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.

This is not existance.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You have to accept that it is.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I do not. There is no proof of my existance apart from my own sense of it.

That is not enough.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I am speaking to you so I know that you exist.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Your mind is as fallible as mine.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

So how many people need to speak to you to prove you exist? How many were in your Party?

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

That's not how it works, comrade. All their memories are fallible. The Party is what legitimises my existance, nothing else. Not members of the Party, but just the Party.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Then what is the Party exactly, if not a group of fallible humans?

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

It's a collective. It exists outside of a group of individuals in its own right. It's indestructible and evens out the mistakes of individual minds. A collective is a lot more than just a consensus.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

It's not my fault you're too stupid to understand it, comrade.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

It just makes no sense. You are following something intangible.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

It's tangible to me, and far more trustworthy than my own sense of reality.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You need to trust yourself more - as an individual.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I can't and won't.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You should.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

That's not very convincing.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I'm not your warden. It doesn't have to be.

As others have been fond of telling me lately: only you can change your own situation.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Only the Party can put me right, comrade.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

And you shall never see them again unless you leave here.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Then I shall wait patiently for it.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

If you just sit and wait you'll never get out.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Escape attempts are just as futile.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about that?

You have to better yourself.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Only the Party can do that.
