#pathos siblings

Hypothetical question. . .

Okay, so entirely hypothetical question here for either of the sibs or anyone who has a good answer for this.

Suppose a person was trying to prove a point, win a contest, so to speak. .  so they made a deal with another person that if the other person gave in, they would leave them alone finally. . . So, the other person gives in, but the first person kind of realizes that the second person is kind of really someone they like a whole lot. . . but they have to leave him alone now. . . What should the first person do?

Nessie with her siblings

Niesseri curled her legs under her, scootching back on the couch until she was nestled nicely in the corner with her datachron. “They’re the best, really,” she said into the device (set to record of course). “Both my sister and brother are probably the best siblings I could ever have hoped for. They care about me, and… I mean, after our parents… well, they’re all I’ve got now. They’ve always been there for me and taken care of me. Sure, Morgan can be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud sometimes… but she never actually discourages me or anything. Even when she thinks my plans are completely batshit or something. Aureus is usually pretty cool, even when he’s in overprotective-big-brother mode. Usually he only gets in that mode when I actually need an overprotective big brother. So yeah, they’re the best.”

What if there was a cure for the Contagion?

A cure. Hell, what would I do if there was a cure? I’d be pretty damned happy, that’s for sure. But, you’ve gotta wonder – what happens with all the weird Vitalus systems we’ve got going? I mean, we’re missing half our bodies, some of us more than others. I guess it would depend on how complete of a cure we’re talking. If it were the sort of thing where we could just become like we were before… yeah, we’ll go with that.

So, first off, I’d probably have to settle down some. Whiiich I am not keen on the idea of. Maybe in a hundred years or so I’d be ready to… but, I mean can you imagine me trying to have a family?

It’d be nice, sure. I’d love a nice husband and a kid. People who’d always be around when I needed them (aside from Morg and Aur… cause I think I bug them more than anything else these days). Having a kid… that’d be like the ultimate person-who-needs-you. I’d like that part of it anyway. I’d make a hell of a lousy mother, but I think I’d really like it.

Besides, someone has to carry on the Pathos name. I doubt Morgan’s too interested. You can’t have babies with books, and I don’t think she’s really too interested in men. Aureus… well, let’s face it, he’s a nice guy once you get to know him – but what girl is gonna want to deal with him long enough to really get to know him? I guess I could kidnap someone for him, but that’s a whole different mess of troubles.

So, yeah… that’s what I’d do if there was a cure. I’d calm down, settle down, and have the family that I’m never really gonna have.

Shit. I made it sad.

ψ Niesseri and Aureus!

The cords made an odd slithering sounds as they brushed against the upholstery of the couch’s back. Niesseri batted at the end of one of them irritatedly, she could almost imagine that her snake-like hair hissed in response. She was tired. Calm but tired. This wasn’t the first time she’d had to recover from the effects of elevated voltage being passed through her body, but it certainly was the most boring.

If her brother had been around, she would at least have someone to entertain her. He could tell her stories about his “patients” like he used to in the old days – the days when his patients were actually patients and not more… victims.

If Aureus were here, she could get him to go talk to Caspien. Maybe then the other would see some sense. She frowned, curling her feet up under her and hugging a plush yeti to her chest. Okay, so, Aur would more likely talk with his resonators than words if she sent him over there with the knowledge of what the man had done to her. So … bad idea. But still… She missed her family.

It was nice to have them around. Nice to have people who could take care of her and keep her out of trouble (or at least deal with the trouble she got into properly.) That’s what big brothers did. You came home and told them about the bullies and they went and took care of things. Except, she wasn’t a little girl anymore. She needed to take care of her own messes. She’d gotten herself into this one, after all.

Gods, she was lonely.
