Question Tea and Tears

Ouch, the lyrics at the start suggest a theme of jealousy. Dawson House, Beacon Hill, Boston and just 2 days until Halloween. Daniel and ouch, a place of comfort now nothing to him. His wife losing herself, to lose her to Alzheimer's like this, I can't imagine the pain.

For all his things meant nothing because he could not save that which was most precious to him. He laid his head on his desk and wept.

Makes you just wish you could cure her somehow.

At Whateley in Melville Cottage, a package arrived for Jadis earlier, now that is a secure suitcase. Misty shows up to their dorm room and is curious about the briefcase, so am I. Solon-5! A gift, she is giving this to Tansy for her grandmother, please let it not have the side-effects of Solon-4. Yikes! When Misty gets that look in her eyes it is scary.

Jadis couldn't help but wonder if Tansy's nearly unearthly beauty was the compensation the universe was offering her for the massive, steaming dump it had taken on her life.

If that were true, a lot more mutants with issues would be high-level Exemplars.

Her shame at the complete slut she had become to use boys into getting what she had wanted, allowing her father to manipulate her into using her powers for him and the isolation and psychological abuse he had practiced on her, turning her into a weapon for his own ends.

And the thought of forgetting what love feels like, terrifying.

It wasn't just unfair, it was downright inhumane that someone could be so beautiful. Helen would weep with envy.

Interesting way of looking at it.

Yet, encased in this living statue, this goddess descended among mortal men was a science fiction and comic book nerd whose tastes in fiction were as unrefined as they were broad and accepting. That Aphrodite would also house a good and decent girl who had merely lost her way when she had been cursed with this beauty, who had missed her friendship with Jadis for who Jadis was, not what she could accomplish or who her father was.

Only a true friend can see you for who you truly are.

Earl Grey, hot. Heh, sorry, that line from Picard is drilled into my mind.

“Grandpa called Mom today,” she said softly. “They weren't accepted into the Solon-4 Trial. She...she's worried he'll do something reckless.”

So that was the letter which upset Daniel.

“This,” Jadis told her, “is Solon-5. My Dad tells me it has all of the reparative powers of 4, that the official agencies are only just starting to admit to, as well as a few other of his favorite properties. There's a complete set of directions and warnings for their doctor as well as dosage instructions.”

And Jadis is a great friend, but still concerned they use it the right way and not self-administer.

“I will put it in Dr Anderson's hands myself,” Tansy promised. She stood, crossed the short space and swept Jadis up into a hug. Jadis felt a flood of emotions radiating off her friend, love, gratefulness, friendship that brought a smile to her face as she returned the hug.

And then talking about World Without End, I love these two being friends again.

And Misty showing up to their dorm room on Friday, exhausted from the week.

The holy grail of Unicorn plushies, the large size, limited edition plush of “Lady Amalthea” from The Last Unicorn. Misty clutched her treasure to her cheek and realized she had the best room mate ever!

Whoa, for Jadis to even find one of those is working some major connections.

A short but very sweet short with a lot of emotional moments I loved. From feeling the pain of Daniel at losing his wife to Alzheimer's like this and a letter shattering what he believed was his one hope, to Jadis giving Tansy the Solon-5 and all the emotions between these two united friends. Even Misty's excited at getting the rarest of Unicorn plushies in existence was fun to see. Can't wait and see how the treatments go, plus Tansy and Jadis's reformed friendship continue.

Nothing mattered except for the phone held listlessly in his hand and a text message that began 'We are sorry to inform you...'

'That we can't launch an orbital strike on your son-in-law, for causes of budget restrictions. Death squadrons will be sent as a consolation prize.'

He was losing all that truly meant anything to him, the sweet, beautiful partner he had been blessed with so long ago to a stranger that was stealing her body and had no idea who or where she was.

They are refusing people for experimental treatments? Man, situation is dire.

The blond shrugged and walked back to her bed. “Hey, it's not any of my business what you put into your body. So long as I am not wrapped up in things, I don't really care. Now, if you want to turn this place into a pharmacy, that's a whole different kettle of fish...”

While the integrity is to be saluted, think harder, Misty. You have a one-time-of-ever opportunity there...

Her shame at the complete slut she had become to use boys into getting what she had wanted, allowing her father to manipulate her into using her powers for him and the isolation and psychological abuse he had practiced on her, turning her into a weapon for his own ends.

At least your father... Oh right, the implants and the devil...

Jadis shuddered at the thought of being so completely alone that she could forget what love felt like.

One line to justify the Bad Seeds' existence... And highlight how harassing them for no reason but prejudice is... Nope, no delicate way, it's just plain shitty.

Jadis' reflexions

I can see thepain and the compassion, but I get a slight impression of 'too much' from the descriptions of Tansy's beauty....

“Grandpa called Mom today,” she said softly. “They weren't accepted into the Solon-4 Trial. She...she's worried he'll do something reckless.”

Pffft, people. You buy a few dozens of kilo of C4, and they're all worried about nothing...

She smiled and handed the briefcase to her friend. “Tansy, there are risks, and the DVD talks about all of them for their doctor to go over with them.”

*Thinks about what Alzheimer does* And I can bet many people wouldn't give a duck about them.

Tansy couldn't keep in a giggle as she wiped the tears from her eyes and the two girls settled into their favorite past time.

Dawwwwww.

She ripped open the wrapping paper in an orgy of expectation until her eyes glistened and her breath caught in her throat as, in her hands, she held the rarest of the rare. The holy grail of Unicorn plushies, the large size, limited edition plush of “Lady Amalthea” from The Last Unicorn. Misty clutched her treasure to her cheek and realized she had the best room mate ever!

Just wait for Friendship is Magic's release... And for Best Pony/Human: Sunset Shimmer.
