[Filtered from Shinoko]

I'm a bit worried my Signer's default mood lately is "Angry screeching noises".

Ah yes. Earth rule of law. Where we come from, you just roll a boulder at monkeys and their Minus Staffs and be done with it.

I suppose.

But what is she supposed to do.

[memoryistime]

I think the general lifespans of monsters is why attempting to kill someone is taken so casually if someone or something is being a problem. Humans don't generally live as long as most monsters do, so it becomes problematic when someone tries to kill another person.

Really, all I can think of is that she should cut off absolutely any contact with him. He only really ever seems to just make her fly into a rage-- be it because he deserves it, or because she has a Pavlovian response at this point towards him.

Though the stunting her emotional maturity thing probably doesn't help either, but I don't see how that would equate to wanting to kill someone.

[ancient_prophecy]

Yes. Especially when our life spans are eternal.

The problem is he and her run in the same line of work, so cutting off interaction might not be feasible.

... The farthest I can go before she can go to my realm is being emotionally a teenager.

Teenagers are bad at controlling their emotions.

[memoryistime]

... Maybe let her be a late teenager? It's still technically a teenager.

Just. Some emotional room there.

Though I still have to question more why her bad control of her emotions results in trying to kill someone. That seems like more of an issue with her and how she sees things than her emotional maturity... It's just not normal in any sense.

[ancient_prophecy]

Who said I wasn't.

But teenagers are a mess is my point, and more prone to fits of irrational rage.

Though, as I said.

She's been.

Really.

Cranky. Lately.

[memoryistime]

... Maybe she needs a vacation.

[ancient_prophecy]

There are no vacations from being a Signer.

The Crimson Dragon doesn't give me or her off days.

[memoryistime]

Sounds like an excuse to me.

She can do Signer work in another country. What's important is getting her out of this one, and away from the guy that's getting her angry.

[ancient_prophecy]

And do what.

[memoryistime]

Boy, I dunno. You and Red found plenty for us to do while Shinoko and I were in France, for instance.

I think you can find something to refocus Shinoko on instead of her complicated feelings towards wanting to inflict pain on someone.

[ancient_prophecy]

But I like it in Japan.

[memoryistime]

Then go to like, one of the tips of Japan. Do a tour of shrines outside of the general area here.

Just not around Domino for a while until Shinoko is a little less likely to destroy places and people.

[ancient_prophecy]

And if she doesn't cool down and Okinawa burns to the ground?

[memoryistime]

Either Okinawa burns down on a guess, or Domino burns down on a certainty at this rate.

[ancient_prophecy]

UGH.

You suck, fine. I'll kidnap her and take her on a trip.
