tongueamok| Hello, this is Carlisle. I mean, it's not Carlisle as in I'm actually answering you right now, so if you're trying to reply to me at the second, you should probably save your breath because I'm not really here. This is some kind of a recording of my voice, but this is my communicator. I'm going to assume these devices are as common here as they are in other places — not my world, but others, ones more technologically advanced than where I come from— so if you'd like to leave me a message, then you may do so here, or er... Right. Here is fine. So just leave yo— [beep] |

Date: 2017-05-07 05:09 am (UTC)Perhaps now, but... I still dominated his will. He holds it against me to this day, and yet he wants me to teach him how to heal. I don't know if I can. I... I don't know if I should.
[And any mirth from that pun dissipates as he continues.]
And I don't know what he will do if I tell him I won't.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-07 05:43 am (UTC)[She scoffs at his reply.] If it wasn't you, he'd have done the same.
[Two wrongs don't make a right, sure. But neither does letting someone beat the crap out of you, and Rey has seen what Shadow had done to his "sparring partner" on the network. She wasn't there to know one way or another, but the irony is glaring.]
So, he... threatens you, burns down your shit, and now he wants you to play teacher for him? Don't say he's even holding that stuff you did over your head, too.
[Unbelievable, but not impossible.]
Does anyone else know about this?
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-07 06:04 am (UTC)I informed Glacius only a short time ago. I... have not been entirely forthcoming with him regarding this.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-07 07:04 am (UTC)[Sigh. But still.]
And you're feeling more forthcoming about it now?
[It seems like an odd course of action, even if she suspects what the reasons might be.]
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-07 07:16 am (UTC)... Not particularly, no. I- I only told him because it seemed I- I mean, it was difficult to keep avoiding it. He wanted to set things right somehow, but I didn't-
[Stumbling over his words again, he finally stops for a second to gather his thoughts.]
I didn't want him to know who did it because Shadow was my friend, and... I wronged him. He may have started this, but I- I deserved what happened, in a way.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-07 10:06 pm (UTC)[Which is rich, coming from Rey, who has very little idea on how friendships are supposed to work. But while she might have her moments, even she knows better than to treat the ones she cares about like that. It doesn't surprise her in this case, though; considering that they're talking about someone who chastised her for not resorting to physical violence against her stubborn roommate for walking around on a bum leg. Because that's counterproductive.]
Can't tell you who to tell this stuff to, but for what it's worth, it doesn't sound like you deserve any of that shit. You don't owe him a damned thing, either.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 12:28 am (UTC)[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 03:42 am (UTC)[Not that she doesn't believe him; just making sure.]
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 03:49 am (UTC)If he's desperate enough to threaten me over it, I don't see why he would.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 03:59 am (UTC)Take it that's another thing you haven't been forthcoming about with anyone else?
[Because it feels weird that he is with her, despite how their conversation is going. Just... yeah. What is even going on here.]
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 04:02 am (UTC)[That'd be a yes, this is another thing I haven't been forthcoming about with anyone else, perhaps even Glacius, who certainly would like to know such things, but I may have skimped on the details when relating this to him for fear of what he may do or what may be done to him. While Carlisle wouldn't consider Rey much more than a friendly acquaintance, it is admittedly easier to tell such things to an unrelated party, especially one who has no need to fear repercussions from a magic-wielding Forest Folk.]
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 04:20 am (UTC)Look, you shouldn't have to be forced to do fuck all for this guy if you really don't want to. Am not going to just do nothing if he tries.
[Rey hasn't worked out the "what" and "how" parts of that yet, but she'll come up with something.]
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 04:25 am (UTC)I'm- I'm sorry, what?
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 01:57 pm (UTC)[Ha ha. But really, she's being dead serious about this.]
If he continues pulling that shit on you, will deal with him. Am not going to let that fly. [Rey might be a lot of bad things herself, but inaction is not part of her vocabulary.]
[voice]

Date: 2017-05-09 08:48 pm (UTC)[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 08:49 pm (UTC)[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 09:39 pm (UTC)No offense, but if he's threatening bodily harm in order to coerce you into doing shit for him, he's not your friend.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 09:46 pm (UTC)So I have been told, but... hm.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 10:06 pm (UTC)Am just saying, either he needs to get his collective shit together or he fucks off. If he's going to threaten you and beat some other guy to a bloody pulp, it's only a matter of time before he goes even further, whether it's on you or someone else.
[After all, Rey knows the type when she sees one. She is that type.]
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-09 10:21 pm (UTC)[His tone is quiet agreement rather than deflection. He seems to be considering this.]
I will do some thinking and inform him of my decision. Thank you, Miss Rey. Truly.
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-10 12:26 am (UTC)[Seriously, don't. She'd rather see how this pans out.]
If he gives you shit, just say so. That way you can keep people you like out of it. [Since she's assuming that he didn't explain all this to her because they're friends.]
[voice]
Date: 2017-05-10 12:50 am (UTC)[Not that he doesn't like Miss Rey -- he always found her company to be fairly interesting back in the jungle, actually -- but he knows she'd be safer handling a fire-conjuring Forest Folk than his ice-covered partner.]
