The keepers office

[Phaedra]

And THAT begs the question: who determines if something is forward or backward? I know what *my* idea of forward is, and my gut tells me you, and those here at DM, probably all share similar ideas, but not everyone does. Is the idea of moving forward a matter of majority rules?

 

It is my thought society, and our planet for that matter, is on the cusp of a fundamental change, and I will hold out hope the way we feel about moving forward is the direction we indeed move in. In the meantime, people like us will continue to impact that which is around us, which will proliferate and grow. I’m an optimist, and make efforts to see the light through the distress our society is currently in. Yes, my heart hurts to see the things going on, however, endings are usually messy, and the beginnings that come out the other side tend to be beautiful. People have to throw their fits first before they finally accept what is

in front of their face.

Hey Lava! What do you think of this rug? It's colorful, but may be more in line with our Keeper's preferences?

 

 

Oh, and here is another banana for you ?.

 

 

[Lavandula]

*Yawns* so many people, wooot is going on? We having a party? 

Oh rug! Nice rug phaedra!  And you brought breakfast ? *munch on screaming banana*

[Cross]

that rug is an improvement, nice phaedra

 

as is the puppy lava! 

 

i do need a new desk, chair, bookshelves...

[Lavandula]

What's wrong with your bookshelf?

Looks eggsactly the same to me...

[Cross]

 

that’s part of redecorating, NEW stuff. better stuff

[Lavandula]

But we no wanna chop down the rainforrest unnecessarily when we have a perfectly functional shelf already... I know! If you want new i can redecorate it! ??? there a couple of pretty stickers and voila new shelf, and mother nature is smiling too? 

[Cross]

if i see one sticker on anything in the office you’re going to be scrubbing pots for a month

[Arie]

I suppose it depends on the perspective of the observer vs. the change. While one may feel they are evolving, often it can be those that are out of balance regress back to a previous state, often more violently. 

 

(Been binging Korra and boy is that applicable...)

[Arie]

[Cross]

the out of balance thing tracks with an article i read recently attempting to explain the cult-like following of a certain orange politician. essentially it boiled down to a out of balance/persecuted feeling that solidifies alliances in the face/spite of solid evidence, science and proof. 

 

 

and arie! well...at least those stickers are more suiting me than the butterflies and pastels, *weaves the mess gone* but looky here *wags finger* as you looking for someone to heal? 

[Arie]

That sounds like a proposition. And a promise. 

 

[Cross]

 

 

bwahahahaha i love you guys. 

 

arie if you need some practice healing, i'll supply some guppy warders and novices

 

[Arie]

I AM getting a little out of practice.... These younglings playing with cake instead of swords.... Burns just don't need the same kind of care as a mortal wound.

 

*deep sad sigh*

[Cross]

i mean if we give lava a real sword you're bound to have something to do

[Arie]

I think that would apply to both my mentee's.. but giving Lava something sharp would bring a few stitches to the yard.

Alas, I only *officially* have cake in my arsenal right now, due to I am a simple Novice. I will say, though...the daggers my eyes produce can be quite deadly.

No? Should it have been? It looks really cool to do yoga with it you wanna see?

[Cross]

as long as arie’s around to fix things i’ll have a slice.

 

 

*sits down to watch* yes lava i would like to see

 

[Lavandula]

Man being naughty is so exhausting yawn! Ooooh yummy cake!

[Arie]

Arie can fix all the things. Be it with heals or orders to visit Kaylee. ?

 

Cake sounds lovely, thank you children.
