Fine. You people want to play that way?
Enjoy educating newcomers by yourselves. I'm done helping you.
[And, true to his word, he won't be handing out any more letters, at least for the moment. Explain what he's talking about? Why in the world would he do that? Obviously the actions of maybe three people is enough for him to throw a tantrum over the phone lines.]

[Anyone who might see Dist walking through the streets can see that he's an absolute wreck. Not emotionally -- his expression is uncharacteristically stony. It's his face that's busted up, bruised across his cheek and mouth and his left eye patched over. Well, the place where his left eye should be, but that's not exactly visible. It'd happened a couple of days ago, but that's not quite long enough to heal fully, so for now he's just combed his hair forward a bit in an attempt to cover it all up.
He does seem to have a destination in mind, though, as he's walking particularly quickly.]

Date: 2011-09-25 07:35 pm (UTC)Do you know the Major?

Date: 2011-09-25 07:39 pm (UTC)Indeed I do. He's an interesting man whose thoughts aren't quite commonplace in society. I would be grateful if we could either form a partnership or have ourselves a good war. Either way sounds entertaining.

Date: 2011-09-25 07:50 pm (UTC)I hate him. He used me just like everyone else. Worse then they did.
[Oh, someone sounds burned.]

You speak about how your mind and skills are being used by so many people. But it seems to me that you allow yourself to be used. The record appears to be fairly consistent with that line of thought. You complain about being used all the while you do nothing to stop it. Nothing. That is why men like "them" or the Major take advantage of you.
People learn either through encouragement or lectures. I have tried the prior, but it seems the latter will do. Here is a summary of what I'm trying to say, Dist. Remedy your crippling dependence to others and show your true worth. In other words, make them regret ever crossing you.

[It's weak, and he knows it.]

Date: 2011-09-25 08:36 pm (UTC)Of course they do. You're going to make them need you, after all. Just take a sip of water and... relax for a little while.
As for me, I have business to take care of. You'll be all right, I trust?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-25 08:45 pm (UTC)And I'll be fine.
[Can't have people thinking they need to keep an eye on him, after all.]
no subject
Date: 2011-09-25 08:48 pm (UTC)[Ironically, he's the one who caused most of its damages...]
If you have any reason to see me, then that is where I will usually be.

Date: 2011-09-25 09:04 pm (UTC)If I do, then that's where I'll go.
