Last night was horrible. I had to be social with some people at a beach-barbeque. I had to consume massive amounts of alcohol in order to preserve my sanity. I'm never doing that shit again, but I was forced to do it this time because it was someone's birthday party. I used all of my life-batteries to fake my shallowness; talk about random things and the world cup as if I actually gave a flying fuck. Edit: Sorry, I get extremely selfish when I'm upset. @Tenish, That's quite an amusing thought, and as you said, also appropriate—there is a distinct air of supernatural teen drama to this story, indeed! But, Freddy? Are you sure he would be the one to betray everyone? Usually it's the one you would least expect! @Ozerath, Keep expanding the relations with Thael's brothers. I love reading about characters' sub-plot stuffs!
