I’d like to take a moment to clarify some misconceptions and ignorance regarding me and the Light. There seems to be a lot of garbage on this point.

It is not the case that I particularly enjoy calling Servants of the Light, nor do I have them on speed dial, nor are they necessarily going to choose to appear each time I may call.

I am accountable to the Servants of the Light when I call them. If I have wasted their time, I  don’t expect that things will go very well for me.

When I do call them they may do a variety of things according to their own view of the matter and judgement. Predicting that as a human is not really a reliable activity. The Servants themselves do not necessarily take an interest in every person with a soul stain. As I’ve mentioned Servants of the Light don’t kill every demon they meet…just the evil ones. I don’t kill or banish every demon I meet…just the ones trying to eat me or my neighbors or invade my world as a parasite. I feel that’s fair really.

IF I have called on the Light you can rest assured it is because:

1. I am hip deep in Servants of the Dark
2. There is an artifact or substance of elemental evil to be dealt with
3. Someone around me is in serious need of more healing than I can manage
4. Someone around me has done something incredibly daft that may result in the contamination of numerous individuals with evil.

As far as special healing and removing darkness from someone…

1. This is not fun, it is about as much fun as repairing an active sewer line.
2. It is exhausting.
3. It is not glamorous.
4. I generally do it only upon request of someone able to give consent…and even then only on people who are not likely to go right back out and get themselves screwed up with the same dumb choices that got their souls smutty to begin with.

For those of you going about saying…oooh I’ll not go near Gudrun because I might get smited…get a grip.

For those of you more afraid of the Light than you are of the Dark, I feel sorry for you.

For those of you who are so afraid of the Light you would rather cling to the Dark, you may want to rethink your priorities.

For those of you who are waxing long and loudly on the terrible things the Servants of the Light do and are not taking responsibility for your own choices to do crappy things, or are ignoring the stuff people you are referring to did in order to earn their particular smitings….cut it out.

Meanwhile, if you want to be paranoid about me go ahead, but you know what I don’t think I have enough personal ability to make up for the pace of the bad decisions some of you are making. If I did, it would be a long term career just trying to keep up.

So please don’t accuse me of trying to turn you into something you don’t want to be or do. If I offer you help, take it or leave it; but please don’t play stupid games with me trying to figure out how evil you can be or think you are and still be around me.
