if you had to kill three people, any people, who would it be and what would you use to do it
if this is for the honesty thing, you missed a step there, buddy, but that’s all right, because i will answer it anyway! and if it’s just a random question, i am happy to be getting it.
1. @esurientphantasm ‘s bro - i really really don’t like that guy, for reasons i’m not going to list here, and i would really, really REALLY like ij to not be married to this fucker!! i’m not really sure how to kill him just yet, because i’m not allowed to. he is a Prince of Hell, and therefore very durable. my go-to would be my Mark though, because that’s the obvious choice for shredding the shit out of someone until they hopefully never come back.
2. efrain - him and his clan! his clan got hold of jake and did horrible things to him. they deserve to be taken the eff out! i would probably just rip them apart and then torch their corpses before they can revive.
3. technically that is well over three people, but hmm... maybe that guy gabriel ( @heinoushalo ) got involved with? i know i said i would stay neutral, but he just seems like a really not good guy, and i think we should probably make him be no more. again i would need to look into him so i would know how to take him down, or the Mark. but he seems like he would be too smart to fall for that! (unlike bro, who is too arrogant to think he would stay dead.)
This is the conversation that John managed through his jury-rigged ritual summoning-prayer to his brother. With @judgenexecutioner.
Set Tuesday 05 December 2017
[12:19 PM] kindredconfectionery: > You didn't find anything referencing summoning your brother. You found some strange references to prayer and something that sounds like his judge position. You decide to perform a mish mash of the two and see what happens. You make a single circle with sigils of focus, protection, binding and that pesky piercing the veil one. Additionally, you put down the oldest representative symbol for him and yours to match. This is mostly done with paint, but you throw a bit of your blood in as a power up. You take a seat near the center of the circle, meditating to focus before you begin. The chant is cobbled together from summonings and prayers and translated into your first language, seeking your brother to come if he may in whatever form he is able. You don't know if you truly believe this will work, but you miss him enough to try and find out.
[12:30 PM] judgenexecutioner: > You're exhausted, but even if your Heavenly Father is gone, that doesn't mean that you can shirk off on your duties, even if it means taking up someone else's duties in their absence. You take pride in your work, in not making the souls of the departed wait too long to travel go their next destination in their existence. Still, you must truly be exhausted, because it takes you a while to notice that you are being prayed to. It probably doesn't help that it's been ages since anyone has invoked your name in prayer. You've almost forgotten how to respond, because even when prayer to you was more common, you rarely answered them directly. But the pull of this call tugs achingly familiar. You settle in quiet on Paradise and reach back through this new connection.
How in blue blazes did you figure out how to do this, brother mine?
[12:55 PM] kindredconfectionery: > You feel a vibration along... something. You're not sure what at first, and when a golden glow seems to flare up around you, you crack an eyelid open briefly to verify it. Well, that's something. But is it good? You get the answer moments later when you get an answer from your brother. You shriek his name internally before calming yourself enough to form words at him again.
i made a summoning circle, bled in it and used a few obscure references to contacting the sorter of souls to intercede on someone's behalf that i found in old books.
[12:58 PM] judgenexecutioner: > The shriek reverberates in your head, it's an odd combination of your modern name and a soft echo of your true name. You shiver off the odd feeling, grinning at the obvious excitement coming from the other end of this bond.
John. I'm so glad to hear from you.
But i take of you don't actually want to intercede on behalf of a departed soul?
> There's obvious amusement in your tone.
[1:29 PM] kindredconfectionery: > You think a huff in his direction. He's laughing at you.
i don't even know of anyone who died recently, so no. i got tired of missing you, and frustrated because i couldn't even pass a simple hi through miss bella with any certainty it would reach you. so i went research diving and cobbled this together and hoped it wouldn't stab me in the anywhere.
[1:45 PM] judgenexecutioner: I've missed you, too. You have no idea! Maybe you do... I have not seen hide nor hair of ms. bella in an age! Her absence has been keeping me right busy... Still, i cannot believe you found this old, dusty prayer!
[2:23 PM] kindredconfectionery: i wanted to believe it, but i didn't know.
> There's a warm sense of relief coming from you.
so much has been going on keeping me busy with everything. i finally told them all to shove off for a bit after the last thing went awry. i can't believe it even exists. i guess i just got lucky.
