“How could I have been so stupid?”

“Do you really want me to answer that?”

“I believed her... she told me the world would remember my name forever.”

“To curse it, maybe. Now, stop whining and help me turn this off.”

“I... it's too late.”

“Tell me how to turn this bloody infernal machine off. Damn it, Burton. You believed her because that is what Helen does. She manipulates people, using them to further her own goals. I believe the usual term is 'Dragon Lady'. Now, get off your arse and help or by God you'll live to regret it.”

Noo, it's not too late!

Great term for HELEN! Once again, brilliant use of the prompt.

Definitely not unless this ends up being Apocafic

Once I found it, it just had to be HELEN!

Thanks for reading.

Those were terrific lines!
Good one!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Good to know those lines worked.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

You can do it, Burton. Although you're still an asshole.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Burton smiles... and then frowns ;)

Thanks for reading.

That's a perfect term to describe Helen. Hopefully Burton will take Lester's advice.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It was just too good to ignore. We can hope, but Burton hasn't listened to Lester so far.

Thanks for reading.

Well, Burton has had his epiphany - let's just hope he, Lester and the world survive it!

Straight talking Lester FTW

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* He has, now it depends on the next prompt what happens next. Am I likely to end the world? *vbeg*

Thanks for reading.

Nice use of the prompt.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

That's a good name for her *agrees*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Once I found the definition, it had to be Helen.

Thanks for reading.

Nice one, Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester bows.

Thanks for reading.

Nice incorporation of the prompt. Love how James cuts through all Philip's angsting and focuses on the important stuff. (Like not destroying the world!)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad it worked. *nods* Lester doesn't believe in messing about well... except with Connor ;)

Thanks for reading.

I like the way Lester is trying to get Philip back on track!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester thinks he might need Philip to stop the end of the world.

Glad you liked it and thanks for looking it over and for reading.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you think so and thanks for reading.

He really needs to stop wallowing!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

He does, maybe he will.

Thanks for reading.
