Shared the following message below:

After discussing the possibility with Luci, it seems that it may be possible to trigger an early Awakening. However, the process is extremely dangerous and will require a few of those known as "Awakened" to be present. I presume their function is to act as damage control or, should things go awry, to act as messengers and relay the unfortunate results of this experiment.

I am not looking to be talked out of this, so do not waste your breath. Instead, I ask for volunteers to meet me tonight at the gardening club room. The chances of success will be greater with your assistance.

I would be lying if I claimed that I wasn't a little excited.

Well well well, now I'm really looking forward to it. I have to say all of this is making this little city much more interesting.

It sounds like you could use a hobby.

How is this not a hobby? I can show you some others I have as well if you like.

To each their own, I suppose.

What other hobbies do you have?

[She takes a second trying to decide if she wants to just up and tell a stranger she likes picking on people. It's not like she's not making her enjoyment schadenfreude public just by being interested in having a front seat to him crashing and burning into a full awakening.]

Trying weird food, shopping, bullying people. My friend once gave me a manicure and we tested how many things you could add to a nail. It was really impressive. I like trying new things.

I see. So that's why.

[Kit had his suspicions, but her reason for wanting to spectate was painfully obvious now and her lust for the misfortune of others left a bitter taste in his mouth. He had nothing against those who could and actively chose to fight, but anyone who wielded their privilege against those who had none, who bullied others purely for their own amusement, was lower than filth in his mind. Even at his worst, Kit had never victimized the small or the weak. He was an opportunistic hunter and he had done some arguably monstrous things...but he was not soulless.]

I am afraid we will not get along very well. The majority of my interests are not so selfish as that, or so callous.

[It's a good thing she's not trying to make friends or have philosophical conversations. She just laughs at the screen and types on.]

Oooh someone's judgy for a guy who doesn't want to talk out his poor life decisions. What time do the fireworks start tonight?

[Knowing what he did, Kit would have preferred that she didn't show up, but he also knew that it might be better if she did. Having a better idea who it was he was actually speaking with and having an opportunity to obtain information about them...those two things made it much easier to tolerate the presence of someone who was quite disagreeable.

So he gave her the time. Which I don't actually know but it's probably around like 2:00AM or thereabouts.]

I expect it won't be the kind of exciting you're hoping for.

[This is what happens when you post for everyone to see. The perils of social networks. She sets herself a reminder on her phone.]

I don't think we're really in a position to expect anything at this point, do you? It's what makes it all so exciting. See you tonight.

[She leaves it open for a few moments longer just to make sure he doesn't want to get the last word in.]

[More like the perils of doing as instructed by Luci, but there were far worse things in life than the attention of a malicious troll.

In any case, Kit was civil enough at times to offer her a polite goodbye rather than more of an argument or further judgment.]

Tonight then.

[And that was all he said. He left it at that because there were things he needed to prepare and he had no time to waste...]
