Curiosity

[acid_rayne]

Anyone get any proof it wasn't just our regular Admiral doing this, all along?

'Cause, y'know... He/she/it/they do this sort of thing a lot.

That thing we fought? Was not the Admiral.

[acid_rayne]

How'd you know?

[batmanschmatman]

Because I know what we fought and I know what the Admiral feels like, and that was not him.

[acid_rayne]

'Feels like'...?

[batmanschmatman]

It wasn't him. Believe what you want, but you weren't there.

[acid_rayne]

This isn't exactly helping to fill in the blanks for the rest of us...

[batmanschmatman]

Do you want a detailed report or something?

[acid_rayne]

Hey, all I asked was how people know for sure and you're saying it was all touchy-feely, man.

[batmanschmatman]

Yes, the Admiral molested me, that's exactly what I meant. You seriously don't have some sense of what he's supposed to be like? Don't you remember talking with him to end up on this stupid boat?

[acid_rayne]

Yeah, but only something vague and fuzzy. Never had anything specific.

Also, I'm so quoting you...

[batmanschmatman]

Look, I get that you're trying to be edgy or funny or something, but I've been through hell these last couple days, and I'm not really up to molestation jokes.

Flagg was just... a lot more malevolent. And something else came to the bridge and kicked us off, after the other guys found the Admiral. I've had enough experience with the supernatural to know they weren't the same creature.

[acid_rayne]

You're the one who brought it up.

Meh... Can't say I ever got a fun and happy vibe from the Admiral, either. Guess I'll have to chalk this one up as 'unknown'.

[batmanschmatman]

Alright, don't believe us.

[acid_rayne]

I believe you experienced something. Whether it's what you thought it was, I just plain don't know.

I was jaded as hell before I arrived. Now I'm more of a cynic than ever. Seen too many mindfuck games played out around here to take things on faith.

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

I highly doubt he would have made himself suffer for something like this. I've seen him; I was one of those who found him.

[acid_rayne]

Yeah? What do they look like?

I wouldn't hold out much hope for accuracy, considering how much of our entire existence here is a conjuring trick.

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

...I seem to be as unable to describe him as every warden who has met him, but I distinctly remember him looking rather bad.

[acid_rayne]

What made you sure it was male?

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

I would assume his looks. Considering that the other wardens are content to refer to him as male, I don't see what's so important about that.

[acid_rayne]

Well, you know what they say about assumptions.

Besides, I wouldn't think you'd want that logic to be applied to you... You should see some the names you get called, man.

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

I think if the Admiral actually cared, he'd probably state outright what... they are.

And I do believe the Conqueror of Yssgaroth or the Patris of the Vortex can look past such immaturity. [As long as you don't insult him while he listens. Then he'll try to vaporize you for it.]

[acid_rayne]

The...

Excuse me, the what?

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

The Conqueror of Yssgaroth? The Patris of the Vortex? I do have more titles than that, if you want to hear those as well.

[acid_rayne]

No, I'm all laughed-out after those two, thanks!

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

The Yssgaroth weren't quite as ridiculous as their names, though, unfortunately.

[hourglass-twin.livejournal.com]

If it was, his recent post was impressive acting. Of course, I suppose that says nothing one way or the other, and I...missed the end of the incident, so don't know about any revelations toward the conclusion.

[acid_rayne]

Yeah, sorry about the... Death and stuff.

Look on it as an incentive to graduate.

Again...

[hourglass-twin.livejournal.com]

Perhaps if I'd had a bit more power, I could have altered events.

[acid_rayne]

Remember how I said you have to earn it, first?

[hourglass-twin.livejournal.com]

I did attack the faceless creatures. I believe that should count as an act of heroism?

[acid_rayne]

The term you're looking for is 'self-interest'...

[hourglass-twin.livejournal.com]

Does it matter why I did it if it would have been good for everyone had I succeeded?

[acid_rayne]

Yes.

One's for a cause. The other's accidental. Just like how I wouldn't punish you if you'd unintentionally harmed someone.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I trust the Admiral just about as much as I can throw him-and the same goes for whatever was the 'new arrival'.

[acid_rayne]

Seeing that come from you has to rate as one of my all-time most unexpected responses.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I don't see why it's unexpected. I don't trust anybody too much. After all, why would a god of mischief trust people?

[acid_rayne]

You've got a history of siding with chaos, let's say.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

When it benefits me.

[acid_rayne]

Exactly...

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

This chaos? I'm a warden now Rayne, I'm supposed to be respectable. Besides, it got boring after a while.

[acid_rayne]

Colour me sceptical.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I'd be worried if you weren't.
