Four Stars [Hand writing]

[Something had been bothering her for awhile now and recently it had started to weigh even more heavily on her mind. It was to the point now that she thought about it almost constantly. She had enough time to do so each day with her two hour commute to and from work each day. But no matter how much she thought about it, there were no easy answers for her. So late one night after an exhausting trip home, Ariel pulled out a pen and paper and began to write a little story to the network.]

Once there was this girl who lived in the land of Magic. At first she didn't have any magic herself, so she decided that she would move away to the land of Dreams were there was a bright future ahead of her. In the land of Dreams there was a job that she had wanted since she was a very little girl, It was a job that she had worked hard for and that she saw her whole bright future stretching away in.

And then one day before she moved away, she woke up to find she had magic powers! Unfortunately, the magic powers were bound to the land of Magic and leaving that land meant her powers went away. At first she was alright with loosing her magic powers. While they were impressive, the were not needed in the land of Dreams. She left for the Land of Dreams with the intent to never return. But then a great calamity struck the land of Magic and she was forced to return.

Once she returned, she started to get more powers and form stronger bonds with the people from the land of Magic. She discovered that a great deal of her family and friends also had magic powers and she became happy in the land of Magic for a time. But she couldn't stay in the land of Magic, not when the land of Dreams also needed her. In an attempt to live in both worlds she started to travel back and forth between the land of Dreams and the land of Magic.

It got to the point where she was traveling every day between the land of her dreams and the land of magic, trying to keep a happy balance between both. Leaving the land of Magic meant she lost her magic powers and everything seemed a little colder and people a lot more distant while in the land of Dreams. But in the land of Dreams, she was doing what made her happy. She lost nothing leaving the land of Dreams, except that the land of dreams was very far away so she had to travel there for a long time each day. Unfortunately in this fairytale there is no such thing as happy balance between dreams and power. And it soon became apparent to the girl that she was going to have to choose, one or the other.

The thing is, how does one decide between the two? If she chose the land of Dreams, it meant not only loosing her magic powers but also loosing everyone that she was close to and cared about. And if she chose the land of Magic, That meant giving up her dreams and the bright future she wanted for herself.

What would you do if stuck in that girl's place? What choice would you make?

The future isn't set in stone. Thing will change. Other jobs and opportunities will open up.

Whatever you decide you'll have the full support of your friends and family here. [Gabriel's confident he can speak for them on this because he knows a fair amount of her social circle and knows what they're like.]

That's not really subtle, though I guess subtle wasn't what you were aiming for.

Didn't know it was that bad.
espigeonage: (💕In a thousand years we'll meet again)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-05-17 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I know you love that job. And you just got it, too!
espigeonage: (👓along and they love you)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-05-17 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You can't live somewhere near the edge of the boundary? Shrink the commute a little? But that's easier said than done.

Does your employer know you're one of us?
espigeonage: (💔Cause you can't see)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-05-17 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
True. I go past the boundary like twice a week at most. Must be more disorienting doing it every day there's work.

Would you have moved to get closer if there wasn't numbers stuff going on? Two hours each way is nasty.

[He'll pretend it is]

Time to find a new job, you think?
espigeonage: (👔And a better daughter or son)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-05-17 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
And you came back.

What if you cut your hours? If it was possible to just head out there two or three days a week.

Yeah, it's fun. I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong sometimes, since the skill came from a pulse and stuff, but it's not bad. Why?

[He pauses, thinking]

Did you get fired from the park?
espigeonage: (👓for weeks with its absence)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-05-17 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Damn.

I know how much this means to you. What were you working before this again? I'd hate to see you go back to it.
