You asked why I told anyone. Guy asked if I was likely to cover for people on my old team if they wanted to murder.

[ he was just answering the question actually ]

[frostythehitman]

...and? What did you say?

[skyagain]

Same as it was in the Realm. You guys wanna do stupid shit, don't involve me in it.

[frostythehitman]

Smart.

I hope that means I can trust you not to do any killing either.

[skyagain]

I don't think you should trust anyone on that front. Heard about what actually happened with Sieghart?

[frostythehitman]

Yeah. Looks like our own thoughts and decisions might get thrown out the window.

[skyagain]

And we don't know if killing just once is enough for those, or if the only way to get the shadows out is to catch whoever it is.

[frostythehitman]

Knowing our luck, it'll be the latter. Or even a third, worse option.

[skyagain]

Like winding up in the death hotel isn't our third, worse option to begin with? It's only downhill from here.

[frostythehitman]

Yeah...but there's always more rungs down the ladder. More ways to go downhill once you're already at the bottom.

[skyagain]

[ okay, look. he gets what bucky is saying. but on the other hand ]

... Of the ladder?

[ that metaphor got away from bucky maybe. ]

[frostythehitman]

...sure. You can have ladders along the side of a hill.

[skyagain]

...

[ just a judgmental look ]


... Right.

[frostythehitman]

I never said I was a poet.

[skyagain]

Don't think anyone would ever think to call you that.

[frostythehitman]

Maybe not a poet, but giving rousing speeches used to be a big part of my job.

[skyagain]

... Really?

[frostythehitman]

When I wasn't on the battlefield, I was giving speeches to boost morale and raise war funds.

[skyagain]

And it actually worked?

[frostythehitman]

Sure did. Netted a lot of war bonds, led like four different youth groups for the war effort...

It's not why I got the job to start with, but I did it damn well anyway.

[skyagain]

So... you were basically a war poster boy?

[frostythehitman]

When I wasn't being a soldier first, I guess you could call it that, yeah.
