South Attic, Monday Morning: First steps on a new path - NFB

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka caught the radio and was surprised to hear Tara's voice. Not surprised as in, surprised like she expected her dead, just surprised as in 'huh, never figured Tara for the radio type'.

She'd been expecting the news about Angelus-who-was-now-Angel. Not that she looked forward to seeing him or dealing with it. But, the fact that he'd washed up with her old friends didn't surprise her much. If she'd been him, it was probably where she would've gone too. She'd have to tell Crichton and Aeryn and Lee, right away, that she applauded them, no matter what she thought of the resouling.

Angelus gone. Strange. She'd miss him. But he'd hurt her. She'd let him do it, trusted him when she knew what he was. Her own fault. Still. A not insignificant part of her thanked Crowley and Mr. Phale's Divine Being that he was gone. It would make cleaning up her messes a lot easier.

Bel would be harder. Best friend Bel. With a mad-on against everyone who'd hurt Angelus and her with no way to stop him. Betraying him was out of the question. She'd do her best to keep an eye on him. Keep kicking him in the soul. Maybe she could get him to come with her to see Phale at some point, too. She tried to put responsibility for Bel out of her mind. Her promise to him extended to hurting Phoebe and her sisters. She might interpret that liberally, but she hadn't taken responsibility for everything he'd do, and she wouldn't. Her own messes had grown more than big enough to keep her busy. For a long while.

Future-Beka's warnings had rattled her. If she lost everything here, even Bel and Phoebe, it couldn't compare to the nightmare-futures her actions would create. Keep your heart and mind in balance, she'd said.

"Yay me. What the fuck does that mean?"

For one thing, it probably meant a whole hell of a lot of apologies. And even more question. She'd never be a 'good girl', but it looked like evil was right out. Not that she'd ever really wanted to be... except the few times she'd considered ways of getting rid of her soul, assuming it existed.

Beka sighed. Today was probably not going to be her best day.

(ooc: Ineffable's an adjective meaning unspeakable or taboo. *confused* Why does everyone keep using it as a noun?)

[ooc: Ineffable adjective FORMAL
causing so much emotion, especially pleasure, that it cannot be described:

I think for the terms of GO it's supposed to mean God or Heavenly beings. At least that's how I've taken it given the context in which it's been used.]

(ooc: Well, yes, something can be ineffable, because it's an adjective for whatever the subject is.. but it shouldn't just hang there with no subject. Sorry if this is confusing. *eyes Crowley player..*)

((It's short for 'the ineffable Plan', as referred to in GO, I believe.))

[I believe in GO they do use it as a proper noun on occasion. And yes, for Crowley and Aziraphale it's meant to refer to The Ineffable Plan, or Ineffable for short, and also sometimes to That Which is Ineffable. For GO purposes, 'ineffable' is used to mean something that cannot be understood but which encompasses all outcomes.]
