Bring me yer dead and dying, Admiral. I should like to laugh in Sparrow's face one last time before surrendering to your eternal hell.


...He is dead, is he not?

It is my choice not to feel. I tore my heart out decades ago.

Girl, I do not need yeh here to lecture me.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Maybe not, but apparently she needs me to lecture you. Me or not me, she's just a kid. Leave her alone.

[madeofplants]

I do not know... how such a thing... is possible. I never had... a beating heart.

[tentacruelest]

Don't tell me what to do, brat.

[Jones was full intending to leave Steph alone, but he rankles on being given orders]

[tentacruelest]

They're overrated.

[ichoosefight]

Don't make me come over there. I frickin' hate that place.

[madeofplants]

[ He grunts noncommittally, though with his voice it sounds very much like wind through a forest. ]

[tentacruelest]

An' they only cause pain, once they're done buildin' yeh up.

You ain't missing much.

[tentacruelest]

Come, then. I invite yeh.

[madeofplants]

It seems... a great deal... of trouble... for an organ.

[ichoosefight]

Hell no, not if I can avoid it. I know what that place does to people.

[tentacruelest]

All it's done t'me is wish for death and what comes after.

[tentacruelest]

Aye, it is.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah. Sometimes it does that to the wardens too.

[madeofplants]

[ He makes that noncommittal creaking sound again. ]

[tentacruelest]

Have yeh nothing of worth to say, Earth creature?

[tentacruelest]

The wardens have a choice.

[ichoosefight]

Choice isn't black and white. Your options can be limited until all of your choices suck, even if you aren't physically forced into it.

[madeofplants]

I am still... learning about... what I am.

[ So he's a little preoccupied with his own thoughts. ]

[tentacruelest]

Yer a creature not fit to walk among humans. Take that and keep it to yerself.

[tentacruelest]

That's called life, girl. But hard choice though it may be, it wasn't taken from them!

[madeofplants]

[ Oh? What is that? A smile? ]

I don't think... Abby would... approve... if I did.

[ichoosefight]

You think so? Then let me ask you this. Is the choice between wardening and not existing anymore actually a choice?

[tentacruelest]

Yes, it is.
