11th Spell

Don't be mad at Sylvanas, everyone. It wasn't her fault. I think Arthas used his magic to hypnotize her into doing his bidding and laid his mind eggs inside her patterned brainwaves - all metaphorically, of course. It happens sometimes.

That was fun, though. I've never banished a demon before. I didn't think it would be so complex.

[Private to the dinner crew]

I'm thinking something with molasses. Are any of you good with molding?

[In the evening, Luna skips down the hall to bring dinners to those she didn't see in the lunchroom. On her list is Victor Creed, and so, armed with an apple, she knocks on his door]

Mr. Creed?

You had fun.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Didn't you?

[broughtwhiskey]

Not particularly, no.

[Which isn't entirely a lie. She just didn't ask the question the right way.]

[whatthewrackspurt]

I'm sorry. Maybe the next take-over will be better.

[broughtwhiskey]

Based on history, I'd be inclined to that's not likely.

[whatthewrackspurt]

You never know. What does it hurt to be optimistic?

[broughtwhiskey]

Optimism is blind.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Blindness isn't always a bad thing.

[broughtwhiskey]

Then you've been lucky.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Exceptionally.

Why don't you like looking on the bright side of things?

[broughtwhiskey]

It's better to prepare for the worst. People die otherwise.

[There's also possibly a piece in there about getting your hopes up, but you're not gonna hear him say that out loud.]

[whatthewrackspurt]

People are dead here.

[broughtwhiskey]

And they can die again and again.

[whatthewrackspurt]

They get chances to live again and start over.

[broughtwhiskey]

They don't always deserve it.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Then this might be their time to earn it.

[broughtwhiskey]

There are some things you can't come back from.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Sorry, were we talking about you, or someone else?

[broughtwhiskey]

Someone else.

[And him.]

[Shut up, Luna!!]

[whatthewrackspurt]

Someone on the Barge or someone at home?

[broughtwhiskey]

I'm talking in abstracts. It's no one specific.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Sorry. Only it sounds very...personalized.

[broughtwhiskey]

Then you're reading too much into it.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I'm sorry. You're a curiously closed-off individual.

[broughtwhiskey]

Meaning?
