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?

I didnae threaten her.

...Did you threaten her friends?

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

Some slight little boy with a large dog. I killed him.

[ichoosefight]

Oh for Christ sake. [ FACEPALMING SO HARD. ]

Okay. This is by no means strategical advice, because it definitely won't get you what you want. But it took me a really long time to learn how to fight for someone else and myself at the same time. Attacking someone else is like attacking her but worse.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I was a bit preoccupied at the moment. I don't oft stop to think about how my killing affects others as I'm killing 'em.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Well that's why you got your ribs broken. Mystery solved.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

It was no mystery!

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

See, that was sarcasm, because it was just so painfully obvious why you're getting in fights with teenaged vigilantes when you go around killing people without giving it any thought.

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.

[tentacruelest]

Don't tell me what to do, brat.

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

[ichoosefight]

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

[tentacruelest]

Come, then. I invite yeh.

[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.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah. Sometimes it does that to the wardens too.

[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.

[tentacruelest]

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

[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.

[ichoosefight]

Then you're a hell of a lot more suicidal than most people.

[tentacruelest]

I am old. My time is done. I wish to rest.

[ichoosefight]

[ She sighs, her expression sympathetic. ]

I wish I could help you. I really do. But trust me, lashing out at people isn't going to get you to your peace any faster.

[tentacruelest]

I know that, girl! You needn't tell me.
