...I don't know what you expect me to say. You have a lot of ideas about what you're "supposed" to be, and yet here you are...already convinced yourself that you're out of options. So what else can I say? I could tell you it isn't over yet. It isn't even close. I could tell you that have more options than you realize. I could remind you of what you've already survived. I could even tell you how powerful you really are, if it would help.
But you don't really want to listen to any of that, do you? You don't want to do anything but be angry right now. So go ahead. Be angry. Be angry at her, at me, at yourself.
But you still have to decide. Even if you want to give up, that is a decision only you can make. It won't ever be easy. It won't ever...be fair. But it will be the right choice, if it's the one you chose.

Date: 2015-02-11 06:17 pm (UTC)Even if I get people killed? Even if my own spitefulness dooms others just because I have to be angry?!
I can't do it. I can't being nice and kind, but being angry always...it ALWAYS....it's a horrible feeling and what sorta hero feels stuff like this?!
no subject
Date: 2015-02-12 08:00 am (UTC)But I do know what it's like to be angry. And I'm telling you that you can use it. It is a weapon like any blade. It can cause pain...or it can defend what's important. But if you want it to do any good at all, you have to take control of it. And that's something only you can do.

Date: 2015-02-12 08:14 am (UTC)Anger is more honest than kindness.
no subject
Date: 2015-02-12 08:32 am (UTC)Why it is more honest?
no subject
Date: 2015-02-12 09:24 am (UTC)Anger is never a lie. It's not a choice. It's a reaction. It can be buried, hidden away...you can reject it or control it. But you don't choose it.
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 05:33 am (UTC)Heh.
Didn't realize people had such a hard time with kindness. I thought it was just...natural.
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 06:45 am (UTC)Kindness has to be learned. It has to be taught.
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 06:57 am (UTC)I'm just....I'm so MAD about everything. None of it's FAIR. It's not like I wanted a lot. My family, a few friends, just allowed to live something like a normal life.
But I wasn't even allowed to feel safe.
Where did I even learn to be kind....?
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 07:35 am (UTC)But I know that you have every right to be mad. You deserve to be mad. Because it wasn't fair. It wasn't right, none of it.
There is no shame in your rage.

Date: 2015-02-13 08:03 am (UTC)Mistakes happen. You can hurt people even if you are always kind.
But that's what I mean by controlling it. The same rage that can hurt someone innocent will also make you strong against those who do deserve it. If you only learn how to use it.

Date: 2015-02-13 08:15 am (UTC)She wants you to feel guilty about it, but this isn't your problem. If you want to try and help them, it's your choice. Not your responsibility.

Date: 2015-02-13 08:26 am (UTC)[And welcome to the WHIPLASH THAT IS RAGE.]
[You've appeared back in the Neighborhood.]
[There's a building collapsing near you, and an injured Carapacian is trying to get out of the way of it.]
[It seems unlikely you'll be able to save them unscathed simply grabbing and running/flying.]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 08:59 am (UTC)I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT? I GUESS I'LL TRY?? TO SAVE THEM ANYWAY??? TOO BAD I DON'T HAVE ANY WINDY OR VOIDY THINGS TO HELP ME THOUGH!!!
what kind of lame power is heart anyway]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 09:01 am (UTC)[Gosh, that wall is coming down on you two.]
[....and I dunno, you're a manipulator of Heart inside a heart.]
[I mean.]
[Seriously.]
[Ma-ti had terrifying powers if applied right.]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 09:16 am (UTC)...wait, I'm literally inside a heart. And I'm a fucking Witch of Heart. What can witches do. Turn shit into frogs? Can I turn this wall into a frog?
...okay probably not. But if I CAN manipulate Heart than maybe I can manipulate this heart. Specifically, can I physically manipulate this wall - which, I emphasize, is literally made of heartstuff - to not crush me?
Because again, NOT being crushed by a wall today would be really great.]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 09:24 am (UTC)[It also does, in fact, turn into a frog.]
[Your injured Carapacian has now done some flaily thing like a gasp and begun bowing to the frog.]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-13 10:22 am (UTC)She just. Stares at this absurd frog-bowing display in shock for a minute before giving a strangled little laugh because this changes everything. Hey Roxy, what was that you said earlier? Something about not brute-forcing changes? I can't seem to remember over the sound of me putting out the fires!!
DON'T WORRY I AM A PROFESSIONAL SOUL MANIPULATOR. KIDS, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-14 02:31 am (UTC)[Because this is a VERY BIG ROOM.]
[Like.]
[It's an actual city okay.]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-14 03:17 am (UTC)Okay no. She INTENDS to put them all out (starting from the immediate area and moving outward, specifically) but the actual result will be, uh, whatever is actually possible.
If it makes a difference, because hearts are weird and it might, she truly believes in her ability to take care of all of them. Because she has suddenly become very aware that this is all an illusion of Roxy's mind and she DOES have practice screwing with people's souls. She is also ONLY focusing on the fires right now and not any other aspects of the buildings or the situation (she's not even thinking about the smoke, just the flames themselves).]
no subject
Date: 2015-02-14 03:29 am (UTC)[WELL, you do start putting out several blocks worth of fires.]
[But that kind of gets attention of some friendly twelve foot tall sorts.]
