Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

Would you be surprised if I said I'd need to experiment on you?

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

No.

Experiment how?

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

Since I would be shooting in the dark, the first step would be to take samples of your blood - and then of varying tissues. There are different approaches, and most of them will fail. Obviously.

But the real question is whether you would be willing to let me do such a thing. Just because Phainon is not interested does not mean I am not also willing to carry him to victory, no matter how many times I have to destroy my body for it.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

... so if you have someone to run those experiments on, you don't have a need to do them to yourself?

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

Only for the purpose of figuring out this place's power. This is assuming you do reach the position of Queen, and that I am willing to slow down enough to let you.

Any experimentation on myself is still on the table, so do not think you can convince me to stop with that.

[rolls his eyes]

The real problem is that drawing my blood... is drawing from my stories. Stories are a Constellation's life's blood, basically. I may not even be able to recall what fragment of stories you take with that.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

[ what the fuck. Now he extra wants to examine his blood but he will cool his jets ]

And what of your skin?

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

Any part of me.

[when he said he scattered his stories he meant all of himself...]

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

Of course you'd be infuriating even as a test subject.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

Did you think I was being metaphorical when talking about my stories?

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

No, because I already know you do not do well with metaphors. But even then I could not possibly imagine you're holding them together in your body.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

They're in a library, technically.

[... the library is a fucking mess.]

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

[ this is a man who has found out he is essentially a computer program and he's still giving the most judgamental look to Kim Dokja ]

Is that so.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

That is so.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

Fine. Your stories held together in the library inside your body or mind.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

Yes. Now you get it.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

As I have said before. You are infuriating even as a test subject.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

That's me. Infuriating in every situation.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

[ he just. sighs ]

I will see if I can use you. But if not, our competition still stands. I could not trust Phainon to ally himself with you, in any case.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

Strange way to put it, but that's fine.

Like I said, I don't plan to let him get to Queen before me.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

I do wonder if the title will truly ever be reached by only one person. If it is a matter of waiting it out, Phainon's already lived for countless of years.

But why do you have such drive? Is it truly just to end your existence? Or is it for the sake of your servants?

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

For my Servants, yes.

But also... for others.

I'm not completely settled on my wish. It could be that end. Or it could be... finding a way to support things without going back to how it was before.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

...mm. That would not be a terrible way to use this power. And perhaps simply having a goal is better for you.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[plotrevised]

We'll see which way it goes.

Re: ORV SPOILERS ;)

[seedsofblasphemy]

Then I only have one last thing to say. Do not make Lyle cry.

He will actually punch me, next time.
