HOKAY SO MASSIVE S1 SPOILERS THEN, also CW: mention of suicide

[youngtimer]

See, we all ended up feeling the same way. That's why I found out, eventually, that we all left. My sister Vanya wrote a tell-all book about it - I read it in the library ruins while I was stuck in the apocalypse. Diego left, first to join the police, then he went vigilante. Allison became a movie star. Klaus just ... drifted in and out of rehab because drugs were the only way he could avoid his power, poor idiot. And you already know about Luther and the moon. We were all kinda scattered to the winds, living our lives ... until we found out he died. The day I came back from the Commission was the day of his funeral. Luther and Diego got in a fight over whether or not Dad had been murdered. Luther was convinced he had been. Diego wasn't. But I was too determined to stop the apocalypse to care either way.

[he sips at his drink, taking a slow breath once he's swallowed. he's had so much time to think about this, and it still absolutely stymies him]

Turns out they were both wrong. Klaus got a chance to talk to Dad's spirit, right before everything started going haywire. He fucking killed himself, because he knew it was the only way to get us all back together again so that we could save the world. You want to talk about control - [he snorts, flailing a hand in the air] - well.

Reginald Hargreeves could probably be your posthumous poster child.

[alchepistol]

......Impermissible.

[ Not that she can do anything about it. And not that she's good enough at being a social person that she's offering condolences. But Saint-Germain sits here, a pillar of grim indignation. Horatio Hargreeves has.....!!

She is practically emanating Righteousness. Getting it all over your nice den of sin. Beg pardon. ]

[youngtimer]

Pretty much how I felt about it, too.

[he sighs, finishing off his own drink]

But in the end, he got what he wanted - even if he was the one who set the whole problem up in the first place. I don't know if he realized that part, though: that suppressing Vanya's powers as a kid would make her go nuclear once she found out. That she was the one who would have caused the Apocalypse.

[alchepistol]

If he did, it's an awkward way to make amends.

[ ....That said. She closes her eyes, trying to cool her head, sipping her drink. Who was it whose desire to liberate mankind from control was used by one who wished to exert that control.....? And who then burned up her own self in the hopes of finally being of use to others....? For whom, being there, when she was needed, was enough to make her feel her long life had been worthwhile....? ]

Though I'm one to talk.

[youngtimer]

I don't really think amends had anything to do with it, personally, but ... it's a nice thought, I guess.

[her final remark makes him tilt his head at her curiously]

Pretty sure you're about as far from anything like my father as anyone could get.

[alchepistol]

[ To speak honestly? That warms her heart. Perhaps it's a false comparison. He would know - and, if an attempt to benefit humanity did not lie at the heart of Reginald Hargreeves's actions, the parallel does crumble. ]

I'll take that as a compliment.

care to start wrapping this since they have the theatre plot later?

[youngtimer]

That's the right idea. ... Anything else you want to know?

sounds good!

[alchepistol]

I believe that suffices for today.

[ Haste makes waste. This is why Saint-Germain's default response to seeing something she absolutely can't ignore is......watch it. Like a hawk. A revolutionary hawk.

Who is discovering that the falcon one tree over is well worth bordering territory with. ]

Thank you again.
