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!]

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.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

That's good to hear, I suppose. I'd hate to have to go out of my way as a caring member of society to look out for you in a moment of need.

[You can guess how much he would actually go out of his way to help , though.]

So you didn't bring your eyes with you? I guess you could prove your eye colour that way.

[Which is a statement that causes Santa to take a brief pause.]

Why would you need to prove the colour of your eyes?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

Those Scorpios affected by this matter temporarily changed eye color to gold or red. My eyes are naturally blue. Therefore, if you saw them, you could be sure that I wouldn't try to kill you without a good reason for it.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Oh I guess I totally overlooked that, but if it helps then I don't trust anybody here not to try and kill me at all.

Apart from maybe Snake and Junpei.

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

Friends of yours from home?

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

You're half right; I'd say that Snake was my mutual friend but Junpei probably doesn't share the sentiment much.

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

Close enough and better than nothing. I'd say I missed some of my own friends, but they've all died recently.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

Not that I'm trying to be a jerkass here; but does that even matter to you?

I mean can't you bring them back to life anyway?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

One might wish for your friends to be completely under your control. In practice, however, it's less fun than it seems and far more depressing.

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

I dunno, I found it pretty rewarding.

[he laughs. He's kidding, obviously.

Or is he????]

Seriously though, that sucks. I guess thems the breaks when you live to be over nine thousand.

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

Mm. Even the average person will say that war is hell.

[It's a shame he has to start so many of them.]

[Audio]

[getoutclaus]

The average person wouldn't have to take part in war though, would they?

[Audio]

[grancenturio]

Most people know at least one person who's been in the army. And for those unlucky enough to be in the path of an invading army, things are far worse.
