Three things.

1: If anybody has experience dealing with the school system here, I'd love to talk to you. I'm trying to get started on enrolling a child for September, and any help or advice would be so appreciated. It's a real hassle.

2: Sam Winchester has left the island. I won't say he's gone, because he was gone a long time ago.

3: Does anybody have the power to turn a cat blue? Without dyes or hurting the cat, please.

I said it wasn't, so that you could drop the matter for the time being if you wished. And yes, there are a handful of topics I will only discuss in person.

And if he did, why should I tell you? Nothing between he and I involves you, or anyone else on this island.

How many times do I need to tell you - I do not, as a matter of course, lie. Although we both know several individuals who would be able to tell you if I was.

You keep saying no one cares. Again, check Sector 3, check the Network. Plenty care.

[momchester]

They care about in-Port status. Nobody cares about who you were at home. If you were a king or a god there, then that gets left there. All you are here is the extent of your relationships with people. You might have been both, but here you're almost nothing based on your connections with people. Being a Newcomer is about community, not status. I thought you of all people would appreciate that.

Murder is a crime against the state and against society. What happened involves everyone.

[magnetic_magpie]

According to you. It's not a universal idea.

And what being a Newcomer is about varies. As I said, I went beyond my duty to my fellows.

And, once again, it might be.


Or have you never killed something sentient?

[momchester]

So you'll go above and beyond for people who kowtow to you and who you think are on your level, but if they have the audacity to be independent thinking beings without doing you any wrong, then they deserve to die?

Stop it. What I used to do was about protecting the innocent. Who did you benefit by killing Crowley? Your ego doesn't count.

[magnetic_magpie]

If I wanted people who kowtowed to me, would I be speaking to you at all?

Innocent by whose standards? By what law?

[momchester]

Don't do that. It's a dishonest way of trying to manipulate the flow of the conversation away from the original point. Honestly, Michael? I don't know about you and me. What are you going to do if I keep disrespecting you? Murder me? Or am I not worth your time because you don't think I'm superior enough?

Answer me this: did Crowley do anything specific to you to deserve to die that horribly?

[magnetic_magpie]

You aren't being disrespectful, so the question is entirely moot. However if you were to be, for utterly no reason, and after being warned to stop? No. For many reasons, none of which I would doubt you believe, solely because you clearly don't understand what I mean when I speak of superiority.

And, once again. If you want to ask - ask in person.

[momchester]

No. Answer me here. You've fed me enough excuses here, I know you can give me a straight answer, too.

[magnetic_magpie]

It's not refusal to give you a straight answer. It's refusal to speak one way or the other on a traceable medium.

[momchester]

You don't trust me.

[magnetic_magpie]

The last person I trusted died when I was twenty-five. I haven't made the mistake of trusting anyone fully since.

[momchester]

Then don't expect anybody to trust you.

If you ever cared about me or Sam, please stay away from my friends. They all have enough danger in their lives without adding something else.

Goodbye, Michael.

[magnetic_magpie]

I don't expect anyone to trust me.

Take care of yourself Mary.
