Well, now. I should apologize for my behavior during that epidemic.

[Nessiah doesn't look too apologetic.]

I would prove that my eyes are a normal color, but that would be impossible, I'm afraid. So you'll simply have to take my word that I am in my right state of mind.

As for the rest of you... I hope you're not terribly injured or dead? If you are dead, please mention that to me here, I may have uses for you.

[If you want to assume that your character fought this scorpion-resurrecting asshole - because I am a failure at tagging logs - feel free!]

If I had known you had such a perverse mind, perhaps I wouldn't have thought to be concerned over your health. To clarify - there's no romance in necromancy. At least, I have no interest in that.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Oh! Necromancy! Obviously! You should have just said so instead of coming off as some skeevy sex pest.

[So... Nessiah was a necromancer, huh? That was surprising. Maybe. Santa hadn't thought much about what the kid (you heard him) was - apart from some kind of magician or something.]

So what are you interested in, Skeletor?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

[Stop that he just looks young hissss.]

I hadn't thought that would be your assumption...

Besides the reanimation of dead bodies to use as soldiers? I spend a fair amount of time reading the books here - there's an entire body of work that I've never encountered before, by virtue of being on a completely different world.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Are you the leader of an evil organization or something? I mean, really, raising bodies as soldiers? Come on, man...

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

I am a general, but I would hardly call the army of Bronquia evil, and Emperor Gulcasa is in charge. Wrong on two counts.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

[Yeah - a general pain in the ass. Am I right, guys?!]

Well I can't really say that raising the dead makes you evil, so I'm not gonna press that issue.

I was just kidding, anyway. A kid like you probably lacks the stones to be an evil overlord, right?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

[He sighs, and then answers in an annoyed tone.] How old do you think I am?

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Old enough to know better.

[What does that even mean???]

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

Older than your apparent age by three orders of magnitude.

[I heard you like math kid :| ]

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

[Oooh maths oooh wait what Santa assumed this kid was older than the average human, but he doesn't have any real numbers in mind. He'd guess 12 if it would get the best reaction, though, but it seemed too late for that. Now was the time for a snappy comeback.]

Who the fuck cares? You look like a prepubescent girl.

[nailed it]

Re: [Audio]

[grancenturio]

[Tch.]

Consider that I look like a prepubescent girl, am wearing chains and clothes that have never been in style here, and still manage to be more put together than you. Really, it may be the first time that I have ever considered giving anyone advice on their fashion.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

I am a stylish dude, little boy.

[Seriously. Tank tops, black trousers and scarfs all over the place will never go out of style.]

Besides some people are into guys who look like girls, so that doesn't really have an impact on the fact that you look like a bag lady dressed you.

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

As if that would concern me in the slightest. If it has my concern, I doubt 'stylish' is the right word to use...

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Smokin' hot, then.

What are the chains even for, by the way? Did you spring yourself from a high security soup kitchen?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

No.

The Chains of Conviction? They're as they sound. A punishment for a convict.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

And the eye thing, is that the same deal?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

While it wouldn't have been below them to take out my eyes, no, I ripped those out willingly.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

[ . . . ]

That's pretty hardcore. Didn't you think "Oh shit what if I go blind?" or anything like that?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

They were necessary trades.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Do you mean an eye for an eye? Metaphorically speaking, I mean.

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

In the end I think an eye for the ability to master my own magic was a trade that ended up entirely in my favor. Permanent disfigurement is hardly as bad as it seems. And I am quite good at scaring small children around this time of year... [He chuckles.]

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Well shit; you can make jokes. I tend to forget you can do that sort of thing.

[Hm. He has a lot of stuff he wants to ask but there'll be time for that later, right??? One question does spring to mind, though. ]

So were you ever blind? I mean can you see right now? How does that even work?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

You wound me deeply.

Sight spells are not as difficult as they would seem. I have experienced blindness - there are areas in which casting magic is difficult, and I have had to fight blind in order to be able to fight at all. But it's thankfully rare.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Well you don't strike me as the kind of guy who would fumble around in the dark when he couldn't see, so can I assume you're okay at fighting blind when you have to?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

When I have to, yes.