[2:31 PM] judgenexecutioner: I keep telling myself that if i just do another batch, i can take a break and visit you. But it's not as easy as souls being brought to me for judgement. I have to go to seek them out, and i cannot, in all good conscience, leave the souls of the departed lingering after their deaths for so long.
> You can feel his relief and you answer with all the love you can muster.
The who what now? What are you saying?
[2:49 PM] kindredconfectionery: it's all right. i understand. it's important you take care of them. i'm still not going anywhere. or not anywhere far anyway.
> You let the feeling wash over you, soaking it up like it's the last time it'll happen. You don't feel that way, but you needed it that much.
the family. some friends. mostly the family. i'm not sorry i want a little time to myself after having a chunk ripped out of my middle because i let them talk me into their bad idea.
[2:52 PM] judgenexecutioner: It's important that i spend time with you, too...
> Your voice is a little sulky, but you know you have no one to blame but yourself.
Wait... WHAT?!
> And now it was time for your own... voice to echo loudly on his end.
Who ripped a chunk out of your middle?!
[3:47 PM] kindredconfectionery: stop pouting, baby brother. the last few months have been a crazy mess anyway.
> You wince. Now you feel a bit bad about your original shriek.
john's husband. i was better in like an hour or two.
[3:51 PM] judgenexecutioner: Don't tell me what to do, big brother.
> Your tone is light and teasing again. And then it's not.
Your little demon strumpet? He had a husband? You were his bit on the side?! Did you know about this? And at least the asshole who hurt you is dead.
[3:57 PM] kindredconfectionery: you really want to have a row about demon strumpets right now? we weren't together like that. and john is an incubus. i'm sure he has plenty of bits on the side. of course i knew he was the consort to his lust. which means he's far from dead.
[4:01 PM] judgenexecutioner: It's not a row! It's what it is. It's what he is. Because he's not more than that.
I suppose you have a point about John's nature. I'm sure you're quite a fine feed for him.
Wait... the consort of the Lust? The ruler of his sin? And... and what? He sought out retribution?
[4:13 PM] kindredconfectionery: it sure sounds like one. he's a good person, but you don't have to like him any more than me with dirk.
> You want to snap at Jake, to tell him to fuck off, but you manage to get yourself under control, your temper calm again when you answer the rest of what he said.
maybe. i'm not sure. it might just have been a test. he hates me, as he's right to, but he didn't come looking for me just to put his tail through my middle.
[4:24 PM] judgenexecutioner: > now you're feeling angry, you hadn't before. Especially that he brought up Dirk.
Dirk and i were starting to get close before you returned into my life. He's hardly someone i just wanted to have a bit of fun with, though maybe that's all he wanted from me. And i haven't seen dirk in longer than i've last seen you. because the very thought of my presence filled him with fear. I'm sure he's long since moved on from me. But thank you for the reminder of those lovely memories.
A test? To test what? His stupidity?
[4:56 PM] kindredconfectionery: > You feel it, fixing your expression into a smile so wide it's painful. They say that's supposed to help how you feel. It's rubbish, at least this time.
john is my friend. just because we're not romantically inclined to one another doesn't mean all i wanted from him was a bit of fun. i am genuinely sorry for you that he disappeared on such a sour note.
more like his arrogance. he seems to be under the delusion the Mark won't affect him as much and that it's going to lose power over time, especially now that God is dead.(edited)
[5:02 PM] judgenexecutioner: > It is pure rubbish, because all that feels like is a slim veneer of dishonesty over the whole mess.
Maybe i should treat my friends more like you do.
He didn't disappear. I'm sure he's still around. All he did wax flatter me and put off plans of ever seeing me again.
You don't know that the mark won't kill him. It obviously affects him, but i'm sure john would have told you if he had died.
And maybe the mark will weaken with time. Maybe all of existence will slowly unravel. This is all unprecedented...
[5:43 PM] kindredconfectionery: what's that supposed to mean.
i haven't seen or heard of him any more than you have, so that counts as disappearing to me. i didn't say he was dead. just not around either of us.
he stabbed a hook tailed through my stomach, and it ripped some chunks of flesh with it on the way back out. that repercussion is hardly going to be a fatal wound for someone of that level. maybe it will. i don't know that it won't, but going around trying to say that he'll be completely fine if he annihilates me is ridiculous.
