[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!

Oh. [That went in ways he wasn't expecting at all. On one hand. He doesn't want Davesprite to think he's just a stand in. It's been three years since SBURB. Davesprite had his own life. He couldn't take Davesprite's place. He didn't know what the other has gone through or how he feels. It would be presumptuous of him. On the other hand, he's not gonna let some whacko he just met try and kill him. Definitely don't wanna meet Henry in a shady alleyway.

As much I love my bird bro, I'm gonna have to politely decline. I've kind of kicked the bucket before, and you'd be surprised that it doesn't make either of any more real or fake. It just kind of makes one of us dead.

I'm not really fond of the idea of getting cut to pieces. I might be allergic to it.

Have you ever even tried a bit of casual dismembering? 'Cause I'm reeeeally good at it, you won't regret it- not for long, anyway! Or is that how you bit it last time? I can try something different in that case! But if you're absolutely sure, and Davesprite would be mad at me too... geez, I really thought this would work.

[He sighs, though it's still more friendly than at all exasperated.]

I'll just have to come up with something else!

No, not really. [They set off a bomb. So maybe he blew up into pieces? That...is a thought he isn't going to humor. Goodbye thoughts. He is going to move on.] As much as I'd love to help him out, me dying probably won't actually change how he feels or thinks.

And from what I can guess from the nature of this place, even if I personally died permanently, that doesn't stop another Dave to get pulled in.

Don't worry, man. I believe in you. It sounds like you really know how to think out of the box.

Aw, thanks! But I'm just trying to help out a crowkid. I kind of owe him for the fantastic death.

[Also the whole 'being friends' thing but that's weird and emotion-related.]

So how'd you die, huh? I love death stories, they give me great ideas! But don't worry, I won't try to use them on you.

[Probably.]

[Dave isn't even gonna ask. He is under the impression that death is positively Henry's favorite thing. Like, that's what his craigslist ad would be. Must like death or talking about it.]

I appreciate that. I'm not a fan of dying the same way more than once. I'm not really a fan of dying though. Blew up. I think. [He assumes it was a bomb. Man, who even knows.] And then I came out of a sun. That probably was one of the most nonsensical things I've said in awhile.

Do you remember much about it? Did you see pieces of yourself flying off? 'Cause blowing up sounds awesome, but then I started thinking that maybe it was too quick. Unless someone recorded it for ya, you might miss out on the whole thing!

But coming out of a sun- how does THAT work, are you horribly burned? --Can I see??

No and no. I really hate to disappoint you, but there aren't any nitty gritty details I can give you. Probably not your favorite death story.

[He almost feels bad that he has nothing to show to Henry.] Fuck if I know. A lot of the things that happened doesn't make a lot of sense.

Naw, I'm clean. I think when we came out, it was like a one-up in a game. Start off with a clean slate.
