Takes credit anyway!!

[riastraid]

oh. i can see how that could get confusing.

[ Sarcasm is hard in mindspam, who knew. Lancer doesn't elaborate, though for different motives. Chief among them that he doesn't feel like distracting—this guy will clearly take tangents where provided. ]

no, not george either. but that's getting warmer.

[hellshaped]

So some kind of saint is what you're getting at.

[riastraid]

yep. figured it out yet, or are we going to keep talking in circles all night?

[hellshaped]

Are we talking in circles? [Guess.]

[riastraid]

[ It's in Lancer's nature to poke and prod more than might be completely wise, but he's not typically out to make enemies. He's danced the line enough today. ]

all right, all right... i get it. it's nothing to be embarrassed about, though.

[hellshaped]

I'm sure you have some idea of what I look like. [He means he looks like a demon. There are some people here who obviously don't make the connection, but Lancer has enough knowledge of Earth mythology that he's willing to bet it's very obvious for him.] I don't really need to add to the weirdness. I've got enough as it is.

[riastraid]

[ You don't exactly need to be a demonologist to recognize the obvious, here. ]

acting all cagey about it's just going to make it worse. besides——some people would consider that kinda blood to be a sign of greatness.

[ He knows that much firsthand. ]

[hellshaped]

[LOOK some people just think he is big and red and he is not about to tell them otherwise. let a man dream.]

Some people. Others might see it as a burden they never asked for.

[riastraid]

[ dreaming: code word for living in aggressive denial ]

really? anyone regretting their birthright is pretty stupid. it's not like any of us can control that.

[hellshaped]

No, and that's the problem. People aren't pawns. They have free will. "Birthright" shouldn't mean anything at all.

[riastraid]

yeah, sure. choose your own destiny and all that.

i'm just saying——you're born with the blood you've got. why struggle with it?

[ Free will is real until it comes to the past. There's no changing what's already happened, no input on the matter of bloodlines and family trees. It is what it is. Weirdos are weirdos. ]

[hellshaped]

Because sometimes someone is born into something they don't want any part with.

[riastraid]

so what are you supposed to do instead, ignore it?

[hellshaped]

Sure. Why not?

1/2

[riastraid]

because you can't fight anything by running away from it.

[riastraid]

[ ... ]


ahhh, whoops. i'm making this conversation pretty boring, huh? maybe we should just get back to stories. if you've got more fairy tales, i've got coin for drinks.

[hellshaped]

[......]

That sounds more my speed.
