  1. (4:08:54 AM) ***arkeUnbound has begun espering abrasiveCaliginist
  2. (4:09:01 AM) arkeUnbound: Hey you'
  3. (4:09:20 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Another comer? And who might you be?
  4. (4:09:44 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm Vera. The forums said you were supposed to be good at fighting, right?
  5. (4:10:02 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Who's been advertising my fighting?
  6. (4:10:09 AM) arkeUnbound: The forums, duh
  7. (4:10:13 AM) arkeUnbound: Pay attention!
  8. (4:10:22 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I meant who specifically
  9. (4:10:29 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Ah, screw it.
  10. (4:10:51 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yeah. I can put a bullet through every joint in your body in less than a second. What of it.
  11. (4:11:14 AM) arkeUnbound: Excellent!
  12. (4:11:28 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm trying to find all the 'experts'
  13. (4:11:41 AM) arkeUnbound: How do I deck someone with a gun?
  14. (4:12:00 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: You don't. You slap the hammer until they stop moving.
  15. (4:12:12 AM) arkeUnbound: Hammers are boring.
  16. (4:12:15 AM) arkeUnbound: I deck people.
  17. (4:12:17 AM) arkeUnbound: In the face!
  18. (4:12:20 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: No, the hammer of the gun.
  19. (4:12:32 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: You shoot them until they die, and then you shoot them some more.
  20. (4:12:38 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm sticking to my guns.
  21. (4:12:45 AM) arkeUnbound: In that I'm not sticking to guns.
  22. (4:13:18 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: And here I thought the others were nuts. Why do I keep indulging all of this madness?
  23. (4:13:41 AM) arkeUnbound: So you're one of those
  24. (4:13:43 AM) arkeUnbound: What's it called
  25. (4:13:45 AM) arkeUnbound: 'gun nuts'
  26. (4:14:06 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I guess. There's only one gun I'm really nuts about, though.
  27. (4:14:37 AM) arkeUnbound: Tell me which one that is then?
  28. (4:14:50 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: My revolver.
  29. (4:15:15 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: It's not mine by right, but it's stayed close to me, regardless.
  30. (4:15:34 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok so
  31. (4:15:43 AM) arkeUnbound: How are you a fighter if someone takes away your gun?
  32. (4:16:06 AM) arkeUnbound: I can always deck people in the face, but it's foolish if you can just stop being a fighter if you don't have your shiny metal stick.
  33. (4:16:22 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: It's not a stick! I... I don't know, okay?
  34. (4:16:38 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm just saying.
  35. (4:16:42 AM) arkeUnbound: Maybe guns are pretty great too.
  36. (4:16:46 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: They tried to teach me, but I guess it didn't stick.
  37. (4:16:59 AM) arkeUnbound: But fighting is all mystical and internal and stuff.
  38. (4:17:05 AM) arkeUnbound: And decking people in the face.
  39. (4:17:08 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Coupla daggers was the weapon I chose for my test. It went phenomenally!
  40. (4:17:23 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: For values of phenomenally approaching "disastrous"
  41. (4:17:33 AM) arkeUnbound: That's the spirit!
  42. (4:17:47 AM) arkeUnbound: Do everything amazing. Even if it's amazingly terrible.
  43. (4:18:14 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: You're killing me, friend.
  44. (4:18:30 AM) arkeUnbound: See? That's how good at fighting I am!
  45. (4:18:55 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: It's gonna be a long night, isn't it?
  46. (4:19:38 AM) arkeUnbound: That's not very nice you know.
  47. (4:19:51 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Well, I'm not a nice fellow.
  48. (4:20:00 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I never pretended to be nice, either.
  49. (4:20:22 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Caliginist is in the name. It's not difficult.
  50. (4:20:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Uh.
  51. (4:20:44 AM) arkeUnbound: You know I didn't think about that.
  52. (4:20:46 AM) arkeUnbound: That's fair.
