This is not amusing.

Where are they?

Doug, you are in a -great- deal of trouble if I find out you are responsible for this.

What have you lost?

My cards

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

My cards. EVERY. SINGLE. DECK.

Someone took them while I was asleep.

Re: My cards

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Well, you've been kinda . . . out of it the past couple days. Maybe somebody, and I promise it wasn't me even though I'm not gonna complain, thought you needed a break?

Re: My cards

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

*grumbles*

Was it really necessary to take all of them?

I know you said it was not you but I suspect that you could easily look over and -ask- the person responsible.


He took the deck I was painting. It was not even -finished-.

Re: My cards

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Well, he's all thorough and stuff. :) And you haven't done a precog-freakout jag like that in a while.

Re: My cards

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

He's also a very dead Doug if I get my hands on him.

I was not freaking out. Everyone else was freaking out at my want to figure out what those dreams were about.

Re: My cards

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Well, you were wandering around like an extra from Late Afternoon of the Badly-Revived Dead, and mumbling. That kinda produces freakout in people.

Re: My cards

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

That was -shuffling with purpose-, not wandering.

Did I mumble anything coherant or interesting?

Re: My cards

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was necessary to take all of them, because I know you, and if I had left you even one _incomplete_ deck, you would have tried to do a reading. And there comes a point of diminishing returns, where you are so exhausted that you cease making sense. I understand your worry, but you also have to take care of yourself, love.

Re: My cards

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

You are a giant hypocrite. You work yourself into headaches and worry about people all the time, and stay up at night with cases of awful sodas. Do not presume to tell me what is or is not taking care of myself.

I couldn't understand what I was seeing about Sarah and people DIED, Doug. I am not letting that happen again if I can help it! If I had done more, I might have seen something.

Re: My cards

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I may or may not be a hypocrite. But I also don't stay up for five _days_, hiding it from the person who loves me most, trying to do everything all by myself, now do I?

Re: My cards

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

No, you just go and hack yourself into a headache for Domino or Manuel and then expect me to .. . I do not know what you expected, but I would have understood if you had explained first instead of just falling over on my -bed- with a giant headache.

If I had told you what I intended to do, you would have stopped me, and I needed to try to see more.

Re: My cards

you can still help with my bodysuit thing...

no precog required - I won't even stick you with the pins!

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

They're safe. Where you can't get at them until you've gotten over the precognitive hangover. And even then, probably only under controlled conditions for a little while. Angie, speaking as someone who couldn't stop his precognition from doing him damage, pushing yourself that hard, for whatever reason, is Not Okay.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

There is a big difference. I chose to push myself, your precognition was forced upon you.

And how different is the end result?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I imagine when I was at my worst, I sounded quite a bit like you did last night. Which is to say, alarmingly unbalanced. I can't speak for Amanda and Manuel, but personally, I do not put my safety above your welfare. And I'm not going to let you do it, either.

Re: And how different is the end result?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

At your worst, you turn trees into glass, Nathan.

I am not telekinetic. I am not telepathic. It hurts no one besides myself if I push hard for a short time.

I will not be responsible for any more deaths.

Re: And how different is the end result?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

And will you be responsible for your own, then? Because that's where this is headed. Are you willing to kill yourself to save someone else?

Re: And how different is the end result?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Better that than killing someone else.

Re: And how different is the end result?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Right, at least I know what to tell them to put on your tombstone.

Re: And how different is the end result?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am not trying to kill myself. That is worse than anything I have already done.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

You and I are going to sit down tomorrow night and have a discussion about responsibility and precognition, Marie-Ange. Focusing mostly on where it stops, and if I have to argue with you all night and pull Askani out of my back pocket to help, I will.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Why does everyone keep telling me I am being irresponsible? Did it not occur to anyone that I might know my own limits!?!?!

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

You were not in any shape to recognize your limits last night. You weren't able to walk last night - do you remember me having to carry you upstairs?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

And this is different from you getting shot or breaking your legs or having people from the future in your head -how-?
