[ Hello, everyone. You will first receive an image.

It's ten swords.

Just ten swords, in a pile on the floor. Nothing is remarkable about these swords. They're just metal swords. There are ten (10) of them. Golly. ]

Found these in front of my door
I don't need em
So if anyone wants a sword or wants to learn how to stab someone informally
Let me know
Only 10 of you though

[ What a kind and generous and incredibly succinct offer! ]

wasn't my initial idea but you know what? sure. if I get the hang of it then it would be badass

I used to use a shield and spear back in the day so surely I could pick it up

I'm not gonna have to teach you how to stab someone, right
It's like a spear only heavier and less piercing

[ Okay. ]

I know what a sword is

it's just modern weaponry that I have a problem with. anything "old-fashioned" is no problem

the swords of the azteca might be a little different in their shape, but they're still swords. I know how to use one

No kidding?
How are those shaped?

kinda like a bat? but flat. two sides are lined with lots of obsidian, so it's sharp enough to cut off a limb no problem

they're called macuahuitl. not my go-to choice lately since I ain't exactly burly in this body, but the strength is mostly needed for the dismemberment part of the equation. it'll still cut just fine

dismemberment, huh
that's valid
did you not have a choice in body

technically yeah

but was trying to do something nice. didn't end up working like I thought exactly but once it's done it's done. can't exactly make a new one without getting resummoned and pretty sure that ain't happening again

I guess it's not the worst
I didn't pick this one or the last

you know considering that rating discussion a while ago I'll take it

but you get new bodies huh? how come?

died, got shoved into a machine body technically, then got this body because the director decided to make us look more human again for the librarian role

that's pretty hardcore

you get a say in that process? obviously not the looks part. but the getting shoved into a body part

not the first time
second time was more of a forced compromise
apparently I'm not allowed to stay dead

huh. other worlds have different ways they work, know that, but still a surprise sometimes

[ There's a small delay, but then another message. ]

did you want to rest?

[ ... ]

yeah
but it's fine
what's another round

don't get me wrong I appreciate the resolve. or the acceptance if the tone of that is a little different

but I'm a god of paradise. all souls deserve their rest is all I'd say

it's probably both, at this rate
the next time I die, I'd like it to stick

fair enough. normally I'd say I could guarantee that, but LILITH took that kinda ability from me. but might still be able to see what I can do. tricks of the trade and all

sounds like a threat now that I type it out but you know what I mean

thanks I think
for letting me stay dead?
when I die
if that's what you're saying

yeah funny thing to offer someone huh?

but essentially, that'd be my hope. hell since we've met there's enough of a chance you'd show up in my afterlife that it could be legit

can't say for sure though

just meeting you means I have a chance of ending up in your afterlife?

generally speaking yeah. don't exactly know how it'd work with totally different worlds, so I can't guarantee anything. but if this were my world or one of its parallel timelines? for sure

could call it fate if you'd like

but I generally got a few strings I can pull to make it happen

huh
didn't think you liked me THAT much

is it better or worse to say it's not a matter of liking someone? ha

mostly duty at the end of the day. but I believe in letting people that die have their rest yknow?

it's fine, either way
but I appreciate the thought
where do you want me to take this sword?

oh fuck got too serious and forgot about the sword

I'm hanging out in the library right now. can also meet you wherever
