Oh, he isn't interfering. That's the problem.

[mistressery]

You want to be interfered with? Sounds dirty.

[vrituom]

Not me.

He protects this stupid planet. I never agreed to that.

[mistressery]

Tough tit. It's all about proximity and that's where the trouble is. 'Fuck it, might as well. I've got nothing else on' is where I settle when he asks me for my help.

[vrituom]

Yeah, didn't ask for your story.

[mistressery]

[has that ever stopped her before? can she even process or absorb that reply, that lack of interest? she's one hundred percent self-sustainable. she doesn't thrive off reactions. laughs at her own jokes too.]

And then I helpfully suggest killing somebody, and suddenly he's grouchy. One person, for a whole planet! It's not a high price to pay.

[vrituom]

You really don't know anything about the situation.

[mistressery]

Whose fault is that? Yours. You're a terrible conversationalist.

[vrituom]

There's a reason for that.

[mistressery]

Are you going to tell me the reason?

[vrituom]

I don't want a conversation.

[mistressery]

[I want a conversation. is on the tip of her fingers, because what other people want never used to matter. here and now, it matters somewhat. it trembles delicately on the verge of mattering.]

You're lucky I have any context whatsoever. It's a great big universe. He's never heard of half the places I've been, and vice versa. He's only mentioned you and the little prince in passing.

[vrituom]

Is there a point?

[mistressery]

I never need one, but I've no shortage of pointy things.

[vrituom]

( god who the fuck is this and how did she get stuck here )

I can't kill people.

[mistressery]

So I can't live vicariously through you? Aw, pity.

[vrituom]

I don't think you need me.

[mistressery]

I could really go for a genocide, most mornings, but we women know how to put longterm goals ahead of instant gratification.

[vrituom]

Some enemies are different.

[mistressery]

Some enemies need eradicating.

[vrituom]

Exactly.

[mistressery]

Me, personally, I don't believe that all sentient life has intrinsic value. But that's what most people think, and therein lies the problem. What does a species have to do before they're just not worth preserving?

[vrituom]

I don't care about most species.

[mistressery]

Oh, you're fun. Admitting that. Not pretending otherwise. I've always been curious what endangered animals taste like. And screw the environment too.

[vrituom]

I might not be able to kill you but there are other things I can do.
