Greetings,

I have done terrible and inexcusable things over the course of those past few months. Though I was corrupted through the power of the rift, I take full responsibility for those things I did. The rift did not create anything: it only exploited what was already there within my heart. It is entirely my fault for having allowed emotions and feelings that could later be exploited to fester within my heart.

I have been allowed to stay and continue helping in the efforts to help this world, and I intend to do my utmost to prove myself an ally of humanity. I do not expect anyone to forgive me and I understand if you are afraid of me or would rather never see me again: I shall do my utmost to be invisible to you. However, I shall not relent from helping LILITH as my love for humanity is unwavering and has never changed.

Most importantly, please do not hold any grudge towards others who have been corrupted. If you find yourself having negative thoughts towards them, such thoughts are misplaced. They are kind souls who sought to help me, and suffered as a result of it. They are amongst the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered and they in no way deserve to be treated poorly. Note this statement only partially apply to Silco. Though you should bear no grudge towards him for what transpired last month, I do not consider him to be a kind and beautiful soul.

Furthermore, I would like to put an end to some strange rumors that reached my ears. It is said I took people in relationship to assist me when I was corrupted. Well, just about every of the people I consider close to my heart are in relationships. It would have been more surprising had one of the seven guardians been someone not in a relationship. The pattern some of you may have observed is as such, not a pattern at all.

Lastly, I would like to issue a warning about those rifts. Please avoid them at all costs. Though I dare not presume your heart bears the seeds that could lead to an apocalyptic outcome, it is evident the potential for evil exists within us all. Rifts should be avoided entirely until we understand them better.


I am sorry for everything.

Y

Are you Astarion?!

[sanguivorous]

Ha! Did you send this message without knowing who it was going to?

Fortunately, my reputation proceeds me. Yes, I am he.

[queenofkur]

I
I knew

I simply hadn't put two and two together.
My apologies, I have been far less focused than usual.

Taryon spoke of you very highly.

[sanguivorous]

Don't worry about it. It was more amusing than offending.

Did he now? Care to elaborate?

[queenofkur]

He said you two are now a couple!
Knowing Taryon,
This can only mean you are an exceptional man!

[sanguivorous]

That we are, though I think you have high standards for Taryon's standards--except for when it comes to beauty, that is. I am rather fetching.

1/5

[queenofkur]

[ Beauty, huh? Let her click on his profile... ]

[queenofkur]

[ A man obviously, bad start.
Short hair, that's good.
White hair, not the greatest. ]

[queenofkur]

[ ... ... ... ... ... ]

[queenofkur]

[ Don't tell him he's not your type, you may hurt him. Just go along with a nod and a smile! ]

5/5

[queenofkur]

R
Right!

Taryon has quite the eye!

[sanguivorous]

[Wow, you're not his type either unless you were a custom made Tav or Durge but he can still appreciate the beauty!]

I would hate to see you try to lie in person if you're this bad over writing.

[queenofkur]

Heh?
I didn't lie!
Why would you say that?

[sanguivorous]

I
I wonder!

It's fine. I don't think I'm quite to Taryon's tastes, either, but it hasn't seemed to be an issue. Not sure what he sees in me if not my looks, but I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, now should I?

[queenofkur]

I
It is just the way I type!

The implant picks up my thoughts like that
You can look at my post history to confirm it!

[ It is true, though in fairness it's nearly always because she is hyper nervous so a lie isn't out there. ]

Nonsense.
If he's with you, you absolutely are his type.
This is how love works.
I know,
I have fallen for someone,
And their type has become my type
Even though before it wasn't.

[sanguivorous]

Hah, I suppose what you say is true. Taryon was most certainly not the type I would have gravitated to, but now I would happily murder everyone in this base if it meant he would be safe. Nothing personal, of course, I'm sure you're lovely you're not kidnapping people and trying to...you know, I'm not even sure what you were trying to do. It truly didn't matter to me, we all have our genocidal moments, after all.

How sweet. I hope it wasn't Taryon after his speech had such a healing impact on you.

[He teases. If that were the case he is rather sure she wouldn't be approaching their conversation as they were.]

[queenofkur]

I was trying to exterminate humanity.
Though I was not myself
And
And I am not sure we all have such moments?

[ That's kind of worrying if so! Does everyone have such impulses? She supposes humans can be annoying so it's tempting to eradicate them, b-but still! ]

No, it was not Taryon.
While he is a great friend,
I am afraid I never thought of him that way.
In fact, there are only two
three
people I ever thought of that way, even if only for a short moment.