  53. (4:20:50 AM) arkeUnbound: You win this round!
  54. (4:21:08 AM) arkeUnbound: I'll get you next time though
  55. (4:21:46 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: ((Un moment, si vous plait))
  56. (4:22:28 AM) arkeUnbound: (Okies. I'm still trying to find a speech style for her really. I know it's rough >_<)
  57. (4:23:16 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: ((Alright back))
  58. (4:23:42 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Are you another one of those humans?
  59. (4:23:50 AM) arkeUnbound: Nope.
  60. (4:23:55 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm not another one of anything.
  61. (4:24:09 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm Vera. The one and only me!
  62. (4:24:17 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Liar. You don't know what kismessitude is. You're human.
  63. (4:25:32 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm not lying. I'm just not accepting your truth.
  64. (4:25:37 AM) arkeUnbound: Like with guns.
  65. (4:26:19 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Stop toying with me. All it takes is a single click and I can turn on the viewport and find out.
  66. (4:26:29 AM) arkeUnbound: Yeah.
  67. (4:26:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Wait what?
  68. (4:26:33 AM) arkeUnbound: That's creepy.
  69. (4:26:43 AM) arkeUnbound: Quit being creepy, who does that?
  70. (4:26:53 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yeah, well, if it weren't for one of your fellow humans, I would have it on already.
  71. (4:27:00 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: So, count your lucky stars.
  72. (4:27:30 AM) arkeUnbound: So tell me what they did.
  73. (4:27:37 AM) arkeUnbound: To make you stop being a creeper?
  74. (4:27:42 AM) arkeUnbound: I'll do that too.
  75. (4:28:04 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I don't want to talk about it. It's embarrassing.
  76. (4:28:33 AM) arkeUnbound: Aha. Lost a fight I bet.
  77. (4:28:52 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: No. I just.
  78. (4:29:01 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: She made me wax red, alright?
  79. (4:29:24 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I said it, and shall not say it again.
  80. (4:29:32 AM) arkeUnbound: Uh what
  81. (4:29:42 AM) arkeUnbound: She made you a candle?
  82. (4:29:52 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Never mind. It was foolish and impulsive to share even that much.
  83. (4:30:56 AM) arkeUnbound: Whatever!
  84. (4:31:01 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm trying to learn about candles.
  85. (4:31:05 AM) arkeUnbound: Not candles.
  86. (4:31:08 AM) arkeUnbound: Not trying to learn about candles.
  87. (4:31:10 AM) arkeUnbound: Fighting.
  88. (4:31:12 AM) arkeUnbound: Guh.
  89. (4:31:18 AM) arkeUnbound: So what about guns?
  90. (4:31:32 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: What in blazes are you going on about?! Is this some sort of word vomit?!
  91. (4:32:09 AM) arkeUnbound: I am trying to learn about fighting gosh darn it!
  92. (4:32:29 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Where did you get candles in that?!
  93. (4:32:30 AM) arkeUnbound: How am I supposed to get good if no one takes me seriously?
  94. (4:32:34 AM) arkeUnbound: Like.
  95. (4:32:35 AM) arkeUnbound: Wax.
  96. (4:32:47 AM) arkeUnbound: Red candles. Wax.
  97. (4:32:49 AM) arkeUnbound: All that.
  98. (4:32:54 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Oh. I guess I can explain that a little.
  99. (4:33:14 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: When something waxes, it grows a bit, right? Like a waxing moon. It gets brighter.
  100. (4:33:21 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Get it?
  101. (4:33:56 AM) arkeUnbound: So you got redder?
  102. (4:34:09 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Kind of.
  103. (4:34:18 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: It's a figure of speech.
  104. (4:34:47 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: But my blood is blue. I don't blush red or burgundy.
  105. (4:35:29 AM) arkeUnbound: Um.
  106. (4:35:49 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok?
  107. (4:35:54 AM) arkeUnbound: This is still weird.