[5:48 PM] judgenexecutioner: Nothing, brother. It doesn't mean anything.
I see...
> the shrug can be felt through the connection.
You don't know that he can't, either. And i'm sure the comment of the curse weakening was him trying to make you doubt the forces you have in your arsenal.
Maybe he won't be fine, but maybe he'll survive and make his way back to fine. He is not from our world and who knows whose rules apply to whom when you mix and match your special armors.
[6:07 PM] kindredconfectionery: that's not the sort of nothing that means nothing, but if you really don't want to talk about it, we don't have to right now.
he doesn't make me doubt a single thing. i know it affects him just fine now, so it's his funeral if he wants to try for worse.
[6:44 PM] judgenexecutioner: I don't wish to talk about it, because i don't want you to feel like i want you to change. Anymore than you want me to feel like you want me to change. It was a rude comment that i didn't mean.
How about you don't antagonize your friend's husband?
[7:13 PM] kindredconfectionery: you did mean it, but it's all right. i deserve it.
> You know you should be better than you are, but it's easier to just keep doing what you've always done than to dwell on being lonely.
he started it.
[7:23 PM] judgenexecutioner: We are the way we are. We're both too old to change so quickly, or at all if we do not wish to...
> The sigh is a very much audible thing.
John...
[7:36 PM] kindredconfectionery: > You could make a thousand excuses for yourself, but all you know right now is that it upsets Jake, and you feel like shit about it.
i'm sorry.
> You sound very childish when you protest.
what? he did. i accidentally summoned john because i didn't know the bullshit name i picked was his true demon name. bro came charging in after him and started in on me.
[7:38 PM] judgenexecutioner: You do not have to be, brother. I've done things that you wished i didn't, too. Like attempting anything with Dirk...
> You can't help it, you laugh.
You do have the most wretched luck. I bet you whisked John away from right under his husband's very nose. I bet if the situation were reversed, you'd be a might be miffed, too.
[7:52 PM] kindredconfectionery: i'm sorry i brought that up. it was out of line.
> You just didn't like the way he was attacking John, so you pulled up the closest thing you could think of to match it, which just so happened to be Dirk.
probably. he came in naked. but he also came in demonic, so that might not be related. i'm not saying i wouldn't be miffed if someone managed to summon you while we were in bed together or whatever they were doing, but i understand the concept of a mistake and diplomacy. i'm not sure he does either. or maybe it's just me.
[7:56 PM] judgenexecutioner: It was... but i forgive you.
> You don't think it's at all the same. You had cared for Dirk, you still do. You have no doubt your brother cares for his demon alternate, but attempting a relationship and having a friend with benefits is hardly the same thing. You doubt your brother would be pleased if you attempted the same thing with any of your friends. You never were attacking John in the first place. A strumpet to you is a promiscuous person, and that is what the incubus is, even if it's by nature. You honestly think it's a cute name for someone of that nature. And much nicer than what others would use.
It probably doesn't help that you two have a history that isn't 100% pleasant.
[8:03 PM] kindredconfectionery: thank you. you have to do that way too often.
> The reason you deemed it the closest was because they're both incubi. And you misinterpreted his choice in word, because strumpet has taken on negative connotations which his semi-antiquated vocabulary probably hasn't caught up with. A shame it happened, but at least you worked through it.
probably not. that's why i said maybe it's just me. either way, john kept us from trying to actually have a go at one another. and no one else present was hurt, so i'd say it was a success.
[8:10 PM] judgenexecutioner: We're human... are we're still holding on to our human condition regardless of what we are. We make mistakes and hope that we'll be forgiven for them.
> Apparently there's still plenty of misunderstanding there, but you're both moved passed it.
John sounds like a nice bloke. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it was.
[8:12 PM] kindredconfectionery: i still don't know how to make small ones.
> You chuckle, the amusement tricking over. At least they're mostly not catastrophic as they used to be.
he is. i really think you'd like him if you got to meet him. he's a good kid.
[8:15 PM] judgenexecutioner: > You snicker softly yourself.
You do like to show off in all things that you do.
Maybe i will someday
[8:24 PM] kindredconfectionery: hey, what's the point of having cool powers if you don't use them?
> Even if one of your powers is hecking up spectacularly.
maybe. so have you been or done anything interesting on your great soul round up?
