sorry to anyone who wears a watch
ive hit a few people today already but just so you know
it seems that theres now a condition to be able to use my telekinesis
namely that i have to set a clock forward 6 hours and 12 minutes
its not really a problem because i dont use it very often these days
maybe the city thought it wasnt fair that i can do kind of a lot haha
oh well!
its kind of funny
i wonder if thats an important number

- hit people...?

[aliveandticking]

haha sorry!
i dont mean i literally hit them
i just mean i grabbed them and turned their watches forward and it was pretty surprising for them

[a-parting-word.livejournal.com]

Nonconsensual... clock turning?

[aliveandticking]

that sounds a little
dirty
o_o

[a-parting-word.livejournal.com]

And yet you're the one who did it.

[aliveandticking]

yes
but it didnt sound underhanded until just now!

[a-parting-word.livejournal.com]

I did nothing to it!

[aliveandticking]

i think you did
i dont think i can think about it innocently any more!

[a-parting-word.livejournal.com]

There was nothing innocent there.

[aliveandticking]

haha are you always this serious
i was just being dramatic for fun :)

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

You're-- you're like a superhero! With weird hobbies!

[aliveandticking]

haha
actually i think i count as a god now
but close enough!
the clocks arent a hobby though

--hey I thought you said you were an alien.

[aliveandticking]

why do you think theyre mutually exclusive

1/2

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

So you're saying gods are aliens...? Or they can be aliens...?

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

That makes so much sense! Wow-- so what are you doing stuck here? Are you on some kind of godly vacation?

[aliveandticking]

haha okay sorry i wasnt really being serious :)
i have godlike powers but im not actually someone to worship
it just means i am at the highest level i can possibly be!

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

That means you can still get stronger, though, right? Like maybe you're on the highest level of Tetris but you can still perfect your technique?

[aliveandticking]

thats a good question
i am not sure there is much more to learn about time honestly!
its just a matter of working effectively i guess

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

That's definitely better than not being able to get any stronger at all.

[aliveandticking]

there are a lot of ways to get stronger
sometimes you think you know what strength is
and then it turns out youve been pretty weak all along!
and then you laugh at yourself

[Wow it's like...she's telling his life story...]

Oi...you can say that again.

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

But if there's something you want to achieve or want to protect-- it doesn't matter if you just keep trying, right?

[aliveandticking]

no im pretty sure thats wrong
if youre not strong and you try and take on something you cant handle
in most cases you will be walloped pretty bad
but its a nice thought

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

[She's...completely and utterly right.]

But if there's no other way...

[aliveandticking]

then you die!
the world doesnt always give you a way out
if youve broken all the rules and you still cant make it youre probably doomed
its not as bad as it sounds though dont worry
i was doomed my entire life

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

[You...too?]

You were? How? If you know that much-- have you tried to find a way to stop it?

[aliveandticking]

fate doesnt work like that
i tried to fight it for a long time
but i was fighting the wrong thing
its a relief to not feel like that any more though let me tell you :)

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

You accepted it just like that? How can you...

[aliveandticking]

no not at all!
i was really upset for a long time
and then i died
and then i learned a lot of things
im not the kind of person that accepts things just like that haha :)
except when i was rebelling by accepting them

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

Good- you should stay true to yourself! Don't listen to what other people tell you to do-- not if you don't like it.

[aliveandticking]

but arent you telling me what to do ;)
just joking
sometimes you have to listen
but listening and doing isnt the same thing
even when i was alive i didnt feel alive
and i think it was because i thought that life wasnt fair
and the secret is
its not!
but its nothing personal

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

Whoa... you really are a god!

[HE IS SO BLOWN AWAY BY YOUR WISDOM THAT MAKES so much sense]

[aliveandticking]

haha :)
i think this is just me
ive been through kind of a lot

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

This place probably doesn't help out all that much, either.

[aliveandticking]

oh no
this place is nice!
its like a vacation
i was pretty busy leading up to the great undoing at home
here i can just spend time with friends in a normal way :)
rather than a them dreaming or being dead way

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

I...feel really bad when you put it that way.

[aliveandticking]

you dont have to
its what everything has been leading up to
my life especially
and i get to meet the humans! i was looking forward to that
except i already met them here haha

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

But- I think you should be allowed to be happy at home, too! And meet humans and eat cheeseburgers with them and sukiyaki with friends-- all at home. Alive!

[aliveandticking]

well our universe was destroyed so theres not much chance of that!
what should be
and what is
dont really have anything to do with each other

[disinheriting.livejournal.com]

But... we can at least try to make an effort at what should be.

[Des...tr oyed?!]

Uh, but, I guess that's also kind of hard when your universe is destroyed, huh.

[aliveandticking]

kind of
dont feel sorry for us though!
that never got anyone anywhere
