Time for a Chat
Danielle was resting after another blood test. Vicki wasn't far from her if she needed anything.
There'd been a great deal going on, and Moira had several things on her mind, only some of which she wanted there.
So that afternoon she called up an old pal.

Vincent paused to consider that. "Yes... I suppose it does."

He finished his glass of mead and poured himself another one, warming it this time. "There was a much worse facet than what I had become though. It was why I made a certain sacrifice. Andrea had been nearly lost... and it occurred to me that I can't save her as easily as I could my brother or Cassandra."

Vincent stared out across the lake. "I could pursue lines of magic to create new bodies, move souls about like so much clay, but..." He looked over to Moira. "All of that is meaningless when the girl I care for most doesn't have a soul. She's more than simply a robot... but is what makes her 'her' something that could survive being copied?"

Moira listens to all this and thinks for a while. "Vincent, I'm neither scholar nor mage, but...I would strongly think what makes her her can go as much beyond wires as the soul goes beyond bio-chem-ical reactions." Moira pronounces the 'Granny's Words' as best she can. "I canna tell thee when 'tis wise to interfere with for anyone, though. Mummy always tries to make Da promise not to do 'something rash' when the time comes...." Her speech has gotten thoughtlessly erratic, but no matter.

	"Without undue destruction, and given the chance to maintain herself, Andrea could outlive us all... even myself." Vincent mutters. "But... if even that miserable shade I became in that world was willing and able to save her.. how could I settle for less?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doubt you're much the 'settling' sort," Moira says quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent smirked as he refilled her own glass. "Yes.. that's correct."

"It's haunting though... to not just see but visit a future that crippled and smeared. I.." He winced. "I can't lie to you Moira. I don't want to make the sacrifice my other self did. I'm not the heroic or noble sort, you probably saw that even when we were children. I'm trying to cheat my way around it through a mixture of science and magic."

	"But you were ne'er a coward, either -- and I'm not calling you one now, let me be clear. Vincent, I canna help thinking that if that future is a part of this timeline, 'tis, and if 'tis not, 'tis not." What can she say, she's Asgardian. "Do what you feel you need but try not go mad in the meantime, aye? I dinna think Andrea would like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent runs a hand through his hair, sighing as he drinks more. "I just... I need control. It's how I function. There is normally little I can't out-think or out-talk, and now.. I have nothing. No control. No contingency, yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princess_mutt 2009-08-28 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	She just keeps one hand on his shoulder and nods. "It's...probably not going to be the last thing that doesna fit into your usuallies, Vincent," she says softly, honesty striking some more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You sound like my brother." Vincent huffs slightly. "This is getting too depressing. When can I meet your boyfriend?" He smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure neither of us wants to see you make things harder on yourself," she asserts. Then she perks up, downs her mead, and says "How does two minutes sound?" She sniffs the air. "Aye, I'd say about two." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent raises an eyebrow. "On his way here already?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shakes her head. "He's very close, though. Just a quick walk over." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent smiles and re-corks the bottle. "I think there's another glass left for him if he wishes." (Reply to this)(Parent)
