Well, I have to say, I wasn't expecting the rabbits to set me on fire. There goes another jacket- but the City gets points for originality.

Even I'm starting to get tired of this weather. It was nice seeing a real winter, for once, but now I'm reminded of why I was always so glad when they were over with.

[ Deity Filter ]

This is a message out to the deities. Do any of you remember that deal I made a year and a half ago? Where I lost my powers for a month and you were supposed to give someone's life back?

[There's no puppy on the screen. Instead, you're greeted with a different nose. One belonging to this guy.

Because of course he kept one.]

[Uh oh. He already spooked one on accident. He'll be trying to make sure he doesn't do that to this one.]

Hey there, little guy. Don't explode, okay?

[The bunny doesn't react but moves slightly to the left of the screen. Which makes sense, since on the right, you can see Anthony entering the picture. He's crawling on the floor, his movements smooth and slow, clearly intent on not scaring the bunny.]

Hey there Thumper... There's nothing to be afraid of, Thumper... It's just me. I'll take care of you... No need to be afraid, I'll make it okay. Come on, Thumper. You can trust me...

[it's either hilarious or disconcerning, but he's using the same tone of voice you heard him use before on yourself, Gabriel. XD]

[He'd be laughing if that weren't likely to set the rabbit off. So for now he just smiles and switches to text. Much less likely to make Anthony jump if he doesn't realize he's transmitting yet.]

He's cute. Are you going to try to keep him?

Maybe.

Apparently it's my thing. And Donatello could use some company now that Rudy took Alexander and moved.

As long as you're not trying to save all of them. I'm fairly sure that wouldn't go well. I'm sure Donatello would appreciate the company, though.

How are you, today?

You're good at finding those.

That doesn't exactly inspire confidence, you know. Do you need help? Are you burned?

You don't think it's a good idea to keep him?

Just a little, nothing serious. If I needed help I'd see a doctor. I'm friends with one.

From: [identity profile] makes-you-tick.livejournal.com
Just the opposite. It sounds like he could really use your help.

Okay, if you're sure. I'd come by and check on you, but I'm not very good at keeping these things calm. I suppose I startle a little too easily myself. Still, I hope they stick around after tonight. [he's going to find you another rabbit if they don't, Anthony. He's already decided.]

That's true. I'm fairly sure they didn't have a say in it.

Well, good luck. [he could always end up with two?]

By the way, I'm talking to the deities today. I've put it off long enough. I'll let you know how it turns out, okay?

[he will adore both, that for sure. And Gabriel will get some of that aodration as well. so it might be a good plan either wayXD]

Okay.

Please don't trade your memories... I don't know what you want from them, but... Don't trade your memories, okay?

I don't expect they'll want my memories. But I wouldn't trade any of you for anything. I promise.

They'll want my abilities, though. They had fun taking them the last time.

That's always good to know. It would... suck, if I had to befriend you again and stuff.

Giving away your abilities shouldn't be that hard. I mean, they are fun, but you don't really need them, do you?

It's not something you have to worry about. I know it's rough getting to know me.

That's the thing. Last time, they left the side effect of one of my abilities that makes me crave more. It's difficult to ignore. So no, I don't need them. But it feels like I do.

It's not rough, getting to know you. But I would have to be very careful not to pressure you into being friends with me just because you were before the memory loss. I would probably lose sleep worrying you'd not want to be friends this time around. It's stupid, I know.


Well, I'll do my best to help you through it. I know some effective distracting techniques, after all.

It's not stupid, but it's not going to happen either. Even if it did, if I got hit with a bad curse or something- you're the most likable guy in the City. The odds are strongly in your favor.

That's true. This time shouldn't be so difficult. Thanks, Anthony.

Don't mention it. I wouldn't let you deal with this alone. Especially if you feel it's going to hit you that bad.

I should hold a poll sometime. I think you'd win. (don't worry, there won't be a poll.)

It was bad last time. But this will be entirely different, not being alone. And I need to do this. It doesn't come close to making up for all the things I've done, but it will at least set one thing right.

We'll see what happens. I don't think she's going to attack me anymore, at least. But yeah, it's the right thing to do. I'm just glad you'll be there for it. [he might have mentioned that before, but it bears repeating]

I'll see you after today's over, right? I want to hear how things go with the rabbit.

Good to know I rank so high on your list.

Ah, I imagine that's calming him down considerably. Good idea. I was never very good with pets, I suppose.

It so happens that you rank in the top three on my list. But don't start fishing for compliments.

I can show you how to handle them. It's not so difficult.

From: [identity profile] makes-you-tick.livejournal.com
Oh, there's plenty to do. Swimming, driving practice, just a walk through Xanadu is so much more pleasant with the better weather. That's not to say I'm opposed to staying inside and reading, but it's always good to have options.

Hardly opposed to travel, then.

From: [identity profile] makes-you-tick.livejournal.com
Not at all. There's so little travel we can do here, after all, that it's good to take advantage of it when possible.

Hello, there. The person I made that deal for was Elle Bishop. And she was taken out of the City before I was even done paying for the bargain.

She's returned now, but she's dead. I want to see what it would take to arrange for her to get her life back, like she should have.

Your dedication to task is admirable, Mr. Gray.

What would it take? You ask that as though you don't already know the price.

I can't do much to correct my mistakes, but I can at least do this.

Things change so often here that I wasn't sure if that had changed, too. But considering that I've already paid for this, it shouldn't be for as long this time.

A bargain is what you desire? Understandable.

But that deal... it was for that Elle Bishop. Do you think this one is the same?

...really. I wonder if she's the one I wronged, then.

The same deal as before, but for two weeks instead of a month. Is that acceptable?

You are brazen, my child. Not a bad trait, but one that won't be rewarded so easily.

Only two weeks? The desire for a discount is one thing, but such a steep reduction is out of the question.

You're one of the few who don't think it's a bad trait. I appreciate that.

All right. How about three weeks, then?

Three and a half would be fine. That'll take me until the beginning of March, won't it?

deity filter;

All right. Let's do that.

Thank you for being so accommodating. When exactly should Elle be getting her life back?

Thank you, child, for your wish. If one is to deal with such costs... let it be for such things.