  108. (4:36:11 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I didn't expect a human to understand.
  109. (4:36:55 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Now. About combat. Being good is only half of it.
  110. (4:37:02 AM) arkeUnbound: No no.
  111. (4:37:04 AM) arkeUnbound: Wait a moment.
  112. (4:37:18 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: What is it?
  113. (4:37:19 AM) arkeUnbound: You can't just do that.
  114. (4:37:38 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Do what?
  115. (4:37:38 AM) arkeUnbound: That's really rude.
  116. (4:37:46 AM) arkeUnbound: Just dropping something and saying I won't understand.
  117. (4:38:05 AM) arkeUnbound: You didn't even try to explain damn it
  118. (4:38:30 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: A judgment of rudeness coming from the person who wants to punch people and shoot them! That's rich!
  119. (4:38:37 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Alright, tell you what:
  120. (4:38:49 AM) arkeUnbound: Yeah, that's how low you've gone!
  121. (4:39:04 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I'll answer a few questions if it will stem the flow of your salty tears. That make you feel better?
  122. (4:39:18 AM) arkeUnbound: Guh, fine.
  123. (4:39:20 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm just saying.
  124. (4:39:26 AM) arkeUnbound: I could talk about stuff you wouldn't understand either.
  125. (4:39:34 AM) arkeUnbound: And act all Snooty about it too.
  126. (4:39:47 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: You want me to answer questions, or not?
  127. (4:40:04 AM) arkeUnbound: Yeah I do.
  128. (4:40:06 AM) arkeUnbound: Thanks.
  129. (4:40:14 AM) arkeUnbound: (See, that's how you do polite)
  130. (4:40:43 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Whatever you say, cully.
  131. (4:40:57 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Now ask your questions, and be quick about it.
  132. (4:41:18 AM) arkeUnbound: So you said blushing.
  133. (4:41:27 AM) arkeUnbound: Did you get a crush on someone online or something?
  134. (4:41:53 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Urgh. Can I pass on this one? I don't want to talk about my flushcrushes.
  135. (4:42:09 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Well, my flushcrush, singular.
  136. (4:42:16 AM) arkeUnbound: Hah. That's a yes. Free question. One point for Vera!
  137. (4:42:23 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm beating you at questions already.
  138. (4:42:34 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok, so. How do you shoot someone?
  139. (4:43:17 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Drat! And that's a broad question, Vera.
  140. (4:43:34 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Can you be more specific?
  141. (4:43:48 AM) arkeUnbound: Um.
  142. (4:43:49 AM) arkeUnbound: Sure.
  143. (4:43:56 AM) arkeUnbound: So someone is standing in front of you.
  144. (4:44:00 AM) arkeUnbound: Big jerk.
  145. (4:44:12 AM) arkeUnbound: And is getting ready to charge you.
  146. (4:44:15 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yeah, sure. Justify murder however you like.
  147. (4:44:32 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: If you wanna know that portion? I shoot without thinking about it.
  148. (4:44:37 AM) arkeUnbound: Wow it's just a question.
  149. (4:44:37 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I kill with my heart.
  150. (4:45:06 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: All that matters is that the poor sucker lies dead or dying when it's over, and that I remain alive.
  151. (4:45:28 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: His life was forfeit when he decided it was a good idea to attack me.
  152. (4:45:45 AM) arkeUnbound: Now who is justifying murder?
  153. (4:45:49 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Murder is murder. No one will blink for his loss.
  154. (4:46:11 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Like I said: justify it however you like.
  155. (4:46:59 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Next question.
  156. (4:47:11 AM) arkeUnbound: That really wasn't useful fighting advice.
  157. (4:47:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Do you have any useful fighting tips?
  158. (4:47:31 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: What? Point and shoot? What more do you want to know?
  159. (4:47:39 AM) arkeUnbound: Come on!
  160. (4:47:42 AM) arkeUnbound: There is aiming!
