AnonymousSpeed Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (Anon talking to himself as drama occurs) What, prithee myself, is happiness? Is the feeling I have now, alone and under the stars, yet undeniably at peace, happiness? Or is joy more akin to the rush of battle or discovery, my veins pounding as I achieve some great goal I could have only dreamed of as a younger man? Is enjoyment of life the feeling I receive from talking with my allies, a feeling unsettled yet calm? It is certainly different from the feeling I get from being with my family. Is that feeling happiness? Or is each a different form? I don't see how that could be, as each is so drastically varied. To think I may have lived my life believing the wrong feeling to be happiness...maybe, I should discredit the idea of happiness dependent upon others. After all, I have disregarded love and romance because of the weaknesses it creates, why not a lesser variant? Hehe...I don't know. I can be the greatest genius on any planet, and still the heart is to deceitful for mortal understanding. Ain't life a bitch? Not really, life is pretty good to me. I guess I should just drop the poetry, sleep on it and follow what I can tell in the most 'right.' If I need to know, I'll figure it out eventually. Who knows, maybe I'll actually try talking to people again. It's been awhile since I've done any satire, and there's no shortage of stuff to joke at with that bunch.

Vashiane Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (Except Kat is refusing to let you in until she can't hide it anymore.) "Uh-huh. I bet I know a spot YOU don't. Alicia said you didn't, at least, so either you've been up to things without her knowledge or you're lying." (This is related to the skit Ace, Vash, and me are still working on.) *grinning suddenly* "Darling, he's not supposed to know about THAT pet name, remember?" Silvia slapped her hand to her forehead. "Of course. Ignore me, I'm clearly talking too much." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I guess you beat it out of your skull with a tree." (Poly… she's aggravated and hormonal. Her next threat is castration. …Actually, that was her first threat, but I made her change it. She refuses to let you in on the secret due to the absolute teasing hell you put her through earlier.) Silvia slapped her hand to her forehead. "Of course. Ignore me, I'm clearly talking too much."

And, while I appreciate your concern, you CONSTANTLY BUGGING ME ABOUT IT, is not helping matters." *shrugs* "You know; I never got around to asking Mila about that.
