I13DT - Angry Puppy

"Because what's to stop you from forcing me to do something for my own good? And because the Altamira I fell in love with believed in a God that gave us that free will and if you keep down this road then I'll be losing you all over again."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 7:35 pm

"I would never force anyone to do what they didn't want to do! What's to stop me? What's to stop YOU from cutting people up with your swords?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 7:44 pm

"If they really want it, that kind of force isn't necessary," he countered, trying not to think about that one guy he kinda...

...sorta...

...cut up.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 7:45 pm

"Look. I'll trust you not to cut off my arms in my sleep, if you trust me not to re-wire your brain.

Unless you WANTED your brain re-wired or something."

"Fine, maybe Will did secretly want to be a flying carpet for a romantic surprise. He's Will. I just... miss you. Even with you right here in front of me, I miss you."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 7:57 pm

"I'm right here, Kevin. This is me.

But it's also the Phoenix. That's me, too. It can't be the same as it always was. But life is change, and I'm still...I'm still Altamira, too."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:04 pm

"It doesn't always seem like you remember that."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:06 pm

"What do you mean?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:15 pm

"Sometimes you get so lost in your cosmic perspective that you seem to ignore everyone else. I know it's your job, but it makes me feel like we're... like I'm just a curious little distraction."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:16 pm

"It's....hard. Sometimes. To remember what it was like to...," she trailed off.

"Have you ever read the book Flatland?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:22 pm

"Can't... say I have."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:23 pm

"It's about a square, who sees everything in his little two-dimensional world. Then, he gets brought up by a sphere, and taught about the third-dimension. He returns to his home, and no one believes him, and he's eventually jailed for his heresy."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:29 pm

"So... you're the sphere?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:30 pm

"I'm the SQUARE. Or was. And now I'm back, and I know all these things, all these secrets and truths, and people think I'm crazy."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:35 pm

"Because we can't see it?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:39 pm

"And because it's above and beyond you. It's like...most people don't need to know how gravity works. Or they don't need to know that the earth is round, because it doesn't mater. It doesn't matter in your life if you orbit the sun or the sun orbits you.

But the earth DOES orbit the sun. And when people learned that, it opened the way for other things. Things above and beyond where man was then.

You can't see what I can see. But that doesn't mean what I can see isn't TRUE."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:52 pm

"So you... can't see the trees for the forest or something?" he asked, unsure.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:55 pm

"I need to remember that you don't all care about the forest when you're living in one tree."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 8:59 pm

"Hey, I've at least been away from my tree."

"...trees are planets here right?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 9:00 pm

Mira laughed, quietly. "No, Kevin. Trees are beyond even that. But that's OK."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Mon May 12, 2014 9:04 pm

"What? Systems? Galaxies? Planes? Universes?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon May 12, 2014 9:05 pm

"Think even further outside of that. Different...levels of reality."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue May 13, 2014 9:38 am

"Right, planes of reality."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue May 13, 2014 12:05 pm

Mira wavered her hand a little bit. "Close enough. This isn't D&D here or something, I'm not talking about a plane of fire or evil or puppies."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue May 13, 2014 2:08 pm

"Or evil fire puppies. I think someone brought special brownies that time."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue May 13, 2014 3:10 pm

"I thought you didn't like my special baked goods."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue May 13, 2014 3:17 pm

"That was code for they used marijuana Mira."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue May 13, 2014 4:25 pm

"I've never been marijuana Mira," she half-smiled.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue May 13, 2014 6:52 pm

"The Phoenix shouldn't get high. Can the Phoenix even get high?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue May 13, 2014 10:04 pm

"I've never tried."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed May 14, 2014 9:42 am

"Yeah... lowering the inhibitions of a cosmic entity? Prooobably not the best idea."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed May 14, 2014 11:09 am

"Apparently, my inhibitions are too low to begin with. I need more inhibitions."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed May 14, 2014 11:20 am

"Try asking John for some then, he has enough to spare a few," he joked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed May 14, 2014 11:22 am

"I think if people got mad at me for working with Will, I think they'd get even more mad if I stole something from John," she said, seriously.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed May 14, 2014 11:24 am

"Well I didn't mean literally."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed May 14, 2014 11:27 am

"...oh."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed May 14, 2014 2:37 pm

"But yes, stealing pieces of peoples' personalities would be wrong."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed May 14, 2014 2:39 pm

"That much I know. I wouldn't want to change who you are," she said, wrapping an arm around Kevin.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed May 14, 2014 3:08 pm

"I wouldn't change you either."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed May 14, 2014 3:11 pm

"Yes, you would. But that's OK."
