Where are you? I will show you how to eat! I will bathe in dust of your ruin!

Tell me coward! You taunt like a small child. Can you back it up like adult?

Face me!

Just so The Paramancer won't give live birth here on the Opnet, let me send you a PM with a location were you and I can go at it without interference. I'm not afraid of a freak like you, little boy. Come if you dare.

Wait, you're weak and cowardly. I'll bring a book. I expect to be disappointed.

What the hell?

Are you kidding? I want tickets for this! Both of you have had my head hitting the keyboard since you popped into this thread.

I'd like to see this myself.

How about sad and over too quickly (as in one of their lives is over too quickly)?

What, now you're worried?

You were all ready to call a group known for disappearing novas to "deal with the problem", and now you're worried about him? A little late for that, don't you think?

As for Emerald, she's a big girl. If she can taunt someone on the Internet who's a known nova, she can handle the consequences.

GAAAAH! Emerald! What are you doing!?

Oh, man, I hope she knows what she's doing. There's playing with fire, then there's taking a gasoline bath and lighting up a cigarette.

Paramanter, its never to late to reach out to the living. Its only too late when they are dead.

Mind you, a nova comes up to me and says "I kill and eat people", I'm going to call the people whose job it is to protect me from such hazards. That's common sense.

It's Paramancer, and I already did my reaching out. Don't worry about that.

Dustbin wants to go it alone, that's ultimately his choice. Emerald wants to go taunting novas on websites knowing that they're novas and assuming it's no biggie, that's her choice. I care a lot, but there are limits, just like everyone else.

You will live longer with that attitude. You can only really save those who want to be saved.

If the girl wanted to do this ... oh well. I hadn't planned on meeting her all that soon anyway. What can you do?

I go out in the field to work and this happens. Oh Christ.

It's like watching a trainwreck in slow motion.

And you people mock me. You sit here and chat with a cannibal and one who encourages cannibalism.

Disgusting.

Oh, thank the Gods, Alptraum's here. Because it's just been that kind of day all around. Now if only I'd thought to save Liberteen's handy applicable smiley.

Handy applicable smiley?

Found it!

Nice!

That one is so fitting.

Oh joy. He's spread his cheer and good will to every corner of the site.

"Cheer and goodwill"? Say no more, gov, say no more! Nudge nudge, wink wink, yeah? Bet it's right cheerful, innit? Yer a canny one, mate, that you are! A nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat, say no more, say no more!

Anyone heard anything, yet?

Here's a question it doesn't look like anyone has bothered to ask.

Dustbin, can you consume the ashes of animals?

Chimera....it's really a moot point, since whether or not he has the ABILITY to eat animals, he clearly has no predilection to do so.

Actually, that'd just make him more dangerous, since he'd be able to lay low for long periods of time, only to strike again at a later date.

So Dustbin, what happened on the Emerald front?

Used to eat animals. Ran out of sheep and goats. They hard to find now. People don't run as fast.

I went and fed.

...

Does anyone know if Emerald is okay? Dustbin is being very...ominous...and... I just... Is there any way anyone can check up on her? Does anyone know how to get a hold of her?

Well, I'm not going to say I wasn't scared half out of my mind. I'm alive, obviously, and haven't had any parts dusted off. For those who showed concern, thank you. It was a sweet gesture.

I'm not going to talk about what happened, and I am a woman of my word.

She lives... I say no more.

And why do you people care exactly? It's not your business.

You're all a bunch of drama whores. Leave people to thier own business and keep your nose out of it.

You got me pegged.

Liberteen seems genuinely concerned.

I was genuinely concerned!

Concerned is nice.

Barging in, knocking down the door, with node ablaze in all its glory - that's sexy.

I like your style Emeralda. We should meet up some time.

Sure. How about Johnny's in Havana? Do you need transport, or can you make it on your own? Thursday's are the best, for conversation.

Heh, I would be indeed in need of transportation, if you feel like picking me up it would be awesome.

I have some work to do ... I'm a courier, but I can make it to you in a few hours. Were are you? PM me if you like.

Okay, I get it now. Cool.

Be careful what you wish for, Mellow.
