course we did

[Mm... Dying alone is scary if he thinks about it too long, but at the same time it doesn't feel all that different. He already holds everyone further away than he had to -- he survived alone, he lived alone... He'll die alone. All he can do is put it off as long as possible.]

to be fair you deserve to die old and wrinkly in a bed with sixteen grandkids crawling all over you while the adults weep

[unpocoloco]

Ay, ay, don't make me cry now, saying such wonderful things as that. Sixteen grandkids! That's sixteen hugs every few minutes! And to grow old with my love, even better. We can get greys together and take turns being unable to read what's in front of us. And rocking chairs, we'd need those.

[It'll never happen. Even if something were to be fixed, he can't see it. Maybe he can't let himself hope so far.]

You'd be old too wouldn't you be? First one to go bald loses.

[deuteranope]

excuse the fuck outta you I've got luscious locks you stupid bastard I'm in this for LIFE

[unpocoloco]

Bet you my hair's better.

[It might be. Thanks Arsenic!]

[deuteranope]

fuck off, only cuz you ain't a redhead if that ends up the case

[unpocoloco]

HAH! Well fine, you can win for now with having a cool color, but when you go grey there will be no mercy.

[deuteranope]

ugh why would you want to be a ginger...fucking weirdo

[unpocoloco]

I didn't say I wanted to be, I said the color looked cool. But ay, no, can you imagine how bad that would look on me?

[deuteranope]

what a nightmare
thank god I don't tan when I fucking have to be out in the sun...

[unpocoloco]

Entirely orange. Scarier than any outlands creature.

[deuteranope]

barf

[And then...after he's had some time to get riled up and to calm back on down:] you ever hear of some shit called hamon?

this sounds like updog but it's not I'm legit asking and I hate it

[unpocoloco]

You'd never catch me off gaurd with updog, everyone knows it's the hit new craze.

But no. Can't say I have. Do I get a hint for context?

[deuteranope]

honestly I'm fucking stunned

but nah was just curious
guess it's something like radiance

[unpocoloco]

I do that to people.

Hmm, well. I'm mostly the Outlands and Normal People guy as far as magical knowledge goes, but there's certainly staff who would know more about different kinds of radiance and how it works. If there's something you're looking into, I'm sure there's someone who could help. Heck, even one of the older daemons might know something.

[deuteranope]

wow fuck that
I'll just fucking read about it thanks

[unpocoloco]

[He laughs to himself.]

Hey, I don't know how important it is to you! Maybe you want to toughen up those candle powers, I don't know!

[deuteranope]

mine isn't really something you "toughen up"

[unpocoloco]

Okay, okay, semantics. I meant your radiance not the actual unique ability. Though really, I bet you could do all kinds of cool stuff with that too.

[deuteranope]

that shit skipped me
and yeah fucking of course but that's because I'm so fucking cool and will fucking experiment

[but lol he's not bitter about being told No or anything]

[unpocoloco]

Skipped? Really? I didn't know it could do that. Like, I thought that was what made candles candles. Huh.

Anyway, I stand by what I said. You could do camaflogue. Or highlight paths! Especially if you could make it go far.

[deuteranope]

maybe not skipped but it doesn't fucking work

distance or not I can't just fucking change all colors of everything dude

[unpocoloco]

Oh! That's entirely different.

You can't fault me for not knowing, I've only had one demonstration, you know.

But more to the point, you could probably fix that. I know I just said I'm not an expert on candles, but I've seen cases where powers weren't working as well due to a metaphorical crossing of wires. Like conflicting abilities, blight and radiance together, or just not knowing how to convert personal magic to spellwork or vice versa. You've probably got a block of some kind, something you need to re-root. No big deal. Certainly not permanent.

[deuteranope]

that's great but I ain't fucking blighted or nothing

[unpocoloco]

Ay, I know that! I didn't say you were. It was an example. There's other reasons powers don't work their best. It's a focus thing.

I'm just saying, if you wanted to, it could be something to look into.

[deuteranope]

yeah yeah
I dunno
I'm fine
