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.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

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.

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.

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.

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.}

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.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

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

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

How sweet of him.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

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

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.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

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

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

We're as parted right now as we can be.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

No, you are not. If you cannot manage a sincere letter -- a one-sided conversation -- that shows you have moved on? Then you are not parted.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I don't know why I have to write a letter to prove it.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Because that is what we agreed upon.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I want a new agreement.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You can't have one.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Why not?

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Because it needs to be done.
