hey guys guess what: blankets!!! me and TF to the fucking rescue, we rustled up like 40 of these bad boys
super cozy, some nice patterns. one of them has a robot wolf on it
it was also all entirely legal

they're ALMOST free, all you gotta do is tell me a story then come get one (i'm by those spiky ass fat plants that bleed if you knock them over)

also since i have 40 and there's more than 40 of us, i guess also pick someone to get cozy with

Excellent.
I am interested to see what type of "pretty good fucking" blanket might accompany it.

[Mark as: something he would've never said aloud but just kind of slips through the communication as he thinks it. Oops. That was not dignified.]

Such tragedies are often out of our hands. Where the true worth is is in how one reacts to such a thing. Some people might have been crushed by the loss. Others deny it, or ignore a plain truth, in order to shield themselves from pain. And still others would seek revenge.
What is it that makes one individual go down one path when another would do differently? That is the most fascinating thing about this to me.

[heavyhitter]

you didn't put the quotes around enough of that now it looks like you want a blanket to help you fuck better

anyway
got a real literary approach there huh. i guess it's easy to keep that if it's just a story

[thornydisposition]

What—
I - beg your pardon.

[Ramir, have mercy, the guy's got the human maturity of a toddler currently...]

I've been observing the lives of humans for a very long time. Such an approach is something that comes along naturally with such a thing.

[heavyhitter]

yeah i guess so
what are you, anyway?

[thornydisposition]

It is rather direct of you to ask.

[heavyhitter]

haha i know right
so? some kinda deer ghost?

[thornydisposition]

[This is the one subject he really doesn't like discussing.

No.
I am flesh and blood. I am no ghost.

[The "deer" thing is up in the air, even though his face was more canid in nature.]

[heavyhitter]

ok so are we going to do the thing where i just list a bunch of stuff and you tell me if you're that or not
because it'd be a lot faster if you just told me

[thornydisposition]

Perhaps. You might, at some point, say the correct answer.

[Not that he'd know the difference.

There is a pause, and fortunately the jewelry doesn't transcribe his audible sigh.]

The truth is that I do not have an answer for you.

[heavyhitter]

uh what
why not

[thornydisposition]

[Vexation.]

I do not know the answer.
At least, not in exact terms.

[heavyhitter]

ok clearly i should have phrased that better so we can get away from these super shitty answers, we'll call that one my bad

why the fuck don't you know what you are

[thornydisposition]

[Admittedly anyone attempting to pry information from him on this particular topic is going to be pulling teeth.]

I... am unsure of how to answer that.

I do not remember where I came from. At one point I became cognizant of my existence, though I know I existed before that point. It is... very difficult to remember anything from before that.
I have some trappings of humans and fae, but I am neither.
Therefore, as I have no conclusive answer, all I can say is that I do not know.

[heavyhitter]

oh
alright

that's kinda fucked up though

[thornydisposition]

[...True, but, alas.]

It is as it is.
I learned a very long time ago to merely accept it and move forward.

[heavyhitter]

ok well kudos on that i guess
best way to be
