The Mind's Eye Café

Ezra

I shrugged, "That's just my dad's side. Most of them are Morgana's followers."

Jamie: I sighed. "Ive come to a conclusion. Families are highly confusing, and im glad i dont have to deal with such confusing things." i said matter-of-factly.

Ezra

"Liz has a good...normal family. And my mom's normal."

Jamie: "Well, that's good. I still say families are overrated though. Far too confusing. How do people deal with this stuff? Its wierd." i said thoughtfully. Or maybe it was normal and i was just wierd...? Yeah, no, getting confusing again.

Ezra
"It's not overrated. I need my mom. I need Liz. Family doesn't have to be blood it can be your friends." I said softly.

Jamie: "That's an interesting concept, i suppose..... i guess if you think about it that way then i have one family member. In our very, very short story, we were pretty much inseperable, and would've remained so had the story continued. Actually, i think my author is going to go bug people to try and revive it.... id like that...... i do miss Kyra quite a bit, actually....." i said quietly. "Family's a strange concept. Interesting to think about though. Interesting but confusing....."

Ezra
"No one's perfect. Of course all of our families are confusing. We're all different."

Jamie: "That's true. This concept.... will take some getting used to." i mused.

Ezra
"You can't get used to it. You just have to deal with it."

Jamie: "People's differences i can deal with. I dont have a family to dealw tih unless you count Kyra, but i can deal with the concept of family. I just dont understand it too well." i said, shrugging.

Ezra
I laughed, " No one does! I don't get mine!"

((Way to ping-pong, guys -.-))

Nike
"My family didn't want me to join the Organization, but I did anyway. They were mad at me, but we've made up since. I'm still in the Organization, though, and they can't stop me because I'm a legal adult. But anyway, since things have worked out, I have two families: my real one, and my family in the team and the researchers." I paused, thinking. "The family in the team and the researchers is all Peter and Senet have; they were taken from their home at a young age. Heh...those two are like little brothers to me."

(Sorry...)

Ezra

"You start to consider people as family sometimes more than your family! Heck, I'm related to Andrew but I hate him!"

Nike
"I know," I told him flatly. "So you've said. You have a lot of issues you need to work out. That's only one of them."

Ezra

"Like what? And if you think you're perfect. You're not." I said, glaring at Nike.

Nike
"Did I say that I thought I was perfect?" I asked, raising one eyebrow. "No. I don't think I'm perfect. And you have a lot of issues. You're emo and self-centered, to name two."

Ezra
"Why does everyone call me emo? I'm not emo! Just because I like the color black doesn't make me emo or goth for that matter! Name some more."

Dorian
Passing through, I just managed to catch the last thing Ezra said "You are definitely emo" I said as I passed where he and Nike were talking

Nike
"By emo," I began, "I mean that you're so. Damn. Emotional. You get emotional over the stupidest things! You cry all the time. You're melodramatic. You act like a PMSing girl, only worse. Because I get PMS, and I'm not nearly as bad as you are."

Ezra

"I think I cried..hmm a total of one time. At Peter's death. And then I screamed out in pain when I was being cut...he hit where Demetrius had knifed me."

Nike
"Pah!" I scoffed. "You're pessimistic and whiny. Not Andrew or August whiny, but still whiny. And you always bring the attention to yourself. That's what I meant by self-centered. You can't bear when the spotlight is on anyone but you! You wallow in self-pity. Oh, Peter's dead? Pity-party on Ezra! Do you see what's wrong with that picture?!"

Ezra

I held my hands up in surrender, "Fine. I'm Emo. Continue please."

Nike
"So yeah, there's the self-centered thing," I said. "You're a total attention hog. And then you're...not very tough. Your writer claims that you're a badass, but I just don't see it. Also, you, Liz, and Andrew seem to want to have the saddest stories out there. When you hear someone's background that sounds worse than your own sob-story, you go through pains to convince everyone that your story is the most heartwrenching. It drives me up a wall."

Ezra

I frowned, " And how do I fix all that."

Nike
"Stop wallowing in self-pity," I suggested. "Allow the spotlight to be on other characters rather than constantly on you. Don't be melodramatic. ...And quit angsting! My god, the angsting!"
