[The voice that comes on is light and cheerful and opens with a laugh.]

Hey hey- quick question guys. So I've talked to a few people over the past couple weeks, and I'm getting the idea that a lot of you aren't too keen on the whole 'murdering your fellow man' thing. Which totally surprises me, since I thought we were pulled here to murder things! Or fight a war, I guess.

So this is a little informal poll!

Uh- how many of you have killed someone before? Of your own species, or close enough! Cold blood, warm blood, lots of blood- method or reason don't really matter.

If you want to give details, that'd be awesome.

--I guess I should start, though, huh? I've killed loads of people. Like a lot! [More laughter.] Buuut my world's had at least two wars just in my lifetime, so there's never been any shortage of targets, nya ha ha!

Okay, your turn!

[You can't see it, Henry, but Altaïr is raising an eyebrow at this communique. Really high.]

You speak easily of taking the lives of men.

voice;

[necrowmantic]

I guess so! It's not really a big deal?

[necrowmantic]

Oh, awesome. Like, with your own hands? 'Cause I'm pretty good at killing, but I don't know how long it'd take me to manage an entire world.

[gymnast]

How do you sound so happy about that? Killing people isn't a good thing. [ Even if it's for protection, it's not good. ]

voice;

[necrowmantic]

Aw, I'm just a naturally happy guy! I'm not saying it's good- or bad, or anything. It's not a deal at all for me, it's just fun.

I'm guessing you're one of the non-murderous folk?

[sharingone]

Shinobi kill people for a living.

[necrowmantic]

Like a mercenary, huh? Cool, and you're one of these guys?

[video]

[prazerbutterfly]

Hope you're staying in trouble, kiddo.

[Griiiiin.] I've killed lots of people. Over a hundred in a day at some points. If it is not with my own hands, I like to use these. [He raises a finger and his pet Tease balances upon it. The purple colored butterfly opens and closes its wings methodically.]

[video]

[necrowmantic]

Not enough! I've barely seen any blood since I got here!

But woooow you must be really good! [He laughs; a crow on his shoulder seems intrigued at the butterfly's edibility.] But how do you kill something with butterflies? Do you summon a whole bunch and they choke people to death?

[soulcontracts]

[ HA HA HA Johannes is answering this from a cell in prison.... ]

The gods don't take too kindly to us murdering each other. Even with permission.

[video]

[necrowmantic]

Ehh why not? That doesn't make any sense!

[Admiring the bars, wondering if there's cool tortures to go along with it.]

Is that what you did?

[video]

[averagemedium]

One more for the 'never done it' side of the fence. I mean, I dealt with ghosts, and morality and legality aside-- I really didn't need to go adding more of those to the house. And they can be pretty damned vengeful when they feel like it, they've got time.

[His nose wrinkles a bit.]

You get a bit sick of murder from the other side of it. What's fun for you is a pain in the ass for people like me.

[video]

[necrowmantic]

True, hard to have any shortage of dead people, nya ha! But hey, at least your career's safe?

And aw, I don't think I could get sick of dead things from any side! But if you don't like dealing with ghosts, why'd you do it?

man youre such a fucked up guy
but yeah the thing about war is true enough
its kind of weird if you think about it
how many people the gods have apparently snatched up who dont know shit about combat let alone organized warfare

filtered;

[necrowmantic]

That's not the nicest thing to say! ...Even if it is true. Nya ha!

But yeah, that's what surprised me! I got yoinked from one war to another, and expected to find myself in the middle of some cool foreign army. But there's, uh. Not much.

Private

[tradingsecrets]

I've taken lives before, but only because if I didn't I would have died myself.

Private

[necrowmantic]

Hey, makes sense. That's what any reasonable animal does!

What about this war thing? That's a liiittle more proactive.

Filtered

[timaeus_testified]

It's an interesting point, most people here seem more inclined to argue than to do what needs done.
Makes you wonder if the gods really have control over who they select.
Aside from that you're a fucked up guy, why are you so focused on killing?
I don't think you ever answered that.

Filtered

[necrowmantic]

And have there been any training exercises? I'm not big on them myself, but they happened ALL THE TIME back in my old army.

But yeah. This is not how I'd run a campaign. Unless I wanted to lose, nya ha!

And eh, I dunno, I just really like death! I do get that it's sort of weird.

[bloodypocket]

You are in the minority when it comes to killing for the pleasure of it, it seems. It could bring you unwanted attention if you handle the matter inappropriately.

filtered;

[necrowmantic]

Sure seems that way! But I'm not gonna start leaving trails of bodies in the street or anything! ...Not yet anyway.

trying to make friends with similar interests?

[necrowmantic]

That'd be pretty cool, wouldn't it?

Wanna be one of them?

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

I've fought in a war. Are you saying you enjoyed it?

[ Okay, so he kind of did too, but. In a different way. He wasn't gleeful about killing, he just really liked the danger of it. ]

[Voice]

[necrowmantic]

Sure did! Went out of my way to get involved, even.

[Video]

[foodshortage]

If you are looking for a connection between how many one has killed and how much they enjoy such, I do not believe you shall find one.

[Video]

[necrowmantic]

Oh, I'm not looking for things like connections. I'm not good at serious things like that. I just wondered if it was really so uncommon that no one's killed!

[redhourglass]

You get off on this, don't you?

[necrowmantic]

Aw, not really. I just think it's fun!

What about you?

[thehedgehogsdilemma]

[Man. He won't even question/judge you, Henry. ...Not yet, at least. heh.]

...

They asked me to kill them.

private

[necrowmantic]

Did ya? I got asked to kill things too, all the time!

Isn't it great?

voice;

[integrous]

[ Asahi listens to all of this, but.. her breath stops for a moment. What is he even going on about, how can he laugh after saying he killed people like that?! ]

A-are you some sort of soldier?! [ Her voice shakes a little, but it sounds mostly shocked. ]

voice;

[necrowmantic]

[He just laughs again, cheerfully as ever.]

Sure am! Quickest way to find enough carnage, right?

[chronologistics]

[Wow, he is so not touching this topic.]

man
i liked it better when people were using this thing for vague questions and shitty memes

[necrowmantic]

Sorry, I was just curious!

People really aren't up for a rousing discussion of death, I guess.
