005 ≠ ( AUDIO )

How does one go about undoing a sudden interest in guardianship that a certain shelled someone seems to have found in me?

[ Someone's been trying to ignore Emily-Helen's insistent mental summons of her new papa, and it's getting to a point where it's becoming near-impossible to hear himself think over her in his head --and he's used to some pretty chatty ghosts already stuck up in there. ]

Why would you want to? They're amazing.

[denyamenti]

Because it's clearly a choice made in error.

[ Because even Bakura knows he's a really bad option for turtle parent. ]

I think that the mentoree teaches the mentor more than the other way around.

[denyamenti]

Perhaps in most cases. The point is more that if you know something will end badly-- fix the problem ahead of time.

[backinakidflash]

Depends on your point of view. Just about everything that ends well for someone ends badly for someone/something else. Teach a man to fish... yeah, he won't go hungry anymore, but wow it sucks for the fish.

Anyway. You're gonna have to define badly. Preferably without it sounding all 'oh no this cute turtle wants to be my friend.'

Badly as in I would probably end up getting it killed. How's that?

[backinakidflash]

Uno, there are other people linked to the turtle; dos, you can't make it do things; tres, they're pretty tough. I've seen them go through walls.

[denyamenti]

I still want it out of my head.

[backinakidflash]

I want a box of Ding-Dongs. What's your point?

[denyamenti]

[ This entire post has been an exercise in frustration! Bakura thinks, no wonder he stays away from chatting with the other Foreigners most days. ]

So I am asking how it can be changed.

Ask Asti? I dunno how you're expecting us to know. We're not the telepathic turtles. It probably likes you or wants to cheer you up.
