stop trying to get him into trouble!!!! except do keep trying to get him into trouble

[gorb]

Why don't you just tell me I look old like the rest of the group? That seems less likely to upset the tentative balance.

( The answer is no, he does not. He would actually like to go apeshit. )

[redsoil]

ARE you old? I do not recognize human ages well, but I thought old humans had more wrinkles.

And anyways, who cares about balance? The only reason it exists is because it has an opposite to strive against.

[ CHAOS FOR THE baby CHAOS GOD ]

[gorb]

I'm twenty-seven, so no.

( He just has eyebags for days. )

Tell me then, how have you acted out since arriving? Sewing the seeds but doing no work yourself?

[redsoil]

[ "twenty-seven?" ] I don't know what that means!

[ time is soup to a god ]

Oh, I don't need to seek vengeance here. I already murdered my brother and had him trapped in Duat for eternity. As for acting out, I've accomplished quite a bit! Did you not see me on the dating show? I was acting (my heart) out!

[gorb]

I don't care about dating, so no.

( The overworked teenager to single dad pipeline!

Also this would be so much easier were he to not be entirely fascinated by Set. He'd extract himself easier. But no. )

Did it help? Your vengeance? Did it make you feel better?

[redsoil]

Mm, I do not either. It was useful to my goals, though.

[ Set has a lot of pride and dignity until he needs to throw it away, and then he absolutely will for his own ends! <3 The question sours him deeply, though. Draws a scowl on his face unseen through text, a naked hostility toward the memory of his brother. ]

— yes, absolutely it did. I tore him to pieces and relished every moment.

[gorb]

Oh?

( Listen, he's done a lot of things in an effort to succeed. But he doesn't ever think something like a dating show would help. Unless Set plans for adoring subjects. He is a god, after all.

The second thing is more of a strange cause for jealousy, but it comes unbidden regardless. )

He must have done something worthy of such a punishment.

[redsoil]

[ UR NOT WRONG GETO ]

Whether he was or wasn't "worthy" doesn't matter to anyone, actually. The only thing they care about is that I killed him.

And if I could rip him apart and feel great, why couldn't you — whether it's someone ( or something?? ) you liked or loathed!

[gorb]

What did people think when you did? Were you hated for it? Adored? Misunderstood?

( He wonders if it would be easier were his hatred confined to only one person. Had it simply been Toji Fushiguro who had left him irreversibly changed? Would he have been able to put the grief down in the end, after the man had died? )

[redsoil]

What do I care what THEY thought?

[ don't dig into it, there's NOTHING more to it ( lie ) ]

Vengeance is for yourself and no other. It is what you claim, aspire, earn and strive for. Whether you want to soothe a pain, right a wrong, remind others of your strength, terrorize a foe, or prove your worth... the purpose of it is to give you the emotional release you need.

Stifling that need is wrong. It destroys your soul, for the sake of — what? Society's acceptance? Justice? Hah!

[gorb]

( Set, pls. The thread of good he's clinging on to is fraying bit by bit. )

Interesting.

Is it because you are a god that you do not care for the consequences? You don't know what manner or form my vengeance could take, it could be a scale wider than you'd like. It could be monumental.

But your encouragement is noted, I'll bear it in mind.
