Brenna's Open Journal - An exploration

Naya wrote: Yeah, I was going to say that I see these tactics being used on a very regular basis here, and most of it is non ranked individuals. Yet mostly I've seen their efforts at playing mind games with people cheered and encouraged, or at the very least, ignored.

I would have to agree Naya. Which leaves me to wonder if the concern is only because it is not "expected" from me, or if its because I will not simply accept my telling off with grace

What, would you prefer me to be an asshole? Like I was? That what you want to see Bren? Maby post my old Sith pic up, that make you happy....huh? I find it ironic how all the sudden you're being the real you, where were you a week ago, a few days ago? The fact that you drawbso much pleasure out of using the Temple and some of your friends in a psychological experiment is really telling, apparently I don't know you at all. You were right, I would have protested against it, cause its wrong, but what do I know...

Not at all Zenchi. I like what you are. After the knocks I took from you but stuck around I would have thought that you would know that.

Real me? Did I say that? I thought I said I was exploring things. Sides of coins and all that waffle. Is that not allowed to be part of me too. Why do I have to be one or the other? Why must i pick a side.

The mind games and tatics no one seems to like are right here in this thread,
how is this any different from what mortose and others have done?

DONE playing your mind games...

Oh get off it. Youre still peeved that I refused to tell you what I was on about. Annoyed that I wouldnt confide in you.

But remind me if you are ever kind to take what you say with a pinch of salt..

Wouldn't do me much good if I were to remind you. In fact, the whole game is dependent on you forgetting.

What game is that then? Life? This game here on this thread?

Nah, I didn't mean to be philosophical about it.

Just, that if I wanted to use kindness as a manipulative tool, it would be dependent on you not knowing I was attempting to use it that way.

The kicker is... I'm not always trying to be manipulative. Only sometimes. In fact, a lot of the time... I'm quite lovely! Just sometimes, I have been known to ruin people's lives for my own gain. Haven't done it in 4ish years, but I have done it. I don't know if I'll ever do it again, either. But, I might.

And that begs the question... am I trustworthy enough to be a clergyperson? Maybe not.

What Brenna did here was demonstrate not who might be "dark" in ToTJO. Rather, she served the Council here and through that, "The Force". Soon, the ripples from the small stone she threw will turn into waves of change, redirecting the focus here to the areas its movers and shakers have decided on... or felt guided to push it towards.

Clever. I am sure it did more as well, though I am not clear on what as of yet.
