[A deft and swift hand is sketching across the paper. The image takes form quickly, and when done, looks something like this.

Beneath the rather freakish vision, Huo's neat handwriting:]

Appearances do not necessarily reflect character.

True colors make one wonder.

Indeed!

What about it?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Will you deny it entirely?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Naw man, but karma from the past you can't change. You can do all the good stuff and not be the same person you were last life.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

If your nature allows it.

As compared to canon... he has evidence here to believe it

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Huh? People change. May take awhile, but it happens.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

People change who are willing to change, and there can be no atonement without awareness and acknowledgment of the fault.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Can any man foresee the full course of his life? To change is not bad; all growth is change.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

There's growth and then there's forced traumatization.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Life is a trial; how can growth be any different? And yet, what choice does a man have [He pauses quite suddenly, and though the recovery is quick, the pause is still visible] but to brave the times?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

[Long pause]

Yeah you got a point there - about braving the times. You either give up and die, or you make sure you don't.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

We've gone strange places with this.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

You seem surprised.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

It was unexpectedly enlightening.

Seriously, Moon would've given up on him a long time ago

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Hah, now there's something I don't hear everyday.
