8th Command; Voice

[aggravating]

There's this old adage, Bargians. Secrets, secrets are no fun. Unless you are a part of one. I'd kind of like to add onto that for a minute. So, uh, bear with me.

There are a few things that yeah, they're supposed to be kept secret. No one and their aunt Martha care about your latest bowel movement or who you had a crush on in the third grade. Seriously, they don't. Unless you're loud, obnoxious, spray tan like hell every chance you have, and get into cat fights over who gets the last can of soda. Those are fine. As are the family secrets, things like divorces, fights. I'm not saying "Spill your guts, Bargites, 'cause it's just not faaaaaaair~!" Those aren't the types of secrets I'm talking about.

I'm talking about the secrets that have to do with someone else. If someone knows something about your future that, you know, might be good to know for your own peace of mind, your own well-being, then hey. What the hell are you keeping it from them for? Because I pretty much guarantee that when they find out - and they will - things will be even worse than you imagined.

And yeah, for the record? Lies of omission totally count.

[Private to Natasha]
Coulson's dead, huh? Or did Rogers leave that out of his debrief?

[Private to Arkady]
Gorgeous, I needed to be drunk yesterday.

[Private to Charles]
Give me a reason to actually keep giving a shit, Prof. Because apparently even if I work to come back to life now, I just die again later.

[Private to Steve]
So. Rogers.

Coulson's dead.

I flew a nuke into space.

Loki's a fucking supervillain.

Game over.

I don't understand.

Creatures smaller than God often cannot understand why things happen as they do - myself included. Without knowing how to manipulate fate, i'ts quite difficult to do so, and is intended to be this way.

To question is nature. But mere mortals should not be able to break fate by their own will.

Given the means and the opportunity, the ability to move through time and the desire to affect a certain change, who's to say that's not the will of God? Certainly not you, who just proclaimed to not understand it in the least.

[trenchcoatedly]

Do you mean to say that everything you can do is the will of the Lord?

I may not understand His will, but I find it unlikely that you do, either.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I mean to say that it's not a valid argument for or against anything.

[trenchcoatedly]

Some things, yes. Other things, no.

If the Lord bides me to do something, I would do it.

That's your own prerogative as a religious individual.
