[ 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! ]

[fursuit]

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

but you get new bodies huh? how come?

[bemist]

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

[fursuit]

that's pretty hardcore

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

[bemist]

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

[fursuit]

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?

[bemist]

[ ... ]

yeah
but it's fine
what's another round

[fursuit]

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

[bemist]

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

[fursuit]

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

[bemist]

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

[fursuit]

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

[bemist]

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

[fursuit]

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

[bemist]

huh
didn't think you liked me THAT much

[fursuit]

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?

[bemist]

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

[fursuit]

oh fuck got too serious and forgot about the sword

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

[bemist]

library's fine with me
see you soon

[fursuit]

perfect. and you got my thanks for what it's worth. I appreciate the generosity
