... Mongrels, how funny~.

And just what do you suppose the 'deities' are trying to tell you~? Other than 'sit', or 'heel'...

[beyourarmy]

Do you really think they're telling us something in these curses? Or just being funny about it?

[council_king]

Both~.

[beyourarmy]

The idea the deities might be sending messages in the curses is kinda creepy. And you're kinda an ass, but that's beside the point.

[council_king]

Disturbed, pup? Why...

[beyourarmy]

I just didn't think of that before. And I wonder why kind of messages they're trying to send.

Either way, I'm not gonna stay or rollover, or whatever they want me to do. That probably won't end well.

[council_king]

What... you think you hold your leash? How rich~

You're here aren't you, like a good obedient pet.

[beyourarmy]

And what does that make you?

Besides, it's not like I've tried to leave, yet.

[council_king]

The wolf at the door, of course. They make exciting playmates~.

[beyourarmy]

So what are you doing about it? You trying to tell me you're here just because you're having fun? That you can waltz out of this place and go home anytime you want?

[council_king]

And why would I want to go home when I have such delicious incentive to stay~?

[beyourarmy]

What incentive is that? The deities as a some sort of adversary? Sounds dumb to me. I'd rather just go home.

[council_king]

Just as well. Pawns aren't needed.

[beyourarmy]

Whatever.

You stay here and play games with the deities, or whatever it is you're doing. I'm going to find a way home!

[council_king]

[Clearly the thing he's speaking to doesn't learn. But then, people are happiest in their delusions.]

Run along then.

[ Who the HELL are you talking to? ]

[ D: ]

COMMENT ALSO NOT HERE

[beyourarmy]

[Didn't know you cared, Karl. Might wanna warn me if you have a problem.]

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, I'm sure there's a good number of dogs here with marvellous pedigrees.

[Shit...disturbing....]

[council_king]

Are you? And your basis of comparison is what...

[indecent_butterfly]

Most don't usually think that far. Nor care.

[council_king]

That's where the difference is. Short sighted, short lived weak things. They have no foresight~.

[indecent_butterfly]

One does suppose having an average life span of 80 or so will do that. Life has to be lived in the present more than the future.

[council_king]

And what can you reap if you don't sow seeds for the future~?

[indecent_butterfly]

Old age and regrets?

[council_king]

You misunderstand... thinking I don't enjoy the moment. I only make it worth enjoying.

[indecent_butterfly]

And so it should be.

So, is your...seed growing well enough?

[council_king]

Seeds... and well enough. It's good, this game.

[indecent_butterfly]

Most games are as long as you're the one writing the rules. Playing by others' is the bore.

[council_king]

No, the prize is everything~. The rules, the cost are not important.

[indecent_butterfly]

And what is the prize in your game this time?

[council_king]

Power of course. [Encryption against a 'deity' is a foolish measure, so he doesn't bother.] I'll be unstoppable.

[indecent_butterfly]

Oh. [Ne's not really all that interested in power.}

If that is truly what you wish for, then One does hope you win this game of yours.
