This month seems to be attempting to form some irritating traditions around us. I believe that might be the third flood I've encountered with those effects. One would think they might be more eventful. Better that they're not, but self-control is a virtue so rarely praised on this ship.

Does no one ever question the sudden onset of obsession they feel for certain people? Especially when there has been nothing to build it upon save, perhaps, indifference? Anyone who has been in love knows it never happens that way.

[Private to Iago]

How are you feeling?

Private- Iago deals by being a jerk

My heart is broken, Marquis. I'm not sure if I can cope.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

As much as I enjoy these games, dearheart, some sincerity would benefit both of us.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Why are you always so boring?

I'm fine, Marquis.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You are being irritatingly pretentious. I have done nothing to warrant this treatment.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I suppose not. But I still don't want to do this with you right now.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You have nothing to be ashamed of; you weren't in control of yourself.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I'm not ashamed.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Embarrassed? Disgusted? I'm certain there's a whole range of emotions, and I do not blame you. But I said that I would not take advantage of you, and I did not.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I would have been very surprised if you had.

I can't write that letter, Marquis.

If you don't properly part ways from him you're never going to be free of him.

I think that's one of the problems of the flood. I know that for me, the multiple times I've been affected, it just nullifies my sense of self-control.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I've only been affected once. However -- the trouble is I think it merely intensified feelings I already had.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

That's the problem. One time when I was affected, it made me love someone I absolutely hated.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

It was my inmate affected, not me, and I wasn't entirely certain since he's oddly obsessive about me, although not usually in the giving me flowers sort of way.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

How sweet of him.

But not to you.]

I believe it to be the more alarming matter. For compulsions are natural even as the ones here are forced and artificial, but to remove one's reasoning, the ability to question...it is not something on which it is prudent to dwell.

{It is...good to know that it was indeed a flood, though.}

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

So you're saying you'd rather not think about it.

{Video}

[so-meretricious.livejournal.com]

Yes, quite succinct. This is especially the case as there is nothing seemingly that can be done about it, barring exit.

{Video}

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You might attempt to speak to him about it.

{Video}

[so-meretricious.livejournal.com]

There is no need to speak of these things.

{Video}

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

No, our Inmates will simply improve if we hover in the distance and make certain nothing kills them.

{Video}

[so-meretricious.livejournal.com]

{...It's worked so far?}

It is a hardly decorous matter, and speaking of it will only hinder.

{Video}

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Refusing to speak of it will only make them think they can ignore their problems. This is not simply a new life for them -- they are here to confront what they have done to bring them to their end and earn that new life. In that time we are also meant to prepare them so they do not make the same mistakes again, and history repeats when it is ignored.

{Video | Private} - oh ho ho you got him to turn on the filter

[so-meretricious.livejournal.com]

There is nothing to learn from a mistake you were involuntarily compelled to commit. Furthermore, it is a matter with no bearing on his crimes.

{Or maybe he's just getting really edgy talking about it.}