  161. (4:47:45 AM) arkeUnbound: Holding your breath.
  162. (4:47:49 AM) arkeUnbound: Considering the moment!
  163. (4:47:54 AM) arkeUnbound: Stuff.
  164. (4:47:55 AM) arkeUnbound: Things.
  165. (4:48:08 AM) arkeUnbound: You're the expert.
  166. (4:48:28 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Ugh. You don't hold your breath in a quickdraw duel. You pull your weapon and empty the cylinder. Preferably, you hit him with at least half of the bullets you shoot.
  167. (4:48:52 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Do you use a revolver?
  168. (4:49:05 AM) arkeUnbound: I don't even have a gun
  169. (4:50:00 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: All that big talk about shooting people, and you don't even own a firearm? Why, I do declare!
  170. (4:50:12 AM) arkeUnbound: I never talked about shooting people!
  171. (4:50:15 AM) arkeUnbound: That was you!
  172. (4:50:23 AM) arkeUnbound: Aaaagh you're terrible.
  173. (4:50:58 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Ach. Whatever. Probably the blood loss talking. I was careless.
  174. (4:51:05 AM) arkeUnbound: I am trying to learn abou
  175. (4:51:08 AM) arkeUnbound: Blood loss?
  176. (4:51:23 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yes. Blood loss. Let's not dwell on it.
  177. (4:51:34 AM) arkeUnbound: Why do you keep dropping things?
  178. (4:51:54 AM) arkeUnbound: How are you even a fighter? You need to take things head on.
  179. (4:52:00 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Because they're embarrassing and I don't want to talk about them. I shouldn't keep mentioning them.
  180. (4:52:11 AM) arkeUnbound: I think you do want to talk about it.
  181. (4:52:22 AM) arkeUnbound: What do you care anyway? I'm a random internet person you don't even like.
  182. (4:52:23 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: How do you figure that?
  183. (4:52:32 AM) arkeUnbound: Because you keep bringing it up.
  184. (4:52:34 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: ...
  185. (4:52:45 AM) arkeUnbound: You want me to make you talk.
  186. (4:52:47 AM) arkeUnbound: So here, I am.
  187. (4:52:49 AM) arkeUnbound: Talk.
  188. (4:53:18 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Now you're the rude one. I didn't hear a "please" in that sentence.
  189. (4:53:41 AM) arkeUnbound: Well yeah. Because I'm making you talk, not asking.
  190. (4:53:49 AM) arkeUnbound: Duh. That's how browbeating works.
  191. (4:54:04 AM) arkeUnbound: It would be rude to say please. Because it's the wrong way.
  192. (4:54:13 AM) arkeUnbound: Like holding a gun upside down when you shoot.
  193. (4:54:16 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: And what if I don't? Will you beat it out of me from light years away?
  194. (4:54:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Yes!
  195. (4:54:33 AM) arkeUnbound: Metaphorically.
  196. (4:54:35 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: And what in god's name is that logic?!
  197. (4:54:42 AM) arkeUnbound: Amazing.
  198. (4:54:52 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Manners is being rude in this scenario?!
  199. (4:54:52 AM) arkeUnbound: You're welcome for being convinced :D
  200. (4:54:56 AM) arkeUnbound: Yes!
  201. (4:54:59 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: What sort of bizarro world do you live in?!
  202. (4:55:18 AM) arkeUnbound: Would you shoot a gun upside down?
  203. (4:55:36 AM) arkeUnbound: Would you try to force someone to talk by saying please?
  204. (4:55:37 AM) arkeUnbound: See./
  205. (4:55:40 AM) arkeUnbound: It doesn't work.
  206. (4:56:46 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: You are so weird, and that's coming from a violent killer.
  207. (4:56:49 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Alright.
  208. (4:56:53 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Let's sing a song.
  209. (4:57:11 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: And through your rapt attention, you will dance.
  210. (4:57:24 AM) arkeUnbound: I think you're running away again.
