[Yes, Devon is still moping and depressed about what happened two months ago when his magic basically got hijacked and ended up freezing everyone.  His magic has never run wild like that before, and even though it wasn't truly his magic he still feels at fault.]

How do you forgive yourself for doing something... bad?  Even when you didn't mean for it to end up bad.  In fact, it may not have even been totally your fault, but the hurt was still possible because of something you did.  

[Does that even make sense?  He hopes it does.]

Well, yes... And it wasn't intentional either. The intentional part of murder is what makes it worse than everything else.

[How exactly did creating ice sculpture that came alive and froze people turn into a discussion about murder?]

[Look, dude, you brought up guilt in a vague way on the multiverse internet. He decides not to clarify anything about unintentional murder.]

Then, I guess, talking to the ones you hurt and not doing it again? That's usually the standard method.
the4united: (something going on?)

[personal profile] the4united 2022-03-21 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
I have no intention of doing it again! Only... I'm not sure I can stop it from happening since I have no idea how it happened this time, and it wasn't even me that truly caused it...

[Just provided the tools that were used for another source of magic that wasn't his.]
ghoulserrand: (Erm)

[personal profile] ghoulserrand 2022-03-22 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
... I think maybe you should work on figuring that out before feeling guilty. If you don't even know if you did it, you can't say it's your fault.

It couldn't have happened without what I did though. What I created was then used by someone else.

[personal profile] ghoulserrand 2022-03-28 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That leaves a lot of room for tangential blaming. What exactly did you do?
the4united: (oh shit)

[personal profile] the4united 2022-04-04 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Um... created the ice sculptures that suddenly came alive and started freezing people later on.
ghoulserrand: (Grunge)

[personal profile] ghoulserrand 2022-04-13 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
...

Well, that's something.

But, I don't think that it's necessarily your fault the sculptures came to life... unless you did that too?
the4united: (say what?)

[personal profile] the4united 2022-04-20 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
No! I definitely didn't do that! I mean, I could I guess, but definitely not that many or that wide spread.
ghoulserrand: (Grunge)

[personal profile] ghoulserrand 2022-04-22 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Then you didn't do it! Not your fault! Problem solved.
the4united: (say what?)

[There's dead silence for a very long period of time before Devon finally speaks.]

You... you think so?

[He makes it sound so... easy. Devon never thought he'd be forgiven that easily!]
ghoulserrand: (Grunge)

[personal profile] ghoulserrand 2022-05-01 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't mind the quiet. Sometimes a guy has to take his time. He gets that.]

Yeah, I mean... why not? It wasn't your fault, no one's hurt... If no one's mad, what's to forgive...?
the4united: (Default)

[personal profile] the4united 2022-05-01 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone has to be mad.

[He figured a lot of someones really. And he's not about to assume nobody got hurt either.]
ghoulserrand: (Wandering)

[personal profile] ghoulserrand 2022-05-02 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Why? Has anyone got mad just seeing this?
the4united: (looking up)

[personal profile] the4united 2022-05-08 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, no... I guess not. More confused.
ghoulserrand: (Goggles)

[Picture him leaning back and pointing a finger gun. It's what he'd do if he weren't typing this out.]

There you go, dude. You're projecting what you're afraid of, but that's all it is. You're not in trouble at all.
