[WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL]

Excuse me, are you STALKING ME?

[liverletdie]

Not you, no.

I am, however, very good at finding things out when they relate to me.

[adamantlyardent]

That reads very sinister, I'll have you know.
Regardless, I stand by what I said: anyone WILLING to go out of their way to these nonsense swear-ins is a fool. You included.

[liverletdie]

What, you've never been to a swear-in where bad things happen? It's every time.

You accept the danger for a little bit of fun and facetime.

[adamantlyardent]

I've heard the horror stories and I quite ENJOY living and not being almost or actually murdered, thank you very much.
Can't you, famous and popular and all, purchase your own fun without the risk to your health?

[liverletdie]

Sure, but this is free.

Besides, I recovered pretty nicely. No scars from the bites or anything.

[adamantlyardent]

And that is something you'd constitute as "fun."

[liverletdie]

The drinks were good, and also free.

You don't make money without saving money, you know.

[adamantlyardent]

Frankly, sir, you are just one more thing in this absurd little world filled up with tropes and notions that seem more suited to fiction than truth.
I'm aware my opinions are in the minority in this, so I'll hardly waste any more time sharing it, lest you hunt me down where I sleep to bother me.

[liverletdie]

Wait.

[liverletdie]

You. You are calling Me a trope more suited to fiction?

You?

[adamantlyardent]

Is this the part where you chortle and remark on how quaint that is?

[liverletdie]

No it's just funny.

I would have said the same thing about you.

[adamantlyardent]

My condolences. It can't be enjoyable literature.

[liverletdie]

What, you're not saying you had a bad life, are you?

[adamantlyardent]

I refuse to believe you'd find anything I lived through at all worthwhile or interesting.

[liverletdie]

I think that you would be surprised by what I find interesting or worthwhile.

I did spend some time in King Arthur's court, you know. I have lived lives that aren't anything like my own.

[adamantlyardent]

The novelty theme park and restaurant in Heropa?

[liverletdie]

That's a cheap knock-off of the real thing.
In my world, it actually happened. Camelot, Sword in the lake, and all.

[adamantlyardent]

How much of that time was spent belittling the culture compared to your so-much-better scientific sensibilities?

[liverletdie]

Well, I've been there multiple times, and most of it I was trying to get back...

But not much. This may surprise you, but I actually made friends. To be fair, I had to help save us from Morgan le Fay...

Besides, I couldn't really do much "advanced science" until I won their trust that I wasn't a witch.

[adamantlyardent]

You're right: I am surprised.
I'm also reminded to not trust everything I read.

[liverletdie]

About which thing? King Arthur? It's all legends anyway, the only way to really know what happened is to live through it.

[adamantlyardent]

And scoff at the stories, right?

[liverletdie]

No, I mostly do that to get a rise out of people when they're not listening.
