do you ever want to stockpile your own blood over the course of a few years and then just go around and start spreading it everywhere before mysteriously disappearing, leaving suspicious amounts of blood throughout the city and turning your whole town into a crime scene which no one can adequately explain outside of somehow being simultaneously murdered at like eight mcdonalds????

or is that just me?

ok and

[stavros]

And? Really?

[escardos]

??? what do you want me to say?

[stavros]

Why on earth do you continue to do these things? I realize I may not be the best one to be asking anybody to stop being weird, but I am at least trying not to hurt anyone.

[escardos]

i haven't hurt anyone, though? it'd be my blood i'd be storing. not anyone else's!

[stavros]

Specifically for the purpose of disturbing or upsetting everyone else. Besides, everyone says you always try to escape your Seer duties, too.

[escardos]

that's not hurting anyone? and neither is the second one????????

?????????????????????????????????????

[stavros]

If I ran away from the duties I was born for, it would only invite ruin. The last person in my family who tried that ended up cursing us for a hundred years. Let us not.

[escardos]

[ it takes a while for flat to answer to this text. an unusual amount of time, actually, considering how quickly he has answered before. it's almost ten minutes before they answer again. ]

Oh?

Do you believe that I have cursed my family?

Brought them to ruin?

Haha.

[stavros]

What? No, I didn't say that. I don't know anything about your family or its circumstances, and I doubt they resemble mine. All I said was that you were being reckless.

[escardos]

Of course you do not know anything.

Humans don't know anything.

You're born ignorant of the world around you and go through life the same way, all the way until your death. It's rather pathetic, actually, how meaningless your lives are.

But don't worry. Even your mindless statement has some truth to it, though you are not aware of it. An applause to you!

[stavros]

Is this another prank? If I've upset you, I apologize for that, but I will not relent on the remainder. No one's life is pathetic or meaningless. That is why we fight here.

But seriously, are you possessed?

[escardos]

I am not upset.

Or possessed.

But you wouldn’t understand.

That’s fine. It’s not your time.

[stavros]

...to comprehend you?

If you refuse to explain what you mean then how do you expect people to understand?

[ She has no patience for people being ominous and cryptic. ]

[escardos]

It’s pointless.

Waste of energy.

[silksoul]

In that case you might as well not say anything at all.

There's little point saying people don't understand if you give them no tools to.

[escardos]

Humans have all the tools at their disposal. If they do not wish to use it, that is not my fault.

[silksoul]

You speak in circles with no clear end and only of humans as well.

Your grudge must be pronounced if you punish strangers for a misstep they do not know they make.

[ She feels...pity, in a way. It reminds her of the past, and that raging, seething light, how it turned everything it touched into repeating, sleepwalking ghosts of themselves. A kingdom still bound by old sins and old mistakes.

(It reminds her of half-siblings with bone-white masks, trapped in orders given long ago.) ]

Aaaaaalright, I think this is about time that disengaging would be wiser...

For both of you.

[stavros]

I'm trying! I know not what I did, but...

[buddinghopes]

I'd assume accidentally pressed a button that was better left alone.

[stavros]

I don't even know anything about his family. But I tried to apologize, because I'm sure that would have been nice any time somebody went and told me that I was too complacent with fate and should burn it all down or something dangerous like that, because that has happened quite a few times! And he... well, did that.

I hope he's all right.

[buddinghopes]

I hope he's alright too...
