(no subject)

Edgar Parker has graduated. He is brilliant and has a good future ahead of him.

I will stay and see this Christmas for myself.



I do not understand why a fat man in a red suit is meant to bring gifts to mortals, but I will simply chalk it down to another instance of you dressing up to amuse yourself, Father.

For Edgar: I'd like him to find happiness and acceptance and a partner where he goes. And for him to end up in Elysium when his life is over.

For Armand: I want the garden to remain as it is now even with me gone, free of the normal limitations placed upon it by the seasons. And personally give him a lily of the valley plant that will always bloom for him even when he is not aboard the barge.

For Howie: Acceptance. A palm plant that was so important to his culture. Good whiskey, as well. Perhaps something that blocks electricity.

For Spike: A sign from home that things are all right, and something important to him returned.

For Kay: A note from his daughter, reaffirming that she is alright. If possible, I'd like for him to actually be able to see and touch her, if only for a moment.

For Coyo: Chocolate liquor as such as we've had that time. A Venus fly trap and flies because it will amuse her when she can feed it meat and what not.

For my brother: The ability to listen, and some fresh fruit.

For my sister: The ability to behave herself with people here but not Howie and some of this new fabulous chocolate from port.

For myself: My deal without any repercussions for the mortals as you have promised.

Yeah? Good for the boy.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. He has earned his second chance.

[personal profile] bigbad 2010-12-17 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
He's gone on home, then?

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He will soon, I imagine. He has not quite left yet.

[Private]

I have been remiss in thanking you for your assistance with him, so thank you.

Oh, it was nothing. Just talked to him a bit, is all. And beat him up that once.

Then, uh, you're welcome. Glad to do it.

Good. You are good for a vampire, Spike.

Don't I know it.



But thanks.

Of course.

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You have graduated your ward?

Will you leave?

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I have not yet decided.

I will stay here through the mortal holidays, certainly.

Private

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You have won your freedom. You can return to where you belong. To your home.

This is no place for the divine, Persephone.

Private

The problem is that I do not know if the Admiral will make it right.

And agreed, Coyo. I do not wish for you to be here either.

Private

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
But he has promised. If he has not fulfilled this promise, could you return?

Private

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I will do so once Christmas has passed.

Private - added much later

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I will miss you, should you go.

Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I will miss you as well. Perhaps I will stay for a while.

Private.

Do not sacrifice your own happiness, Persephone.

Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it. How are you faring? Did you have fun in the town? Was snow a shock?

Private.

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
The town was dull, but the snow reminded me of the mountaintops. Just more snow than I am used to. I enjoyed it.

Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I enjoyed it as well. I find that I am fond of these Christmas lights.

Private.

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I am as well. I like the lights and candles. I like the decorations.

I really like the mistletoe.

Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The mistletoe is rather lovely.

If it wasn't about the Christ Child, it would be perfect.

Private.

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
People will worship as they please. I see no harm in it, so long as they pay me respect as well.

[identity profile] notonedrop.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much!

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, Edgar. I am pleased for you.

Well son of a bitch. The kid did it.

Congrats.

Well, good for him. Very good for him.

[identity profile] kingfor-aday.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
As am I, trust me.

and I'm amazed how you did it.

Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
When he returns to Earth, I will check on him to make certain of his path. I will bring your wishes too him, should you desire.

Re: Private.

[identity profile] kingfor-aday.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the real God will do that just fine, thank you.

Re: Private.

[identity profile] kingfor-aday.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I don't believe that, but let's not get into this now.

Re: Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, Neil Howie, you will someday learn that there is enough love in mankind's hearts for more than one God.

Re: Private.

[identity profile] kingfor-aday.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
And perhaps, one day, you will learn that a true God is capable of loving mankind all by Himself, and we should love him back by keeping the First Commandment. He is the one true God, and you'll never convince me otherwise.

Re: Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
And you will never convince me otherwise, Niel Howie, your stubborness will be the death of you, you know.

Re: Private.

[identity profile] kingfor-aday.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
As will yours, you know.

[And boy, he knows how literally right that is.]

Re: Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
How old do you think I am, Neil Howie?

Re: Private.

[identity profile] kingfor-aday.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't want to hazard a guess.

Re: Private.

[identity profile] persephonepearl.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Over nine thousand years.

Re: Private.

If you think that convinces me, sorry. It's just like Adam.
