text, @TARANTO, day after the saloon fire

[heavyhitter]

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

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