  211. (4:57:27 AM) arkeUnbound: But sure lets try that.
  212. (4:57:34 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: When I was terribly young, I left my hive and my lusus.
  213. (4:57:54 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I sought the grubslingers. I wished for training.
  214. (4:58:12 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: And so train me they did.
  215. (4:58:29 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: We leaned survival, history, and most importantly: marksmanship with revolvers
  216. (4:58:56 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: But when the time came to take my final exam, to best my master in combat with a different weapon of my choosing, I failed.
  217. (4:59:13 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I was to be exiled into the desert, unarmed and alone.
  218. (4:59:27 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I didn't like that idea. So I killed my master in his sleep and took his gun.
  219. (4:59:43 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I have been on the run ever since, slaughtering my pursuers by the dozen.
  220. (5:00:44 AM) arkeUnbound: That
  221. (5:00:49 AM) arkeUnbound: is pretty cool.
  222. (5:00:50 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: They come, bold and foolish. They die, cowering in the water like dumb animals.
  223. (5:01:15 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: What?! How is that cool?!
  224. (5:01:28 AM) arkeUnbound: You're rebelling against jerks.
  225. (5:01:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Fighting!
  226. (5:01:36 AM) arkeUnbound: That's the first cool thing you've said.
  227. (5:01:58 AM) arkeUnbound: That's a good thing!
  228. (5:02:13 AM) arkeUnbound: Fail a test get sent to the desert to die? They're assholes.
  229. (5:02:15 AM) arkeUnbound: Pardon my french.
  230. (5:03:00 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Hm. French brings me to the next story, I suppose, but I'm still reluctant to tell it.
  231. (5:03:10 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: It's embarrassing. Pathetic.
  232. (5:03:16 AM) arkeUnbound: So what?
  233. (5:03:44 AM) arkeUnbound: What's really pathetic is being embarassed about just a story.
  234. (5:03:46 AM) arkeUnbound: Come oooon.
  235. (5:03:56 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: There's.... A girl, alright?
  236. (5:04:10 AM) arkeUnbound: Awww. Ok sure.
  237. (5:04:44 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: She's... I dunno. I flushed for her pretty hard, but she's a human, sooooo...
  238. (5:05:03 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Constant banter. Clever, if a little grating at times.
  239. (5:05:54 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok! That's good.
  240. (5:06:02 AM) arkeUnbound: That's how it should be.
  241. (5:06:09 AM) arkeUnbound: You should be challenged! Otherwise it's boring.
  242. (5:06:13 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: But I persist, much like the clowns who think they have a snowball's chance in hell of killing Harken Sirius, the Devil of the Wastes.
  243. (5:06:30 AM) arkeUnbound: What's wrong with that?
  244. (5:07:02 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I don't know.
  245. (5:07:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Sounds like you're being lame again.
  246. (5:07:42 AM) arkeUnbound: Not going for it and giving up is lame.
  247. (5:07:55 AM) arkeUnbound: Nothing wrong with -fighting-!
  248. (5:08:13 AM) arkeUnbound: Fight for your girl.
  249. (5:08:43 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I guess. My problem is that I don't know when to stop. I keep having terrible dreams where I just constantly kill people until they finally cut me down. I wake up before they can administer the coup de grace.
  250. (5:09:20 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: It gives me a headache. They keep moaning, like the damned would.
  251. (5:10:03 AM) arkeUnbound: I'm not sure how you got to the dream.
  252. (5:10:05 AM) arkeUnbound: But sure.
  253. (5:10:24 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: You mentioned fighting.
  254. (5:10:36 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I responded that I can't stop fighting.
  255. (5:10:50 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Argh! Why do I keep sharing this awful stuff with strangers?!
  256. (5:11:16 AM) arkeUnbound: I think it's because you're a bit of a weird guy.
  257. (5:11:27 AM) arkeUnbound: Even for a non human bug thingy.
