Ten Years looking For the Luck

Photobucket

1] Adette has a big cardboard box in her arms closed up tight, and a big smirk on her face. She looks down at the list of names shes scribbled on the top of the box I hope I can find everyone... It had taken all year to round everything up in preparation for this evening, it was the last night of the year after all and she could not let it go by without observation.

[[Adette has gifts for everyone she has CR for. Why is she passing them out tonight instead of last week? Maybe you should ask her.]]

2]It's was 15 minutes to midnight, and Adette was filling up your glass without invitation. "You're got to try this. Vodka from home town." A pretty, drunk, grin, as she rests her chin on her hand. "Any good resolutions?"

"Fun?"

Matthew sips at his PPC. The flush in his cheeks grows.

"Neg. Learning...it is an inherently traumatizing process, a striping down the the ego and all sense of confidence. Even if a blade is reforged in a furnace, it still must melt and fracture first."

He rests his own elbows on the table, staring into his noxious drink.

"There is no true lesson learned without cruelty."

Wow. Sudden emotional issues.

"What do you think of the notion of loyalty? As a freeborn, I mean?" He suddenly asks.

"But that is not really true, quiaff?" Matthew replies.

"Even in your casteless societies, you are raised from birth with a preordained set of beliefs, lain out by your...schools, and tv shows, and..rearing figures."

Even drunk, he still isn't comfortable with the whole 'parents' thing.

"When you set about your task in life, you are indoctrinated with other sets of beliefs by your superiors. That is the way of the world. We are one part of a great whole, a soldier within an army of soldiers, fighting and living as one for the values of our forefathers."

He waves his hands about frantically in midair, as if trying to pluck a specific air molecule out of the air.

"I keep hearing talk about choice from you freeborns...but how can you escape from everything that has shaped you? Why would you want to?"