[8:26 PM] judgenexecutioner: You mean like my power to come back from the dead no matter what happens to me or how poorly i take care of myself?
> Now you're just not being fair.
I found a lost soul and had to exorcise it. That was... interesting. But mostly it has been tedious work. You?
[8:37 PM] kindredconfectionery: jake...
> He's not. But you don't complain more than the way you said his name.
sounds interesting.
i picked up a couple new additions to the family, neither entirely by choice. we've been trying to figure them both out. i've made friends with a lot of people who are bad at taking care of themselves. a few have even stayed with me for a while, but not for long. oh! and i fought the legion of another world. not john's world. another other world.
[8:40 PM] judgenexecutioner: Yes, big brother?
> Look at you being a shit with your way too innocent tone.
Now that sounds like a very interesting time! And you continue to grow your family of little misfits. I don't mean that as an insult, either. You just... like taking care of others...
Wait... what? Brother, are you actually trying to kill yourself?!
[8:44 PM] kindredconfectionery: i am rolling my eyes at you, you little shit.
> He's terrible. You love him.
i do. i prefer they don't get sent to me though. why did you say it like that? with all the hesitation?
no. i was tired of them messing with me and threatening a good friend. it didn't end up amounting to much, since we got stopped by a virtue that destroyed their central park.
[8:50 PM] judgenexecutioner: Yes, i can feel the force of it all the way over here. It is nostalgic.
> You hum a bit.
Sent to you? Who sent them to you? I hesitated, because it just reminded me of when we were truly young and i would bring home all sorts of lost beasts to care for. I thought of bringing up the comparison, but then realized you might not like it. Comparing your kindred and family to the wild beasts i'd bring home to take care of and raise.
.... That's still so very dangerous!
[9:09 PM] kindredconfectionery: an... old friend. ex-friend. was going by the name of violet the last i knew her, but i'm sure she's changed it more than once since then. the other was sent by angel u.p.s. no, it's fine. i know what you mean. they were like your little family at the time.
and i'm still so very fine! i didn't even get seriously injured from it either.
[9:11 PM] judgenexecutioner: An ex-friend... and why would she send someone to you? Are you worried it might all be subterfuge?
... Angel u.p.s.? What? Are you taking care of an angel?
I'm glad, they meant a lot to me, and I know your family means a lot to you.
Fine, but you can't complain now if and when i do anything reckless.
[9:18 PM] kindredconfectionery: more like an ex-wife, okay? but we had a very nasty falling out that was my fault. i'm not worried it's subterfuge unless she's managed to figure out a way to use a forcibly turned, mute teenage girl with severe ptsd against me.
not that i'm aware. it appears to just be a human infant sent to me from paradise. i'm having cecilia tend to him for now until he's old enough for me to not screw up taking care of him.
i can do anything i like. because you're not going to stop fretting about me either.
[9:21 PM] judgenexecutioner: Oh... I... I can't say that i understand it. Why she did it, what it means, why she hurt this girl and then sent her to you. But i would be wary, big brother.
... A human infant... Why would they send you a human infant? I haven't heard anything of this when i visit paradise.
And yet i am letting the subject drop now.
[9:26 PM] kindredconfectionery: that's what we're trying to figure out. for both of them, honestly. she hurt her to let me know she hasn't forgotten. what i don't know is why this girl. violet's not stupid. she means something somehow. i just don't know how. and we're very wary.
i don't know. there wasn't a return address on the package, and casey said the delivery angel was less than helpful. the only thing i have on him is a couple of people have noted he looks a bit like me. but what can you really tell at three months of age?
deal.
[9:29 PM] judgenexecutioner: What is it that she's reminding you of with this girl? What has not been forgotten?
I thought my life before reuniting with you was perilous, but there have been no attempts on my life by bitter clans. Unless there have been and you're taking care of it without my knowledge.
... He looks like you? Do you think he looks like you? Unfortunately, you are the elder brother, so i cannot say i would be able to pinpoint it for sure if i were to see this child.
