5th Gate

[Well, residents. It is time for that question that seems to pop up at least once a month or at least several times a year when a holiday comes around. You all know that question. The question from the poor souls who have no idea what it is all the fuss is about, and not sure they want to know. But being as they don't want to be caught unawares, they ask anyways.]

I have been hearing chatter about this and have read some of it in some quite old entries in the journal, but... What, precisely, is Valentine's Day?

Me, neither. It's totally fucked up. I've been on a loss where I just... I did shit I'd never do if I was in control.

It sounds to much like dark magic, to my tastes.
eat_me_beat_me: (abuh?)

I dunno about that. There isn't any magic in the world I come from.

Then be glad. Dark magic is something I would wish on no one.

Dark magic? Is that as bad as it sounds?...

Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. Dark magic is a selfish thing, and in the end hurts everyone - even the user.
eat_me_beat_me: (wtf)

[personal profile] eat_me_beat_me 2012-02-15 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Even the user? Then why would anyone want to do it? Are they all fucking masochists or something?

The lust for power. You would be surprised what the promise can make a man do.

I guess that makes sense. It's like, when my principal took over the school and she suddenly had power over it she started running it like it was her own little country.

... I know that's probably peanuts compared to the shit people could do with dark magic but it's the only thing I've seen, myself.

It is a nice enough analogy, just with more dire consequences on the dark mage side.

I ended up expelled and arrested. That's about as dire as I get.

The consequences for dark magic usually lead to death and much blood. A bit worse, I suspect.
eat_me_beat_me: (wtf)

Yeeaaah. I mean, there are some places back home where you can die if you do shit, but nothing like that...

Alas, that is my world.

I'm sorry...
