hearrrtofgoldThe Admiral appears to be running on a Julian calendar – thank God – which is pretty standard for most of us. And for those who don’t know: our new year starts at midnight in two days. So we’ve got another upcoming holiday and a bar. We could have karaoke. [He says it with the salacious, promising tone in which one might say "public sex" or "veal."]
Let me know if this sounds good. And if anyone has ideas, or wants help put things together, whatever, let me know that too. Just CC me on anything to do with this, really.

Date: 2014-12-31 11:10 am (UTC)Wait. Evidence? Seriously? I see why she goes by Evi.
So... you want to make the people from your home not have superpowers?
[private]
Date: 2014-12-31 11:16 am (UTC)Seriously. That was a very awkward marriage ceremony -- "Do you, Duke, take this woman, Evidence"...
They're not really superpowers, for us. We call them Troubles, or Curses.
[private]
Date: 2014-12-31 11:22 am (UTC)Well, was there a reason for that choice in name?
That's a bit ominous, don't you think? So if they aren't actually superpowers then what are they? Or, how does it work?
[private]
Date: 2014-12-31 11:26 am (UTC)It may be ominous, but it's fitting. They're curses -- like superpowers, but in virtually every case they can't be used for anything good.

Date: 2014-12-31 11:28 pm (UTC)So you're getting rid of these Troubles for them so they can have a better life.

Date: 2015-01-01 02:43 am (UTC)But you know the Admiral can't just get rid of it, then?
[private]
Date: 2015-01-01 03:22 am (UTC)The only thing we know for sure about the Troubles is that they run deeper than we think. If he just got rid of them, we have no idea what the consequences would be. [And Audrey might never come back.]

Date: 2015-01-01 04:30 am (UTC)Then, how are you going to help?
[private]
Date: 2015-01-01 09:09 pm (UTC)We know one way to end the Troubles, but we can't do it. I want to find another one.

Date: 2015-01-02 04:07 am (UTC)[He pauses.] This probably sounds really dumb to you.
[private]
Date: 2015-01-02 04:20 am (UTC)[Pfft.]
I'm hardly one to judge. But no, it's not dumb. I think you're making it harder on yourself, but you probably think it's the right thing to do and you definitely know this more than I do so.
[private]
Date: 2015-01-02 05:51 am (UTC)Maybe I am. But it's hard to start with, you know? There are parameters to work in that I don't understand. This is the best I can do right now.
[private]
Date: 2015-01-02 10:35 am (UTC)Well, you do have a library full of books from a lot of different worlds all at your disposal. And literally all the time in the world. With all of that, you could probably find another way.

Date: 2015-01-03 02:36 am (UTC)...Thanks.