[9:42 PM] kindredconfectionery: i murdered someone very close to her. someone who was like a little brother to her. because i thought... i thought he'd killed you. he didn't. but i didn't find that out until later. i didn't care. i just attacked.
i'm glad you're all right.
i don't know if he does or not. he's darker than me with black hair and blue eyes. it doesn't exactly scream identical twins. and for the record, i was like a year and a half or so when you were born, so i wouldn't know what you looked like either. which by the way, happy birthday. ish. it's somewhere around this time of year. i know that much.
[9:45 PM] judgenexecutioner: .... There's a chance he might have. You know... my inability to stay dead. But... chances are just as well that he didn't. So... all this time later, she sends this girl to you... to send a message, but you're not sure what.
I am fine, i promise you.
Darker than you are now? Or darker than you were then? That i might be able to answer for you.
... Huh, by gum, you're right! Thank you.
[10:03 PM] kindredconfectionery: no. he didn't. i know because i saw the body later. it was still pretty dead and definitely not you. it's most likely a warning. i'm good at going underground. hiding. as i'm sure you well know. but i've gotten complacent, easy enough to find. it's the girl that's bugging me. yes, they dolled her up to look like my quote-unquote type, but why her? why not take someone who already looked that way? she's important too. but i don't even know who she is. i'm sorry. now i'm ranting...
darker than i am now. not as dark as i used to be, i don't think.
i know i'm right. i never forgot. you're welcome!
[10:07 PM] judgenexecutioner: Oh, i see.That's... unfortunate... And yes, i know all too well how good you are at hide and seek. Unfortunately, you were mainly hiding from me, and since you stopped doing that, i'm not surprised others have found you. You're type? What is your type, brother dear? Did this formerly Violet make this poor girl look like she once did?
No, it's alright. If it helps you think, rant away.
Darker than me?
You are a ridiculous man.
[10:15 PM] kindredconfectionery: i'm not either, and it's my own stupid fault for it, because i'm not the one in the most danger.
green eyes. black hair. kind of tan. in that order. kind and cheerful. so... you, basically. you're my type. violet looks nothing like that. she isn't much like that either. never was.
darker than you.
how does that make me ridiculous?
[10:19 PM] judgenexecutioner: Who is?
Oh... i...
> You wonder if he can feel that you're blushing.
But something drew you to her. You wouldn't marry someone just for the sake of relieving loneliness, would you?
Hmm... that's interesting. But clearly paradise wanted to give you a child that looked like they could be biologically yours. Have you had them tested?
In the same way it makes me ridiculous. Remembering such at thing for someone who you had not seen for the vast majority of your lifetime.
[10:29 PM] kindredconfectionery: anyone and everyone in my family.
> You can and it makes you laugh. Jake is adorable.
having a type doesn't mean no one else will do. she was tough and smart and isolated, and i was alone, on the run and needed help. she didn't turn me away or try very hard to kill me even after i told her i'd been stalking her for a while and liked her. it sort of took off from there.
great. how about they try asking next time, so i can tell them to let it bake a little while longer if they absolutely think i should have one. tested how? he seems perfectly healthy to all of us.
it's not ridiculous when they were the most important person in your life.
[10:32 PM] judgenexecutioner: > He's laughing at you. You huff.
Yes, i suppose that does make sense.
> Like his brother being his type, but he had had various different crushes over the years. Nothing that sounded as sad as what John just described, though.
Paradise usually doesn't ask when they give you gifts. And i mean a blood test. Though now i wonder if you can be given blood tests, given your nature and your condition.
[10:41 PM] kindredconfectionery: > That just makes you laugh more. You can't help it.
they can kindly fuck off then. you mean like a dna test? that never even occurred to me. hmm. i'll have to ask and see if anyone knows about that, because i sure don't.
[10:43 PM] judgenexecutioner: Stop that, you lout!
Don't say it like that, brother. Didn't you want a family? I know you have one, but this is just one more. One more that could possibly carry your blood.
Yes, that is a thing humans have had for a little while now. If you can't do it, perhaps i can offer my services. Since i can have blood drawn and i am your brother, our dna should be similar enough to find a genetic relation.
[5:51 AM] kindredconfectionery: > You try to stop laughing, but you can't quite manage it right away, even managing to slip a 'make me' into it before you can calm down enough to talk again.
at one point, yes i could have wanted this. but that was a very long time ago. blood isn't that important to me anymore. he says, realizing the extreme irony of the claim.
i'm aware of that. thank you very much. i think we would have the same problem with the testing if any were to arise at that stage. the awkward phase would be if they tried to take it from me, and i don't think most places let you just send in your own blood willy nilly.
