[Is he going to mention anything that happened during the power failures? Definitely not. Not when he could distract himself with something else. Anything else. And his voice now is as cheerful as it's ever been.]

Hey-o, Asgard! Super quick poll time. How many people here would skin me alive if given the chance?

[No reason. Actually, several reasons, but. He follows it with a laugh.]

Not that I'm volunteering... yet. But hypothetically. No consequences, no turnabout, just a good, straightforward flaying of Henrys!

...Or anyone, for that matter. If you could slaughter absolutely anyone here with absolutely no backlash, would you go for it? I mean, it's not like anything you do is gonna follow you back home, so you might as well go wild with it! Doesn't even have to be for any reason, though you can imagine one if you'd like. Maybe you're just curious as to how it feels! --It feels great, by the way.

I've asked before whether anyone had murdering experience, and was kinda surprised at the answer- but I'm wondering if that's changed at all for anyone, just from being here. A lot of folk haven't been in a war before, and I see a lot of people asking or offering lessons in fighting. Which is great and all, but how many have experience in killing? It's a totally different field! And it's kinda the one that counts when it comes down to it.

But getting back to the important question here: skinning of Henry, yes or no? I'll even return the favor, if you want, though I'm a little out of practice. But if anyone wants a gory death for any reason, I'm your guy!

I mean that there's obviously something going on in your world beyond just a convenient war if you haven't managed to get arrested for your "hobbies" yet.

Eh, my question is usually 'why would you join an army at all', so, no comment.

[necrowmantic]

Oh, I mostly just kill who I'm told to! I'm a good soldier. There only gets to be a problem when there's no more targets and I'm ordered to do something boring.

Hopefully that won't happen here!

[cons]

Oh. So- Okay.

[ she's convinced his world really is that messed up, yeah. where 'assassin' is synonymous with 'soldier' ]

You've managed to find a lot of people to target here, then?

voice;

[necrowmantic]

Yep! Well, giants mostly. I hope they invade again soon, it's convenient to have carnage on your doorstep! Are you looking forward to it too?

voice;

[cons]

Am I looking forward to giants? [ someone obvious hasn't been doing her homework ] Uh, no. Fighting giants sounds incredibly annoying. What's stopping them from just stomping on us and calling it a day?

voice;

[necrowmantic]

Oh, they're not that big. Not much bigger than me, at least the ones I've seen. I think they're just called giants! But they are kinda strong, tougher than your average human. They still splatter really well.

[ splatter ]

You would have a hell of a good time in Zombieland.

voice;

[necrowmantic]

Sounds like back home! Do you have undead stalking the fields back in your world too?

Aren't they great? The only thing better than getting to kill someone, is getting to do it again.

voice;

[cons]

Not just the fields, but yeah, kinda.

But that's not really how it works in my world.

voice;

[necrowmantic]

How does it work in your world, then? Angry necromancy, unholy dragon out to eradicate humanity?

Re: voice;

[cons]

Hah, no, no dragons or magic in my world either. Just a nasty virus that turns people into raging mad people-eaters. So, not really your textbook version of zombies, since they're not undead, but if it looks like a duck and sounds like a ducks...
