NIETZSCHE; DEAD PHILOSOPHERS' INBOX

[explosivecombat]

[TEXT; LOCKED TO doitrockapella]

The offer for conversation is always open, should you desire to take me up on it; I can't guarantee that I'll respond immediately, nor will it necessarily be the response you want, but I'll always respond in some way.

In the name of enlightened discourse.

It was either that or your illustrious employers. I had a fifty-fifty chance.

Now I'm regretting ever giving him back his costume.

[explosivecombat]

...This is a bit beside the point, isn't it?

[doitrockapella]

The point being that you don't want me going anywhere, lest I get caught up in this massive coordinated attack.

[explosivecombat]

...It sounds almost sentimental when you put it that way.

[doitrockapella]

Aren't you?

[explosivecombat]

Let me pretend I haven't gone hideously soft.

[doitrockapella]

That's fair enough. Assuming you'll let me continue pretending my boyfriend has a soft spot for me.

[explosivecombat]

Fair enough indeed.

[doitrockapella]

There's one thing I've been thinking about, speaking of pretending. Humor me a little longer?

You didn't hurt the Kimono Girls. Was that coincidence?

[explosivecombat]

[It takes him a while to reply; not because he has no idea what to say, exactly - though he doesn't - but more because this...is not a good topic, in past experience.]

Coincidence...?

[doitrockapella]

Because I've asked you before, if it were possible for you to carry out a mission without hurting anyone, if you'd do it.

It's not that I think I had anything to do with it. I just can't figure out why you left them alone, comparatively speaking. Unless those pictures were expertly arranged, it didn't look as though you hurt them.

[explosivecombat]

I didn't harm them, no. If I had, I would have taken pictures that showed that; I've never been shy about the damage I've caused.

It's not something I consciously decided to do, but that was...more or less the reasoning behind it, honestly - I didn't hurt them because the mission didn't require it.

[doitrockapella]

I hope this new one proves to be the same way.

[explosivecombat]

Due to the nature of the mission, I can't guarantee it, but I can tell you that I'm not specifically after any one person.

Anyone that's injured as a result is collateral damage, not the target.

[doitrockapella]

I'm not asking for miracles, don't worry.

Но вы вознаградить меня, когда я делаю хорошо; за то, что оно того стоит, мне кажется, что я должен вернуться пользу сейчас.

[explosivecombat]

...Just stay out of the cities for now.

You'll know when the attacks hit; there isn't anything planned for immediately after that, at least not to my knowledge.

I'm sure we'll speak before then, but for now I just ask that you listen to me regarding this.

[doitrockapella]

I don't think the proprietors of the bed and breakfast will mind having my patronage another few days.

You know, this makes you the only man in the world who knows exactly where in the world I am.

[explosivecombat]

I'll consider it an honor, then.

[doitrockapella]

I've learned I rather like it when someone does — so long as it's just one exceptional person.

Call soon, Nietzsche.