[7:53 AM] judgenexecutioner: I will if i have to!
> You're probably not helping at all in stopping his laughter.
so if you found out he was your son, it wouldn't mean anymore to you than if he was just one of your kindred?
Perhaps i have the idea all wrong, but i also thought they could extract dna from things like saliva?
Also, i'm sure with your vast amounts of unnecessary wealth, you could pay someone not to care if you sent your own blood willy nilly.
[8:04 AM] kindredconfectionery: > Not really.
no. why should it?
hey, you were the one who said blood test. i was just going down that road specific like. while you make reasonable points, i'm not finding it that important to prove people wrong. i don't know how often you've been around infants, but people always look for features in the baby to match up to what they want to see, and so far there's really only the one thing versus me, which is a pretty weak argument. black hair is literally everywhere. if you still want to do it that badly though, i'll pay for it for you, but i'm not bothering.
[8:37 AM] judgenexecutioner: I'm not sure. It matters to some people.
> Like maybe you, a little bit.
You're right, but i didn't remember right away that dna could be extracted from most places, even skin cells, i think.
And why would you do if to prove people wrong? Are you saying you hope it isn't true? That you want to prove them wrong?
I... is it so bad that i wish to know if i have a nephew?
[8:48 AM] kindredconfectionery: it doesn't to me.
> You wouldn't necessarily judge him for feeling that way, but you're not going to prioritize some random kid over the rest of your 'children’ who make up your family just because he shares your blood.
maybe i am saying i don't want it to be true. it's not bad for you to want to know, but why are you wishing for something for me you told me you didn't want for you?(edited)
[8:53 AM] judgenexecutioner: > You instantly feel bad for this small child. It was one thing to say that you didn't want to make them more important than your family of choice, and another to say you hoped it wasn't yours at all.
Because i remember when it was important to you.
> But then, it had been just as important to you back then, too.
And gifts from Paradise are never chosen at random, even if they seem that way. For all we know, they have decided that the next savior for humanity should be left in your care.
[9:58 AM] kindredconfectionery: pot, kettle, and have a mirror just for good measure.
> You aren't going down nostalgia lane without a fight.
now that is the most inadvisable thing i've heard in ages. why?
[10:00 AM] judgenexecutioner: Alright, fine. Be a stubborn, old goat!
> You honestly don't blame him.
I don't know, big brother. I know less about this than you do. But i'd still like to meet my potential nephew.
[10:46 AM] kindredconfectionery: baaaaaa
you're welcome to see him anytime you like. i would go get him now, but three months is not a particularly pious or intelligible age, so i don't think it would be worth the effort.(edited)
[10:55 AM] judgenexecutioner: ... Are you really saying that you're not spending time with him because he's not smart enough?
[11:09 AM] kindredconfectionery: oh my god. no, jake. i'm saying i'm not going to put him on this call or whatever it is.
> You're clearly laughing again.
[11:20 AM] judgenexecutioner: Oh! That's... not usually how this works, anyway. I'll try to make some time to visit soon.
[11:25 AM] kindredconfectionery: i have no idea how this usually works. i'm just too stubborn to be thwarted by your schedule and a lack of wings. whenever you do you're always welcome, even if you don't forewarn us. and we can discuss the test thing again once you've seen him for yourself.
[11:29 AM] judgenexecutioner: That does sound very much like you, big brother. I'm glad to hear from you. And to know that if you ever want to talk now, no amount of distance can stop you.
I don't even know where you're staying right now, much less where you're keeping little... did you say moro?
[11:30 AM] kindredconfectionery: damn straight.
i'm at the manor. like i was when you left. he's here too, under cecilia's care.
[11:40 AM] judgenexecutioner: Alright. How does tomorrow sound?
[11:47 AM] kindredconfectionery: it sounds great. why did you think i might be elsewhere?
[11:50 AM] judgenexecutioner: Because you travel sometime, that's all.
[11:51 AM] kindredconfectionery: all right. that's fair.
[11:54 AM] judgenexecutioner: You were once known as the wanderer, after all.
[12:03 PM] kindredconfectionery: that wasn't a choice, you know.
