Third ☂ Text

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

With fire.

[ Fire leads to purity, cleanliness, and only then shall God come forth. But the fires did not purify Alessa, she was too hurt and betrayed to let Paradise enter the world. She became the devil of her own hell instead. ]

[Fuck.

Ronan closes his eyes and sees it, the dragon, the devil, like a motherfucking thief. He's seen the fire consume and he's seen Kavinsky die for it. The death isn't something that he really regrets, but the dying... that's something else.

In another life, it would have been Ronan. In another life, he would have hollowed himself out and burned everything around him.

He's glad that this isn't that life.]

im sorry. its not easy to watch.

No, it's not. There are some images you never forget. [ She burned but she's witnessed it, too. She watched as they strung up a police officer, all beaten and bloody and bruised and still fighting. As the fires ate her, she cursed them. She cursed them all.

She would have been next if it hadn't been for Rose. To suffer the fires twice? That would have just been too cruel. ]

Yeah, I got some experience with the drinking-to-forget thing but I've found that... even after drinking, I can sometimes still hear her scream. And then it's like it's happening all over again, just with beer goggles.

[ And lots of getting sick. ]
