you're a grown man you could be informed too

i thought for sure that going to the people zoo once would have been enough to inform you of possible consequences

i see i was incorrect

[saintguillotine]

You've been here longer than me. There's only so much back reading of the network I can do.

I wasn't aware of the consequences for this particular incident. The public attempt to dispatch a vampire, I wasn't going to try again.

[goneforawalk]

i can't believe you're trying to blame me for your own trouble making, not everything bad that happens is my fault

this is actually the first in-network citation i've seen, they must have started cracking down harder than before on smaller incidents because i talked at length about how i'm a vampire hunter when i first arrived and nothing happened

though i also didn't have evidence of attacking anyone

[saintguillotine]

Alright, fine. I'll concede that you didn't know, and perhaps weren't in the position to know. It's just vexing. I was going out of my way to avoid such consequences.

It's a ridiculous charge, in any case; I shouldn't be given a twenty hour fine for a few words. It's entirely unfair. Not unexpected, but ridiculous and unfair.

[goneforawalk]

the next time i see you we can discuss how to avoid them better in less compromised privacy than these devices

look it's not like we have free speech here i'm not surprised they're very insistent on punishments for words

[saintguillotine]

There's no monitoring in this hotel besides our devices, according to Mr. Stark. We should take advantage.

Not unexpected, as I said. I wasn't anticipating this, but it doesn't surprise me that they're willing to go Orwellian on us.

[goneforawalk]

you're right, i did see that

a plus for this place at least. when would you like to talk

it's unsettling but very predictable

you missed the world war ii flashbacks at least

[saintguillotine]

Tomorrow afternoon. On the roof.

Considering when I arrived from, I wouldn't say I did. But I do count myself fortunate to have arrived post the fort.

[goneforawalk]

alright

well that was more world war iii if you think about it

it was just very short

[saintguillotine]

Not enough 'world' for it to qualify.

I never asked. How did the Major die? Painfully and pathetically, one hopes.

[goneforawalk]

semantics

integra killed him, i didn't see it but it was frustrating, according to her

apparently he was a cyborg

[saintguillotine]

he was a what

[And then a moment later:]

He was a cyborg? Care to elaborate?

[goneforawalk]

look i wasn't there i was busy being alive and dead at the same time

but that's how he survived so long without aging, he wasn't a vampire experiment, he was a cyborg

i guess he bled oil even

[saintguillotine]

I'd ask why he opted to become a machine over genetic alteration, but I doubt anyone can comprehend that little maniacs thought processes.

[He could make an educated guess, but the less he thinks on the Major, the better, since he has the knowledge the Vatican helped him achieve all that he did in the back of his mind.]

How does you being alive and dead at the same time work, exactly?

[goneforawalk]

i just wonder exactly when it happened, since he looked exactly like he did during the war

it's odd to explain

that weird kid, the one with cat ears? was schrodinger's cat, essentially

i ate him, so i became schrodinger's vampire

if i die, i only stay dead until the second i'm unobserved, then i come back

[saintguillotine]

[It's a long, long while before Anderson responds.]

While I would like to discuss your peculiar new existence further, I've just been informed of what exactly paying my fine entails.

[goneforawalk]

[ WHAT A LONG, SUSPICIOUS GAP. ]

it's weird sex stuff isn't it

i knew it

[saintguillotine]

There's nothing on here about contesting it. I'll seek out those lawyers that showed up on the network regardless.

[This doesn't look very hopeful, though.]

[goneforawalk]

see what they say, if they can help

if not we'll... figure something out

[saintguillotine]

If not, I'll live on the beach. The natives don't seem to like going down there.

[goneforawalk]

i think the police will be willing to go to the beach to arrest you for not paying your fine

[saintguillotine]

If I kill enough of them, they may think better of it. Have you managed to get your hands on any silver yet?

[goneforawalk]

remember: they can take our regeneration away

i haven't been able to yet, hopefully soon

[saintguillotine]

I remain a gruelling opponent even without the regeneration.

There's 30 calendar days for you to gather a supply. Preferably sooner than thirty days, since I'll need some time to forge the bayonets.

[goneforawalk]

they have a lot of guns to shoot you with from afar, father

i'll do what i can, but i don't think this plan will work
