♐ 003 // [Action] - Fourth Wall

[crisisrain]

[Raven was sitting on the porch of house 12, debating whether or not to try and brave the light snow fall. He wanted to go buy some red wine and curl up in the warm, ignoring winter forever. He can't ignore the fact that there is a sudden abundance of strange wingless people walking around however.]

He was the leader of Altosk, not you, it was his responsibility ta take that burden on. Right now, it's your duty to keep the guild goin'. I know it's not gonna be easy, but you'll be fine as soon as ya stop blamin' yerself. You didn't kill him, and ya didn't kill the Duce either!

B-but if I hadn't called the attack none of it would have even happened. You can't say that isn't true cause it is.

[crisisrain]

Ya weren't the only person involved in the incident though. What do ya think the Don would do if he saw ya mopin' around like this?

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

... He'd probably tell me to cut it out.

B-But that's not the point!

[crisisrain]

Yes, it is! Don't ya get it? The Don left Altosk in yer care, it's about time ya manned up and took over. No, you won't ever be the Don, but ya can start yer own legacy instead.

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

But why me? I'm sure that there's a lot of other people in Altosk that could do a better job than me...

[crisisrain]

Because yer his grandson, keep the lead in the family and all.

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

Well do YOU think it's a good idea to do it that way?

Cause I dunno... maybe it isn't.

[crisisrain]

What else do ya plan to do with yer life then?

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Not having a plan seems to work for you.

... N-not that I want to end up like you, though.

[crisisrain]

Kid, ya've honestly got no idea what I do with myself. The bar is just the way I kick back and relax from it all.

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

I know some. You're an errand boy, but you just do the really important errands. That's what Gramps made it sound like your job is.

... Or was, anyway.

[crisisrain]

That's good enough fer me. It's more than you do at least.

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

H-hey I do plenty of things. Not like you would know, running all over the place constantly the way to do.

[crisisrain]

Feel free ta give me a list of all the things ya do.

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

W-what does it matter to you, old man?

[crisisrain]

Ya were criticizing what I was doin', yet... ya don't do much yerself.

[altoskbrat.livejournal.com]

So what?

It's not l-like I care what you think, anyway.

[crisisrain]

Fair enough, I'm not gonna force ya to like me. But I'm not just gonna let ya run wild, you've got a responsibility now. Time ya manned up and dealt with it!

[Harry's quiet again for a moment.]

... What if I mess everything up again, though?

[crisisrain]

[He smacks Harry around the back of the head.]

Stop bein' so stupid! Are ya gonna let people walk over ya, or are you gonna stand on yer own two feet?! Isn't that what the Don wanted?
