I've always thought they were assholes. Totally lacking in compassion or empathy. [ And that's saying a lot, coming from Curufin, who spent 600 years being his Nighttime self! ]
But what about you, Laura? How are you going to manage being in this place? I'm worried about you.
Not only do they expect us to take it, but they expect us to be grateful for it!
I'm glad you have friends. But what is your goal?
And as for me, I'll be journeying through the Dark between the worlds, hopefully to find a better world than this one. I now know what I am looking for, so I will not be deceived into a trap such as Hadriel. Not twice.
Sometimes I wonder about that. They'd certainly like us to believe that. But we'e gotten along for brief periods of time without them. Maybe it would be possible to pioneer one of these worlds without their "help." Ah well, I won't get the chance to find out!
You're going world-hopping? [ He smiles with delight. ] That's a nice idea. Going to your friend's world to help. And I know you have skills and abilities and perspective that not everyone has, so I think she is lucky to have you come along. What kind of world is Cecily's?
No disagreement from me on that one. You got a second chance, but you're not obligated to be eternally grateful for it. [ Hadriel has such terrible drawbacks that the gods are lucky they can keep anybody in it. Curufin has never believed that the only way to get out is via the Door. He suspects that people find other ways and simply leave for other shores. ]
Nope. 'Cause you're going. To somewhere that isn't here. [she doesn't sound bitter at all]
Hers is way behind mine, technologically speaking, but I've kind of gotten used to it. But her world needs help and I think I can do something about it, so. [shrugs] To Thedas, I go.
Yeah, there's gotta be an expiration date for that kind of thing. I've been here a year. Long enough, I think. [the Door can't be the be-all, end-all of everything]
Thedas is a world I've heard of before. The people I've met that were from it were nice people, or at least interesting people. [ Smile. ] Certainly they were intelligent and inventive. I think they'll welcome you, and I'm guessing you'll feel useful and be happy there.
[ He chuckles. ] An expiration date, eh? Like the last date you can safely drink a carton of milk. The last date you can even be remotely pleased to be here!
An Elf-god? Who would destroy everything? [ Nah, he doesn't know anything about Elves who would kill everybody and everything for one moment of glory! Certainly not!
Luckily, he's a reformed Elf. ]
I think you may have been here longer than I have? More than two years? And you say it's always been this bitter?

Blue and violet are such delicious colors!

thank David Lynch ;)
I'll--I'll manage. I have friends, I have a goal in mind. I'll be okay. What about you?
thank you, David Lynch!!

I'm planning to world-hop. My friend, Cecily, her world's in trouble and I think I can help.
Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm glad they brought me back to life. But this place really has its drawbacks.

I hope so. It's gonna be way different from home, but maybe way different from home is what I need, y'know?
Exactly like that. [ruefully] I guess you've reached yours.
no subject
Different from home sounds good to me! You certainly deserve to find something better.
Yes. This is my expiration date. Hadriel is now too rotten to drink.

It's . . always been on the bitter side.
