I want to know. And impatience - I can only learn that kind of stuff when you're around, right? And look, you left.

Because experience teaches me that any story told out of obligation tends to be riddled with lies, shortcuts and inaccuracies.

I also thought you told me you'd pretty much gathered the whole story, anyway.

Ergo, I don't need to hear a false account of it.

...Joshua made Cabot.

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

Fascinating. Have you found out a motive?

[payback.livejournal.com]

It could've been just because he was bored. Joshua being Joshua.

And the rest of the residents are pawns for his entertainment.

Maybe. I mean... I think he's pretty selfish? But I'm still... well. Some people went after him. I guess I persuaded him not to completely toast their brains, mostly.

[illusionist.livejournal.com]

And how did you accomplish that?

[payback.livejournal.com]

I told him it would be more fun for him if he let them try. If he gave himself a challenge. Since there had to be something to them, if they'd figured out what kind of power he was and what he'd done.

He must be lacking in self-restraint, to fall for that.

I think he might have wanted to let them go on some level. Maybe.
