The worm has turned [Caegar]

-- zeusAmmon [ZA] began pestering whitefacedInquisitor [WI] --

ZA: You.
ZA: Anguis once said you're a fantastic kismesis.
ZA: So you're probably the one I should come to on this.
ZA: Trying to get a blackrom up and running.
ZA: It's not going well.
ZA: He gets pissed.
ZA: Doles out insults and threats to kill.
ZA: But that is simply not enough.
ZA: I want him to actually try.
ZA: And I don't mean playful hate then getting it on.
ZA: No.
ZA: I mean full on trying to commit murder.
ZA: Any advice?
ZA: For clarification.
ZA: The person I'm talking about is Finn.
ZA: Our Bard of Rage.

[vio]

WI: v That is the dumbest fucking plan I have ever heard in my life. v
WI: v And you are even more oblivious than I thought if you think that's all black romance is. v
WI: v A fucking udderbeast could outsmart you. Congratulations. v

[alexander]

ZA: Yes.
ZA: I am an idiot for attempting something that is completely alien.
ZA: And unheard of in our universe.
ZA: And not getting it right away.
ZA: And I figured blackrom was fueled by pure hatred.
ZA: What else is it then?

[vio]

WI: v Black romance is hate. v
WI: v And rivalry. v
WI: v HATE'S NOT ENOUGH MOTHERFUCKER v
WI: v You need to be v
WI: v A challenge v
WI: v When you see the Bard getting what he wants, what do you feel? v

[alexander]

ZA: That might actually be a problem.
ZA: He rarely ever gets what he wants.
ZA: Hell, he admitted in private to his sister that he liked this one girl.
ZA: Sister proceeds to tell girl.
ZA: Girl proceeds to publicly humiliate him in front of everyone.
ZA: And I mean everyone.
ZA: By putting it on a blog.
ZA: When he does get what he wants.
ZA: I guess for me it's more disbelief than anything.
ZA: Like wondering if the stars aligned and hell froze over.
ZA: And that pigs suddenly grew glorious angelic wings.
ZA: And took to the skies.

[vio]

WI: v What you need to do, motherfucker v
WI: v Is shift the balance of power your way v
WI: v Find out what the motherfucker wants, and take it. If you can't take it, break it. v
WI: v Or, if you're not completely incompetent, keep it whole v
WI: v Just out of his reach v
WI: v And make it so that the only way he can get it v
WI: v is to make himself vulnerable. v
WI: v Sabotage him at every turn. If he takes a step, trip him. If he looks away from you, punch him in the motherfucking nug. v
WI: v Make yourself responsible for every little motherfucking thing that goes wrong in his life. v
WI: v Even if you aren't, nawmsaying? v
WI: v A proper kismesissitude is one where you both challenge each other. v
WI: v It would take me sweeps to explain the nuances of black romance to something like you. v
WI: v The shifting of power, how making yourself all vulnerable can be the best move you could ever fucking make, and how the battle can make you feel SO ALIVE v
WI: v To summarize v
WI: v The foundation of a kismesissitude v
WI: v Is rivalry. v
WI: v Hate is the emotion the rivalry evokes. v
WI: v DO YOU MOTHERFUCKING UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M LAYING DOWN HERE? v

[alexander]

ZA: Well right now he wants Lexi.
ZA: Which has backfired for him enormously.
ZA: I suppose I could go after our Time player.
ZA: She's his sister, and they are exceptionally close.
ZA: Moirail might be the closest I can go really.
ZA: Well he hates me back.
ZA: That much I know.
ZA: There might be another problem.
ZA: Does there have to be a cause of the hate?
ZA: Cause he and I have hated each other since we've known each other.
ZA: No idea why.
ZA: Just always have.
ZA: But if what you say is true.
ZA: Is a blackrom even possible?
ZA: I mean he's kind of a beast.
ZA: Really, he's easy to trap and once he is.
ZA: He just rages.
ZA: So I don't know if the balance would ever shift out of my favor.
ZA: Although, I prefer to be in control at all times.

[vio]

WI: v That doesn't sound promising at motherfucking all. v
WI: v If he can't challenge you, it would be better for both of you to just not fucking bother. v
WI: v Or be left with an unfulfilling kismesissitude and one of you probably ends up dead. v
WI: v Are you sure you're even black for this motherfucker? v
WI: v Sounds more like you disregard him entirely. v
WI: v With just a hint of pity. v

[alexander]

ZA: No it's not pity.
ZA: He brings everything down on himself.
ZA: So he sort of deserves it.
ZA: He's never really been the sharpest tool either.
ZA: He ran away from Cali and Bear to go live with some other guy who is actually AWOL.
ZA: In your terms.
ZA: He abandoned a lusus that brought home tons of money and, according to Anguis, could kill her lusus with one hand.
ZA: For a lusus who's been court ordered to have his ass kicked.
ZA: Like I said.
ZA: Not too bright.
ZA: But if it won't be challenging.
ZA: That's kind of sad.
ZA: He's like the only one of us.
ZA: With enough power in him.
ZA: To actually give me a good fight.
ZA: I could take most of the guardians.
ZA: The others won't be exhilarating.
ZA: Plus, I don't really hate people.
ZA: You're a huge bitch to me all the time.
ZA: Don't hate you.
ZA: Hate him though.