[12:04 PM] judgenexecutioner: I know... bit old habits died hard, and you admitted to feeling on edge over a vague threat from an old lover. I would blame you if you felt like wandering after that.
[12:11 PM] kindredconfectionery: of course i'm on edge from that. who wouldn't be? wandering is the last thing i want to do after that though. that's what i was trying to do when i found streak. if she sent her message when i was alone, i'm not taking the chance something worse will happen if i leave again.
[1:53 PM] judgenexecutioner: Like something to your family? Is her name really streak?
[2:11 PM] kindredconfectionery: yes. that's the next logical step. no, but i don't know what it is, and she's never said.
[2:12 PM] judgenexecutioner: Oh, i see. And she's never attempted to write it out or anything?
[2:13 PM] kindredconfectionery: nope. i don't know exactly why. she might not even know it anymore.
[2:14 PM] judgenexecutioner: The poor dear... I almost wrote down door. I might be getting a little distracted.
[2:16 PM] kindredconfectionery: if you need to go, it's all right.
[2:17 PM] judgenexecutioner: But i want to talk to you.
[2:28 PM] kindredconfectionery: i don't know what you have to do, but i'll be around. all doors will remain closed with me inside them.
[2:28 PM] judgenexecutioner: Shouldn't the door remain open if we want to keep a line of communication?
[2:31 PM] kindredconfectionery: but if we leave the door open, i might wander away. the skylight is what stays open.
[2:32 PM] judgenexecutioner: .... What?
[2:51 PM] kindredconfectionery: the doors exist in my house. the skylight is a metaphor for this connection. it made more sense before i sent it to you.
[2:52 PM] judgenexecutioner: ... I'm sure it did, big brother. I'm sure it did.
[3:07 PM] kindredconfectionery: shush. but that brings up an interesting question. can you do this in reverse?
[3:07 PM] judgenexecutioner: Can i reach out to you?
[3:12 PM] kindredconfectionery: yes.
[3:14 PM] judgenexecutioner: No, that's not how this works, either, i'm afraid.
[3:19 PM] kindredconfectionery: i thought not, but it seemed worth asking.
[3:20 PM] judgenexecutioner: I'm sorry. If it had been a method, i would have used it long before now. Possibly. It's been so long, I honestly forgot about it
[3:52 PM] kindredconfectionery: it's not your fault. i'm not an extradimensional supernatural being. there wouldn't be any functional rituals for me, forgotten or otherwise.
[3:55 PM] judgenexecutioner: But if i had remembered mine, i could have told you about it sooner.
[4:03 PM] kindredconfectionery: don't fret about it. really. if it's as old and disued as we both think, then i'm not surprised you forgot and can hardly be upset by that.
[4:04 PM] judgenexecutioner: I suppose your right. Though dang it all of that does shit all to make me want to kick myself right now.
[4:14 PM] kindredconfectionery: no kicking yourself. i forbid it.
[4:16 PM] judgenexecutioner: Well now i just have to do it.
[4:17 PM] kindredconfectionery: or you could listen to the wisdom of your big brother and not do it.
[4:20 PM] judgenexecutioner: Pffff!
[4:27 PM] kindredconfectionery: wow. how rude.
[4:27 PM] judgenexecutioner: That is i. A simple and rude little ranch hand.
[4:30 PM] kindredconfectionery: at least you're cute.
[5:19 PM] judgenexecutioner: good genes.
[5:27 PM] kindredconfectionery: they were the best ones available.
[5:28 PM] judgenexecutioner: Snrk! Not that you would be biased on the matter or anything.
[5:43 PM] kindredconfectionery: me? biased? about your parents? never!
[6:00 PM] judgenexecutioner: That's what i thought. Alright, if i want to be available to visit you tomorrow, then i should get down to work right now.
[6:01 PM] kindredconfectionery: all right. go ahead and get your keister back to what it's supposed to be doing instead of goofing off with me then.
[6:03 PM] judgenexecutioner: For the record, my keister misses you, too. *double pistols and a wink*
[6:03 PM] kindredconfectionery: oh my god. shoo already!
[6:07 PM] judgenexecutioner: Oh fine.
[6:08 PM] kindredconfectionery: good boy. i love you. i'll see you tomorrow, hopefully.
[6:14 PM] judgenexecutioner: I love you, too. I'll see you tomorrow!
