[The feed starts, showing a rather serious-looking Stride somewhere in the city. Considering that he's generally looking amused or intrigued, this is most unusual...especially since he's just short of frowning as he leans against the side of a building.

In short order, he produces a lit cigarette.]

Only the start of day two and look at how things are going...

[His tone is rather blank today too.]

And that would be all you have to say on the matter?

[a3stepnpc]

There's plenty I could say on it. Nothing that will do anything though.

How are you finding things?

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

I question whether there is anything that you actually have control of given recent events.

Repetitive but far from anything worth of fear.

[a3stepnpc]

Oh? What brings such a question?

That's rather interesting.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

I believe that might well be obvious if one thinks upon it long enough.

Not really, how can one fear when they were without emotions in the beginning?

[a3stepnpc]

Possibly. But I like to hear you talk.

You'd be surprised.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

Somehow that does not surprise me, you do seem to be an odd one after all.

Perhaps with some. We were not meant to feel fear, fear is for the Lilim.

[a3stepnpc]

[A slight smile.] Odd? Me? Never.

What was meant to happen is not always what does. But I'm sure you know that.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

You're about as normal as I am, which is far from that particular end of the scale.

I'm aware, I suppose you could say that I make an existence out of defying orders.

[a3stepnpc]

I'm quite fond of my uniqueness. Yours isn't bad either.

We all spend our existence doing something.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

That does not surprise me.

I would have to disagree on certain levels.

[a3stepnpc]

Do tell.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

My secret.

[a3stepnpc]

You and your many secrets. [Stride grins. He doesn't really mind after all.]

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

Well, it would lack interest if I made things terribly easy.

[a3stepnpc]

Can't have that.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[b3stepnpc.livejournal.com]

I told you I didn't approve of their choice in events.

[a3stepnpc]

I never said I did.

But we had an agreement.

[a3stepnpc]

[Exhaling smoke.]

One of the less friendly deities has set a new game in motion. I'm not particularly interested in it. The simple desire to harm mortals is not my cup of tea you see.

[a3stepnpc]

[Stride chuckles a little.] I'll be sure to pass that message on.

It's a week long Paradise game. I'd have picked something less. [Gesturing in a way that more or less says "this".]

[a3stepnpc]

Certainly. <3
