I don't want to be immortal. I thought, if I was injured enough, if it blew me apart and no one was there to help. I thought it would work, and that everyone would think it was an accident.

[He can understand, on some level]

Immortality can be a bitch, but nothing stays the same, even when things are at their worst. Is there really nothing that you want to live for?

From:

a_time_slip

There is, but I've messed it all up, and I've done terrible things.

[She's stopped picking up the glass, and is now just staring at the floor]

I wish you'd tell me. [He makes the glass disappear, and the spilt liquid]

I'm an angel, and your friend. I can't judge you, Janie. That never comes from me, even when I'm dishing out retribution, it comes through me.

From:

a_time_slip

I'm a terrible parent... and.. I.

I killed a lot of people. An alternate Ori, um, came after me and Lynn. So I found her and killed her, then everyone else in the compound. Destroyed it until it was nothing but glass and went to every alternate I could find and did the same thing.

Over, and over, and wiped as many of them out as I could. If they ran, I found them.

And I've been giving people to the Master. It bothered me at first, but I don't think I care anymore. The kids are staying between my Father's and Xanders, because I just don't trust myself around anyone I care about. I'd even shown Julian how to operate the Rift Raft, since it was supposed to come back.

[He's about to point out that Lynn is no ordinary kid, and a few other things, but the rest catches him out completely]

[He does have to sit down after that] I... wow. Sounds like the act of a pissed god.

As for the Master.. what kind of people?

From:

a_time_slip

A pissed god? I don't think I'm strong enough for that. I feel terrible whenever I think of it.

My neighbors, anyone who bothers me too much, some jerks... Gio, who managed to come back some how.

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

Were you angry? I.. just can't imagine you going that far. I wish we could talk to Ylaia, she knows plenty of shit about you, I'm sure of it.

Gio? Cool. I uhh, fed him a few poor bastards too y'know.

From:

a_time_slip

Yes. I was angrier than I've ever been. They went after the baby, and Lynn. No one hurts my children.

I thought you stopped feeding him.

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

Hnh. I can't swear I could hold back if anyone hurt Sam. If I'd had the power to kill Solus over and over again.. I'd have done it.

Haven't seen him in a while, I do actually miss him.

From:

a_time_slip

You don't think I'm terrible for it? What I did was genocide. And if I'd... shit. Lynn wasn't supposed to be on the boat.

I like him, a lot. He's a great friend to have.

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

I can't judge you, honey. If anybody is, doubt it'll come through me. My own people have done some pretty appalling things, genocide included. [He's not sure what to think, but they're immortals, gods even. Whatever Janie's connection is, with his people, it's strong, and he can't condemn her] If she hadn't snuck onboard,... I shouldn't say it, but I'm glad she did. 'Cause you're here.

Eh, he likes you better. Doubt I'd be able to get to know him much better. Fucking enigmatic time Lords.

From:

a_time_slip

They weren't going to stop... [Beware the Janie wrath. Anyway, those people were doomed from the very beginning] I'm sorry, Phoenix. So, so sorry for all of this.

He does? You really think so? [Janie smiles, just a bit]

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

Honey. The fact you tried to kill yourself does rather prove you have a conscience, and that you're not the fucking antichrist, doesn't it. [He'll be standing and giving her a hug now] Don't be. Just.. please, try and.. stay.

What's not to like? [He shrugs] You really fed Gio to him, huh?

From:

a_time_slip

[She needs the hug, and clings, trying not to sniffle] What if it gets too hard again?

I even watched. Every bite.

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

Then come to me? Don't keep a lid on it, it's too big for you to .. I'll make you a deal. If you come to me, for everything you tell me, I'll tell you something I never talked about before. [WHAT THE FUCK IS HE SAYING? It's out of his mouth before he can engage his brain]

Uhm. I did make the effort, once they'd stopped all that screaming.

From:

a_time_slip

[Janie nods, not realizing how easily abused that offer can be.]

I learned to tune it out. To turn myself off...

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

[His head is spinning a bit. An act of trust, maybe, or complete and utter insanity]

I could if I had to. There's been times on missions... Think we can keep Cattivo locked up somehow? Get him eaten over and over again? [He's almost joking]

From:

a_time_slip

[Maybe it won't come up? Maybe?]

[...And Janie just did something weird with time, just for a second, a flash of power] Do you want me to do that? I will.. His alternates.

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

[It might actually do the idiot angel some good if it did]

No! I.. no. [That's a little alarming, that thing there, he can feel it but doesn't know what she's done]

From:

a_time_slip

[Okay, will file that away for future knowledge]

Right. I won't. I'll leave him alone. [Annd, she calms down. Silly powers that she can't control yet!] I could do it. Whatever you want.

From:

ashes-ascended.livejournal.com

[There's something truly powerful in Janie. Ylaia was right, she'll become far more powerful than Phoenix.. it's kinda sexy]

Uhh.. yeah. We.. Honey, we can't let ourselves become no better than them. Killing's one thing. Eternal torment.. that's not something you should take lightly.
