Comments

[andexecutioner]

[...Well, whatever he was expecting, it definitely wasn't that.]

Why would you think that?

[It seems more curious than offended, at least.]

[seventhprogenitor]

It occurred to me recently. After all, clinically speaking I'm dead, and you did say that you and I were similar~.

[So he's narrowing down how similar that is, though he knows they're at least cut from the same cloth in some regards.]

[andexecutioner]

Sorry to get your hopes up, then - I'm not dead.

[seventhprogenitor]

You're just very weird.

[.......]

Would you mind if I have a bite sometime? For curiosity's sake. It won't do anything to you, unlike in so many other tales, I promise~.

[andexecutioner]

[...]

Maybe someday I'll allow it. Why not.

[Seriously?]

[seventhprogenitor]

Your graciousness knows no bounds, my ever-wonderful host~! Really, if only the others would see your kindness for what it is. A life or two is a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things, isn't it? So long as it isn't your own life anyway.

[Sacrificial people are so easy to use, which is why Ferid isn't one.]

I pity people who see themselves as worthless like that, because they're worth oh-so-much if played right. Nevertheless, they serve as an important part of society: the example.

[... this is such a weird conversation to be playing an accordion to]

[andexecutioner]

It's really stupid, isn't it? Self-sacrifice, I mean.

[No, really. It's fucking dumb.]

It's not like a lot of people aren't actually worthless in the end, though; maybe those people are just more aware of it.

[...nice people. saying wonderful things.]

[seventhprogenitor]

[It's the stupidest and Fern deserved that gut wound.]

It isn't even like the reactions are all that surprising when it happens, either, though they always have a following of people who stand up or cry for them. Humans adore things like that.

[They're huge suckers for it.]

Even fiction paints them in such a sympathetic light. I'm not sure if it's endearing that they think themselves such martyrs. What would they do if no one mourned their death?

[andexecutioner]

I don't think it matters to some of them, actually. Whether they're mourned or not.

I don't understand it when that's the case, though; it makes the whole thing seem pointless to me. Dying without a reason for something that doesn't matter...if it's what people want to do then that's their prerogative, I guess, but it's...

[...Kind of bothering him, weirdly. Huh.]

[seventhprogenitor]

Nothing you nor I could imagine or understand in the first place. Not that I really think it would, seeing as you don't particularly care, but does it bother you?

[andexecutioner]

No, it's...

[mnnnngh how do you put this in words]

I've run a lot of games, I've seen a lot of self-sacrificing people. I think I'm missing something, though, about that.

[He shakes his head eventually; fuck it, man.]

Don't worry about it, it can't be that important; it'll come back to me eventually if it is. One of those things.

[seventhprogenitor]

[Maybe you're secretly one of them too, Juri.]

I'll look forward to the answer, then, if it is important. Besides Fern, who we know would throw herself in front of a knife without hesitation to save someone not ten years younger than her, who do you think is most likely to off themselves for others?

[andexecutioner]

Katniss, definitely. Angel. Aymeric maybe. Isaac could be manipulated into it if it was for that guy he cares so much about.

The rest of you...probably not. Fern notwithstanding.

[seventhprogenitor]

Isaac's in such constant denial of that man, it's honestly one of the seven wonders of the world~. Have you ever heard him talk? And then he backtracks when you imply this or that~. It's fun!

[And somehow he's in Isaac's like, top friends group despite it, because Isaac has fucking poor taste.]

But I wouldn't doubt it either, with any of those you mentioned. Katniss is a very hearty girl who's had many sacrifice for her and would do the same for those she cared about, Angel feels she has no place to go nor anything to live for past helping us, Aymeric would take very little persuasion in the same way Chitoge had when I suggested the idea of poisoning to her... And Isaac would to repay the man who saved his life, once upon a time. What a charming group~.

[andexecutioner]

"Charming" is probably the politest way you could have put that, isn't it.

[what a bunch of fucking morons, tbh.]

[seventhprogenitor]

[tbfh]

It is. They're also very sweet individuals who by no means would ever jump to conclusions, not at all~. Has your relationship with Katniss improved any?

[andexecutioner]

We haven't really talked, and I think we both prefer it that way.

[Seriously, they hate each other.]

She sent me a death threat once, and she came in here and went through my stuff like she thinks that I'll keep anything important somewhere that people can find it.

[seventhprogenitor]

What a rude young lady~. I'll have to scold her for that, then. Children who don't have manners need to be disciplined strictly or they'll grow up to be even worse adults! I won't promise an apology or anything though, seeing as she's more likely to spit on you.

[seriously though what is with humans and spitting that's gross]

[andexecutioner]

[...Oh, ew, what the fuck does he actually do with his face at that - ]

Fern and Archie both did that already, I'd prefer to not have it happen again.

[seventhprogenitor]

[RIGHT???]

Humans are such disgusting creatures, aren't they. If there's any apology to be given at all, it'll be in letter form, don't you worry. I'll protect that darling face of yours~.

[andexecutioner]

[Ugh.]

She'll probably do what she did last time, which was jam an arrow through it and shoot it at the door.

[seventhprogenitor]

She's certainly shy.

[That's... Sure. That's the way to put it.]

Has anyone else caused you trouble?

[andexecutioner]

Plenty of people have, in one way or another. It's not like it bothers me, though - I don't stop them, even if I have the right to.

[After all, the only rule change he's implemented has been "you can suicide out if you want to."]

[seventhprogenitor]

Why not?

[is it because you're related to the cockroach

periplaneta iudicium??]

[andexecutioner]

[...okay fuck you, the classification made me laugh and i may have snorted drink]

Because it's more genuine this way.

I'm not here to bend you guys to my will, I'm just here to enforce what rules do exist and let you play the game however you want. That includes your interactions with me and each other. If I put too many rules on you guys, it's going to change your behavior.
