Not playing so nice any more

[wandthief]

I forgot how much fun taunting others could be. Being a tired, helpless old man is getting me nowhere in the sympathy stakes and I have no reason to pretend to be so understanding any longer. So I may as well be myself again.

Clearly I was correct in my beliefs that Muggles are far inferior to wizards. You cannot seem to do very much without magic - or not very efficiently, at least. If not for your own recent failings the ultimate proof is my current non-magical condition. So all I can do is pity you that you are stuck that way when I at some point will regain my true powers.

Any other demons or otherwise supernatural beings here... Don't try to defend them. You have power and they have not. I'm sure you've been glad of that at some time or other if you have not outright used that power against them.

Good, because you'll never find it without a collective.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

And that is something I would never join up with so I will have to do without.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Then don't go calling your 'magic' 'power'. Because it's not.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

It is a powerful thing.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

But not power in and of itself.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Oh, it could be if used correctly - and yes, even by a mere individual.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

That's impossible.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Not in my world.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

In any world, comrade, if an individual seizes power - he will be brought down, it will come to an end. It will not last. That is not true power, because it will not stand up against history and time.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

So your measure of power is... what? Nothing lasts forever.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

The Party does, because it's truly collective - it doesn't rely on mortal, human fallability, but it's own self-perpetuating power. It relies on nothing but itself - nothing can destroy it but itself.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

But it is made up of humans, is it not?

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

It's rendered them irrelevant and faceless. One person will be replaced by another, comrade.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

And the point of that is? What actual power does this Party of yours hold?

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Over history and reality itself. Everything. They control the present, so can control the past, and thus, can control the future.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

They don't control this place.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

No, comrade, but they will. It is the inevitable end of history, it is the political end which all versions of humanity will arrive at.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

There will always be an individual to make sure that does not happen.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

No, comrade, that's the point.

There will not.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You are very wrong about that.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't know. You don't know how absolute our control is.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Was.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Is. It exists without me.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Then why concern yourself about it any more?

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Because the Party is the only way to power. It is the only way to exist.
