It sounds like I'll actually die this time, so I'd advise against it.
( He's not too pressed about the possibility. He has no will to live, even to carry out revenge; it's a difficult contradiction to exist in. )
I was going to message you about Sinclair earlier. But I've been distracted. ( The dreaded D word... Almost as bad as the W word. Anyway. ) Do you still feel your injury right now?
( He doesn't know the specifics of what it is, but he extrapolated once he returned to normal that it was probably something nasty, and probably from an assassination attempt or another. Severine stuff. )
( It's terrible!!!! Worse than the no log out disease!!!!!!! )
I'd wondered if I'd exacerbated it.
( He refers to his past self as just "I," unlike his past self's proclivity. Anyway - would've been interesting, in a relevant way, if it had actually worsened it. But he'll set aside that inquiry, since it's a dead end. )
Assuming you and Sinclair survive, ( ominous phrasing, thanks, Mithrun, ) do you have the actual means to put a hit on Kromer?
( He knows Oria was serious about it. But can he? The issue of logistics was what they ran into before - but they were also neither in a state to actually talk shop about murder. He's neglecting Oria's offer to put a hit on Mithrun's target, since that's just not the topic right now. Frankly, if Kromer isn't within Oria's reach, then the professor, who's more tightly nestled within Sarabi's labyrinths, is out of the question. )
( you seduced my grandson and for WHAT? to be USELESS???? )
You don't want him to kill her himself, but you don't want to resolve the issue, and you know he's not going to make a decision on his own sooner than it runs him into the ground...
wasnt it always for you? or are you trying to convince yourself that you wanted to do it for sinclair at some point because he was with you but now that you think he wont do it youre saying that youre doing it for yourself?
yup thats how its always been thanks! i will definitely return intact and you better too is it right to assume youre kinda grounded bc you do get into a lot of risky situations on your own...

( what is even the point of you )
no subject
do you respect sinclair's autonomy
or only when it suits you?
no subject
Kromer is my business because she's useful to me. If neither you nor Sinclair want to touch her, then I'll handle it. Not for Sinclair, but for me.
That's all.
no subject
or are you trying to convince yourself that you wanted to do it for sinclair at some point because he was with you
but now that you think he wont do it
youre saying that youre doing it for yourself?
[ aka cope harder, mithrun ]

What I was telling you is that it's something for you to shelve, assuming some combination of us returns to reality intact.
no subject
thanks!
i will definitely return intact
and you better too
is it right to assume youre kinda grounded bc you do get into a lot of risky situations on your own...
