Seduced and abandoned
Poor Lime Green Knight! In the beginning he was so happy. He was always eager to talk about Destiny. He tried to be casual about it but you could tell he was looking forward to the next visit from Destiny. Until the contract was signed Destiny was such an ardent suitor, always around with flowers, candy, willing to leap tall buildings and climb high mountains for the Lime Green Knight. Then the contract was signed and Destiny installed. After that, the ardor cooled slightly. Destiny was suddenly too busy with other obligations to do any leaping of even short buildings. Phone calls weren't returned. Questions weren't answered. Lime Green was puzzled and hurt but still hopeful. Then Silver asked those embarrassing questions and the previously ardent suitor yelled, yes, yelled, at Lime Green. Ah, a scapegoat! Silver must be the reason that Destiny has cooled toward Lime Green. Without Silver's interference, Lime Green and Destiny could have ridden hand in hand into the sunset and lived happily ever after. Lime Green, having grown up male instead of female, apparently wasn't raised on "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free." Otherwise, he would have known that if you want handholding in the sunset, you better get it before the money changes hands. Will he be smarter next time?

Are you saying the switch to Destiny was a mistake?
That's what the children in the village are saying. They ask: Why the change? The old way worked. It would talk to us. We could do more than stare at the nothingness on the screen. We could get our work done! The children can see through all the smoke and mirrors.
