Give Me a Reason
Well, today's the final day. Time's up, gang, but before we go, I've still got some things to say.



I've noticed within the past couple of days that everyone's been walking around as if they're already on Death Row. And why not? You've all worked your asses off this summer, and you some of you got back everything that you'd sacrificed, second chances with the people you gave up for the world. And now you all seem to be ready to do that again. Just give it all up, and do the "right thing".

The right thing. It's a funny term, isn't it? There's so many definitions of the right thing- Wesley thought taking Connor was the right thing, and if the prophecy had been true, and Angel was going to slaughter his baby son, it technically was. You all seemed to think following Jasmine was the right thing, until Twig there got contaminated and saw the truth. Cordelia thought that if she sacrificed herself for Angel's sake, became a demon, and even ascended to the status of Higher Being, that she would be doing the right thing. Yet all of those times you've done "the right thing", you've been screwed over. Wesley was tricked, and Angel lost Connor, Jasmine was really after some sick free-love form of world domination, and Cordelia ends up trapped in a coma after giving birth to the anti-Christ.

You'd think, however, that you all would be rewarded vastly for all of what you've done, that the rewards would outweigh the price. For all you've done, you'd think you'd get to live like kings, and get your happily ever afters. In the end, you've lost everything. Friends, family, lovers, all that you hold dear, the Powers seem to enjoy stripping from you, as if you all are the subject of some big cosmic joke. Don't get me wrong, I usually love watching you all in pain and agony over this, but since I'm now apparently part of it, I'm not enjoying. And now that all of you- of us- have the chance to possibly take on that happily ever after, and live with their loved ones, their family, take the reward you've always deserved, and you all are still so caught up on doing the "right thing" ... I'm starting to think you deserve the punishments you receive, for your idiocy.

I know you all see this as some form of mass murder, but let's put things into perspective. Firstly, there are billions upon billions of universes out there, and they die off, self-destruct at random, and I doubt anyone who really matters even bats an eye at it. This would just be natural selection, the way of the universe, the natural order, whatever you want to call it, taking place and the only difference would be is that someone finally decided to give you all a break.

And let's say you do choose to reset the world. What's guaranteeing that Fate doesn't decide to fuck you all over again- and this time, there's no offer, no deal, and you're stuck on the planet as it dies off. And I'm not saying that it's a definite thing that will happen, but let's take a look at your track record here. Sure, there might be the off-chance that you get back, and it ends up being paradise, but really. The Powers don't give that out until you're dead, run into the ground, and that's only if you've managed to fuck the right people. As far as I know, you all sure aren't on that list. So make your choice, but don't forget what I've said: You've all been offered to take that reward, and it's better than anything the Powers would ever come up with. Don't waste it only to lose everything in the end.
