[Earthquakes, lost friends, drunken choices... this doesn't even surprise her.]

Apparently we all know the castles latest gem, so fair warning I am not the prettiest sight right now.

Still I have things to do, so I understand if those who know me would rather avoid me until this runs it's course and I won't be seeking people out.

Unless I'm needed I'll just be carrying on as normal.

[The journal was closed with a hand that ran red in blood, like most of her body.]

Comments

[compromisedarrow]

You, too?

[well_assembled]

Yeah, not really anything I don't already think about but it could make others uncomfortable.

[compromisedarrow]

Mine just looks tasteless. I think everyone's going to look a mess.

[well_assembled]

How bad is it?

[compromisedarrow]

It's very blue.

[well_assembled]

Not your best color.

[compromisedarrow]

It's pretty painful to look at.

[well_assembled]

The last time I remember it, it was pretty bad too.

[littlesoul]

Blood doesn't scare me.

Though, considering she has her own fair share of blood, that should not be surprising.]

[well_assembled]

No, no it wouldn't, Umnitsa. I don't have to worry about you like I do the others.

[littlesoul]

[River smiles] I can see you, if you get lonely. [Not that she's thinking Natasha gets lonely but well it never hurts to offer.] We can hide ont he roof, mix our blood with the stars.

[well_assembled]

We could pack a late supper and make a night of it, I think that might be nice.

[littlesoul]

All right. We can do that. [She smiles.] Blood mixes with blood and no one sheds it alone.

[well_assembled]

In the end we're all marked by it, almost like family. [It might be cryptic, but Natasha understands, and she makes no judgements.]

[littlesoul]

Blood is almost universal. [She laughs.] We can be a family of those who have lived.

[well_assembled]

It gives whole new meaning to blood relatives. Maybe that makes us something like sisters.

[savethedarkness]

Not a terrible course of action, as our options go. ... Yours seems quite inconvenient.

[well_assembled]

No use in worrying over it, but I know some of the people here can be delicate.

[originalcopy]

Pretty bad huh...

You alright?

[well_assembled]

I'm fine, I was about to ask you the same question. I read that you can't see, is that true?

It's just blood and my past. Not something I have forgotten before this reminder.

[originalcopy]

Yeah... blind as a bat.

And the other thing, but I guess I got off pretty easy considering.

[well_assembled]

I think you have the good part of the on both sides. You don't have to see what others regret either.

Other thing?

[originalcopy]

It's... nothing. My own regret I guess.

[well_assembled]

Fair enough, tip from a pro? Regret serves no useful purpose, if you think you need to atone do it, if not, don't worry about it.

[originalcopy]

It's too late for that.

It's fine anyway... I'm a big boy, I can live with shit.
