There was a lot of anger and suffering in that area. \u201cCrowd control would be the better gig by far. So now that you\u2019re back home what\u2019re your plans?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOh, I\u2019ve got a couple open web design contracts to keep the roof over my head, and I hop around wherever I\u2019m needed when little things go wrong. It\u2019s more often than I\u2019d like.\u201d The cruelties of humanity to itself is a constant source of sadness for her. She eyes her drink, toying with the ice again. \u201cMine is a very quiet life, really. I spend most of my free time at home, reading or playing games or tending the cats. I\u2019m not really,\u201d an uncomfortable shrug, \u201ca social person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAll evidence to the contrary I\u2019m actually pretty reclusive. I\u2019ve found that making a splashy appearance here and there for a few minutes allows me to a lot of time to spend working on various projects without being bothered. More or less.\u201d Tony offers a smile. He\u2019s trying to steer the conversation away from a topic that\u2019ll drag them both down into what could be an epic level of depression to rival the dark aroma of his favorite coffee. \u201cDo you want to be out among the people or would you rather stay at your place? Have you ever considered a nullifier?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m very much an introvert. I&#8217;d far rather hide in my own space, safe from &#8212; well.&#8221; She tips back the drink, ice cubes rattling. &#8220;Why? What&#8217;s a nullifier?&#8221; He&#8217;s trying to steer the conversation, she knows, but so long as they talk at all about her ability, there will be pain underlying it. And, she thinks, the same for him. If they could find a thing that didn&#8217;t cut &#8212; but that was unlikely. They were who they were.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>starkappeal: iamthefirechild: starkappeal: \u201cThing is if you focus on what\u2019s gone wrong rather than moving past it and making certain it doesn\u2019t happen again you get dragged down by the guilt.\u201d Speaking from experience Tony sips at his drink then nods as if considering what she must have gone through searching for him with her &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/2013\/05\/08\/starkappeal-iamthefirechild-starkappeal\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[10,3362,3363],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28232"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28232\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.firechildren.net\/lightfire\/iamthefirechild\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
