(IC) War

The conglomerate that I belong to is about to enter direct conflict with an independent corporation. This will not be what most people will think of when the term corporate warfare is said. Yes, there will be manipulation and theft of each others' resources. Yes, there will be political games. Unfortunately, there will also be bloodshed; ambushes in the night, house fires with the occupants at home, car bombs, etc.

Open conflict like this will weaken both sides and open us up to far worse. Third parties will take advantage of the situation and invade our territory. If they are smart, they will wait until the dust has settled and attack the weakened victor. Some of them will be that smart. Others will just enter the ensuing fray to ad to the chaos.

My only hope is that "collateral damage" can be avoided. This is a vain hope. None of our companies place much value on the individual passerby. They just don't like press. This means that more people will die, as witnesses will be removed. If only there were a way out, a way to return to my old life. It was secretive and weird, but I didn't have to worry about being forced to kill innocents.

I'll just do my best to be aimed at those who deserve to meet their Judge.

(IC) Oh the danger...

I'm sure most people have done things they know that they shouldn't. Well, I'm there. There is this absolutely powerful member of an unaffiliated company. You could say that he is a member of their board of directors, answerable only to their CEO. This particular company is more dangerous than most. Their dealings are far from legal.

This dangerous, powerful man is also absolutely gorgeous and was hitting on me. He usually does things for a reason, getting something for something. He also known for his rather rampant sexuality.

If this involved cheating on my boy, it wouldn't even be a question. It wouldn't happen. This powerful individual likes all sorts of activities and wouldn't blink twice at a ménage à trois.

Oh he's so beautiful... Imagine that you are a homely, pimply teenager and and Orlando Bloom was interested in you. I'm not homely, but this is as close to the scale of difference as I can get.

I wonder what my wonderful boy will say to the invitation...

(IC) Requital

Eternal yet short sighted
Blind and seeking their next mark
All they embrace is blighted
Cursed to perpetual dark

Floating through them like a dream
A light surrounded by murk
They sustain their plots and schemes
Building an illusive bulwark

Believing themselves all kings
Controlling a realm of gloom
Heedless of what the gleam brings
Ignorant of their own doom
