If you could kill anybody here and have them not come back, who would it be?

[coyoteking]

Probably the Joker. Never even met the guy, but he's a fuckin' problem.

[bywolves]

That's the easy answer.

[coyoteking]

Yeah, but... aside from him, probably nobody. Is that not the answer you were expecting?

[bywolves]

I wasn't expecting anybody specific, but I did imagine you'd have a name. Most people here, I think, wouldn't object to someone they hate dying and never showing up again.

[coyoteking]

I guess I have a surprisingly high standard for hating someone enough to want them dead, maybe. In the moment? Sure. I get pissed, I get violent. But after? I'm not as cool with it as I'd like to sound.

also forced honesty is STUPID

[ This is vastly amusing to Royce. ]

Impractical, but you'll win points with other people for being a decent person.

[coyoteking]

[His turn to snort.] I doubt anybody's going to accuse me of being a decent person.

[bywolves]

People have accused me of it. It's not unthinkable.

[coyoteking]

Okay let me rephrase that: nobody who isn't like, my friend, is going to accuse me of being a decent person.

[Was that a stealth insult? Maybe.]

[devoutish]

How often do you feel in over your head?

[coyoteking]

Pretty much always. That's the truth, but I try not to think about it.

Only time I don't is when I'm actually doing something really stupid. Which is stupid.

[devoutish]

You're young. Men your age should have a bit more time before they're thrown into leadership, but it doesn't sound like you had that option.

[coyoteking]

If I did, I don't now. I'll probably fuck everything up, but I can't just not, you know?

[devoutish]

You're in the aftermath of some sort of war, yeah?

[coyoteking]

Yeah. I mean, it was before my time, and we rebuilt a lot of shit, but I guess there's a lot that's different now.

[devoutish]

Mm. You'll grow into it, if you can.

[coyoteking]

"If" being the operative phrase, right?
If we're being real here, though, that is kind of weirdly encouraging.

[devoutish]

Well, I'm not gonna lie to you, mate. I think you've got a chance, but it's not an easy thing.

[coyoteking]

Yeah, I mean I figured that much. But a chance is a chance, right?

[devoutish]

Do you feel that optimistic about it?

[coyoteking]

I don't know if that's the word I'd use. Like I said, pretty sure I'm gonna fuck up, but even if that was a guarantee, I'd probably still do it. If I assume I have a chance of not fucking up, then it's better.

[What does that even mean Charles.]

[hangfire]

Were the things Dr. House said about you the goddamn truth or not?

[coyoteking]

No, they weren't. I'm not a trans guy.

... Unless House said something else about me I don't remember.
