General Notice

[impure_tale]

Admiral, Iago's bed and books are to be removed from his chambers. A simple straw mattress will suffice.

Monsieur Sofer, if you are still experiencing shortages in the kitchen, feel free to add my Inmate to any shifts he does not already attend, and I want him on nightly cleanup. If he misses a shift, he is not to be fed.

My Inmate is not to be found anywhere within the vicinity of either the Master, or Judas Iscariot, without my prior sanction.

No. I'm not going. I won't do it.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Then you will not eat or see Judas again.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Fine. Do what you need to do. You have taken everything away from me anyway.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Grow up, you sniveling little whelp!

You took it away from yourself.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I had everything I ever wanted. Everything! And you took it from me. I had a life. I had a home. I was useful. Productive. Here, I am nothing. NOTHING.

Just...let me go to hell, then. Send me on my way. And you...you can go ROT in your own self righteousness.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You pandered to a known mass murderer, are a liar, and a murderer, yourself. You're also a disgrace to any form of civilized military.

And if that's all you are, then you really are nothing.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Good of you to tell me you felt in such a way. Go find yourself another inmate. I do not want you. I do not want any warden.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Well you've got me, whether you like it or not. If you had stayed in that world, I would have remained as well. You will not be rid of me. And if you're not on the dinner line in the next half hour, I'm going to show you what commanding officers do to obstinate privates in the academies where I was decorated.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I won't be there. I want nothing to do with it.

I care not what you do to me now.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You've had your warning.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I consider myself warned.

Private- Added after he's had some time to calm down

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

If I explain something, will you promise to listen without judgment?

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Of course, m Iago.

Private

I can see that many people have misconstrued this situation completely. They believed what I told the citizens. They have taken what I said in public to be the complete truth. They do not understand.

Despite what you might think, I didn't have many choices. Ask Judas how many times he had been shot at over the years. Or how many times people had tried to kill him. I know most of those orders came from the Master or the Ministry, so I did what I could to make him safe. I did what I did to protect Judas.

Because if I disappointed him or upset him, who do you think would be the first one to die? And people don't come back.

Now, I will not pretend that I hated being there. I did not. I did enjoy it and yes, I did enjoy the Arena sometimes. I did enjoy the power it gave me.

But please, for God's sake or any other sake you wish, do not use Judas against me. Do you know how many times I almost lost him? It was Judas who kept me from become a monster, Marquis. He kept me from turning into the man everyone thought I was.

Three years I have loved him, yes. But only a fool would think that I don't need him now, in this terrible time. Only a fool would think that I could tolerate being separated from him now, when I need him the most.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

Then I will come to see him.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Stop being an obstinate child.

If the two of you had been mature about this from the beginning, it would have been a week's punishment, with visits to be supervised, and then you would have been done.

You're not inspiring me to end this any sooner.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

You would not let me see him period. That is what I have read. I have reasons for my anger and you continue to ignore them.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

It is likely because Iago would not speak of his deeds publicly where you could read them and insisted on private comments. He answered some questions, I permitted visitation -- on the condition that he tether public apologies, which as you can see he openly refused to do.

What have I ignored? I am under the impression that I have responded to you at every turn.

Just because I do not respond the way you want me to, and I do not afford to you the same special treatment the two of you enjoyed under the Master, does not mean I am ignoring you.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

You would have him say things to upset me.

I want to see Iago, even if just for a few moments. And I will do what you want me to. Be silent, whatever it is.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I would have him be truthful with you. If you love him, then you'll forgive him. That's what love is.

Allowing them to do evil simply because you love them, however, is not.

If he completes a day of service, then with Sexby's approval, you may.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

I do forgive him. I have already forgiven him, but you would not forgive him despite the fact that you should care for him as much as I do. You would have him see me as nothing more than a body to fuck and he sees me as much more.

Then I will sit and wait and encourage him from where I am to do his service.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I would not have him see you that way, Judas. I spoke out of anger, then, and I apologize.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

You do many things out of anger and no one corrects you. I respond out of anger and I am condemned. Do you not see why this would frustrate me?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Oh they do, on occasion. Most times I must correct myself. Believe me that I understand that unfairness.

I had six Wardens in the time I was an Inmate. I'm not a stranger to being treated unfairly.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

Did any of them ever take you from someone you loved?
