{FAILED LOCK}

Really, the most irritating thing isn't his words. The opinions of others mean absolutely nothing; I'm certainly never lying when I say that. He'd like to think that he can get under my skin, and I'll admit that I've slipped up a couple of times in that regard- but that has been taken care of; it won't happen again. No, the most irritating thing is that he's right.

I doubt that it's fear. It would be characteristic of her, I suppose, to fear me- but for some reason, she doesn't. I also doubt that she's just "waiting to see me fall"- that could easily be done from the sidelines. It's that third theory of his that I've considered before (I hope he doesn't think for one moment that he planted the idea in my head; that I allowed him to create such an... insecurity). That she really, truly hasn't realized yet that I am a monster. At some level, I'm sure she does (why else would she have said...)- but once she starts listening to those other friends of hers; really listening to them...

Ty Lee has always been easily convinced of things.

I am a monster. I always have been. I've never denied it. But I don't know why the idea of her recognizing it and calling me out on it is so... tsk.

It's an inevitability. I shouldn't bother deluding myself into thinking otherwise.

...

That smug detective really does need to be taught a lesson.

Poor thing.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

This is getting ridiculous. I never had problems with locking things in the past.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

Don't try and hide the content.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I never hide anything of significance.

I really love to be right, but I said that because you irritated me that time. I'm not taking it back though.

People can love monsters, you know. It all about accepting the person you really are, and see if she can accept it too. If Ty Lee can't love you by who you are, even if that you is not as acceptable as the others human behaviors, then it didn't worth your time.

You will be amazed about how many serial killers were married, and how many of them had married after their crimes, trials, and convictions. After learning everything else about them — reading and seeing what they did to their victims, and reading the accounts of those who survived — what probably surprised me most was that there apparently wasn’t anything these people could do that was bad enough for them to lose the right to marry.

I'm not smug, princess. I just know myself very well.

(OOC: wow he really strike that time, don't' he? O_o it wasn't even on purpose.)

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You aren't right. And I'm not commenting on all the idiotic things you've said. ... Also, I am hardly a serial killer.

I know myself very well, too. But you are smug.

OOC: Pfft, like she said, she's been wondering this sort of thing on her own for ages. :P

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

You keep saying that. I didn't said that you were, I was giving you an example.

You can think whatever you want about me, princess Azula.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No, I meant that I'm leaving that diatribe you just spilled out alone.

I always do.

[pandorabox]

Maybe being a monster isn't something you should strive to do, Obaa-san.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Who said that I'm "striving" to be anything? Perhaps it just comes naturally.

[pandorabox]

Maybe you should 'strive' to change that.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

But I don't want to.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

About time you figured it out.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What? About his needing a lesson? He's needed one for quite some time; it's not as if I just had a revelation.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

No, no, about all the rest of it.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

The "rest of it" doesn't matter. It wasn't meant to be seen.

And I haven't just figured that out, either.

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

How many times have other people called you on all that? He must have stated it just right, to get it through your head.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

As I've told all of you, I am quite aware of my nature. It's not as if he brought anything to light.

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

And yet her irritates you enough to want him punished?

[fillmydarksoul.livejournal.com]

You're actually a lot deeper than you let on, honey.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Go away.

[fillmydarksoul.livejournal.com]

Hey now, don't insult the lady that's giving you a compliment.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

Oh, 'Zula.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

...

What is it, Ty Lee?

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry for calling you a monster...
