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

[saintguillotine]

Well, what would you suggest?

[goneforawalk]

well

i'm the one responsible for your behavior

[ as gross as it is, as uncomfortable as it is, maybe they'll let alucard take his place for real. he doesn't. want to. but. ]

[saintguillotine]

[A pause.]

I highly doubt they'd let you take my place.

[Another, longer pause. That Alucard would willingly put himself through such humiliation for his sake makes him feel pretty low about the direction their conversation took earlier.]

I'm responsible for my own behaviour. I shouldn't have tried to put the blame on you.

[goneforawalk]

they want someone to do it, i doubt they'll much care who since we're contracted

in their eyes you were right, anyway: it's my responsibility to keep you in line and i failed at it

that said, there has to be some way out of it

[saintguillotine]

Given how fervent they are about contracts and obligations, I do still very much doubt it. And you haven't failed at anything. Despite where we are, I have autonomy; you're not at fault for allowing me that.

We'll see. I'm sure I'll manage something.

[goneforawalk]

it's still odd to me that a network post gets twenty hours

i wonder if perhaps someone could take up the whole twenty hours and have it still count

[saintguillotine]

Perhaps they're upset with my prior, slightly more notable transgressions.

Alucard, while I'm less opposed to you than the natives, I'm not much more thrilled by the prospect of having sex with you for twenty hours than I am the rest of Duplicity's population.

[goneforawalk]

one: hurtful

two: that's not what i meant

it doesn't have to be sex does it you just have to be 'available' and if i take that availability for my own somehow whether it's sex or not that's still following the rules

[saintguillotine]

And what will you do if they expect you to do something with that availability? Sit in my lap and hope for the best?

[goneforawalk]

maybe my kink is sitting on priest's laps they don't know

it's none of their business

[saintguillotine]

That probably is your kink. Should it come to that, I'll permit you to sit in my lap, since you're trying to be helpful rather than lecherous.

[goneforawalk]

i'm particular about my priests

it's very difficult for me to not be lecherous so i'll just say good it's a deal

[saintguillotine]

You could have left it at 'it's a deal'. Try not to make those twenty hours more awkward than they need to be.

[goneforawalk]

you should know me well enough by now to know i can't leave well enough alone

i'll be good :)

[ somehow that's even more ominous. ]

[saintguillotine]

Somehow the smiley face doesn't inspire confidence. If you do actually need to do more than simply sit in my lap at some point, just warn me prior.

All of this is assuming I can't get the citation withdrawn, of course.

[goneforawalk]

it's not meant to honestly

if you can, then good

if not then just let me know where and when
