saintedsinner-= honestly thought he had it on voice. That's what happens when you're on one arm, one leg, and about three hours of sleep. =-
Ah, sorry if I worried anyone out there, or if you were looking for me. -=he scratches the back of his head in one awkward motion, his forehead clearly bandaged. He looks odd with a missing automail arm.=-
And this is a new machine. I was ambushed by one of those things, and sort of dragged out into the Wastes. I hope everyone's doing okay. -=a flash of a tired smile. He looks at ease with that expression. Of course, he does, he doesn't know that he's being watched.=-

Date: 2010-07-16 08:14 pm (UTC)He wanted me to kill him. He asked me to.

Date: 2010-07-16 08:27 pm (UTC)He wants to die, but he can't... so instead of living, he makes himself miserable. ... he told me I'd never understand, and maybe I never will, but...
[Al breathes out.]
He's lost a lot. He could be good, but he doesn't want to put himself in a position to be lose more, so he destroys his own life before anything else can.
[His voice is flat. No sympathy, but also no disgust.]

He's created these creatures-obviously in pain.... Hurt people, killed them....
I don't see how he's destroying his life when he's destroying others he doesn't even know.
