[PM: Deathbringer]

[taking_names]

[he was going to let this go but it just kept knocking around in his head and before he knew it he was internet stalking Siegmund to find out his identity and...]

So on a scale of one to ten, how impossible is it for a very friendly and kind person who might have once temporarily blinded you in a fit of misguided anger to make amends?

Ten means super impossible.

[three apologies, three rejections. His obligation to Teshuvah is complete and he gets the same amount of spiritual cred that he would for going through the whole process. TAKE THAT, NOVA.]

[ALSO, WOW. STOP. That is an actual thing that he actually did in real life and it is very uncomfortable to have you bringing it up as a joke.]

[...but it's also something he did in the game because he was a PVP troll, and that IS where the name comes from.]

Don't be an idiot.

You can't apologize to a corpse.

[taking_names]

If you don't care whether the apology is accepted or not, then you might as well.

[bloodonthestones]

It means nothing if the person you apologize to doesn't have the choice to accept it or not.

[taking_names]

...Actually, that distinction makes sense.

But I still think apologies are stupid and yours were mean-spirited.

[bloodonthestones]

I don't care what you think of my apologies.

Deathbringer is my assassin's name. [and, if Nova's observant, he might notice that the assassin pictured in Siegmund's userpic bears a striking resemblance to one he encountered in Las Vegas...]

[taking_names]

You should. Because they're apologies and not caring what I think of them MAKES NO SENSE.

...

What! I think I "met" him...

[bloodonthestones]

I apologized three times, you refused three times. It's finished. I made Teshuvah for it.

[...so...curious...]

[why is it that everyone he's run into who's met his assassin is awful and uncooperative?!]

Where?

[taking_names]

Listen to that! You sound like you won a game. How could anyone accept an apology that's full of bad feelings, anyway?

The same place I bumped into you. He was one of the ones chasing us.

[bloodonthestones]

It's not full of bad feelings. You think that because it makes you feel better than me.

Why did he chase you?

[taking_names]

I think I'm better than you? Ha! Ha ha.

I think he was with the other guy who was trying to kill this lady who I accidentally saved from a crossbow bolt.

[bloodonthestones]

[not even going to dignify that with a response. just the fact that nova said it--ie he was trying to point out again how he thinks Siegmund is being fake to earn goodness-points--basically confirms that he's right.]

The lady the Ahura took back to the Undertow?

[because he recognized Nova when he was there, and he got the story about Greycloaks being after Lisa.]

[taking_names]

Yes, that one.

[bloodonthestones]

Is he a Greycloak?

They are the ones chasing her, yes?

[taking_names]

I guess so. [the cloak was grey...]

[bloodonthestones]

[...that kid was a fuckin' Greycloak, wasn't he? son of a...]

[well, being members of the same organization means it'll be easy enough to run into Deathbringer again, most likely...]

I see.

I didn't expect that.

[taking_names]

I guess you don't talk much?

[bloodonthestones]

No. I never knew what happened to him.

[taking_names]

On purpose?

[bloodonthestones]

The other one is on purpose. Deathbringer was never a person so I didn't think about it.

[that'll probably get some anger in response but whateverrrr he doesn't care if he pisses Nova off at this point]

[taking_names]

[yeah, there's a flash of anger

but he's SUPPOSED TO BE OVER THIS and doesn't want this guy using it for ammunition about how he's a psycho, so he tries to control it]

Why didn't you think about your creation who was never a person? That seems like a reason to be even more worried about what would happen to him.

[bloodonthestones]

I had something more important to worry about.

Like staying alive stranded in a violent fantasy world.

[taking_names]

[yeah sure that totally explains not thinking about it at ALL]

All right.

[bloodonthestones]

You are being polite, yes? You don't really think it's all right.

[CALLIN U OUT]

[taking_names]

Are you asking me just so you can judge me for something I didn't even say?

[bloodonthestones]

Only G-d can judge.

I'm just curious.