  258. (5:11:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Or whatever you are.
  259. (5:12:11 AM) arkeUnbound: Or maybe you just need to vent to feel better?
  260. (5:12:33 AM) arkeUnbound: Yeah, that's better.
  261. (5:13:18 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Is there anything else you want to know?
  262. (5:13:47 AM) arkeUnbound: So you're in the desert and people keep trying to kill you, right?
  263. (5:14:01 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Well, not the desert.
  264. (5:14:12 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I found some ruins to hide out in.
  265. (5:14:20 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: More came to challenge me.
  266. (5:14:45 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Ordinarily, I burn Grubslinger corpses with their revolvers, following customs as a gesture of respect.
  267. (5:14:52 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok so it's like a fighting honor thing?
  268. (5:14:56 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: But they keep coming, and I'm fed up with it.
  269. (5:15:06 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: So I strung their corpses up outside the gates.
  270. (5:15:13 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I wanted it to be a warning.
  271. (5:15:36 AM) arkeUnbound: Yeah no.
  272. (5:15:44 AM) arkeUnbound: See, that makes them want to beat you more.
  273. (5:15:48 AM) arkeUnbound: It's like a challenge.
  274. (5:16:05 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Well they can do it in pants-shitting terror, for all I care.
  275. (5:16:19 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Their path ends in the same clearing. They can meet their friends there.
  276. (5:17:04 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Forgive me: it's untoward for me to profane my speech.
  277. (5:17:38 AM) arkeUnbound: So wait.
  278. (5:17:45 AM) arkeUnbound: Do you want to keep killing these people or not?
  279. (5:18:05 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: No. But who am I to deny a moron with a death wish?
  280. (5:18:22 AM) arkeUnbound: Well sure, and that's cool.
  281. (5:18:34 AM) arkeUnbound: But you shouldn't let people force you to do anything you don't want to do!
  282. (5:18:59 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yes, but giving up and dying is something I want to do less.
  283. (5:19:05 AM) arkeUnbound: Duh.
  284. (5:19:22 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: So they make their choice, and I make my choice, and that's not dying, for my part.
  285. (5:19:40 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Let God sort them out, I say.
  286. (5:20:13 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok see, pretty stupid people, sure.
  287. (5:20:32 AM) arkeUnbound: But if you don't want to do it, you could leave.
  288. (5:20:37 AM) arkeUnbound: If you're so good they'd never find you.
  289. (5:20:55 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Maybe.
  290. (5:21:34 AM) arkeUnbound: You keep letting people force you into things you don't want to do.
  291. (5:21:42 AM) arkeUnbound: Like me, I made you talk about all sorts of things.
  292. (5:21:49 AM) arkeUnbound: I mean really.
  293. (5:22:04 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Yeah, but on another, I kind of do. You sort of hit it on the head, right?
  294. (5:22:04 AM) arkeUnbound: ;)
  295. (5:22:18 AM) arkeUnbound: Yeah, that's true.
  296. (5:22:30 AM) arkeUnbound: Just making a point!
  297. (5:23:20 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: But I guess I have to factor in what Lexi would think.
  298. (5:23:32 AM) arkeUnbound: Is that the girl?
  299. (5:23:48 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: "Damn." (Spoken aloud. Not typed)
  300. (5:23:52 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: ...yeah.
  301. (5:24:50 AM) arkeUnbound: Hah. Got it first try.
  302. (5:24:53 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: ((Give me five minutes))
  303. (5:24:56 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok so what would she think?
  304. (5:33:09 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Well,
  305. (5:33:28 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I think we've talked about it. I can't tell if she's skeptical or if it unnerves her.
  306. (5:34:25 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I guess... I guess she's worth trying harder, though.
  307. (5:35:02 AM) arkeUnbound: I mean I belive you. Even if you're all weird about it.
  308. (5:35:32 AM) arkeUnbound: But you started out on a good path!
