He's dead

Now that I've finally worked up the energy to actually log in and post, I'll say it: Eddy's dead.

It's like that purple one said on TV, the potion takes your mind. If he'd just waited a few hours, he'd still be alive. I knew Eddy. He wouldn't let them take his mind if he knew it'd happen. The potion was supposed to give him a few hundred years, but instead it took his last few months.

That thing has Eddy's memories, but it's not Eddy. Eddy told some of the raunchiest and funniest jokes I ever heard. Eddy could never get enough of goofy, over-the-top violent action movies. Eddy hissed curses under his breath during tough repair jobs. Eddy liked to get liquored up at the strangest hours and spout off bizarre conspiracy theories after doing so.

Good qualities? A lot of them probably weren't. But they were his, and he was a good guy despite them. They were part of what made him, him. And now they're gone. All gone. The pony that took his place calls alcohol poison and when I tried to watch Grosse Point Blank with him he left in disgust. He's a pleasant smiling zombie with wings.

Never saw the base commander so pissed in my life. Short guy built like a stick figure, practically blind without his glasses. One of those earth ponies could've probably snapped him in half and there he was, staring them down and calling them out for the murderers they are.

He'll probably kick them out. Not like we could make them leave, they're a lot stronger than us and we don't have the means to make them do anything. Like pretty much every country, the UK forces are too busy getting ready to hit the bubble. Aliens invaded and we're alone at the edge of the world.

They actually seem apologetic, some of them anyway. They said if he wanted them to leave they would. One of them said they'd destroy all the samples of potion left that they brought with them. That was what ended up making the base commander say he'd need time to think about it, rather than just booting them out right away. Me, I don't know if they're being sincere and I don't care. I don't want to see those goddamn horses again. Not after what they did.

I took it up with Karen, she was Eddy's girlfriend and she feels the same way. We ended up talking over a bottle of whisky and a movie in the rec room. It actually made me feel a bit better for awhile.

Jets, don't you think that's a bit much? Shit like that got innocent civilians blown up in Iraq a decade ago.

That's going to be the big question of the war, isn't it? I mean, jingoistic assholes aside, when we're at war with each other we know our enemies are humans, they're like us. These are aliens, though. We don't know what we're dealing with here.

Point, Pascal. I tend to look at these things this way 'cause I'm a history buff, so I'm just playing to my strengths. All that aside though, remember we're supposed to be the good guys here.

Right, I see where you're coming from, and I'm not saying killing them all is justified. I'm saying it's possible that it'll be justified. Obviously we shouldn't go through with it until we can be sure.

Oh, we will win, Pascal.
We're coming for those pastel bastards >=D
Their princess is getting a nuke right up her ass! Jets' posts may be bad but he has the right idea.

Putting aside the war talk for a minute, Iceman needs our support.
Iceman, I'm so sorry about Eddy. I know it feels like you're all alone down there, but we're with you. If you want to talk to me about anything, I'm just a PM away.

Thanks, Talisman. Don't worry about that comment you left in my "Thoughts on recent events" entry, by the way. None of us could've known what they were going to do to us.
