CFUW 135 - Shepherd's Tea Party

[moextispicy]

[the little room with the computer has become even more lush and cozy than the wolves' room, and Lambda and Rika have settled in there to gossip and be "helpful" towards Accelerator's efforts.]

[giggles] Fugu's a bit surprisingly boring, isn't it?

[blinks bemusedly] Being an esper.

[velocivector]

. . . Becoming one at all, I don't know. How I handled the problems that came with it, that I regret. That was a conscious choice on my part, unlike my parents enrolling me in the city's power curriculum.

I was a stupid kid younger than you with no one I could trust. I came up with a stupid, idealistic idea of how to prevent conflict, and then I got used by scientists who wanted to cash in on success by working with prize research material.

[moextispicy]

Ah. [wry, bitter smile] I'm sorry.

[velocivector]

[shrugs. those hors d'oeurves are tasty, he's gonna have another.]

It's in the past. It fucked me up, but it made me who I am. I'm better off just making the best of repaying my debts.

[moextispicy]

Probably. [considering]

[velocivector]

[low grumble]

. . . I'm still stuck on how.

[moextispicy]

[blink blink] Atonement, you mean?

[velocivector]

Yeah.

[moextispicy]

[shrugs] You don't.

[trying to think of the right words. Why are you making me brain when drunk :(]

[velocivector]

[downward glance]

. . . I'm not expecting to have the answer handed to me. Life's never that convenient.

[moextispicy]

Tch. That too. [shrugs, giving up on finding better words] All you can do is be a different person.
