[after this conversation]

So I just talked to Nova.

He's Hello_Players on the forums.

[he links to the thread, and then c/p's the PM'd conversation.]

Found out his username yesterday.

He PMed me to ask how I would've reacted to him if he hadn't threatened to kill my sister and then decided he wasn't going to take the threat back because he didn't like my answer. Threw a fit like a fucking toddler, as usual.

[andlivefreely]

I've never dealt with him before. Guess that's a good thing, since it means he doesn't already have reason to hate me.

[inchesofevil]

Yeah, you lucked the fuck out, there.

[suddenly_science]

By some measurements he kind of is a toddler.

That's troubling, though. I was daring to hope his shit was done with.

You want a c/p of the convo? It was pretty fucking ridiculous.

[Reply All]

[suddenly_science]

Sure, throw it my way...

idk Heimduncan to me it looks like a somewhat deranged olive branch but an olive branch nonetheless

He seems to want your approval

Or something. I guess it's approval.

[Reply All]

[inchesofevil]

I know he wants my approval.

I can't give what I don't have.

[suddenly_science]

You could fake it for the sake of diffusing the threat

Or not

[inchesofevil]

Why, so he can blow up all over again when he finds out I lied to him?

[Reply All]

[suddenly_science]

Is that really the kind of lie that gets found out later, though?

I mean, if you can't bring yourself to, that's understandable.

[Reply All]

[inchesofevil]

He's so ready to find fault in absolutely anything I do or say that I'm gonna say yeah. Yeah, it is. Even if 'finding out' is just him deciding apropos of nothing that I was never being sincere.

[Reply All]

[suddenly_science]

You're probably right.

Man I wish I'd made some different decisions with his characterization.

[Reply All]

[inchesofevil]

Don't we all.

[he means all players re: their own chars, not everyone specifically re: her and Nova]

Sweet mother that guy is a nutter.

I am so glad I never earned his ire. Or his desire for approval, I guess.

I'm sorry, nutters are fun to play....

[Reply All]

[andlivefreely]

I can't believe this is all on you, there's gotta be some extra nuttiness since turning real.

[Reply All]

[suddenly_science]

Actually, a whole lot of it is new, but the new kind of springs from the old. And the "holes" from all the stuff I never decided...

[andlivefreely]

Still, a lot of it's on him for what he says and does because of it. It's not like he's fucking five.

Unless you gave him the thought process of a five year old.

[suddenly_science]

Not to my knowledge, no.

He's regressed some, since turning real.

[andlivefreely]

Well, if he wants to act like a bratty child and throw tantrums, it's on him, then.

I will be wary of his tantrums, though.

[suddenly_science]

Yes. Tantrums with knives are not good tantrums.

[andlivefreely]

I have no intention of ever letting him throw a tantrum at me in person.

But just in case, I'll be keeping a supply of potions on me whenever I go out. Y'know, once I'm not spitting fire every time I breath.

[suddenly_science]

Sounds like a plan.
