If everyone were normal, life would be SO boring.

Why did you have to say to yourself "Be normal"? Nobody is normal.

Hannah.

PS: I am glad that Bert didn't have to kill anybody.

Hannah, hi,

Well, the word I say is literally "normally". I say myself this word to help me to staring at my shoes, not speaking when spoken to, and all the other things I can do when nervous.

It more a tool than anything, although "be normal" is not too good translation, too.

The devil's in the translation.

Hi Natasha

Why were you nervous? Bert doesn't make anybody nervous . . . except his enemies of course.

Hannah

PS: Why do you stare at your shoes and not speak? That is what I used to have to do when I was in trouble. You are a grown up, you aren't in trouble anymore.

Oh, I think I know why she was nervous Hannah. :lol:

Ghost get your mind out of the gutter ok. :roll:

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 9:21 pm**

Sorry Shadow, but I need a good laugh. I think you know why.

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 9:24 pm**

Yeah I think I understand.
I am just trying to head off the swat upside the head you would likely get from Bert. :lol:

As I told, it was not Bert specifically. The whole thing just triggered a reflex behaviour in me, a way to deal with pain from things that were did to me some years ago.

Forgive me, I didn't know that it was painful for you. :oops:

It was a long post, but....

Natasha wrote:We both clearly embarrassed. I paced the hall, waiting for Bert to tell me all was clear. I paced while peering constantly at my shoes. I had a lump in my throat. A lot of memories returned quickly to me, and filled my brain with images I not seen in several years. Even living and working with the guys, they always careful to keep me from seeing such things. My mental wounds not fully healed, and some of them ripped painfully open again.

Don't listen to him dear, he knew it was painful for you and he loved pushing those buttons.

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:05 pm**

Voice Kee it up and you will have more than Ghost after you.

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:11 pm**

You know Shadow it seems to me tha- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH stop, get out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:12 pm**

Oops, sounds like someone just hit a tripwire. Bet that really smarts, eh Ghost?

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:34 pm**

Ghost are you ok?

Posted: **Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:37 pm**

You must help Konrad. Acolytes of Belladrox, foolish mortals, have come and taken my wielder. You must rescue him. I can not protect his mind if he is beyond 20 feet of me.

I hate rune weapons.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:09 am**

Strange, I LOVE Rune Weapons. Granted, I'd be happier if my two lesser ones could actualy turn into weapon forms, but still...

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:13 am**

I would consider myself fortunate.

More trouble than they are worth.

Then again I do enough damage with an AN-94 as it is...

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:35 pm**

Hi Natasha,

You can call me too if you want to talk. Pa just got me my own Cell Phone.

Hannah.

PS: Rune weapons?

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:43 pm**

Rune weapons - they make you feel like you are powerful and in control of your life, but really they are. They drive you insane, too....

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:50 pm**

Hey awesome.

I am very curious about the years before we got you from there.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:36 pm**

Rune Weapons: We are weapons that have been enchanted with powerful magics, inscribed with runes of great power and bound with the life force of a living being. We are indestructible, intelligent, and have assorted abilities.

I hope that answers you question child.

And mortal, only the weak minded are driven insane by a rune weapon. Even a cursed one.

Trust the sword to defend itself.

Rune weapons are such amazing artifacts. For one to be made, a living sentient being has to die.

Glorious.

The most powerful ones are the ones that the being gave their life willingly so that they might continue to fight the darkness.

Posted: **Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:35 pm**

And the most dangerous ones are the ones that come when a being is used to make multiple items. It can, and has, happened.

And as for being driven insane, it all depends on how you term sanity. I am perfectly certain that my main Rune Weapon is at fault for my mental issues, especialy as we've been bonded together for over half my life.

And yes, for those who are now wondering, some of my oddest posts have been writen under it's influence.

Posted: **Wed Apr 25, 2007 3:21 pm**

From what Mr. greydawn has told me if a Rune Weapon chooses you then it will not drive you insane but if you try to force one to bond with you then your sanity is at risk. Not that it would bother the bad guys who are insane for postung their intentions here.

Do you think that maybe they post here as a form of suicide?