  309. (5:35:33 AM) arkeUnbound: Mostly.
  310. (5:35:43 AM) arkeUnbound: Maybe just ease up on looking for people to kill.
  311. (5:35:52 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I'm just an angry highblood with a chip on his shoulder, I reckon.
  312. (5:36:02 AM) arkeUnbound: It's like with the talking.
  313. (5:36:09 AM) arkeUnbound: You kind of want to do it.
  314. (5:36:15 AM) arkeUnbound: Otherwise it wouldn't be happening.
  315. (5:36:33 AM) arkeUnbound: So just find other things to want?
  316. (5:40:53 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Like what?
  317. (5:41:43 AM) arkeUnbound: Well what other things do you like to do?
  318. (5:43:17 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I don't actually know, upon reflection.
  319. (5:43:28 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I've been on the run so long...
  320. (5:44:16 AM) arkeUnbound: Ok. So how about you find something you like doing.
  321. (5:44:33 AM) arkeUnbound: That's something to look for.
  322. (5:44:39 AM) arkeUnbound: Ask the girl you like for her interests.
  323. (5:44:53 AM) arkeUnbound: And in the meantime, have fun with your guns. Instead of killing people, just
  324. (5:44:55 AM) arkeUnbound: Ooh!
  325. (5:45:02 AM) arkeUnbound: Shoot them in the legs and run them off.
  326. (5:45:05 AM) arkeUnbound: That would be so cool.
  327. (5:45:18 AM) arkeUnbound: Show them how good you are by -not- killing them.
  328. (5:46:49 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I suppose I can try. They'll have to deal with it. I think... I think they've started sending neophytes. People who have no business carrying firearms.
  329. (5:46:55 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: They're getting desperate.
  330. (5:47:24 AM) arkeUnbound: Best not to hurt them then.
  331. (5:47:34 AM) arkeUnbound: I think the challenge is the whole point.
  332. (5:47:43 AM) arkeUnbound: If it's not a challenge, what have you really accomplished.
  333. (5:48:00 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: They sent Eldred the other day. Boy's hardly six sweeps old.
  334. (5:48:39 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Ah, damn. And I didn't even think.
  335. (5:49:44 AM) arkeUnbound: Well darn.
  336. (5:50:54 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I'll remember them, though.
  337. (5:51:10 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: If you kill people, you should remember them.
  338. (5:53:03 AM) arkeUnbound: Better than killing them and not remembering them.
  339. (5:53:21 AM) arkeUnbound: It's really weird meeting a real life gritty wilderness rebel.
  340. (5:53:21 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I'm gonna go.
  341. (5:53:28 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Wait, what?
  342. (5:53:36 AM) arkeUnbound: What?
  343. (5:53:44 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: It's not that romantic, I think.
  344. (5:53:52 AM) arkeUnbound: Sure it is!
  345. (5:53:57 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: You try emptying your bowels behind a bush, then.
  346. (5:53:59 AM) arkeUnbound: It's in all the movies.
  347. (5:54:26 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: They don't show THAT in the movies?
  348. (5:54:44 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: ((Fucking typos. That question mark is supposed to be a period))
  349. (5:55:01 AM) arkeUnbound: Actually they do sometimes.
  350. (5:55:17 AM) arkeUnbound: You need to watch more movies.
  351. (5:55:38 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Maybe I will, someday.
  352. (5:55:49 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Anyway, I'm gonna go.
  353. (5:55:59 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: I ought to talk to her again.
  354. (5:56:39 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: Before this headache gets any worse.
  355. (5:57:01 AM) arkeUnbound: Have fun.
  356. (5:57:03 AM) arkeUnbound: Loverboy.
  357. (5:57:11 AM) arkeUnbound: Eheheh.
  358. (5:57:16 AM) abrasiveCaliginist: ARGH!
  359. (5:57:32 AM) arkeUnbound: :D
  360. (5:57:36 AM) arkeUnbound: Later!
