I really do. Sadly, didn't get a chance to pack much, found out Sanna was off about when she was going through customs. So I pretty much have a change of clothes, toothbrush and knives. Not terribly prepared, had to rob an art shop for most of the important supplies. French proxies less than helpful. Lot of ill will from Felix. Apparently popular; explains why so high up while being entirely incompetent. So without usual supplies, having to improvise. And avoid others. Blame me for proxy M tortured. Apparently I should have' done something'. Pricks. What do they want, me to step in whenever something goes wrong? I probably would've died if I tried anything, or got caught and let something slip about my people (note to self; false tooth with cyanide capsule. Wonder if you can get that at the dentists?). On the other hand, there are more of them than me, and they also have knives.
Had something of a run-in with the Cold Boy's followers. Children of the cold, or something along those lines. Bastards just don't die. Or even bleed. Slow down. It's like stabbing a tree. Or, like, a zombie. Probably wouldn't burn; they cooled down my tea through a thermos, so they'll be too cold to set alight. Not to mention a lighter probably wouldn't even set a regular guy alight without an accelerant. Maybe if I siphoned off a car or something. Or beheaded. Maybe if I could bum an axe or sword off the Frenchies. If they didn't just kick me out. Almost makes me wish I hadn't warned them M knew where they were.
There's some static in my headphones, pretty much constant. Guess Master's watching me. Feels odd. Wrong and right at the same time. Still, not worth worrying about. He probably won't step in unless He wants to, and you can be pretty damn sure that stopping me from dying won't be that high on His to-do list.
Try, "New Shit," it's short and gets the point across. Hey, pHIL, since you're assigned to Sanna what do you intend to do besides stalk her? Also, no cyanide please it'd suck not seeing you and Kelevra fight all the time.
ReplyDeleteAll my job is is to keep an eye on her. So that's all I intend to do.
DeleteAs for the cyanide thing, since I don't know much French and doubt many dentists would do it as standard, I'n gonna have to go without for now. Suppose I'll go the alternative route of avoiding being caught.
Well, I wouldn't tell anyone about the cyanide thing next time, just sayin'. If I ever have to interrogate a proxy I might be inclined to induce emesis every fifteen minutes.
ReplyDeleteThat depends, really. For example, if one possessed an antidote to the poison, they could poison themselves in advance and take the antidote upon reaching safety. And, as I'm sure you're aware, there are several alternative methods someone could take to top themselves. Poison just seems less painful- if, for example, someone did make me vomit, I'd probably do my damned best to inhale it. Acidic liquid in the lungs. Beats the shit out of letting something slip and getting other people killed because of it. If that failed, I could always try the 'bite your tongue, choke on the blood' trick. Must be hundreds of ways to kill oneself.
