Well, you've got plenty of time to keep reading some other time, right?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Me? I'm doing fine, Allen. I signed up at the Pie Hole and ran into Rinali. You saw her, right?

[Glances up at him]

Yeah, that's true.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Mm, I saw her...this place seems to like turning her into a child.

What do you mean you signed up at the Pie Hole?

Think we gotta do pretty much the same thing we did last time round? She sounded kinda worried we were gonna "make her go back".

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

I'm a new waiter there. You wanna drop by sometime?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

From what she's told me before, I'm not too surprised by that...

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[a nod] Of course I do!

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Sounds like she got less worried about it after a while, at least...

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Great! Now I just gotta ask Miranda and see if General Cloud might not be against a pie shop, either.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe she can tell that we're different.

...Why would she be against pie shops?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Well... I got no idea if she likes 'em, that's all.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[a small smile]

I'm sure as long as you keep up with training, she'll be fine with it.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Hey, 'course I'm not gonna forget about training!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I know you won't, Ravi.

But I'll make sure to visit you and Claire at the Pie Hole a lot! I'm a bit curious to see what it's like now that Ned's gone.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Hope she knows that, too...

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Anyway, it'll be great to have a regular customer, or moral support over there.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

You're worried that she doesn't?

Yeah, and I'll make sure to give you lots of that!

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Well, she wanted to come watch all of us, right?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Allen! I'll be extra waiter-like.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah...she's going to watch me tomorrow morning.
