un:BtchCrft- Meet a Wild Maggie- Video OTA

[liveforthemoment]

[ The screen pops to life and on the screen is a woman with long firey red hair. There is a smile on her face and she waves lightly.]

Well, it looks like we have some old and new faces around here this time. Now that everyone has had a little time to settle in for this mega fun ride we are all on together I thought I should say hello and introduce myself.

Hi~ I'm Maggie.

Pride and ignorance are funny things.

[Not so long ago, he was like that. A fool, really, secure in a world that he was certain would never change.

But oh, how it had, and how it had cost him.

His expression shifts, then, softening. Family. Another painful loss he knows too well.]

I'm sorry.

[liveforthemoment]

they are but I have heard some say that at least ignorance is bliss. I can't say I agree given the boogy men and women and other that could be under your bed.

[ Everyone had moments like that, no one becomes wise with out being a fool at first.

She gently lifted a shoulder.]

Thank you, but it's just part of life. You live you learn you win you lose. Spend your time sifting though it all and hope that you're not a shit of a person because of it.

It's hard to tell, in my experience. Some things, one is better off not knowing. But there's risk in it either way.

[He exhales softly. Danger either way, a fixed game that can't really be won. It sucks, but...he could only choose what he hoped was the lesser evil.]

Sometimes it's more than that, it's...

I don't know. I suppose it's harder for me, having made some...

"Mistakes" is an incredible understatement, I think. I wish I could be as accepting, but I'm not quite there yet.

[liveforthemoment]

You're right there, but I am a nosy gal. Personally, I just want to know what to expect.

[ Once again quiet took her, as she looked like she was debating on something. She brought her hand up extending a finger to tap the side of her mouth. Fuck it.]

I've killed with out mercy or care. I understand about it taking time to come to terms with your past. It's okay to be afraid of the things you see in the rear view mirror, but just know they are in the rear view. And should any of them try to come closer than that? You're building friendships now, you're not alone.

[bloodalwaystells]

That's true. Being able to prepare for something makes a difference over being completely surprised. When you know it's coming, it makes it a different situation.

Still difficult, but at least you know.

[He's quiet for a few moments too, listening and then thinking about what she's said.]

I appreciate it, I really do. My hands are not clean by any means, I've gotten used to being the man who does bad things for good reasons.

For a long time, I was involved with some very bad people. I didn't know. Didn't let myself realize. I did things I'm not proud of, thinking they were right, until I learned the truth. But I've tried to be better since, tried to make things right.

It's all I can do, these days, but I'm getting there. Trying to make some peace with who I've been and who I am now.

[Older, sadder, wiser.]

[liveforthemoment]

Well, if it makes any difference.. I have a good instinct about people, and my guts are telling me you are a good person. Everyone has imperfections in their porcelain. Clean or dirty...I already like you quite a bit.

[ She fixed him with a little smile]

And I truly look forward to getting to know you better.

[bloodalwaystells]

I appreciate it. I try to remind myself of the reasons I have to be better, the things I want to set right. Maybe this is a new opportunity, this place. I'm choosing to treat it as such, at least, because really, what else can I do?

[He might go home, someday, or he might not. He might be dead, or captured, or any of those uncertain fates. At least here, he wakes up in the morning without a blood price on his head. Or a bullet in his skull.]

But I'm glad to have met you, too. You've been a great help and that means a lot to me.
