PRIVATE MEETINGS

[andexecutioner]

If you'd like to have a private meeting with the Adjudicator, this is where you should go! The Adjudicator is available at almost all hours of the day; just knock and he'll answer.

Comments are screened for privacy; no eavesdropping, that's rude.

Comments

[seventhprogenitor]

[How curt. But he's not bothered; he plays with the cat toy as if he hadn't just been rejected, making it paw at the air.]

You don't have to have favorites, my darling dear, I'd never ask that of you! Instead, I rather liked how things played out today and I'd be interested in seeing what I can do to keep this place lively in exchange. Nothing comes free, after all~.

[andexecutioner]

[...]

If you want to keep messing around with them, you can. I'm not going to stop you, because I'm not really interested in stopping you.

It tells me a lot about people, actually.

[seventhprogenitor]

Oh, does it now?

[Like, having permission is nice, but chances are he was going to find some way to liven things up again anyway. Maybe Juri'll give him some things towards that if he asks...]

And what have you gathered about our lovely group thus far?

[andexecutioner]

A lot of things that I can't tell you about.

[There isn't anything condescending or pointed behind it, though; just kind of the way things are.]

[seventhprogenitor]

Is it against whatever rules you have to follow yourself?

[andexecutioner]

It's against the part where I'm not going to help you guys with the game one way or another.

[seventhprogenitor]

Awww, I'm only curious about what you think of us~! You won't tell me even one thing? I don't see how it could possibly help us, after all, and that would imply I'd even care enough about a group of humans to pass along the message.

[andexecutioner]

You'll understand eventually.

[Anyway.]

I stand by what I've said so far, though, you guys are interesting people. Some more than others.

[seventhprogenitor]

[At least Ferid's becoming aware of how people might feel talking to him. Is he going the change? Not a bit.]

Who's the most boring of the bunch?

[Gossip with him, dammit.]

[andexecutioner]

Katniss, probably.

[...juri please.]

[seventhprogenitor]

[woooow]

Really? I think she's a little firecracker myself~. Did she do something to offend you, or is it just her surly attitude?

[andexecutioner]

She's self-centered in a lot of ways I don't like in people.

[seventhprogenitor]

Very... "but what about me," isn't she. If there was ever someone to dislike, you'd think it'd be her, but I think she's rather admired for the dedication she shows towards her sister. It seems she'd do anything for sweet Prim.

[Or would've. With their dreams being a thing, who knows what she's seen.]

I'm only a little fond of her because she reminds me of a charge, but children can be so bratty, can't they?

[andexecutioner]

I avoid dealing with them when I can, usually. Most of the ones I've handled have been like the ones here - older, and they've seen some shit.

[The swear is sudden, perhaps unexpected given that Juri usually doesn't; at the same time, there's not much of a way to word that otherwise. Sure, you can try to make it more polite, but there isn't much point in that when we're talking about human sacrifices and child soldiers and all that.]

[seventhprogenitor]

[There is so not a way to say it otherwise, but he still laughs at the word choice.]

I'm not surprised to hear you don't like them, though they're the lights of my life~! As long as they're behaving as good children should.

[And there's a certain edge to that, but it fades with his next words.]

And who, Adjudicutie, is the most interesting you've talked to~?

[andexecutioner]

There are a few people who fit that criteria, for different reasons.

[seventhprogenitor]

[Is one him.

Oh, why wouldn't it be, another's probably Aligula!]

What sort of reasons?

[andexecutioner]

[Wouldn't you like to know.]

Some have ways of seeing the world that I can appreciate for whatever reason. Some are kind of like me.

Some are completely different in ways that interest me. I don't know how to describe it.

[seventhprogenitor]

I can understand the sentiment. When you say like you, though, are you referring to how... easy-going you are?

[Haha, easy-going. More like uncaring.]

[andexecutioner]

That's part of it.

[seventhprogenitor]

Is the other part how you take care of culprits?

[Who else can steal souls. Who.]

[andexecutioner]

...What? No.

[dude.]

The other part really isn't anything that's going to matter in the long run. At least not to any of you.

[seventhprogenitor]

Who would it matter to, in the long run?

[andexecutioner]

Me.

[seventhprogenitor]

[Why would he have expected any different at this point, really.]

It's a better answer than I thought I would get, and yet it's still something of a disappointment.
